He Forgave Twain.

Many years ago the Montana club in
Helena entertained Mark Twain after
n lecture. He met many old friends
there and one old enemy. The latter
had come all the way from Virginia
City, New. on purpose to settle an old
score. When the glasses were filed
and Marks health proposed, this man
interrupted the proceedings by saying:
Hold on a minute. Before we go fur
Their 1 want to say to you, Sam Glenn
ems, that you did me dirty trick over
there in Silver City, and I've come
here to have a settlement with you"
There was a deathly silence for
moment, when Mark said in his DELHI
crate drawi: Lets see. That-was-
before-I-reformed, wasn't-it?"
Senator Sanders suggested that mas
much as the other fellow had never re-
formed Clemens and all the others
present forgive him and drink together,
which all did.

request, but that he could not meet
her unless she knew perfectly well who
he was and that he was not held in
high esteem by the northern people
chiefly on account of the Fort Pillow
affair l assured him that she was full
ly aIpriSed of his record, and then he
went with me to meet her, and she told
me later she had never met a more at

Earlier in his career - that is, be-
fore he had learned to spell-he was
asked by young lady to put his auto

as requested and under it his title, ma

The lady called his attention to it in
very delicate way, and he looked at it

Up to last evening all the Informal

and that no death had occurred there

POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP-

vineI Makes Pure, Rich,

BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS
WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

impoverished blood is sure sign of
internal disorders. We see every day
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all of our fellow-citizens to
lsnow of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is a
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue 10 the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the liverS of live co6s-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tons.
Vinols effect on the stomach is mar
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body, and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue. bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood
We are in receipt of letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:

-Schc:ned To Be a Dead
One, Ohicially.

Paris, March Z. - The report that
John Wilson Durant of Albany. y. Y,
who had been living during the last
two years in Paris with his mother,
had been killed at Ostend in duel
With a Russian count was an mven-
ton of his own. Durant is still alive.
No duel was fought. The whole story
was Il pure fabrication. This was def
initely established last evening when il
became known that two letters had
been received in Paris from Durant.
one dated Ostend, March Is, and the
other London. March 1. In Tie for
mer he asks the recipient to make cer-
tain personal arrangements and to for
ward his mail to Glasgow, care Of ''P.
S. Peat" Kelvinside; and in tAe latter
he exposes himself by saying after
requesting that change be made in
the arrangement suggested in the first
letter and that his mail be forwarded
to London, you will understand | Of
ficially died yesterday. Keep up the
Illusion"
kilograms Tell of His Death.
These letters are in Durant's own
handwriting The evidence originally
appeared to establish conclusively the
fact of duel. The first clue was
the following death notice appearing
in the European edition of the New
York Herald:
"Durant. - At Ostend. Belgium.
March 3. John MacWilson Durant.'
The attention of the American con-
Sulate was called to this and an in
vestigation was Immediately opened
which revealed the following tele-
gram, written in French, that bad
been received by Durants betrothed,
Mile. Laure Mangin yesterday morn
ing:
"Ostend undatedl.-M friend Du-
rant is dead. Count is very serious
wounded. Louis Therriott de GretBn."
The signature is the name of one
of Dmant's friends, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that Durant sent the telegram
himself.
Told His Girl of Duel.
Mile. Mangin who was interviewed
last evening. said Durant told her of
his trouble with a Russian count at
his hotel and said he was going to
fight him at OStend. He had also
talked freely at the hotel to friends
regarding the alleged coming duel
Mr. Stevens, of Boston. Mass. urged
him to abandon tine idea and cndeav-
ored to persuade him to return to the
United States with his mother purant
replied. mo. it is n question of honor
and | intend to see il through. The
count is coming from Nice and the
encounter will occur at Ostend.
Throughout Saturday he was engaged
in making the final arrangements. He
shaved his mustache and declined to
recognize friends whom he met acct
dentally. He left Paris Sunday for
Ostend. whence he sent the first let
ter, and took the night boat for Lon
don. sending the second letter on his
arrival there. The hotel people assert
that some one telephoned Monday and
asked when Durant's body arrived.
