Origin of a Mark Twain story.

quoted Oftener than his reply to IN
nlarmist report, "Rumor OF my death

when the dinner was to take place the
secretary was shocked to hear rumor
that Mark Twain had died suddenly.

DANCING Under Difficulties.

Probably the most extraordinary
dance ever known was one given ut
the British legation during the siege OF
Picking. Death was treading on the
very heels of the dancers. but they
gave regular and very successful
ball-not scratch "hop," but with n
band, supper, programs and all the
other apparatus. The dancing began
at 10 p. IN. and lasted most Of the
night. while all the time thousands Of
Chinese nends were swhrming round
the place, yelling for blood
When the relieved officers came Off
duty they repaired to the ballroom,
while the former batch OF male part
ners took up their rifles and went out
to the defense, Not a single casualty
had occurred then, nor did one happen
during the ball, by some extraordinary
chance; yet some determined assaults
were made by the besiegers, and three
times waltz was stopped short In the
middle for MI the men to turn out and
help in the defense. London Answers.

THE HAGUE. NETHERLANDS, May
Popular dissatisfaction with the
heavy burden the war has imposed on
neutral Holland is growing steadily.
Recently several meetings of work
men and women and unemployed have
protested against the high cost Of
living. One of these, held In The
Hague. was preceded by n parade of
the unemployed singing THE Interna-
tionar and distributing hand bills
calling on all Hollanders to stand with
the demonstrators in their fight against
hunger.
The meeting was held under the
auspices OF committee OF agitation
against the war. consisting OF repre-
sentatives OF The Hague trade council
and allied bodies. the Social Democratic
party, the Star Garment Workers
Union. The Hague branch OF the Ma
tional Municipal Workers and The
Hague branch OF tho Industrial
Workers of the World and the General
Trade Union Council
l.. dc Viszer. a young labor leader,
arraiGned the present administration
of the Netherlands. He called atten-
ton to Finance Minister Treub's
pledge at the outbreak of the war
that there shall be no hunger in Hol-
land" and pointed out that necessities
have risen from 90 per cent to 40 per
cent and even more in price within
the last eight months
The meeting resulted in formulation
of these demands. for which the agita-
ton committee is pledged to conduct a
propaganda:
/. Productive work at normal wages
and under normal conditions. or
:. Full pay for those who have been
modified and for the unemployed
3. National and municipal control of
foodstuffs.
4. a moratorium suspension Of the
payment OF rent and taxes) prohibit
ing d!spossession Of tenants by land
lords.
s. Proper care of the sick and the
infrm.
8. Payment Of the cost OF the above,
ms we'll as of mobilization. by a spe-
cial tax on capital and on large in
comes.
There is no doubt the presence of
thousands Of unemployed Belgian
refugees in the Netherlands has pro-
duced an acute industrial situation.
AS many Of these refugees are ardent
Socialists, tho situation is not devoid
or possible political aspects.

The following letter has been sent
home by a Liverpool officer regarding
the fighting for hill 60:
This hill. quite small mound. was
about 100 yards in front Of our
trenches. The engineers had mined the
hill. At on Saturday evening the
mines were to be exploded. When the
first explosion took place you really
can't imagine the awfulness OF it!
LAS soon as the last explosion OF the
mines had taken place one battalion
were to rush up and hold the top of the
hill, and as soon as they were up
we who were waiting in IA trench along
side them had to rush up with sand
bags and spades to put the position in
a state OF defense.
Il was the leading man OF our two
companies. as my platoon was in the
front. and as soon as the captain gave
the word for us 10 go forward we went
over the parapet of our trench like
deer and right up the hill. the men
following UP splendidly, and as soon
as we were up started filing sandbags
and building up a parapet
we had to work till midnight. when
we were to be relieved by our other two
companies The men worked like
heroes. and some OF our chaps we're
singing as they filled the sandbags.
OF course, the German guns soon
began. What with theirs and ours the
noise was tremendous. The sky was
lit UP with bursting shrapnel. etc. Most
of our casualties occurred during the
counterattack which. Of course. did not
commence till after my company had
been relieved
when we were relieved at midnight
we went back to some dugouts behind.
The rest OF the battalion got back to
the huts during the afternoon. and two
other battalons relieved as.
AT 6 p. NJ, these two battalions had
to make another bayonet charge. so I
came in for a second bombardment
The charge was quite successful though,
and we hold the hill now. The old
Jack Johnsons' were bursting all
around about tho trench 7 was in.
