An elaborate entertainment pro- ‘ram, arranged by a conynittee of /Mandan citizens, and a speaking pro- gram which will include the leading men in the dairy indus- try is expected to do much to boost the attendance, Husby said.

The captives were surprised, the prison rules were very strict. Easy to Get In “How did you manage to get in here?” Hammond asked. “I never for. aving difficulty “The said Mark. getting into jail great trouble’s to get out.” Twain stayed a f told # lot of funn. tinued to be a delight even after he was gone, beca as Hammond ©: tplains, “we Ame: had to tri late them to our English-fellow pri oners and as soon as they got the points they appreciated them ‘very mudh¥’ <eeehh Coming out, Mark was stopped by a Boer newspaper reporter. “Mr. Clemens,” said this, scribe, “how did you find conditions in that jail? He'd found them perfectly unprintable, they were so awful, but, “Why do you ask?” he queried. “Be: ‘cause complaints have been madq concerning them,” the reporter ex- ined. "You don't say!” exclaimed Mark, in seeming surprise. “Now, I was greatly impressed with the quict of that jail. {t struck me as an ideal place for a rest cure. There one would be quite free from the impor- tunities of one’s creditors.” (Which probably really was a ‘coti- sideration with Mark, since he was havii lots of trouble at the time with the importunities of his own.)
