ft MARK TWAIN STORY
Showing What Ma, Be Achieved
by Nerve and Reiteration.
A LESSON IN PERSEVERANCE.
Going to Prove That Repetition Will
Work Wonders if a Man Has Only
the Necessary Amount of Cheek to
Stand Up and Keep on Talking.
Mark Twain once told I reporter
that If a man says the same thing of?
ten enough people will begin to listen
to him.
"Now," said the great humorist,
"thno was that story about Ha ik
Monk. That was the oldest, stalest,
driest, deadest bit of alleged humor
that any man ever heard. It had be nj
circulated around Nevada and Call
fornia until there wasn't a tuau left
who would even listen to it. I had
heard it so many times that I knew it
by heart. It told how Hank Monk got
Horace Greeley over the Glennbruok
grade to riacerville.
"I was about to deliver my second
lecture at Platt's hall In San Fran?
cisco?the secoud oue I had ever de?
livered. It occurred to me that 1
might begin that lecture with the
worst story I had ever heard and by
telling It oftcu enough start the lec?
ture with a big laugh. I took that
story and memorized it so that it
would not vary iu the telling, and 1
made It just as pointless and just as
dull and just as dry as I could.
"When it came time for me to talk
I stood up and with a few Introduc?
tory remarks began that story. If I
remember it weut something like this:
?* 'Horace Greeley once went over
the Glennbrook grade to riacerville.
When he was leaving Carson City he
told the driver, Hank Mouk, that he
had an engagement, to lecture at
Placervllle and was very anxious to
go through quick. Hank Monk crack?
ed his whip and started off at an aw?
ful pace. The stage bounced up and
down in such a terrific way that it
jolted the buttons all off Horace's coat
and finally shot his head clean through
the roof of the stage, and then he yell?
ed to Hank Monk and begged him to
go easier?said he warn't in as much
of a hurry as he had been awhile
ago. But Hank Monk said, "Keep
your seat. Horace, and I'll get you
there on timer' And he did. too?what
was left of him.'
"Now, that was all there was to the
story. It was bad enough to begin
with, but I made it worse in the tell?
ing. I droned it out in a flat, monoto?
nous tone, without a gesture to mar its
depressing effect The people received
It in dead silence. I had insulted every'
man in the audience? I had 'graveled'
them with a story that was not only
stale and pointless, but one which they
had heard at least a thousand times.
I waited a few seconds for the laugh?
ter, and then I began to hem and haw
and shift my feet. I tried to appear
Just as embarrassed as I could, and
after floundering about helplessly for a
few sentences I cheered up a little and
said that I would tell a funny anec?
dote which might be new to them. It
began:
* 'Horace Greeley went over the
Glennbrook grade to Placervllle'?
"I told it in exactly the same roller
able, pointless way that I had told It
before, and when I got through I wait?
ed a longer time for the apmauso, but
there wasn't any applause. I could see
that several men in the house wen?
growing quite indignant. They had
paid money to hear a humorous lec?
ture. I t-M.k a long breath and plunged
in a third time, more embarrassed and
t?te led and worried than ever, and
by and by I worked ^ound again to
the time when Horace Greelev went
over Glean brook grade to Placervllle,
"This time some of the smarter ones
began to laugh, and this encouraged
mo so much that I thanked them and
started right In to tell the story over
again, never varying the delivery so
?Ojeh as a pause to take breath. The
fourth time fetched 'em, and at the
end of the story they stood up and
whooped and yelled And cheered for
some time.
"Tosj see. I thought that If a man
had sand enough to stand up before an
audit nee and tell the oldest, stalest
and most uninteresting story in the
World he could make people laugh if
he had the ra-rve to tell the story often
enough, The rest of my lecture went
very well. They were willing to laugh
at my anecdotes the flrsl time 1 told
them. Maybe they were afraid i would
tell then a s? cond time.

