MARK TWAIN'S EARLY LIFE. A Sort of Mr. Hyde, While His Broth er Was Dr. Jekyl. From Mark Twain's Aut.hiozraphy in The North American Review. My mother had a good deal of trou. ble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. She had none at all with i brother. Henry, who was two yearl younger than I, and I think that th unbroken monotony of his goodness and truthfulness and obedience woulb have been a burden to her but for the relief and variety which I furnished in the other direction. I was a tonic I was valuable to her. I never though of it before, but now I see it. I neve1 knew Henry to do a vicious thing to ward me, or toward alny one else-bui he frequently did righteous ones tha cost me as heavily. It was his Jut: to report me, when I needed report ing and neglected to do it myself, an< he was very faithful in dischargini that duty. He is ''Sid'' in ''Ton Sawyer." But Sid was not Henry Henry was a very much finer an better boy than ever Sid was. It was Henry who called my moth er's attention to the fact that thi thread with which she had sewed mn; collar together to keep me from goin; in swimming had changed color. M: mother would not have discovered t but for that, and she was mnanifesti: piqued wihen she recognized that tha prominent bit of circumstantial evh deuce had e'scaped hecr sharp eye That detail probably added a detail t my punishment. It is human. W' generally visit our sho'rteoings 0' somebody else when there is a possi ble excuse for it-but no matter. took it out of Henry. There is aiway compensation for such as are unjusti; used. I often took it out of him sometimes as an advance payment fo: sometthing which he hadn't yet done These were ocasions when the oippor lunity was tooe strong a temptation and I had to draw on the future. did not need to copy this idea fron my mother, and probably did 'nt Still, she wrought upon that principle upon occ.asion. If the incident of the broken sugal bowl is in "Tom Sawyer"-J don'i remember whether it is or not-that is an example of it. Henry never stole sugar. He toolk it openly from the bow). His mrother knew he wouldn't ' aC su:ar when s.he wasn't loo'king, ~ ~~bst~ be ad her doubts a'bout me. Not ~ 4 bis, either. She knew very .One day when she wasn not present. Henry took sugar front her prised and precious old Tnglishli sngar bowl. which was an heirloom in the family--and he managed to break the bowl. It was the first time I had ever had a chance to tell any thing on him, and I was inexpressibly glad. 1 told him I was going to tell onl him but he was not isturbed. Wheu mry mot.her camne in and saw the bowl lying on the floor in fragments,. she mother came in and saw the bowl ly ing on the floor in fragments, she was speechless for a minute. I allow ed that silence to work; I jndged it would increase the effect. I was wait ing for her to ask: "'Who did that T" -so that I could fetch out my new4. But it was an error of calculation. When she got through with her sil enee she didn't ask anything about ith-she merely gave me a crack on t.he skill with he.r thimble that I felt all the day down to my heels. Then I broke out wi:h my inunred inno cenee. expecting to make her very smy T that she had punished the wrong one. I expected her to do something remorseful and patheti.. I told her that 1 was not the one-it was Henry. But fher was no npheaval. She said. wiLhou: emotior. --t's all right. It isn 'l ar.y miIer. You teserve it for something yo,'ve done that I didn't i' v nhl'.nt :and if you havn 't done W).. wh .hIrn you deserve it for some i,ng that you are going to do, that I shar.'t hear about." In those days men and boys wore rather long cloaks in the winter time. They were black, and were lined with very bright and showy Scotch plaids. One winter's night when I was start ing to church to square a crime of some kind committed during the week, I hid my cloak near the gate and went off and played with the other boys until church was over. Then I return ed home. But in the dark I put ie cloak on wronz side out. entered fhe roilm. threw the eloak asid. and 0. n st,od the usual examitnt n.

There was a Jere Clemens who was a United 'States senator, and in his day etnjoyed the usual senatorial fame -a fame which perishes whether It spring's frotm four years' service or forty. After Jere Clemens' fame as a senator passed away, he w~as still remembered for many y'ears on aec count of another service which he per formed. He shot old John Brown's 'A *1 1l This man out acquaintir of SCHNAPP qualities that less expense tl SamuAPS s b.. paper so that every ch Qpportunity to get acq1 facts and know that di to produce the cheedi the famous Piedmont c tobarras, and that 8CHE~ ought to chew.

I don't think it is important. 1 think that ie only thing that is really i-nh portant is that one of them got shot in the hind leg. It would have beet better and nobler and more historical and satisfactory if both of them had got shot in the hind leg-but it is of no use for me to try to recollect his tory. I never had a historical mind. Let it go. Whichever way it happened I am glad of it. and that is as much enthusiasm as I can get up for a per son bearing my name. But I am for getting the first Clemen-the one that stands furthest back toward the really original first Clemens-which was Adam. The Jamestown Exposition and Erin. "The chosen leaf of bard and chief Old Erin's native Shamrock." This dear little plant around which cluster the memories and the hopes of a valiant race will contribute its aid to the interest that will center in the .amestown Ter-Centennial Ex position. The late Patriefi Sarsfield Gilmore was wont to boast that the best proof that the race to which he belonged was a musical people is to be found in the fact that the harp, that most ex quisite of stringed instrunWnts. was their emblem. The genial handmas ter might have pressed his argument further by claiming for them a dis creet taste in Botany. But the Shamrock, like the sons and daughters of Erin, has taken root in other soil than that to which it was indigenous. On the 20th of October of the present Year a gemIeman of Norfolk. on the wa1y to hi, place of business. espied a spout f Erin's plant -0rowing, l he f.w k. le It T who rote a beutitl po m o t '.'I 1 C ' I ' at the head tf hii artiele is taken, was [he m1 who plantd thie seed?

When these visits were made the fate of his friends, Lord Edward Fitz gerald and Robert Emmet was keenly fresh in his memory. He subsequent ly immortalized both these heroes, the one in poesy, the other in -biography.

C The boy sat cuddled so closely to the woman in gray that everybody, was sure he belonged to her, so when j he unconsciously dug his muddy shoes into broadcloth skirt of his left hand neighbor she leaned over and said: "Pardon me, madam, will you kind- r ly make your little boy square him- ] self around? He is soiling my skirt with his muddy shoes." The woman in gray blushed a lit tle and nudged the boy away. "My goodness," she added, "he isn't mine. The boy squirmed uneasily. He was such a little fellow that he could not begin to touch his feet to the floor, so he stuck them straight in front of him like pegs to hang tbings on. and looked at them deprecatingly. "I'm sorry,'' he whispered to the woman in gray. "I hope it will brush off.'" The timidity of his voice took a short cut to the woman's heart, and she miled upon him kindly. 'Are you going up town alone?" she asked. "Yes. ma'am." lie said. "I always to alone. Father is dead and moth ei is dead.
