THE FAMOUS HUMORIST HAS A DOUS BLE IN KANSAS. Hti Ktme la Clcmenti. Too, and Britishers Once Mqde I.lfe able For Him by Instating That He Vu the Ileal and Only Mark. Mark Twain has a double and the double doesn't like it a bit. As for Mark, no one knows that ho fact, it is rather uncertain whether the great Mark knows of it.

The double has Murk's own name, Clemens, with tho prefixed initials of 6. C. He is a Kansas yer by as ho bears a striking resemblance to the real thing, ho is often taken for it, in America and abroad. Pooplo say that thoy uro cousins, and tho socialist has to deny it every other day. He went to Europe years ago, and people there dined and wined him, believing that they had the real old stuff with thom.

The more ho tried to explain that it was all a mistake on their and the der that he got, tho more tickled they were. "Oh, Mr. Twain," thoy said, "you are 60 funny! Now wo see through it all, and you can't conceal your identity from us." This is what Mr. Clemens of Kansas eays when "joshed" by his friends upon his great relation: "I understand that Mark Twain is a man of good naturcd ability, and, had ho turned his attention to some propor pursuit, ho doubtless would havo mado his way in tho world, etood well in society and perhaps have been mayor of his city and perhaps nor of some western stato. But ho got tho notion into his head that he could write and threw away his chances to win mortality by appointing policomen and notaries public.

Ho took to writing books even after he must havo known the whole world was laughing over his literary effusions. Ho choso his careor without consulting me, and if ho is disappointed with tho result let him look to it and not be saddling himself upon me by claiming kinship. I am in no condition to stand any foolishness. I havo hard work to got credit at my now." In tho year of tho Russo-Turkish war this Kansas Clomens went to Europe to try his luck as a war correspondent. It does not bear on this story, but it may be of interest to add that he never got a chance to show his prowess in tho lino of war correspondence.

Possibly his reputa tion was enhanced by this absenco of portunity. Anyway, Fourth of July of that year found G. C. Clemens on board grossing the Atlantic. Already he had been taken to be tho only Mark, in spite of all his statements to tho contrary.

He mado a little speech at tho Independ' ence day celebration, but tho main address of the day was mode by somo unknown who bore the titlo of colonel. Clemens having been chosen press agent, upon his arrival in Glasgow, ho took the colonel's speech to tho office of a newspaper to have it printed, with a report of tho procood ings. He sent his card to the editor, and on leaving said to the editor: "If you leave out anything, leave out my own speech. If you print anything and loave out the colonel's speech, I can't stay here and bo safo." The next day tho city was placarded with such poster announcements as this: 'Mark Twain on the Old see Glasgow Evening News." Clemens got a copy of tho paper, and there was the colonel's speech, to bo sure, but his own led tho story. Clemons tried all sorts of arguments to prove that he wasn't Mark Twain, but all the editor said was, "If you want to travel it's all very well, but I cannot and will not tell my readers that tho speech that I have published as yours is not your own." That night Clemens went to the theater with some of his steamer friends, and greatly to their amusement Mark Twain gags were thrown at him from the stage.

The nest day crowds of pooplo camo to his hotel for his signature. He wrote his own honest name in their albums, and they departed happy. He began to bo afraid that if tho real Mark Twain showed up anywhere Kansas be denounced as an imposter. So he fled to London and went to tho Inns of Court hotel. In tho next morning's paper ho saw the announce' ment, "Mark Twain at the Inns of Court hotel." Now the Kansas man felt really good, because ho had made up his mind to go to the real Mark and tell him all about it So ho asked tho clerk for formation about Twain, and he discovered again that he himself was the Mark ed of.

He was thrown off his feet by this statement, but he had self possession enough to skip to Paris. While there a letter came to him from the Glasgow tor, asking him to oome at once to gow. Thinking that the truth at last was about to come out, he returned and found that the editor wanted to submit to bim a business proposition. The editor'was to print anything that Clemens might ohoosd to write denying that he was Mark Twain, and then pay Clemens well for traveling over Scotland and write it up "on the American plan." Clemons was to be himself and no one else, and he was to get big pay for being honest. This looked like a profitable and reputable scheme, and Clemens wrote the letter denying bis identity with Mark Twain, and then started off on his tour.

But when he got to the next town he found that his letter as published bad preceded him: Worse than that, it was accepted as only one more of "Mark Twain's things." "What's the use," said Clemens to self, "of a poor devil trying to be honest in such a country as thief" So he pared to return to his own Kansas, where at least he was what he was. But he couldn't make a fly by night trip, so it camo to pass when he was on the ship that he was placod at the captain's right at the table, and for 11 long days he had to eat Mark Twain food and drink Mark Twain drinks. Kind ladies got down Mark's books from the ship's library, and ens had to give readings from "The Jumping Frog" and other of hls "own works."

