IT HE way to reckon the
cost Of painting IS to
put both costs togcth-
cr-the cost Of paint, and Of
putting on.
1t costs as much to put on
one paint as another; if you
use as many gallons Of ONE
paint as another, the put
tin-on cost is the same.
But if YOU use Dcyoc

use less gallons by half or
a third. Hundreds of cases
prove that Dcyoc requires
less gallons than any other
paint for the same service.

Washington, April 22.-secretary
Ballinger of the department of the in
terror has withdrawn from entry ap-
proximately 13.5OO,OO0 acres of coal
lands in southeastern Montana, be-
lieved to contain value deposits, pend
ing examination and classification as
to their values.
The secretary also has ordered 40O,-
900 acres of land in Montana into the
enlarged homesteads. as not being
susceptible of irrigation from any
known source Of water supply and has
applied like order to $4,000 acres in
New Mexoci. This brings the area
designated for homestead in Montana
close to 30,000,00O acres and in New
Mexico to more than 15,OOO,O00. The
withdrawal Of the coal lands in Mon
tana fs made, according to a state
ment from the interior department
upon the recommendation of the direc-
tor of the geological survey. 1t is the
largest single withdrawal of coal
lands since Secretary Hitchcock made
the original Withdrawals in 1906. The
lands involved are in Valley, Dawson,
Rosebud and Custer counties. The
department says its action in no way
interferes with the development of the
country. should legislation looking to
the separation from the mineral rights
be enacted by congress in the near
future.

committee to require the witnesses to

course the prosecution" has the right
to recall any witness at any time. The
request as to Assistant Secretary
Pierce applies also to other subordin-
ates of the interior department. The
slow progress made by the committee
has become irritating to some of the
members but up to this time every
attempt to hold more than two ses-
siOns a week has met with failure.
The hearing has been in progress now
since January. The record has been
,about one witness week.

WAR IN SIGHT
Ecuador and Peru Are Seeking to Set
tie Their Differences.

Ecuador and Peru Are Seeking to Set
tie Their Differences.
Washington, April 22-United States
Minister Fox has telegraphed the state
department from Quito, Ecuador, that
great uneasiness Is felt throughout
that country on account Of the grow
ing danger of war with Peru.
1t is pointed out here that the action
of Ecuador in naming three represen-
tatives to come to Washington in the
expectation that Peru would do the
same, with a view to an amicable set
tlement between themselves of the diff
ferences which are responsible for the
present agitation in the two countries,
seems to have been precipitated. So
far as can be learned Peru still main
tains her position with respect to her
agreement with Ecuador to abide by
the findings of the king of Spain. to
whom the matters in dispute were
submitted and the view is expressed
that any other course would be dis
creditable to the principle Of arbitra-
tion.
Indications seem to point to an
amicable settlement between Peru and
Chile Of the Arica-Tacna difficulty, in
which event Chile might find it to her
interest to withdraw her moral sup
port from Ecuador In such an event
Ecuador, it is thought here, would
hesitate, and the danger of a conflict
would be materially lessened.

Mark Twain did not die in anguish.
Sedatiyes soothed his pain but in his
moments Of consciousness the mental
depression persist. ]. On the way up
from Bermuda he said to Albert
Bigelow Paine, who had been his con-
stant companion in illness.
This is bad job; we'll never pull
through with It."
On shore once more and longing for
the serenity of the New England hill
he took heart md said to those who
noted his enfeeblement in sorrow:
Give me breath of Redding air
once more and this will pass;" but
it did not pass, and tired Of body and
weary of spirit. the old warrior
against shams and snobs said family
to his nurses: -
why do you fight to keep me alive?
Two days Of life are rs good to me as
four"
1t is certain to .be recalled that
Mark Twain was for more than fifty
years an inveterate smoker and the
first conjecture Of. the layman would
be that he had weakened his heart
by over-indulgence in tobacco. DR.
Halsey said that he was unable to
predicate that the angina pectoris
from which Mark Twain died was in
any way a sequel of nicotine poison
ing. Some constitutions, he said,
seem immune from the effects of to-
bacco. This was one Of them. Yet
it is true that since his illness be-

him anyway. If l had a yaller dog
that didn't know no more than a per-
sons conscience did, Id pizen him.
1t takes up more room than all the
rest of persons insides, and yet

