HOW MARK TWAIN MET HIS WIFE

sary, so his testimony would be of no value The letters to the clergy were written, and MT, Langdon also wrote one on his own account. .'Clemens was in Jacksonville, Ill.,, at the end of March, 1869, and in letter to his publisher states that he will be in Elmira two days later, and asks that proofs of the book he sent there. He ar rived according to schedule, anxious to hear the reports that would make him, as the novels might say, the happiest or the most miserable of mem Jervis Lang- don had a rather solemn look when they were alone together. Clemens asked:
 "'You've heard from those gentlemen out there?'
 "'Yes, and from another gentleman l wrote concerning you .,.,s~,ss
 "'They don't appear to have been very enthusiastic from your mannerf
 ".Well, yes, some of them were.
 |" I suppose I may ask what particular form their emotion took?'
 "'Oh. yes; yes, they agree unanimously that you are a brilliant. able man. man with future, and that you would make about the worst husband on record.'
 .~The applicant for favor had a forlorns look.
 "'There's nothing very evasive about that he said.
 'arhere was period of reflective silence. It was probably no more than a few sec onds, but 1t seemed longer. "Haven't you any other friend that you could suggest? Langdon said. "'Apparently none whose testimony 1 would be valuable | ..Jervis LangdoR held out his hand. You have at least one, he said. T believe In you. I know you better than they do.'
 And so came the crown of happiness. The engagement of Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Olivia Lewis Langdon was ratified next day. February ?. 1S6s."

Advancing Iron Market

The pig iron market is moving up slowly but surely. A few weeks ago $10 on No. basis was the top price. A week or more ago iron for delivery in the second half of the week was firm at delivery at less than s11 on No. basis. It is not unlikely that Birmingham iron will be selling at $12 before July.
 Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port, just issued. says:
 There is great deal more satisfaction in doing business in the iron trade at the present than there has been for many months. It is gratifying to deal with people who are tolerably cheerful and who take a rosy view of the future. and that is now the case in the iron trade Sentiment has tremendously improved. We have been fooled fin the past by false booms and upward starts that failed to keep going, but it looks this time as If things were on solid basis.
 "The week has been marked by con- tinued large transactions. The volume of new business is heavy. Consumers are showing their faith in the situation by trying to buy for delivery as far in the future as the furnaces will allow-in fact offers at present prices for 1913 delivery have been made. although no furnace company can be found willing to consider such a thing. In the south all weakness has disappeared and $i1 is the rule rather than the exception. This price compared with s9.5O in November looks good rvir- .t..t- ment in things, but now Virginia irons are up with the rest of the procession.
 There is no question that the country is melting iron at the present time faster than it is producing it.''

 Howard R. Taylor of Howard R. Tay- Tor & Co.,, bankers and brokers of Balti- more, and representatives of Morris Bros, of Philadelphia and New York, after spending a week in Birmingham will leave for his home this morning. The Morris Brothers are financing the Bir- mingham, Ensley and Bessemer Railway company popularly known as the Tide water line, and MT.

 Tt is plain to see that Birmingham is growing fast said Mir. Taylor. 1T have visited this city from time to time and on each visit I have noticed im- provements. The city's progress has been greatly In evidence during the past two years. It is now growing at faster rate than ever before. The capitalists that I represent are highly pleased with their investments here.
 "The Birmingham. Ensley and Bessemer Railway company will soon be operating from East Lake to Ensley and early next fall we will start to build from Ensley and Corey to Bessemer. Bir- mingham has a magnificent future an assured future. In the words of our prospectus setting forth facts in con- necton with this work:

WOMEN NOT TO HAVE
TO PAY POLL TAXES

"Ha ha," laughed an opponent OF
equal suffrage yesterday, who is go
ing to pay the womens poll tax -
The question was asked for rhetorical
effect Of course, as the man believed
that women are liable for poll tax M
der equal suffrage. Hence the ha-ha,
He figured that if John Doe refused
TO give Mrs. Doe two dollars with
which TO pay her poll tax she would
not be able to vote
Mr.. Doe, however is wrong, for as
a matter of fact there is no such
thing as poll tax in Arizona. Pay
ing a tax Is not made a prequlsite Jf
suffrage. Arizona has 4 school tax
and a street tax with which every
male poll in the state is taxed, but
female polls are not taxable.
The right Of suffrage has no con-
nection whatever with taxation. and
Yomen viii not be charged a tax for
the right TO vote" said lawyer who
investigated the question for the Re
