' '"'Epitaphs aro cheap, and they do
a, poor chap a world of good after
he's dead," Mark Twain once wrote
bht to 'some of his dearest friends he
tald many times before he died that
be did not want any epitaphs or
eulogies when the tlmo came for him
to pbsb out. It was with these things
in mind that those of the dead

What tho amount of Mark Twain's
royalties and other profits from writ
ings have been during the last 10

, of, Ms immediate friends. A repie
Mutative of Harper & Bi other, who

It became known that Clemens left

given those manuscripts over Into
the hands of these llteiary executors
to be disposed of after his duutli as

Those acquainted with the author's
