Mark Twain the boy was leader of
a band of young incorrigibles, accord-
ing to Albert Bigelow Paine, I'wain’s
secretary and biographer, who in Har-
pers tells something of their juvenile
goings on:
His mother declared that he gave her
more trouble than all the other chil
dren put together. {
“He drives me crazy with his didoes
when he Is In the house,” she used to
say. “and when he is out of it | am
| expecting every minute that some one
| will bring him home half dead.”
| He did. in fact, achieve the first of his
“nine narrow escapes from drowning”

We Thank You!
The Bulletin has just closed another successful year in business, and
it is fitting that at this time a word of appreciation should be extended
to the readers and advertisers who have helped to make its achievements
possible, by their substantial support in its efforts to serve the public of
Mount Joy and vicinity in all the legitimate functions of a newspaper
looking toward sound home and business building.
. e ©
Advertising
During the year 1911 the Bulletin carried more local, more foreign
and more classified advertising than any of its contemporaries, enabling
it to distance them by a very substantial margin.
Circulation
The circulation is steadily increasing because we give such blg value
for the money. From eight to fourteen pages of good reading matter is
worth several times the subscription price. Our circulation has grown
to such an extent that we feel free in saying it surpasses that of any
weekly in this county. |
3 |
During 1912 |
It shall be the aim of the management to make the Bulletin a still |
more welcome guest at every fireside in this section, and thus augment
its value to the reader as a dependable news medium and to the adver-
tiser as a business builder.

Besides his mother, who had to con- |
tend with the bad boy, was his school-
teacher, a certain Miss Horr. Mr.
Paine tells how unlike to a bed of roses
was her lot.
Miss Horr received 25 cents a week
for each pupil and opened her school
with prayer, after which came a chap-
ter of the Bible, with explanations and
the rules of conduct. Then the A B C
class was called, because its recital
was a hand to hand struggle, requir
ing no preparation.

how much he would need to trim in to
sail close to the danger line and still
avoid disaster. However, he made a
miscalculation during the forenoon and
received warning. A second offense
would mean punishment. He did not
mean to be caught the second time,
but he had not learned Miss Horr yeot
and was presently startled by being
commanded to go out and bring a stick
for his own correction.
This was certainly disturbing. It
was sudden, and then he did not know
