NEW STORY BY MARX TWAIN
Harpers Have 1t but it Will Not Be
Published for TWO Hun
dred Years.

A great treat is in store for the low
ers of books who are on earth two
hundred years from now They will
have a fresh story written by Mark
Twain. Persons living nowadays never
wiki know what the master wrote in
this story, for it is sealed and is not to
be read or published until two cen
turtles have elapsed.
The Harpers, who are moving their
printing house from Franklin street to
their new building uptown, possess the
precious manuscript. In moving desks
around in their old quarters the other
day they found one with a secert
drawer. When this was opened a
sealed package was found in it, and a
not written on it said. it contained a
story or article by Mark Twain and
was not to be opened or published for
two hundred years.
That is all that is known about il.
The package is in possession of the
Harpers, who will doubtless carry out
the writer's intentions. It will remain
unopened until well into the Twenty
second century. Then the citizens of
this world viii have something good to
read.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
