Twain's Most Quoted Wittieisn.


OF all the witty things said or writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted oftener than his reply to an
alarmist report, "Rumor Of my death
greatly exaggerated" I think the his
tory Of this bonnet, says a CORE
spondent, may interest. Mark Twain
was on visit to London some years
ago and had been secured as the chief
guest Of dinner to be given by a lit
srary club. On the morning. Of the day
when the dinner was to take place the
secretary was shocked to hear a ru-
NOR that Mark Twain had died sud-
denly. At his Wits end, he sought to
verify 1t by a diplomatic note to Mrs.
Clemens. in which he mentioned the
rumor. Mark Twain got hold Of the
note and telegraphed the now famous
reply, "Rumor Of my death greatly e.
aggerated."

History Made Palatable,

Joseph Salvador, the French histo-
rtan, aud Jules Sandeau,' a novelist,
made their meeting at a public recep-
ton the occasion for dispute as to
the respective places which they occu-
pied In the world of letters.
"Tbe reading Of history is like 4 pill
1T needs the sugar coating to make It
palatable," argued the novelist.
"Ah. but 1t is the Ingredient which
cures. not the coating" remarked tho
historian.
"Thep let US divide honors," said
sandeau, "tor II It were not for my
sugar coating your historical facts
would dry on the shelves"
