I can understand his opinion of the tax collector but not sure why he was not too fond of taxidermists.

Yep ol' Mark Twain was quite a writer wasn't he? I understand they still haven't read all of his writing he left behind as it is so prolific.
Even if he didn't like taxidermists I woudn't hold it against him. If I had half his wit I would be honored.
My newspaper editor, when I did a local outdoor column, told me that Samuel did have a problem with drinking though, and when he got drunk got into repeated trouble groping women and other lecherous behavior. LOL
