Many people who have never seen him or
heard his name will yet regret his teafh as
that OF an old friend, for he was we'll known
wherever tho English Language was read as the
Dan OF Mark TWGins lnnOcents Abroad. He
was a genial gentlemen, social and pleasant,
whose character was not oVsrdrawn in thu
famous book. OF the pilgrims he VAS proba-
bly, the most practical and possessed the great
est share Of common sense. When the party
hired the guide Bnlihn5er and they determined
to rename him for the sake Of romance, one
snggested the name Alexis du Caulain court.

inc! Soap: you son of q gun. Dan, if you would
let us talk for you, you would never expose
your ignorant vulgarity.
At another time, when the Innocents were
, travelling through Italy. and Ferguson kept
telling them that Michael Angelo designed
every castle and church-s'the Pantheon, the
Iiber. the Vatican, the Coliseum, the Tarpeian
Dan cried out: "Enough, enough, enough!
Say no morel Lump the whole thing and say
that the Creator made Italy from designs by

| Dan was the marker in the billiard game
! played by Dan and the doctor, which lasted two
hours ana half without q point being made,
| when Dan asked them if the game was not
1 rather monotonous.
[ Out OF that voyage grew many warm frend-
ships, and none of them were stronger than
