Twains Emancipation
An honorary degree was once con
ferred on Mark Twain by a humble In
stitution in a Missouri town that had
known him when he was playing Tom
Sawyer there in real life
It happened that the degree confer
ring cermonies took place one lazy day
In June when newspapers generally
were suffering from a total collapse of
everything In the way of news
One New York news editor raked
the land with a figurative fine tooth
comb and got a dry haul for his pains
Then recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day it occurred to him that a message
direct from the famous author might
relieve the situation in the news Aft
er much scratching of the editorial
I idea factory he evolved this query
1 which was transmitted to Mark Twain
by wire
How docs it feel to be a doctor of laws
Plcase wire answer at our expense
After a wait of several hours thin
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri
It feels like emancipation from ignorance
and vice MARK TWAIN
Riding a Camel In the Desert
Dr Nachtigal the celebrated African
explorer was the guest of a rich Ham
burg merchant The merchants sou a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back of a camel He
thought such a ride must be very poet
ical Indeed
My dear young friend replied the
explorer I can tell you how you can
get a partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa is like
Take an oflice stool screw it up as
high as possible and put it in a wagon
without any springs Then seat your
self on the stool and have it driven
over rocky and uneven ground during
the hottest weather of July or August
and after you have not had anything
to eat or drink for twenty four hours
and then you will get a faint idea of
how delightfully poetic it is to ride on
a camel in the wilds of Africa
He Gave Her a Present
When I was a young inun Lady Jer
sey was one of the leaders of fashion
and her house was the resort of poli
ticians and others With her lived her
daughter Lady Clementine Villiers a
handsome and clever girl The custom
had been established that all friends
should give the latter a present on her
birthday and these presents were set
out in an antechamber Among tjlese
friends was Lord Brougham then an
old man He called on a birthday but
had forgotten what the occasion was
and had brought no present Seeing a
mass of presents laid out he seized one
of them and took it in as his present
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was ono
that already had been given to her
And very proud he was of his pres
ence of mind But then he was an
ex lord chancellor London Truth
Many Languages of Mexico
During the fiesta of Christmas or the
week of All Souls and All Saints when
the Indians swarm down from the
mountains with their holiday wares
for sale visitors in the City of Mexico
may notice the strange language that
the venders use in addressing each
other Even when they turn to serve
the purchaser their Spanish is neither
Castilian nor Mexican but is frequent
ly broken by peculiar syllables and
accents This is merely an illustra
tion of the fact that the Indian lan
guages of old Mexico have not been
entirely submerged by the conquering
Spanish and in some of the most re
mote districts of the republic various
and distinct languages handed down
from the pre Columbian era are still
spoken in their pristine purity by many
tribe members Mexican Herald
Easy House Moving
House moving is an easy task among
the Lakas a tribe living near the La
goue river in the French Kongo Af
rica This tribe which is one of the
most superb examples of the savage
black race lives in conical shaped huts
constructed of plaits of tough straw
When a change in location is desired
both the women and the men put their
shoulders to the task and carry the
roofs of their homes to the new site
sometimes many miles distant The
circular walls of the huts are rebuilt
Who Whips
The clergymans little sou was tell-
the small son of a parishioner of
the dreadful fights which he and his
sister indulged in
You dont mean to say that minis
ters children fight replied the horri
fied little layman
Oh yes
