TWAIN'S STRUGGLE WITH GER.
 MAN

In May, 1S7S began Mark Twain's continental WanderJngs which result ed in the writing of "A Tramp Abroad"
 The voyage of the Clemens family to Germany, with it's many delightful companionships, ended at Hamburg after two weeks stormy sailing. They rested a few day5 there, then went to Hanover and Frankfort, and at last to Heidelberg.
 Meantime the struggle with the awful German language" went on It was a general hand-to-hand contest. From the head of the household down to little Bay not one was exempt To Clemens it became a sort of night mare. once in his notebook he says: "Drcamed all bad foreigners went to German heaven; couldn't talk and wished they had gone to the other place" and little farther along, "I | wish I could hear myself talk Ger man"
 l Rosa. the maid, was required to speak to the children only in Ger man. though Bay at first would have none of it. The nurse and the gov 1 crness tried to blandish her. in vain | She maintained cam anu ptIoiSleill
 attitude of scorn. Little Susy tried and really made progress; but one day, she said, pathetically: Mamma, l wish Rosa was made in | English"
 Even Howells. in far-off America, | caught the infection, and began let
 ter in German, though he hastened to ask: "Or do you prefer English by 1 this time?" HoWells added: Really
 I could imagine the German going
 hard with you. for you always seem
 ed to me a man who liked to be un~
 derstood with the least possible in
 convenience"
 Clemens more than once declared l that he scOrned the courageous ana | impossible German grammar, ana abandoned it altogether. 1 He was daily impressed with the l lingual attainments of foreigners and
 his own lack of them. In the notes he comments:
 Am addressed in German. and

AUGUST WAS
 BUSY MONTH
Real Estate Activity Con tinued Good Through the Month and the Outlook fer Fall Business Is Very Bright

Notwfthstanding the fact that the latter part of August is usually con- Esidered the quiet season of the year in real estate lines, the past week or ten days has been a reasonably active period. according to the l.. J. Bennitt CO During that time, the Bennitt companv has disposed of d number of pieces of town property, and with the C0-operation of other agents, has made a number of transactions One of the most important of the week, is the sale of a new house in East Ev- ergreen through T. B. Trent of the Crescent Realty Co. to W. l.. Wort man. president of the Arizona Motor CO, Inc The house is situated on East Culver street and the finishing touches are just being put on it. It is a beautiful place, modern in every respect. and we'll located. MT. Wort man is much pleased with his new property. and will move in as soon as it is completed, probably about the first of October. The house was built by the Bennitt Go.
 Working with MT Prince of the Heard office, lots sixteen and seven teen in block one, Capitol addition, were sold for Mrs. Helen Brum. to P D GrizZard This is a well lOcat- ed corner at Sixteenth Avenue and Monroe street. It is understood that Mir. Grizzard will shortly build on the property, also lot three in block one Athena Place. for Ralph J. Peck, to J. C. Matthews. MT. Matthews has already commenced the construction of a modern dwelling on the property
 The Capitol Realty Co, through the F'ickas and Bennitt offices, during the week sold to F. D. Washer lots twen- ty-nine and thirty in block Oue, Cap itol addition, on Monroe street. Mir Washer also purchased the forty feet adjoining on the west, and already has one house started. He oOntem- plates building on the corner within a short time
 The demand for new houses seems to continue good and in anticipation of still greater demand in the early fall, the Bennitt Go. has just let con tracts for several additional new houses. one in East Evergreen, and q couple in Capitol addition.
 This office also reports the sale of lot thirteen in block H, Bennett Place from Mrs. EliZabet JamisOn to Chas A. Stauffer. fifty-fOot lot for $500 MT. Stauffer has signed a contract fol the immediate erection of a modern residence which will cost $350O tC build.

UNEMPLOYED REALTY
Tract West of City to be Brought
 Under Cultivation

Loch and Company during the week sold an S0-acre tract of land to a local buyer. The same man pur- chased the adjacent so acres several months ago. It is located seven miles west of Phoenix and is unimproved The new owners are arranging to past six months in selling unimproved and provide it with other improve ments at once. Loch and Company have been very successful during the past si months in selling unimproved land to men who have at once gone to work to improving and placing the land into cultivation It is realized that this is the kind of sales that mean a great deal to Salt River Val ley. The last sale they made illus trates the confidence of local people in farm lands of the valley.

 The Clemens party enjoyed Heidel- berg, though in different ways. The children romped and picnicked in the castle grounds, which adjoned the hotel; Mrs. Clemens and Miss SpauI- ding were devoted to bric-a- brac hunting, picture galleries and music. Clemens took long walks or made ex- cursions by rail and diligence to far ther points. Art and opera did not appeal to him. The notebook says:

now; I am sure I know of no agony comparable to the listening to an un- familiar opera I am enchanted with the airs of "Trovatorc" and other old operas which the hand organ and the music box have made entirely familiar to my ear. I am carried away with delighted enthusiasm when they are sung at the opera. But oh, how far between they are, And what long. arid, heartbreaking and headaching be- tweentimes of that sort of intense but incOherent noise which always so reminds me of the time the orphan asylum burned down.