BALLINGER DENOUNCED.
DEPOSED POIIESTEH TESTIFIES
IN Till?: HEAU1NG.
Secretary of ilic Interior Accused of
Making Pulse Statements to Mr.
Tall and of I icing Disloyal to tin4
President and to tlie People In his
Present Position?Hearing Room
Packed.
Washing! in, Feb. ?With GHf
ford Plnchot on the witness stand the
Balllnger-Pincho! Inquiry entered its
cond phase today. The dismissed
chief of the forest service, before
being sworn, dramatically declared
that when his atory had been told,
the country would demand a verdict
"in harmony with the general convic?
tion that the Secretary Of the Interior
has been unfaithful both to the public,
whose propi rty he has endangered,
and to the President, whom he has
deceived."
1.. K. Glavls, the Cunningham coal
claims, Attorm y Brandeis, all stood
aside to mal e rom for Mr. Plnchot,
for Attorney Qeorge Wharton Pepper,
his person ? ounsel, and the story of
Secretary Bellinger's dealings with
the water power sites of the public
domain.
Mr. Plnchot accused Secretary Bel?
linger of having made an explanation
of Iiis conduct to the President that
was "essentially false." He charged
him with being a dangerous enemy to
conservation." He charged him with
having made a statement shown by
undisputed documentary evidence, "to
be absolutely false in three essential
particulars." He charged him with
having "willfully deceived the Presi?
dent," and of being disloyal to the
President.
Mr. Plnehot's first hour on the wit?
ness stand was as replete with sen?
sations as had been promised and the
suffocating crowd in the hearing room
hung intently upon every word that
fell from his lips. A trifle nervous at
first, Mr. Pinchot soon became accus?
tomed to his surroundings and main?
tained a confident pose thereafter.
His recital had not progressed very
far, however, when there came an ob?
jection from Mr. Bellinger's attorney
as to the witness r< pea ting conversa?
tions had with Pres.dont Taft. It was
contended that the relation of these
conversations would put the Presi?
dent in an attitude where he would
either have to remain silent or else
appear before the committee as a
witness, which it was declared would
be undesirable.
The question was argued for some
time and during the course of bis
statement of the matter, the attorney
for Mr. Pinchot admitted that Presi?
dent Taft, in a letter written subse?
quent to the conversation had de?
clared that his recollection of what
transpired at the Interview differed
In some particulars from that of Mr.
Pinchot. The matter was put over
for consideration by the committee in
i \ -entice session, and it is expected
that a decision will be announced
when the next session Is held on
Tuesday morning.
Mr. Plnchot followed up the vigor?
ous attack made upon Secretary Bel?
linger In his opening statement by an?
nouncing that he fully believed In
Speoial Agent Glavls and was con?
vinced that all Glavls had said was
true. Tie characterised Glavls as a
"faithful public servant," and de?
clared that tin tacts which he pre
icnted "proved that Mr. Baliinger
had heen unfaithful to his trust, as
the guardian of public property of
enormous value."

OPPOSE FREE SHIPS.
Maine Congressmen Advocate si ip
Subsidy Km Arc Fighting Free Shin
Provision.
>'ew 'Orleans. La. Feb. 28.?It was
explained ni some length during the
recent Gulf Mates Merchant Marine
Convention at Xew Orleans that the
free ship provision had been Included
in tin- Humphrey Merchant Marine
Hill now pending in Congress at the
request of the Southern states, and
that Southern Congressmen would
have to bestir themselves it the free
ship ami ndment is to remain in the
'?Iii when it goes through the House.
How true this is. is shown by the fol?
lowing editorial published in theXew
Yoj-U Commercial of February 23:
"Although the house committee on
merchant marine ami fisheries had
just presented to the lower chamber
a favorable report on the Humphrey
shipping-aid-bill? a measure that has
been "o. k. ed" by President Taft?it
should be kept in mind that the re?
port was agreed upon some time ago
only after a most spirited contest over
it in committee .and that the opposing
committeemen are not all Democrats;
in fact. Congressman Swasey of Maine,
r? presenting the most important ship?
building district in the country, will
oppose the bill so long as the "free
ships," provision remains in it. and
the entire Maine delegation in the
house and senate is solidly against it
for the same reason; a shippings id
bill opposed by the Main law-maker
is something of a novel spectacle.
"This legislation," says the committee
report in part, "will if enacted give
to the United States the very best
ocean-mail and fast-freight service in
American ships to South America in.
stead of the present worse service in
foreign ships. It will defeat the effort
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance to
drive the American merchant flag oft
the Pacific Ocean. The compensation
given under the conditions of this bill
is emphatically not a 'subsidy' but
actual pay for important public ser?
vice rendered." The operation of the
measure as law would unquestionably
lead in time to the results named; so
it is hard to understand why the fra
mers of the bill and sponsors insist
on keeping in it a "free-ships" provi?
sion, for this only injures, and very
seriously, too, the chances of its pas?
sage. It is superfluous also and quite
uncalled for, for the committee to ex?
plain that the mileage rates proposed
to be paid by the government for
ocean-mail carrying are not a "sub?
sidy," they are not, of course?but the
law-makers and the public will in?
sist on calling the measure a "ship
subsidy" bill so long as its aim is to
build up the American merchant ma?
rine through any agency of the gov?
ernment. This attempted explanation
Is in the nature of a confession that the
word "subsidy" is a good deal of a
"red rag" with our Federal law?
makers."
CHINA'S GREAT WALL
It Would Be a Mighty Task to Dupli?
cate It Today.
What man has done, we are told,
man can do. But to erect today a
great fortification comparable to the
Great wall of China would be a heavy
tax on both the resources and the res?
olution of Europe. A score or two of
warships are all very well, but the
cost of labor and the will Involved In
building fleets can hardly bo compared
to those devoted to the building of
that great barrier about two centuries
before the coming of Christ, when
Rome was struggling with Hannibal.
Two thousand live hundred and fifty
miles. Including spurs, arms and loops,
is the length ascribed to It by Dr. W
E. Geil, the only white man. we be?
lieve, who his traveled the erhole
length of it. It lias been said thai the
Great wall is the only object of n an's
handiwork which could be c1i!<cerned
from the moon, and one ell'filiation has
it that if the material ? ? Hie wall were
disposed about the gin he at the equa?
tor there would be a \ ill :llV le ci rut
foot high nnd three re , thick around
the earth.
One can believe that to this day the
name of the Emperor Chin is erased
all along the wall by the . neterlty of
the wretches who were forced to the
gigantic task Of building it. In the
days of its greatest Importance, when
it was still holding back the Tartar
hordes, it is believed to have bad on
its lino 20.000 towers, each capable of
holding 100 men, and 15,000 watch
towers. Even todny t here remains 20,
(hm> towers and 10.(XMJ U'rttchtowers,
with some 2,000 miles i f wall that
could, with moderate repairing, ho
made into a formidable military work.

