MARK TWAIN AS A PRINTER, Ata meeting on Monday night of the typothete, an association of New Yorkers having more or less to do with typos, Mark Twain spoke as fol, lows: “I am staggered by the compli: ments which have been lavished and poured out on me by my friend on my right (Mr. Bailev). I am proud o. this compliment as I am staggered. It is uncommon in my experience. It is the first time that anybody in my experience has stood up in the pres. ence of a large and respectable assem blage of gentlemen like this, and con’ fessed that I have told the truth once ITI could return the compliment I. would do it.