With Mark Twain's lecture trim
around the world began his interna-
tional celebrity. and his gradual rise
| into figure taken in some sense to
typify the American spirit. From
humorist he became the kindly but
mocking moralist and philosopher of
Puddinhead Wilson. His literary out
put became more occasional and,
though written with more finesse,
! more critical and less creative. His
public appearances grew more fire.
Quent, his whimsical utterances gained
greater currency, and whole litera-
ture of anecdotes about him grew up.
Yale gave him the degree of NJ. A.,
and later of l.. II. d., in 1901; the Uni
versity of Missouri, his native state,
followed with LII. d.. in 1902. and in
1907 the Univer~'4-, of Oxford with

Explosion Caused by Ignition
of Coal Dust by Miners i
Lamps 4

Steubenville, Ohio, April 22.-Eigh-
teen Of the night force of the twenty
five machine men employed in the
mine of the Yougniogheny and Coal
company near Amsterdam are thought
to be dead as the result of an ex-
plosion in the mine last night. So far
six bodies have been recovered. seven
were taken from the shaft alive, but
in an unconscious condition. The
twelve men are missing. They still
are in the mine and there is a general
belief that they have perished. Res
cue work began a few minutes after
the explosion. 1t is thought that the
explosion was caused by coal gas ig-
nited by the lights on the helmets Of
the miners.
Bodies Recovered.
Birmingham, Ala, April 22.-The
work of removing the bodies of the
forty-three victims of the Mulga mine
explosion was pushed with vigor to-
day. Twenty-six bodies have been re-
covered. They were SO badly burned
and mangled by the force of the ex-
plosion that Identification was diff
cult.

resolution adopted by the Mississippi
legislature few days ago bearing
upon the charges that bribery had been
used in the election of United States
senator have just reached Washing
ton and are being exhibited to the
friends of the candidates. The resolu-
ton was passed in the Mississippi
senate with but one dissenting vote,
while in the house the vote was
unanimous. The resolution says:
I'm view of the scandalous rumors
which have been circulated touching
the recent senatorial contest. the

ure in saying to the people Of Missis-
sippi that we are convinced that the
conduct of every candidate in the SEN

gan the doctors had cut down Mr..
Twain's daily allowance of twenty
cigars and countless pipes to four
cigars day.
No deprivation was greater sor-
row to him. He tried to smoke on
the steamer while returning from
Bermuda and gave it up only because
he was too feeble to draw on his pipe.
Even on his death-bed. when he had
passed the point of speech, and it was
no longer certain that his ideas were
lucid, he would make the motion of
waving cigar and smiling, expel
air from under his moustache, still
stained with smoke.
The mere chronology of Mark
Twain's life is soon told. Like most
dwellers in the imagination, his sig
nificance to posterity lies not, as with
men Of action, in how he wrought upon
events, but rather in how events
wrought upon him; for from such re-
actions resulted his imaginative out
put-one of the most considerable of
his time, and, as it now seems, one of
the securest.
Briefly, then. Mark Twain was born
Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida,
Mo-. on Nov. 30. 1885.
"My parents" he writes. in his bur-
lesque autobiography. were neither
very poor nor conspicuously honest.
The earliest ancestor the Twains have
any record of was a friend of the FAM
lily by the name of Higgins"
The county chronicles have it that
the elder Clemens failed in business
and. died. leaving his son the ample
world to make his fortune in.
Accordingly, Mark Twain's ac-
quaintance with literature began in
putting words into type, not ideas into
words. Educated only in the public
schools, he was apprenticed to a
printer at 13 and worked at his trade
in st. Louis. Cincinnati. Philadelphia
and New York. until at 18 he could

again."
Albert Bigelow Paine, Mark Twain's
biographer and literary executor, said
to caller who desired to call for Mr..
Clemens: II do not think you will
have>to call often again.
Nevertheless Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.
Loomis, who had come up from New
York to give their love in person left
Stormfield, Mr.. Clemens house with
out seeing him, and only heard of his
death just as they were taking the
train to New York again. Mrs.
Loomis was Mr.. Clemens favorite
niece, and Mr.. Loomis Is vice presi-
dent of the Lackawanna railroad.
Similarly Jarvis Landon, a nephew.
who had run up for the day, left even
earlier and wholly uniformed.
At the death-bed were only Mrs.
Gabrilovitch, (Clara Clemens), her
husband. Ossip Gabrilovitch. DR.. Rob-
ert Halsey, DR.. Quintard, Albert
