MARK TWAIN'S BOOK
 WAS MARKED DOWN

There are some singular discounts allowed in the book trade. They were happily Illustrated on one occasion by Mark Twain. One day, while the humorist was connected with a pub fishing house, he went to bookcase, and picking up a volume, asked the price. He then suggested that, as a publisher he was entitled to 30 per cent. discount To this the clerk as- sented.
 "As l am also the author of the books" said Mark Twain, "it would appear that I am again entitled to 50 per cent. discount" And the clerk bowed.
 "And as I am personal friend of the proprietor" he modestly con- tinued. q presume you will allow me the usual g per cent. discount ?"
 Well" drawled the unblushing humorist, under these conditions I think I may as well take the book. Whats the tax?" The clerk took out his pencil and figured industriously. Then he said, with great obseguious- ness, 'as'near as I can calculate we owe you the book and about 3712 cents"

Charlie Burlock tells of strike" that occurred near Carson City, Ne vada, few years ago when he hap pened to be near there. It promised so well that soon good-sized mining camp had sprung up. The two prin- cipal mine owners were an 1rishman and Jew and the rest of the settlers left it to them to select a name for the new town.
 Followed hot debate. The Irish man wanted name from the Emer- aid Isle, the Jew one that would be suggestive of the chosen people. 1t threatened to name the town them selves that the two finally comprom- ised on "Tipperusalem."
 One of Flagstaff's brides of year or so ago told a friend of hers the other night that her husband gave her rainbow kiss the night before.

 "Yes, sir" said Jimmy; then has tened to wait on an elderly lady who had come in after postage stamp.
 Anything else, mum?" Jimmy in- quired, politely, after he had handed out the stamp; "hair dye, cosmetic, face powder, rheumatic drops, belle donna, mole destroyer"

 "Whither are We drifting?" It is a
 question old,
 We're drifting through the twilight,
 where the autumn tints unfold, Drifting toward an iceberg and drift
 ing toward the snow, Where the winter stars are sparkling
 and the stormy waters flow. Whither are We drifting? The fiow'rs
 that fade today
 Still hold hint of perfume and re-
 mind us of the May. We're drifting toward the springtime
 beyond the icy realm, And we'll land in glorious summer if
 we're careful at the helm.

 It would be an admirable thing for some bright young man to get drunk, get arrested, and thus be able to write up what happens while one is m that condition, how he feels, what he thinks about, and so on. In these days of prohibition, unless it is done soon, there will be no record left in our lit erary annals of how mans mind does work under such conditions. Thus will be lost to poSterity record that would be every bit as valuable as DeQuincy's Confessions of an Opium Eater" We know where to lay hands on the bright young man. In fact, we will volun- teer for the job ourself, if only some of our local capitalists will spill out a little of their surplus cash to buy the booze necessary to make our plan a success.
