"CARUSO DAM has not as yet
formulated any plans regarding
the match. but says he would be
willing to stage II In the East. or
put It on In Victoria for Is rounds
II the proper accommodations can
be secured.
The local fistic promoter seems
confident that Campi Is primed for

ing at the hands Of Leonard Is the
beginning Of the end OF him as
featherweight champion.
Campi Is listed among the top
notchers OF the boxing game. OF

hit BY his showing OF boxing skill

Most actresses would take such SEN

was that made him different, but aft
erward, when my knowledge Of the
world and its people grew. realized
that it was his natural refinement. He
played hockey from school, he cared
nothing at all for his books and he
was guilty OF all sorts of mischievous
pranks, just as Tom Sawyer is in the
book, but never heard q coarse word
from him in all our childhood ac'
quaintance.
Hannibal was a little town which
hugged the steamboat landing in
those days. If you will go down
through the old part of the city now
you will find IL much as 1t was when
was a child, for the quaint old
weather-beaten buildings still stand
proving how thoroughly the pio-
neers did their work. We went to
school, we had picnics, we explored

Mrs. Frazer said, "and she threw her
arms about me and cried:
Z" I know you, for I've seen your pic
ture, and father has told me about
you. You are Becky Thatcher. and
I'm happy to see, you.'
"And that" Mrs. Frazer said, twas
the first time, I really knew was the
original Of the character. although I
had suspected it for thirty years.
Clara Clemons, you know, even then
was a famous contralto, and Ossip
Gabrilowitsch, whose wife she is now,
was waiting on her at the time.
.'.It was a wonderful visit" she went
on. ..Mr. Clemens took me over Storm
field. 1t must have been tract of 800
acres. We went through the fields,
which were not fields at all, since they
were not cultivated. and across a rus
tic bridge over a little rushing brook
which boiled and bubbled among the
rocks in the bed of a great rayine, and
we sat down under a rustic arbor and
talked Of the old days in Hannibal
when he was a little boy and I little
girl, before he went out into the world
to win fame and before I lived my own
happy married life. Mr. Clemens had

that rare faculty of loyalty to his
friends which made the lapse of fifty
years merely an interim. 1t was as if
the half century had rolled away and
we were there looking on the boy
and girl we had been.
'.Mr. Clemens had won worldwide
fame; he had been awelcome guest in
the palaces of Old World rulers and
iionized in the great cities Of his own
country. He had been made a doctor
of literature by the University of Ok

he was II or IS he left Hannibal to go
to work in st. Louis. He never re-
turned to live, but he visited here often
in the years that followed" -.
Mrs. Frazer's own story formed the
next chapter of her narrative. A
young physician, DR.. Frazer, of Madi-
sonville, which was a little inland VII
lage in Rails County.s adjoining, came
often to Hannibal and courted pretty
Laura Hawkins. When she was 20
they were married and went to live in
the new house DR.. Frazer had built
for his bride at MadisonviIle. There
they reared two sons, until they re-
quired better school facilities, when
they went to Rensselaer,, also in Rails
County, but nearer Hannibal. They
lived In Rensselaer, until DIR. Frazer's
death, when the mother and younger
son moved to the General Candy farm.
This sons marriage led to Mrs Fra
zer's return to Hannibal twenty-five
years ago.. She was offered the po-
sition Of matron at the Home for
the Friendless, and for twenty-five
years she has managed it. The boys
end girls who have gone out from it
in nearly every case have become use
full men and women as a result Of
her guidance at the critical period of
their lives, for the girls remain in the
home until they are IA and the boys
until they are 12. The old mansion
which houses the score or more Of
children always there Is to be 'aban-
doned in the spring for a new and
modern building, gift from wealthy
citizen to the private charity which
has conducted the institution SO long
without aid from city, county or state.
It was given to Mrs. Frazer and
Mark Twain to renew their youthful
friendship after lapse of half a CEN
tury. In 1908 Mrs. Frazer made a trip
East, accepting an invitation to visit
Albert Bigelow Paine at .Redding.
Conn. Mr.. Paine had visited Hannibal
two years before in a search for mate
rial for his biography of Mark Twain
and had made Mrs Frazer's acquaint-
ance then. He mentioned the APP
preaching visit to the great humorist
and Mark Twain promptly sat down
and wrote Mrs. Erazeg that she mpst
