THE WINDER NEWS EXPERIENCE IN THE WEST I had a hankering to hear Mark Twain. Seeing in the paper where he had a date to lecture in the city about fifty miles from one of the western towns in which I was then living, I made up my mind at once to go and hear him. The lecture was about two weeks off. One Mr. Banks who lived in the city was a close friend of mine and a pious man and the only reason why he did not have his children under good control, was that he never had any. I had a .standing invitation to come to his home at any time. I said to my wife: “Now Ls my time to visit my friend and hear Mark Twain lec ture.” I wrote him I would Ite there on the date of the lecture and we would fake supper at his house and then go to the auditorium for the lec ture. Fie wrote me to come and he would he prepared for supper, stating that he would put in an order for a coop of fries, a quarter of beef with onions for hash, a crate of cheese, a boiled ham, six dozen eggs, four pounls of butter from the dairy, with tomatoes, pickles, sauce, coffee, tea. ice cream in reasonable amount., stating that he supposed I would bo in reasonable good health and bring with me my usual ap petite which I seldom left when away j from home. I assured him that this preparation was sufficient without go ing to any further trouble and urged that his good wife make no extras. On the morning on which I was to start in the afternoon, I was up early, jl never slept much the night before. But that morning! Oh, if I could just I blot out that one deed ! That morning i just, before day. There my wife slept j soundly. That was when the deed was j done. Oh! the horror! the crime, the I memory ! There as I looked her in tne face sound asleep. Oh. for the power Jof forgetting! There it was'jhst be fore day I approached her and broke her—nap. I called at once for my clean shirt and Sunday coat and pants. I had taken a shave and a hath the day be fore. I told her to look after the old mare, which was our buggy horse, until I got back. The train was due about 2:00 o'clock, but owing to a little wreck it did not arrive until about 5:30. On entering the train I sat down by a man on a seat to himself, seeming to me that all other seats were full, and I pretty soon discovered that this fellow was full, hut not so as to paralyze his tongue, for I never saw a man with a greater flow of words, nor any one that seemed to bo gladder to sec' me, though he bad never seen me before. He asked me a lot of courteous questions, whether I, was related to Buffalo Bill, as he saw a close resemblance between us. Wheth er I was married or single, what I call ed my oldest boy. and whether I would need any more money before I returned home, stating that he was broke hut would get plenty of money next day, and that he needed lust enough for simper and a lied and that he would hunt me un npd return it next day. On arriving in the city I saw T would not l>y> able to see my friend un til after the lecture as it. was then late and I would have to rush to get to the auditorium. He kindlv agreed to ao companv me so I could not miss my way. I was now more anxious to miss my company than I was to hit the lec ture. Everv few minuter* ho would remind me that I was very fortunate to have such a one with me who was ao quaited with big cities and to insure me against hold-ups and cut-throats, stating that the city was full of them, and that the street on which we were traveling a man had been held up and received such a fright that every hair In his head turned black in a single night and that he had never been hoard toll of before nor since, tint assuring me that I was perfeetlv safe, having a man with me that had on different oo sions run ns nianv as three men. Here he happened to stumble noon the truth, for he was the man in front. When I got to the auditorium I made sure my friend would be there. The speaker was up speaking, t moved on up pretty close to the front. I was surprised to see as much room. I got up in front of the speaker. As I walk ed in every neck was craned toward me and every eye fixed on me*. I sat down bv an old. stern rich-looking man. If it lmd been in New York I would have taken him to have heen John I). Rock efeller. The supreme thought of hear ing the great humorist, Mark Twain, who had made millions laugh whether they wanted to or not removed every other thought from me. By the time T was well settled in my seat T w as un consciously laughing out pretty loud T suppose. I know the humorist never uttered a sentence that did not have a laugh in it. Whan I would have to laugh or bust. T noticed no one else was laughing. This again surprised me to <*>< how thev could take it so calm When I would laugh pretty loud and almost roll off my seat all eyes would he turned toward me and this old rich looking dignitary would look at mo a' if he wanted to run a one-prong pitch fork in me. When the lecture was over T saw mv friend was not there and I started at once to his home. On reaching his home I rang the door bell, his wife came walking very quietly to the door and said. “Come in. Husband is ver' low and the Dr. has just left. I don’t think you had hotter see him tonight.” After talkipo a few minutes she said : ‘Husband win i>n so glad to know you’re here. I think if you will come in very quiet, you might sneak to him.” W< walked yerv quiet into the room wher r he was lr-’ne His wife said. “Mr has eome ” T stood stooped over 111 hod and ho ononod his oyos and lookod me in the fne and asked mo when T on mo. T told him. TTe askod me wher' T had boon. I told him. I said. “ T am very sorrv von conld not ho tlior' at the lootnro.” TTo said. “Was i* cood‘ > " T *-nhl. “Man von never hoar-' anvthinv in votir life if yon neve*- noard ACnrk Twain lectnre. It was the funniest thine I ever heard. 1 have insrt lanehted mvself sore" I tioed him Neeinnine to smother an-’ choke and to atmeele for breath. W< stood very quiet and in a few minutes he seemed to recover himself. He then said, “Were there many there?” I said “no,” very few; but my lands, what they did miss. He then had another sinking spell and choked and struggled for more breath and seemed that he was not going tA recover. He would take repeated spells. He would seem to be getting quiet and then it would come on him again. This kept up for some time. Finally when he did reeov er. he said to me: “Friend, that was Good Food Wise people always buy the best food pro ducts they can find. Good food means health and strength, and success.
