Mark Twain. "But." objected Mr. Wil
son, "we don't know where ho Is." for
it was at a time when Mr. Clemens
was away traveling somewhere. "Oh,"
said Professor Matthews, "that does
not make any difference. It is sure to
find him. I think he Is some place in
Surope, so we had better put on n
live cent Htninp." So tin two sat down
mid composed a letter, which they ad
dressed to "Mark Twain. (Jod Knows
Where."
Within three wookh they received a
reply from Sir. Clemens which said
briefly. "He did." The letter hnd been
sent by the New York postofllcc to

WlmliiH of London, thence to a bunk

analyzed. As my consignment Includ
ed two kinds of wluo a double analysis
was necessary, and for this I paid a
fee of $0.24. As the end of n week I
received first a certificate attesting that
my wine was pure and, second, tho
case in which the bottles wero sent.
wns nlso Informed that two bottles
had been required to form the basis of
each analysis and that consequently
there was no wine left. I am natural
ly grateful to the state for tho precau
tious taken to guard my health, but I
cannot help thinking I am entitled to
tho empty bottles. Surely theso wero
not also analyzed."
