 Mark Twain was ono of the mild est hammered, kindest hearted, most generous men I ever knew. He was appreciative and seemingly not in the least conscious of his great popular ity and his wonderful genius. I ap- preciated his friendship and at my sisters home in Elmira I have stored away numbers of things which he gave me that I prize very highly mementoes of the happy hours I spent in his company. Among these valued trophies, as I mentioned be- fore, is the old toad stabber," which was the real cause of our acquain- tance and friendship.
 Other NOtabIes
 Besides Mark Twain, other not ables whom I numbered in my c1ien- tele were David Jayne Hill, one of the most misunderstood of men, es- pecially after his connection with Tammany.

That was the great Mark Twain You can imagine my surprise.
 "A few minutes later I saw him returning to the barbeA shop and going up to the proprietor he talked with him, and then I saw the pro prietor point to mo. I didn't know what was the matter, and presently Mark Twain came over to me and said: Young man, do you want to sell that razor? thought he was poking fun at me. and said: No, sir Then he said: How much would you take for tt?' And thinking he wanted to bIy r. and throw it away 1 replied: Seve dollars
 As matter of fact, he could have had 1t for 10 cents, but fortu- nately l had the good judgment to put the price high, and he bought 1t, and Tor three years after that he wouldn't buy razor from anybody but me. and I never sold him one for less than five dollars
 Mark Twain was very proud of his hair and while he came to ma from three to four times a week TO have 1t cut, he never would allow more than the slightest bit of it to be cut off. It was just an excuse for him to have some one to talk to: he talked very little himself and he would ask me to tell him story; in other words, with the relaxation Of the barber's chair he wanted also to be entertained, he who was ai- ways the entertainer.
 He never mentioned his books; I don't think I ever in the years that l shaved him, ever heard him aIlude to any book he had ever written ex- eept Innocents Abroad and that only in connection with his wife, be- cause 1t was when he was writing that book that he met her and their courtship began and they were mar ried.
 An old Scotchman
 There was an old Scotchman by the name of McNeill who frequented the barber shop and billiard room who was tall. red faced, blond haired -tyricafly Scotch, whom Mark Twain would sit and listen to for hours, enjoying the Scotchman's droI humor and he'd buy the Scotchman just as many drinks as he wanted-just to get him to tell him a story.
 l recall how during the summer months. when Mark Twain would go up to Quarry Farm, the country home of his wife's sister, Mrs. Crane, he would send for me to shave him. He'd hire horse and buggy to take me to the farm, and one of his be- nevolent kindnesses was the install lation all along the cut offs in the roads leading to Quarry Farm of drinking fountains for the horses.

An Ol0 FTfen0
 Through my good friend, Gen. John Sparrow, I recently had the pleasure of meeting an old zaeauain. tance of the late Mark Twain, Charles L.. Neuer--who knew the great humorist in Elmira. N. Y., and served him as his barber for many years during his visits to relatives there.
 MT. Neuer has lived in Birming- ham for the past II years. q victim of "Wanderlust"--fate brought him here, but his mind reverts always to the good old days when Mark Twain was his patron and the many happy hours he spent in his company.
 There is an old tradition that a barber Is a good talker-and q con stant talker and reliable talker- and in his patronage of Mir. Neuer General Sparrow heard some good stories from the barber about Mark Twain and he has passed the subject on, which has offered me real genu- inc pleasure in the handling.
 How He Met Him
 When l was connected with the most prominent barber shop in El- mira. N. Y.-situated Just. across the street from the Rathbone hotel.
 
 Mark Twain,9 said MT. Neuer.
 T shall never forget how 1t hap pened. l Knew and numbered in my clientele Mark Twain's wife's rela- tives; her father. old Jarvis Lang den; her brother. Charles J. Lang don, and her sisters husband, T. W. Crane, who operated the Mcintyre Coal company; they were all friends of mine.
 "One day man came into the bar Der shop, unkempt looking, his whiskers abundant, gray and griz- zled a three-days' growth of beard growing all over his face, enough to scare the life out of anybody if you met him in the dark.
 "He wanted to be shaved. I pus him in the chair and lathered his face and looking over my freshly honed razors, I was afraid to tackle the job, so I got out an old razor, the kind we call a toad stabber, which l had not used for two or three years, and began to hone it for the job.
 There was hard spot in the old toad stabber' which made it a dan gerous weapon unless you took par ticular pains in honing it. but this l had done, and so I started my work
 Made Good Impression
 After l had shaved Mark Twain whom I didn't know from Adam $ house cat, and he had gone, the pro- prietor of the barber shop came up to me and said; Young man. do you know who that was you shaved? :? Telling him that l didn't, he said
