I AST DAYS OF AMERICAN
Humorist mark twain
Mark Twain’s last days, it will be
remembered, were spent in Bermuda,
at the home of Vice-Consul Allen,
where he had gone following the
shock of his daughter Jean’s death.
The great humorist, suffering from
heart attacks which began to recur
with increasing frequency, knew that
he was a dying man. Yet his whimsi
cal humor never failed him. His bi
ographer, Albert Bigelow Laine, writ
ing in St. Nicholas recalls how Mr.
Clemens at this time referred to the
hypodermic injection which had be
come necessary to him, as “hypnotic
injunctions.”
“As long as I remember anything,”
writes Mr. Paine in describing the
trip from Bermuda, “I shall remember
the 48 hours of that homeward voy
age. He was comfortable at first
and then we ran into the humid, op
pressive air of the gulf stream, and
he could not breathe. It seemed to
me that the end might come at any
moment, and this thought was in his
own mind, but he had no dread, and
his sense of humor did not fail. Once
when the ship rolled and his hat fell j
from the hook and made the circuit of j
the cabin floor, he said, ‘The ship is
passing the hat.’
“I had been instructed in the use of
the hypodermic needle and from time
to time gave him ‘hypnotic injunc
tions,’ as he called it. But it did not
afford him entire relief. He could re
main in any position but a little
while. Yet he never complained and
thought only of the trouble he might
be making. Once he said:
“ ‘I am sorry for you Paine, but I
can’t help it—I can’t hurry this dying
business.’
“And a little later:
“ ‘Oh, it’s such a mystery, and it
takes so long.’ ”

BARTLETT’S
POLAR TRIP
. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—Plans
for the United States polar expedition
to be headed by Capt. Robert A. Bart
lett, Peary’s navigator on his journey
to the North Pole,, have progressed to
the point where the expedition, which
is to be similar to another to be led
by Capt. Roald Amundsen, discoverer
of the South Pole, may get away next
summer.
Rear Admiral Peary, who has re
turned from New York, where he con
ferred with Mr. Amundsen and Mr.
Bartlett, understands that sufficient
money has been subscribed privately
to carry through the expedition, which
probably will cost about $200,000. Mr.
Amundsen’s expedition is being or
ganized in Norway and will cost about
as much. Both will be prepared to
stay from three to five years to make
a scientific study of conditions in the
central polar regions. Starting from
different points, the expedilons intend
to drift across the North Polar ocean
and possibly may meet or pass.
DOSE TELLS
OFTHEDM
H. F. Dose, who is ably filling the ]
position of acting commissioner for |
the Alaskan Engineering commission :
during the absence of Capt. F. Mears,
notifies The Times that he confidently .
expects the government electric light
plant to ’be furnishing power for ev
ery building on 4th avenue within the :
short time of two weeks. The vital :
question of fuel has virtually been '
settled and the supply guaranteed to
meet the demand. This is due partly
to the opening of the Eska Creek
coal mines and the increased output;
of the Doherty mine at Moose creek.
Mr. Dose explained the situation very
clearly and it should be entirely sat
isfactory to the people of Anchorage.
Mr. Dose said the reason for the ap
parent delay and not being able to
supply the power upon the exact date
scheduled was lack of fuel and that
he considered it was far more consist
ent to wait until they had sufficient
coal on hand before they started the
plant to full capacity.
STANDING UK THE BOWLING
TEAMS IN THE TOURNAMENT
The standing of the bowling teams
in the trophy contest on the Robarts
alleys is as follows:
14th Infantry,’ .847; New Method
Cleaners, .666; Municipals, .541; A. E.
C. 389; Moose, .333; and Bill’s club,
.238.
The Cleaners beat the Municipals
last night in three games by 157 pins.
Graves, who is now bowling with the
Cleaners, made high score and aver
age of 213 and 189 respectively.
The soldier boys have a big lead in
the contest, but the Cleaners are
strengthening their team and will
likely be a close contender. The cellar
position is nip and tuck between the
Mopse and Bills with the Bills 95
points the lowest.