HE NEEDED A WIFE. Without One He Might Have ten That He Was Alive. Professor Hopkins was for some years one of the leading lights in a New land town, and the people who formerly associated with and knew him in his daily walk and conversation unite in saying that a better neighbor, an abler scholar and a more public spirited zen never lived. At the same time thoy freely admit that be was a trifle absentminded. One day when the professor was to be married, which important stop was not taken until bo had reached middle age, it was noticed that he was even more abstracted and absentminded than usual.

Apparently his mind was occupicd with some particularly abstruse and delicate problem to the exclusion of everything else, aiid it required all the finesse tind watchful tact and diplomacy of his friends to keep him tip tq his part and pilot him safely through the ceremony. When it was ended, he took a seat at the table with his new made bride and the wedding guests and, still engrossed with his problem, partook of the ding banquet in preoccupied silence. At its conclusion, when the carriage which was to convey the bridal couple to the train was announced, tho professor denly recalled that he had planned going on a trip of some sort on that day, and, springing to his feet, he began shaking hands and bidding the guests a hurried goodby. When he reached tho bride on his rounds, he cordially grasped her hand, his mind still intent on that problem, and said: "Well, goodby, Miss Johnson. I hope 1 shall see you often upon my return." really, stammered the embarrassed bride.

And then one of her friends came to the rescue and said: "Why, professor, have you forgotten that you have just been married? This lady is Mrs. Hopkins now, you know." "Oh, is she?" exclaimed the professor, with his mental machinery still pegging away at the same old problem. "Happy to make your acquaintance, Mrs. kins very happy indeed! I shall have to goodby now, but I trust I shall have tho pleasure of meeting you again." Dropping her hand, the absentminded professor was turning away when the quick witted bride caught him by the coat sleeve and blushingly whispered: "Why, Henry, aren't ou going to take me with you?" "Bless you, of course 1 am!" ed the professor, suddenly waking up to a realization of the fact that the lady by his side was honcefortli a part of self. "Got to have you go along to do my remembering for me.

Just take my arm, Mrs. and we will get started at once on our wedding journey while tho matter is fresh in mind. And, dearest, if 1 do accidentally lose track of you during the trip or at any time hereafter, I must plead as my excuse tho old erb which truthfully remarks that our greatest blessings are the ones we are most apt to Argus. The Hornet's Charge. Mr.

Hervy Laney, in The Scietific American, describes the way hornets fend their homes. There is always a sentinel on watch at the entrance, and when a stone is thrown at the nest "the hand that threw it has been marked as sure as the sun shines, and before the tacking party can possibly turn the head he will feel a stunning blow in the fore head and possibly drop to the earth with pain, for tho hornet ilies with such ve loeity that the human body is not swift enough in movement to get out of the way." In making such a charge, Mr. Laney says, the hornet flies "with head and tail together," and the sting is driven deep. But if the boy gets behind a tree or bush and throws from shelter he is ly to escape, because the hornet seems to possess little power of locating enemy by sight. When the delivery oi' a stone is 'followed by a successful charge, Mr.

Laney thinks, it is because the hornet possesses "the faculty of marking the direction of a missile thrown at the nest." He Came Oat Ahead. Two thrifty looking foreigners, who may bo called Brown and Jones, were turning with their families in a vania ferryboat from their Sunday ing. Brown happened to drop a quarter and looked in vain for the missing coin, which Jones had covered with his foot. When the boat got in the slip Jones, in stooping to pick up his little son, aged to seize the quarter and marched out of the cabin carrying the boy, whose hat dropped off as they were leaving the boat. Brown, who had seen Jones' little financial trick, quickly picked up the child's hat and hid it behind his back.

Jones, not seeing the hat, thought it had gone into the water and walked on. Brown explained to his wife that the hat was worth 50 cents and would fit one of his boys, so that he was 25 cents ahead. York Tribune. No More to Be Said. Isaac M.

Gregory, who was at one time editor of the New York Graphic and for many years the editor of Judge, once made a severe reply to a statement made by M. le Due, who was commissioner of agriculture. Le Due had quarreled with the press, and some one asked him why he did not reply in kind. "Nonsense," he returned "I shall wear no jackass' scalp at my belt." To this Mr. Gregory promptly retorted: "Oh, no, old fellow.

PAT11 USED TO THROW PAPER QUETS AT HERSELF. The Famonn Prima Donna's Own Story of Her First Appearance on the Stage When She Was bat Seven Yearn ot Age.

