align="left">We came upon the "Mark Twain House."... And to think that,
wretched as this place was, the Clemens family were forced to
leave it for a time because they were too poor to live there

240 At one side is an alley running back to the house of Huckleberry Finn,
and in that alley stood the historic fence which young Sam
Clemens cajoled the other boys into whitewashing for him 244 Never outside of Brittany and Normandy have I seen roads so full of
animals as those of Pike County 253 Mr. Roberts is a wonder—nothing less. There's a book in him, and
I hope that somebody will write it, for I should like to read that
book 268 Looking down from Kersey Coates Drive, one sees ... the appalling
web of railroad tracks, crammed with freight cars, which seen
through a softening haze of smoke, resemble a relief map—strange,
vast and pictorial 289 Colonel Nelson is a "character." Even if he didn't own the "Star," ...
he would be a "character."... I have called him a volcano;
he is more like one than any other man I have ever met 304 Mr. Fish informed me that the waters of Excelsior Springs resemble
the waters of Homburg, the favorite watering place of the late
King Edward—or, rather, I think he put it the other way round 322 We strolled in the direction of the old house, that house of tragedy in
which the family lived in the troublous times.... It was there
that the Pinkertons threw the bomb 328 It was Frank James.... He looks more like a prosperous farmer or
the president of a rural bank than like a bandit. In his manner
there is a strong note of the showman 335 The campus seems to have "just growed."... Nevertheless, there is
a sort of homely charm about the place, with its unimposing, helter-skelter
piles of brick and stone 353 Even at sea the great bowl of the sky had never looked to me so vast 368 The little towns of western Kansas are far apart and have, like the
surrounding scenery, an air of sadness and desolation 373 In the lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel we saw several old fellows,
sitting about, looking neither prosperous nor busy, but always
talking mines. A kind word, or even a pleasant glance, is enough
to set them off 380 "Ain't Nature wonderful!" 405 I was by this time very definitely aware that I had my fill of winter
motoring in the mountains. The mere reluctance I felt as we began
to climb had now developed into a passionate desire to desist 412 The homes of Colorado Springs really explain the place and the society
is as cosmopolitan as the architecture 417 On the road to Cripple Creek we were always turning, always turning
upward 432 We were invited to meet the President of the Mormon Church and
some members of his family at the Beehive House, his official
residence 452 The Lion House—a large adobe building in which formerly resided
the rank and file of Brigham Young's wives 461 The Cliff House has a Sorrento setting and hectic turkey-trotting
nights 468 The Salt-water pool, Olympic Club, San Francisco 477 The switchboard of the Chinatown telephone exchange is set in a
shrine and the operators are dressed in Chinese silks 496 We believed we had encountered every kind of "booster" that creeps,
crawls, walks, crows, cries, bellows, barks or brays, but it remained
for the Exposition to show us a new specimen 504
