It falied with liabilities of 190.000.
The failure had already Rucked In
JC5 000 of Mark Twnlu'H oiRh but
ho determined nlao to uhouldor tho
debta. and to pay them off and
undertook In lSSfi-O a loeturo trip
around tho world .
Mark Twain vna an Invotornto
smoker and ono of tho mont leis-
urely men In tho world. An old
proasman who was onco a printer's
devil In an olllce whore Mnrk was
editorial writer tolla this anecdote
of his hnhita of work: "Ono of my
duties waa to aweop tho room whore
editors worked . Every day Mnrk
would Klvo mo a nlokel to got
away from him. Ho would rather
die In tho dust than unorona his
Iorb. Ono day ho gavo mo a nickel
to dot an '1' In his copy for him.
He certainly did onpoy llfo that
man did."
Yot this oasy-BolnR dawdler ac-
quitted himself of a prodlgioua deal
of work In hln llfo and bound him-
self voluntarily to pay off debts
that ho could havo discharged with-
out hurt to his good namo by pass-
ing through bankruptcy. Ho did
not practice na ho prenched: "It
ltraal sixleon miles off to treat tho
wounds of two of tho Masai; It ap
