“Teannot tell how the truth | be: | Jay the tale as ‘twas told | to me.” How To Get an Autograph. Ellis Parker Butler was a clerk in a Muscatine spice mill when Bill Nye came across his horizon. The night Mr. Nye showed at that town Butler oceupied a seat in the first gallery— from’ the roof. The sad-eyed humorist pleased him so that he decided to write for an autograph. He wanted it for the front page of his carefully worded ep reply. Whereupon the industrious youth wrote ‘another and another. No an- swers. Undaunted, he got a line on the route of his celebrity and developed an inspiration somewhat as follows: “Edgar Wilson Nye, Esq., Planters Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. | “Dear Mr. Nye—I have been writing to you rather persistently. The reason is that I have discovered a new corn cure. I want to name it after you and use your picture on the box. I know that you are a busy man. If I do not hear from you soon I will consider that | you have given your consent. Very respectfully yours, Ellis P. Butler."” By return mail came: “E, P. Butler, Muscatine, Ia. * Don’t you dare to pnt my pic- ture on any corn-salve box! I most cer- tainly do not give my consent to have the stuff named after me, I am com- monly considered a good-natured man, but have acare! You'll know the rea- son if youdon’t. Edgar Wilson Nye."" Mistaken Identity Again. The recent death of Chief Justice Fuller has revived the following story:| Probably Mark Twain resembled the lute chief justice in physical appearance | more than any other man of prominence in recent years. Frequently the humor- ist was mistaken for the jurist. One day a young lady accosted Mark Twain | on the street and, with an apology that she had never seen the chief justice be- fore, asked for his autograph. The au- thor wrote: “It is delicious to be full, But it is heavenly to be Fuller. “Tam cordially yours, “Melville W. Fuller.”” The late chief justice, as far as| known, never expressed his opinion of what he thought of Twain for playing this little joke on him.