It was tho night of Nov. 10, 1857. In Now York, where my parents then resided, was a great, wide thoroughfare paved with cobblestones, and ou the fast side of this thoroughfare was a ater known as Niblo's Garden. The piece was "Una Voce," in which my father and mother were playing. I was then a tiny girl of 7 years, with a pale face and very, very black eyes, and next to ing my favorite pastime was runuing down Broadway trundling a hoop.

One of the lirst memories I have, next to that connected with my hoop, is my standing behind the scenes and peering through a hole in the curtain while my father and mother went through their performance. Once, not long after my debut, a great soprano, who had been starring for a few uiglits, had just finished a long rounding off with a beautiful trill. Blie had made her exit as the house rang with applause when she stooped down and looked at poor little me. "Oh, dear," I said, "how badly you trilled! 'Twasn't close enough. Just listen to nie.

I'll show you the way." I had never been taught to "shake," yet it came to mo quite naturally, and a great many people besides my parents praised it. I still wonder what the rnouts soprano thought of me. Eut before I tell you what happened on that first night I must tell you why I came a prima donna at such an early age I had been a prima donna of the nursery months and months before. When I had been put to bed on my turn home with my father and mother from the opera, and I was quite certain that they and the rest of the household had gone to sleep, I used to hop out again and imagine myself even as great a sonage as the famous soprano I have just mentioned. Oftentimes now I can see myself in a room of that very modest brick tenement, dancing and singing, and dressed up in all tho odd costumes I could put my hands on.

Death scenes were my ness, and I do not miiul admitting that "Norma" was my favorite. Wlien I had done something which I considered very line indeed, I cried out, "Brava, Adelina!" and threw magnificent bouquets and wreaths down before my own bare little feet. And then I would grow sleepy, palled with success, and so creep back to bed, leaving the bouquets and the wreaths in the middle of the floor. Shall I tell you that these magnificent tokens were made of old newspapers? Yes. I'm sure I was a very strange little girl.

We were all very oppressed and ious in those days, and the prospects of making money were very bad. I was 7 years old when the opera company of which my father and mother were bers began to return so little money that I could no longer stand my father's troubled face. I remember saying: "Don't sell your beautiful turquoise pin, papa. Let me help you. I can sing well enough, aud I will be a little prima donna." And I remember, too, my father's eyes filling with tears as he replied: "No, little one.

What you say is impossible. But I had made up my mind less. My mother had already given me lessons in music, aud I had practiced a little with her. I gave them all no peace until one day it was noised abroad that little Adelina. the daugher of Signor Patti, was to sing "Una Voce" and "The Sonnamb'nla" at Niblo's Garden.

A prima donna of seven summers! said everybody, and I am sure they must have laughed. But it was no laughing matter to me or to my mother and ther, although I was not a bit nervous or frightened, but, on the contrary, full of childish confidence. I didn't care for much to eat that evening, but nobody paid any attention to my want of tite. 1 coaxed my mother, and she braided my hair and powdered my tiny brown face. We burned candles in those days, and I can still see myself looking for many minutes into the mirror of my bedroom, with the heavy shadows behind me, before we set out for the theater.

From time to time my father brought reports to us in our dressing room of the appearance of the house. It was not a large audience. At 7 o'clock the curtain went up, and I came on. I think body in the house must have applauded, for, besides having a great many friends there, it would have been hard of body not to have been interested in so young a cantatrice. They told me ward that from those first notes nobody had any doubt that I was a success and a born prima denna.

Child as I was, I felt sure that le Bon Dieu was at my side. When the curtain went down on "Una Voce," I saw a great number of men and women clapping and waving their hands and crying "Brava, brava!" and even the gods in the gallery tried to whistle as loud as they could, and you must not get that the gods were my personal friends. There are no street arabs like those of New York. They had long fore nicknamed me "The Little Chinee Girl" because of my black eyes and lowish features. Then I remember my father catching me up in his arms and kissing me, and my mother and all the members of the company petting ine as if I had done something wonderful indeed, but it was not more than I expected to do.

But there was "Sounambula" to come before the evening was finished, and they told fne there were more people to hear "Sonnambula" than "Una Voce," because many of the audience had gone out and brought in chance acquaintances. They told me that one man actually brought over no fewer than six friends from the New York hotel over the way, and, what was more and better for us, he paid for them. But I told you enough. The world knows pretty well what has pened after that. But I have here told you the story of my first appearance.

Too Convenient. "Here's a queer tale of a family of 11 that has Its home in a hollow tree," said the woman who is always interested in strange stories aa she looked up from her paper. "How would yon. like such a home aa that, Willie?" inquired the woman's busband, turning to bis son and heir. The boy shook his head.
