Mr. Twain was late to tho dinner table when we sat down, and before he appeared wo had invented a clov er -trap. "He was still several courses be hind when the rest of us were rendy for salad, but every one stopped eat ing until Mr. Twain caught up. He had started intently on n crisp leaf of lettuce before ho noticed that no one elso was eating. Ho paused questioningly. That wan our oppor tunity. ?" 'Now, Mr. Twain,' some one asked, 'why are you like Nebuchad nezzar?' expecting that the answer would imply that it was because he was eating grass like an ox.
