LITTLE HOMER’S SLATE.
After dear old grandma died,
Hunting through an oaken chest
In the attic, we espied
What repaid our childish quest;
’Twas a homely little slate,
Seemingly of ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture of a cart,
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which betokens childish art.
But what meant this legend, pray,
“Homer drew this yesterday.”
Mother recollected then
What the years were fain to hide —
She was but a baby when
Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through these years
Grandma kept from all apart,
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart;
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate
Grandma’s baby’s fingers pressed,
To a memory consecrate,
Lieth in an oaken chest,
Where, unwilling we should know,
Grandma put it years ago.
—Eugene Field.
MARK TWAIN’S STOGIES.
Well that night at the club —the
Hartford Monday Evening Club —
meeting, as I was saying, George, our
colored butler, came to me when the
supper was nearly over, and I no
ticed that he was pale. Normally
his complexion was a clear black, and
very handsome, but now it had modi
fied to old amber. He said:
“Mr. Clemens, what are we going to
do? There is not a cigar in the house
but those old Wheeling long nines.
Can’t nobody smoke them but you.
They kill at thirty yards. It is too
late to telephone—we couldn’t get any
cigars out from town —what can we
do? Ain’t it best to say nothing, and
let on that we didn’t think?”
“No,” I said, “that would not be
honest. Fetch out the long nines” —
which he did.
I had just come across those “long
nines” a few days or a week before.
I hadn’t seen a long nine for years.
When I was a cub pilot on the Mis
sissippi in the late ’sos, I had a great
affection for them, because they were
not only—to my mind —perfect, but
you could get a basketful of them for
a cent —or a dime —they didn’t use
cents out there in those days. So
when 1 saw them advertised in Hart
ford I sent for a thousand at once.
They came out to me in badly bat
tered and disreputable-looking old
square pasteboard boxes, 200 in a
box. George brought a box which was
caved in on all sides, looking the
worst it could, and began to pass them
around. The conversation had been
brilliantly animated up to that mo
ment—but now a frost fell upon the
company. That is to say, not all of
a sudden, but the frost fell upon each
man as he took up a cigar and held
it poised in the air—and there, in the
middle, his sentence broke off. That
kind of thing went on all around the
table, until when George had com
pleted his crime the whole place was
full of a thick solemnity and silence.
Those men began to light the cigars.
Rev. Dr. Parker was the first man to
light. He took three or four heroic
whiffs —then gave it up. He got up
with the remark that he had to go
to the bedside of a sick parishioner.
He started out. Rev. Dr. Burton was
the next man. He took only one
whiff, and followed Parker. He fur
nished a pretext, and you could see
The Golden Age for
May 9, 1907.
by the sound of his voice that he
didn’t think much of the pretext, and
was vexed with Parker for getting in
ahead with a fictitious ailing client.
Rev. Mr. Twitchell followed, and said
he had to go now because he must
take the midnight train for Boston.
Boston was the first place that oc
curred to him, I suppose.
It was only a quarter to eleven
when they began to distribute pre
texts. At ten minutes to eleven all
those people were out of the house.
When nobody was left but George
and me I was cheerful —I had no com
punctions of conscience, no griefs of
any kind. But George was beyond
speech, because he held the honor
and credit of the family above his
own, and he was ashamed that this
smirch had been put upon it. I told
him to go to bed and try to sleep it
off. I went to bed myself. At break
fast in the morning, when George was
passing a cup of coffee, I saw it trem-

that there was something on his mind.
He brought the cup to me and asked
impressively:
“Mr. Clemens, how far is it from
the front door to the upper gate?”
I said, “It is a hundred and twenty
five steps.”
He said, “Mr. Clemens, you can start
at the front door and you can go

on one of them cigars every time.”
