of the human race this remarkable ma
chine Is fraught! Ami yet to many It
might prove a blessing
For Instance the use of this tell-tale

shattering iho prospects of many a oan

that they might team their true views on

Fate’s revenge on the humorist, arr-ore!-
i Ing to Mark Twain, alias Samuel M. Clem
! *na. who Is Just hack from an extended
r< sidence In Europe, la a loos of confl
* deuce. Mr Clemen* has reached the con
. lurion after much personal ownel n
that people do not believe the truth, at
j least not from him. I have 11l so mu h.
In a genial, good-natured way, of course,
that ixofd. won't believe m© when I
rpoak *he truth." ho Is quoted as saying
In an Interview "I may add that I have
stopped speaking the truth. It Is no lon
ger appreciated - -In m* Thus Mark
Twain declares bo b*i- been forced by fate
lo adopt fleflon as a medium by whlrh
to convey truth, lie 'io©* not "lie" for the
love of It. he soys, but for the love of
truth, dls.emiratlng his "true views by
means of a -cries of apparently humorous
ttnd mcr.darlou# stories" lb o lUlr.ues;
If any man * in <it> that. i*w, finds that
he ran disseminate fins through the me
dium of falsehood he should never apeak
the truth—and f don't.”
Mr Clemen*’ vlewg nr© unique und
r hnraetertalic of *h© fimous humors'.
However. they are not altogelher orlgl
nil, sine© Ihe f.ibl© and the ulhgory have
ben, frnm time Immemorial, favorite
means of forcibly conveying truths Hut
th© humorist m ©ms fo go further than the
■lmp © fable and allegory would warrant
Tli© b-st mode of conveying truth, ac
eordlng lo his way of putting It Is by
falsehood, ilr Clemens has no doubt
fount the groundwork for his theory in
human nature of whlrh he Is on utd> nt
student. Perhaps, like Burnum. who
found humanity most gullible. Mirk
Twain has discovered that people love to
bo bamboozled. This is an use of Action,
and people would rathir laugh over some
imporsib;© yarn, or alud a .-llent tear over
th© misfortunes of the it# lodmmallc hero
ine, than exert their .motions of Joy and
sorrow over the humors and tragi *ll of
ordinary every-day life.
It may be questioned whether falsehood,
even of ihe "genial, good-natmed" k.nd
lb© humorist mentions, is of more force
In the accomplishment of good than
truth, still there is ad- man I for It and
the demand must b* supplied But then
Mark Twain Is never to b© taken too t* rl.
ousiy. Perhaps In Ids Interview he apptb ~
Ihe very principle he discuss. . and after
all li may be only one of bis J k,*s. At tin
ame time R calls forcible attention to
th© growing tendency In human nature—*
certainly an unfortunate one—to turn tor
pleasure to fiction and fancy, ruthtr than
for pleasure and Instructton to fact und
truth.

Ills Early Verse Pursued Him.
I do not know how early I began to
write doggerel, but at 15 1 wrote a love
poem, write# Thomas Dunn English In
Success, It appeared In prim over my
Initials, through the grace of a good
natured editor. A musical composer of the
town sow the lines, mnrried them to a
melody, and published them This put it
Into my head that 1 was a poet, and I
proceed'd forthwith to continually Inflict
on the public a number of verses, to
whleh I incautiously affixed my name.
Fortunately, these were either puNlshed
In Journals now dead, or were overlooked
by the public In general. Occasionally,
however. I meet with some venerable gen
tlewoman who soys to me:
"Dortor. I have such a charming poem
of yours In my scrapbook "
Then I feel a creeping sensation up my
backbone, for 1 kr.ow what is coming Bh©
produces one of th©#© early effort*, and.
on looking at it, I feel very much Ilk©

However great your productions may seem
to you at first, they are no* so great as
they will he later, It Is to be hoped; and
thev will be sure to rise up before you
in th© literary day of judgment. Begin
with an alls*, and watt to see if you can
make an impression on the publlr before
you unmask yourself. Thus you will save
yourself much literary remorse.
