ORIGIN OF MARK TWAIN" ."

Samuel L. Clemens Quoted as Saying
 He Inherited the Name.
 The familiar story of the origin of Samuel L. Clemens use of the name Mark Twain Is now declared to be incorrect. It pictures Clemens, Missis- sippi river pilot, listening to the men heaving the lead at the bow of river boat and singing out. By the mark. three; by the mark, twain" Tableau! Clemens smites his brow and solilO- Quizes, There is my nom de plume"
 It is true that the name originated with the picturesque cry of the man with the lead. but man other than MT. Clemens first discovered the pie turesqueness- That man was Captain Isaiah Sellers, who furnished river news for the New Orleans Picayune To Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale MT. Clemens confessed that 1t was from Sellers he got the name Professor Phelps story is quoted in Professor Henderson's Mark Twain"
 According to this book. MT. Clemens said to Professor Phelps: Captain Sel- lers used to sign his articles in the Picayune Mark Twain He died in 1863. liked the name-and stole 1t. think have done him no wrong, for I seem to have made this name some what generally known"
 Professor Henderson records a num- Der of interesting incidents connected with the use of this name. For awhile. when he was a miner in Nevada. MT. Clemens sent to the Virginia City Enterprise humorous letters signed not Mark Twain" but Josh"
 When he became a regular reporter on that paper and reported the legisla ture he signed his reports Mark Twain" When questioned as to his use of this name Mir Clemens declar- ed: 'I chose my pseudonym because to most persons 1t had no meaning and also because it was short. was a reporter in the legislature and wished to save the legislature time. It was much shorter to say in their debates Mark Twain than to say The un- principled and lying parliamentary re- porter of the Territorial Enterprise! "
 MT. Clemens made the name known on the Pacific coast, but the world at large did not hear it for years after the Jumping Frog" reprinted in hun- dreds of exchanges without credit. had jumped into such notoriety as is rarely accorded well hammered frogs. Tn fact. its first use in any eastern magazine was a fiasco.
 MT. Clemens made a great scoop on the Hornet disaster when he was writ. ing up the Hawaiian Islands in 1S66. says Professor Henderson. His ac- count of the disaster Mark sent to Harper's Magazine. where 1t appeared in December, 1866. But, alas. 1t was not as Mark Twain" not as a drawL ing. lovable river pilot sort of person that the world beheld the new author. for he had not written his pseudonym plainly on his copy. and Harper's cheerfully introduced him to fame as H'Mike Swain"

The Seven Ages of the chrissmas
 Turkey.

The Seven Ages of the chrissmas
 Turkey. All the worlds a platter And all the men and women merely eat They have with theH .lways their appe-
 tites, And one turk in his time plays many
 parts, His acts being seven ages: At first the
 roast, Reposing grandly on the grooming board. Thanked by rich dressing and cranberry
 sauce, A dainty dish to set before the king: Then the warmed over bird, served mp Lest we forget the Yuletide's merry meal; Then the cold cuts, at luncheon and at
 tea, Still succulent, If you do ike cold cuts; Next comes the stew, yclept a fr1cassee. With dumplings made to 6atten up tho
 dish And which. forsoOth. do cause us many
 groans And pangs of indigestion; then croQuettss Garnished with parsley cunninEly and
 mixed With what suspiciously doth taste Mks
 veal And so they play their part. The saxth
 age shifts Into the lean and languid turkey hash, Reposing on slab of soggy toast, A bitter aftermath of glories paat For toothless age. Last scene of an That ends this strange, eventful history: A skeleton, rack of clean picked boues That finds its dismal way into the soup Of second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans breast, sans legs, sans wings, sans
 everything. Sam g. Sttnson-

Odd Jur,es.

The sheriff of a certain county in England, being of jocular turn of mind. quietly picked a jury of the twelve fattest men eligible for the pur- pose-men so fat that when they ap- peared in court and the time came for them to take up their position in the jury box 1t was found that but nine of them could be accommodated. However. by encouragement and squeezing and amid the boisterous laughter of the court they finally sue ceeded in crowding into their allotted quarters-a packed jury in the most literal sense. Following this fat jury. the same merry sheriff had collected a lean jury, thin enough to have been accommodated in the jury box twice over. At another time he gathered a jury of barbers and, as a crownIng feat, a jury of twelve men who squint- ed.-Green Bag.