TAWNEY DE< I-Ali Alls NAVAL
PROGRAMME IS \ PLOT BY
SHIPPERS.
Chairman uf die Appropriations Com
mi* too Can Sc? So I lea son for Vast
Expenditures at This Time?Moans
Bankruptcy to the Government.
Washington, Feb. 87.?In s caustic
statement tonight Representative Jas.
A. Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman
of the house committee on appropria?
tions, announces his complete opposi?
tion to the government's naval pro.
gramme, as it was outlined yesterday
to the committee by Secretary Meyer.
y.r. Tawney fores<os bankruptcy of
the government If such programmes
are adhered to, and he charges their
agitation to a conspiracy of the ship?
building Interests of the United States.
"Those Interests," he said, "are even
now getting ready to start another
war scare. Japanese. Cerman or other?
wise with a view to stimulating popu?
lar favor for an extravagant outlay
for the navy.*'
The "competitive shipbuilding
scheme" which Mr. Tawney says, is
sought by Secretary Meyer, in his
opinion, is fraught with danger, and
the outlay necessary will compel the
levying of greatly inereased taxes or
render necessary a bond issue If the
treasury is not to be drained.
"I have heard of the govrnmeni's
tentative naval programme with pro?
found astonishment," said Mr. Taw?
ney In his statement. "One reason for
my surprise at the more than ambiti?
ous naval programme which is sug?
gested is the fact that it involves a
great increase in our now enormously
large appropriations for naval pur?
poses, without basing it on any neces?
sity whatever as a means of national
defense and also without regard what?
ever to the fact that in this fiscal year
we are facing a deficit and that next
fiscal year we will be near our aggre?
gate revenues in the amount appro?
priated this session.
"In view of our geographical isola?
tion, which as a means of national
defense Is worth more to us than the
largest navy any nation in the world
possesses, and also in view of the fact
that in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1009, we expended 71 per cent, of our
government revenues on account of
wars we have had, and wars we are
preparing for, it is rather amazing
to find a naval programme proposed
that v freatl Increase Avr ap?
propriate-re ? . d. this h WV are
at pe; >. ? all the world. There
Is not even <? prospect of our becom?
ing Invo .? I '? y ?? ar with i foreii n na?
tion. It seems almost increaioie
that any one would suggest the adop?
tion of a naval programme which will
involve the expenditure of more
money than we have under existing
revenue laws and a policy, too, which
will virtually put out of commission
at least half of our war vessels by
making them inferior in size and
efficiency by comparison with those
giant battleships now proposed."
The laws of Norway regulating
the relations between servant and
family would have a particularly
Atting application here in Washing?
ton, where the servant question is
one of the bugbears of all house?
keepers. For instance, under the
law of Norway, it is almost unknown
for a dissatisfied or disgruntled ser?
vant to leave her position without
permission. The reason for this lies
in the fact that In cases where she
does make this move the servant is
liable to arrest. imprisonment, and
fine. Naturally. therefore, such
? a; es are rare. But on the other
band, the servant has the protection
of the law from urjust treatment at
the hands of her employer, for it is
not allowed for a family to discharge
hi u: f-ettsfactorv sfrvmt wP*.?ou*

of a magistrate. The wages paid
domestics In Norway are warranted
to make an American housewife

maids and kitchen maids rece've even
less than this.
