MARK TwAIN,s BOSWELL.

Mark Twain was a, many-sided man. Tn his early days he may have been humorist, and nothing more. Tn his latter years he was philosopher, and not exactly a cheerful one. Per haps the man best acquainted with the little known phases Of Mir. Clem- ens's character and thought was his "Boswell,'' Albert Bigelow Paine Through all the last years on earth of the eminent humorist- philosopher, Mir Paine was his all but constant companion. He accompanied MT. Clemens on his last trip to his below ed Bermuda, and he was with him when the end came. What Boswell was to pr. Samuel Johnson, MT. Paine was to MT. Clemens, and more.
 The original Boswell had many bad hours with the great Dr. Johnson, but MT. Paine's task was much easier. Tn his youth MT. Clemens had what might be called a "ttemper,9 as he himself had admitted. Philosopflic calm came with maturity MT. Paine had .or1ly Twain,s personality, smoke his cigars. and note down his words of wit and wisdom M Clemens was not afflict- ed with false modesty. He knew that the world was interested in him, in everything that he said and did. He make his Life of Mark Twain a personally conducted tour in the res gions inhabited by his mind and heart.
 5, Albert Bigelow Paine was born at New Bedford, Mass, fifty-one years ago July 10. 1881. He went West at public schools of xenia. III. He knew the middle West, where Samuel Clemens spent his youth and early manhood. Hike book Mr. Paine was for a time dealer in photo graphic supplies in a small city in Kansas before he took up literature. Tn 1893 he collaborated with William Allen White, of Emporia, in Rhymes of Two Friends The following year he published his first novel, The Mystery of Eveline Delorme. The book, like the title, was. bit anna teurish but it carried promise of bet ter things to come. And come they did. 1896, MT. Paine joined with Ruth McEnery Stuart, in writing Go bolinks." ssThe Autobiography of a Monkey and "The Arkansaw Bear were works in which promise reach ed fullfillment. score Of other sued from the typewriter of MT. Paine and one of his more recent books, ''The Ship Dwellers," has been com pared by critics with MT. Clemens .Innocents Abroad The infirNnce of MT. Paine's association with Mark IWa1n IS pId1HIy VlSAple III llAat WoA A:
 MT. Clemens declared that he con- sidered MT. Paine among the great est of living American writers. There was nothing of master and student in their relationship. They met on a basis of equality, and were comrades and friends. The object of their as
 sociation was side issue.
 Mark Twain's religious and philos- ophic views were far from orthodoxy He held to doctrines all his own, to which it is impossible to attach any recognized tag or label, but which approached somewhat to what is call- ed determinism. Man.. he declared is a machine, worked on by outside influences, by association and train ing, without vestige of free will. He asserted, also, that there is no line

 The cardinal after having read these two lines sank into a profound reverie, but he did not return, the paper to D'Artagnan. At length he raised his head, fixed his eagle look upon that loyal, open and intelligent countenance, read upon that face, furrowed with tears, all the suffering he had endured in the course of the, last month and re- 1ected for the third or fourth time how much that youth of twenty-one years sources his activity, his courage and his shrewd understanding might offer to good master.

 Laundry.
 It is an imposition on good nature for a housewife to be inflicted with the drudgery of the weekly wash, these hot, humid days, when 1t is all most too much exertion to exist at leisure. The Crawford laundry is ready, six days a week, to take this from you by simply telephoning 4320. The cost is less than you can do it in your own home and at the same time you are free from the disagree able odors and the nerve raclxing, back breaking work. If you are not a customer of the Crawford Laundry Co. become one today. One trial convinces and makes you steady patron. A sample of the Crawford work speaks louder than columns of advertising.
 The Rogers Mark.
 The Rogers mark on clothing stands for the Rogers House and its foundation principles of integrity, value, truthfulnesss, quality and cour- tesy It is their trade banner; 1t is the standard in which they are meas ured. They place the Rogers mark upon all their clothing to identify them as their own. They realize that good reputation is like a plant of delicate nature, it is not rapid in it's growth, 1t does not shoot up in a sim gle night, but in a single night it can perish. The Rogers clothing house have been located in this city only few months but have made a won derfuI success in this short time, They Esc. built their clothes for fNtEre orders. Charles Collins who for many years has been one of this city's most popular SaleSmen, is the manager for Rogers. The Rogers clothing house is situated where the old City Market used to be at Main street, near Bank. Just now this house is having 8 clothing sale in which many dollars cen be saved on clothing.

S s infernal genius of nnilady had more than once terrified him. He felt some thing like a secret joy at having got rid of this dangerous accomp1ice.
 He slowly tore the paper Thich j D'Artagnan had generously placed in his hand Then he went to the table and, without sitting down, wrote a few lines upon parchment of which two-t thirds was already filled up and affxed his seal to it.
 s'Here, monsieur said the cardinal to the young man; T have taken from you one signed blank to give you an other. The name is wanting in this commission; you can write it yourself 9
 D'Artagnan took the paper hesitat. 1fAgly and cast his eyes over it. It was ER ieufenant's commission in the mus keteers.
 D'Artagnan fell at the feet of. the cardinal s'Monseigneur.' said he, "my life is yours; hencef6rward dispose of it. But I have three friends who are more meritorious and more worthy''
 You are a brave youth, D'Artagnan Do with this commission what you will, only remember that, though the name be blank, it was to you that l gave it. Rochefort!'
 The chevalier entered immediately.
 "Rochefort, , said the cardinal, '.you see M.l d,Artagnan. T receive him among the number of ny friends Elm brace, then, and be prudent If you have any wish to preserve your heads"
 Rochefort and D,Artagnan saluted scoolly, but the cardinal was there ob- serving them with his vigilant eye.
 They left the chamber at the same time.

 Porthos, cast his eyes over the com mission and returned it to D'Artagnan
 "Yes,'' said he--''yes, that would flat ter me very much, but I should not have time enough to enjoy the distinc- tion.

 the cardinal to return to sI.a Rochelle, left his capital still in. amazement at the news which began to spread of Buckingham's assassfna- ton.

 M Bonacieux lived on very quietly, perfectly ignorant what had become of his wife, and caring very little, about the matter One day he had the i'm prudence to intrude himself upon the memory of the cardinal. The cardinal had him informed that he would pro- vide for him so that he should never want for anything in future. In fact, M. Bonacieux, having left his house at 7 o'clock in the evening to go to the Louvre, never appeared again in the Rue des Fossoyeurs, and the opinion of those who seemed to be the best informed was that he was fed and lodged in some royal castle at the ex- pense of his generous eminence.
