The efforts of Mrs. Grundy to
kill off Mark Twain or place him
within the shelter of the poor
house have come to naught once

Instead of dying in poverty, he
is said to be living in compare
tive luxury in Chelsea and work
ing like beaver on a new bit of
humor-despite his delicate
health. If Twain should ever
come to grief in England, It's 8
fair ager tkst his Fellow conn
trymen will know it definitely.
