As for _Mysterious Stranger_, does anybody teach that
anymore in a Twain class? What does one teach for the later
mood?

For a 20th Century American Lit survey class, I just taught Twain this
semester with Extracts from Adam's Diary (92/03), Chapter One of Extracts
from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven(07) and The War Prayer (04).

I wish I could teach _Stranger_, but which version to use?  I wouldn't want
to use the "Paine-Duneka" edition anymore, though it sure is cheap in the
Dover Thrift Edition.  Is there even a student edition in print of any of
the manuscript versions available out there, "The Chronicle of Young Satan"
or "No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger" ?  I don't know.
