AMUEL LAXGnORXE CLEM
ENS better known as Mark
Twain and generally regarded
as the dean of American humor
ists will be seventy years of age on
the 30th of November lie was born
in Florida Mo In 1835 It is an old
belief that there is nothing like laugh
ing to keep a man young and the
friends of Mr Clemens have some
times congratulated him on the facto1
that Joke making has not apparently
been to hlra a wearing occupation It
has been suggested that what age he
shows has come perhaps from the ef
forts of the humorist to be serious
Mr Clemens never graduated from
a college but Yale has made him a
doctor of literature and the University
of Missouri has conferred upon him
the degree of doctor of laws The hu
morist has said that these degrees
greatly increased his respect for-himself
Mr Clemens has been in numerous
occupations lie has been printer pi
lot on Mississippi river steamers sol
dier of the south for three weeks
only private secretary miner editor
publisher humorist and historian In
al l except the last two he fell short of
brilliant success
In 1870 at Elmira N Yf Mr Clemens
married Miss Olivia L Langdou She
died not long ago Some years since
the humorist was a guest at a dinner
in Buffalo where he once edited a
newspaper and he told a story of his
experiences in connection with his
wedding journey I notice many
changes since I was a citizen of Buf
falo said Mr Clemens I miss the
faces of many old friends -They have
gone to tho tomb to the gallows to
the White Ilouse Thus far the rest of
us have escaped but be sure our own
turn is coming I remember one cir
cumstance of bjgone times with great
vividness I arrived here after dark on
a February evening in 1S70 with my
wife and a large company of friends
when I had been a husband twenty
four hours and they put us two in a
covered sleigh and drove us up and
down and every which way through
all the back streets in Buffalo until at
last I got ashamed and said I asked
Mr Slee to get me a cheap boarding
JIABK TWAIN
house but I didnt mean that he should
stretch economy to the going outside
the state to find It The fact was there
was a practical joke to the fore which
I didnt know anything about and all
this fooling around was to give it time
to mature My father-in-law the late
Jervis Laugdon whom manj of you
will remember had been clandestinely
spending a fair fortune upon a house
and furniture In Delaware avenue for
us and had kept his secret so well that
I was the only person this side of Ni
agara Falls that hadnt found it out
We reached the house at last about 10
oclock and were introduced to a Mrs
Johnson the ostensible landlady 1
took a glance around and my opinion
of Sir Slees judgment as a provider of
cheap boarding houses for men who
had to work for their living dropped to
zero I told Mrs Johnson there had
been an unfortunate mistake Mr Slee
had evidently supposed I had money
whereas I only had talent and so by
her leave we would abide with her a
week and then she could keep my
trunk and we would hunt another
place Then the battalion of ambushed
friends and relatives burst in on us
out of closets and from behind cur
tains the property was delivered over
to us and the joke revealed accom
panied with much hilarity Such jokes
as these are all too scarce in a persons
life That was a really admirable joke
for that house was so completely equip
ped in every detail even to house serv
ants and coachman that there was
nothing to do but just sit down and
live in it Well the house isnt ours
now but weve got the coachman yet
A friend wrote the humorist ask
ing his opinion on a certain matter
and received no reply He waited a
few days and wrote again His sec
ond letter was also ignored Then he
sent a third note inclosing a sheet of
paper and a two cent stamp
By return mail he received a postal
card on which was the following
Paper and stamp received Please
send envelope
There are only thirty five jokes
the humorist once declared You may
set that down as a first principle All
others are variations Only thirty five
jokes exist Perhaps some American
will discover the thirty sixth But there
are more than thirty five ways of be
ing funny and sometimes a person Is
funniest when trying to tell the truth
