MARK TWAIN IN WASHINGTON
Good Stories Concerning Sojourn of
the Famous Humorist at Capital
Are Current Still.
When Murk Twain lived In Wash
ington the streets In the national cap
ital were in such a condition that an
Intoxicated philosopher aptly described
them by saying: "When it's dry
you can't see where you are going,
anil when It's wet you can't go."
Murk Twain remarked that the win
ter visitor would probably wonditr. If
there happened to be a thaw when he
came to town, why the city fathers
were so shortsighted as not to dllutt
the mud a little more and use the
streers for canals.
Another story told about Mark
Twain during Ids stay there which la
probably better known, had its be
ginning when the humorist called to
vee Crover Cleveland at the White
House. The President and Mrs. Cleve
land had invited Murk Twain and his
wife to dine with them, and the latter
was 111 and unable to go. Mark Twain
vent alone, apologized for the ab
sence of Mrs. Clemens, solemnly
handed Mrs. Cleveland a paper, and
asked her to sign It. In surprise sli»
Inquired what It was and why she
should sign It. Mark Twain turned
the paper over ami showed her a line
In Mr* Clemens' handwriting: "Pont
war your arctic* to the White House."
Mrs. Cleveland wrote underneath the
line: "He dli'n't."
While in Washington Mark Twain,
who for nearly two years was k
newspaper correspondent, having sat
In the press galleries of the senate
and the house, wrote two humorous
articles: "A I.ate Senatorial Secretary
sMp." and "Facts Concerning a Kecent
Resignation." Both of these articles
were written about his own experi
ences. as lie had been private secre
tary to Senator Stewart of N'evada. but
not finding his duties congi-nltd, he re
signed.
NO SECOND TIME FOR HIM
Retailer Will Have Things Properly
Fixed for the Next Customer
He Brings In.
"Tills Is a customer of mine." said a
mm !n a local wholesale Jewelry house
re» ently, us lie introduced his com
{■union to the proprietor. "I want tc
give him absolutely wholesale prices,
Strictly wholesale."
"All right," replied the wholesaler
to the retailer who was a regular cus
tomer of the house. "Whatever you
say Roes."
This is done sometimes. It Is said
but the usual custom Is that when
a retail Jeweler brings in a customer,
a | rotlt Is added to the wholesale price
and rhls goes to the retailer for his
services. The customer in this cast;
purchased several hundred dollars'
worth of goods.
In an hour the retailer, who had In
sisted on "absolutely wholesale" prices
for his customer, returned to the
wholesale house.
"What prolit did you get for me?"
he asked the wholesaler.
"None," was the reply. "You insisted
that the prices be strictly wholesale."
"Hut didn't 1 kick you under the
table?" nskeU the retailer. "You should
hav- gotten wise to that."
"You never kicked me," replied the
wholesaler. "You must have been kick
ing vour own customer wha sat next
to me."
"After this," was the reply, "the cus
tomer will sit on my side. Then there
will be no mistake."—Kansas City

cape from freezing to death whll<
011 a trip from Teller to Wales. Al
the head of Big Lagoon he ran intc
a blizzard and his dogs refused tc
face the storm. Taking a chain and
snapping it to his leader^, he wenl
ahead of his dogs, following the
trail stakes. Feeling the chair
slacken he faced about and found
thai the dogs had gotten away from
him. . At that lime he was about
three miles from Lost river, and
covered most of the distance on his
hands and knees, finally reaching r
cabin where he obtained shelter
Once out of the storm Killeen found
that he only had three matches, anc
fortunately was able to start a firt
with the first one struck and was
able to thaw out ard dry his clothes
The next morning, the storm havinc
abated, he started out to find hi:
dog team, which he discovered thre<
miles below Lost ri.'er. Killeen had
on canvas gloves, which got wet and
fro/.e his lingers badly.
