MARK TWAIN OF STYLE.

In the course of an interview the other day Mark Twain turned interrogator, and asked the newspaper man what he thought of his (Mark's) style?

I think it admirable. It is exceedingly simple and direct and fucid, and it has a special and unusual feature which is gullon -that is the word, gulden?'

What is that?*

Yon-hardly overuse a long word."

Ah, you're noticed it! Do you guess the secret of that?'

'No, but if you would tell me→

I'm paid by the word-do you get the ideal'

"Well, no, I believe I don't.'
