Murk Twnin, who retired from tlie hurry and bustle of Now York to his idyllic country residence :it Nodding, Connecticut, which he has christened "Innocent's Home," had his slumbers rudely disturbed early one morning recently by two burglars, who removed iomo of the family silver (says the 'Daily Mail's' New York correspondent). His secretary, Mtrful for the. tged humorist's health, insisted 011 his returning to bed, which, after a few •liaracteristic witticisms, he did. 15ut ,iot to sleep. Calling for a piece of ■ardboard, the author amused himself by writing in large letters the following notice, which he subsequently lailed to the front door: —Notice to ;,he Next Burglar—That there is nothing but plated ware in this house iow "and henceforth. You will find it 11 that brass thing in tho dining-room iver in the corner by the basket, of kitens. If you want the basket, put the cittens in the brass thing. Do not •unite a noiso. It disturbs the family. Vou will lind goloshes in the front hall ;y that thing which has; umbrellas 111 t —a chiffonier, I think they call it, >r a pergola, or something like that, i'lease eloso the door.—Yours truly, S. !/. Clemens.
