tractive picture. In manner
she was quiet. with quaint, old
fashioned ways. She was an
elegant and beautiful woman"
Miss Tip Sanders, of Louis
vile. a niece of Marshall Glenn
ems, in speaking of her aunt,
said: "She was considered
beautiful woman all her life,
was a beautiful old lady, WITH
white hair that curled naturally,
very fair complexion, hazel eyes,
and rosy cheeks, even in her old
age. Some of my friends here
asked me if she did not paint
her cheeks; it was all natural.
She was rather witty in CONVEX
sation, but drawled her words
out rather long. and Mark Twain
is very much like her in that re-
spect. She was very fond of
dress, even to the last years of
her life, aud always wore beauti-
full fancy white caps trimmed
with lace and ribbon. She was
very proud of her children. es-
pecially of her celebrated son."
Mrs, Clemens lived to be
lightweight years old. She
died about seven years ago at
the home of her son in Keokuk,
Iowa, and was buried at Hanni-
bal, Mo-, by the side of her hus-
band"
The letter from Mark Twain,
referred to above, is as follows:
Vienna, Austria, Feb. 3.
Thanks to the Courier-Jour-
nal for printing the biographette
of my mother. There were two
small errors in it. She lived to
enter her eighty-eight year,
and my fathers name was John
Marshall Clemens. named after
the great Virginian.
Ever truly yours,
Mark Twain"

in print mention of the name of
Jane Lampton?" And yet she
deserves to be remembered.
Who. may be asked was, or is,
Jane Hampton and what are her
claims to recognition? Three
quarters of a century ago she
was a bright and beautiful school
girl in the town of Columbia.

in which she moved, admired and
loved most by those who knew
her best.
Columbia was then, as it has
remained since, the seat of re-
fined and cultivated community,
and Jane Hampton enjoyed all
OF the advantages to be found
there. She is described as a
beautiful girl, with curly, auburn
hair, hazel eyes, fair complexion,
and rosy cheeks. An old citizen
of the town, honored and infu-
entail in his day, and who was
one of her admirers, says of her;
"She was the prettiest girl ever
reared in Columbia, with the ex
ception of my wife," and he al
ways said of her, that "she was
the prettiest woman he evel

fore. She was travelling IN a
railroad car, when two GENTLE
men, who..occupied a seat mined
lately in front of her, without
knowing of her relationship to
the great humorist and writer,
engaged in a warm discussion as
to his birthplace, one insisting
that he was born in Missouri,
and the other no less strenuously
declaring that he was born in
Columbia, KY. Mrs. Clemens
listened to the discussion for
some time in silence, but at last
concluded that she would set
them right. She quietly ad-
dressed them and told the Co.
lumbia man that he was mistak-
en-, that Samuel Clemens mark

her Kentucky brother wrote and
invited her to come with her
children, and make her home
with him. She accepted the
kind invitation, and removed to
Kentucky, and there she again
met her former lover, Mr..
Hancock. The old flame was re-
kindled, the handsome matron
was as lovely in the eyes of the
pioneer as had been the bloom
ing maid in the years gone by,
and he had grown to her in true
manliness and courage; he re-
newed his addresses and was &C.
cepted, and the late Mrs. Glenn
ems became Mrs. Hancock. Thus
in the providence of the Lord,
as the preachers would say, it
was brought about that John
Marshall Clemens met Jane
Hampton, and welded her in the
quiet old town of Columbia. He
came with his mother when she
removed to Kentucky.
Sometime after their marriage
the young couple removed to
Gainsboro, Tenn, where their
eldest son, Orion, was born

was known far and near for its
generous hospitality and good
cheer. The young people of the
surrounding counties congregat-
ed there on Christmas and other
holidays for music and dancing,
and among the fairest of the
fair, and the gayest of the gay
who joined in these festivities,
were Jane Hampton and her sis
ter, Patsy,
Among the many admirers of
Jane Hampton, Marshall Clemens
was the favored and fortunate
one. His mother was Miss Pa
melia Goggins, of Virginia.
There is something of romano
connected with her life. Back
in the old State she had two suit
ors, Samuel Clemens, MARK
Twain's grandfather), and ST.
mon Hancock. With honorable
rivalry they sought her heart
and hand. She chose Mr.. Glenn
ems, and they were married.
Five children blessed the union,
John Marshal Clemens being one
of them. Simon Hancock, the
rejected lover, was not a man to
sit down and repine over his il
fortune. He resolved to seek &
respite for his sorrows in new
country. He turned his back OF
his disappointment, and took hi

"Waacs' Proud of Their Battle Casualties

LONDON, May 1o.--The first British
women who, wearing their country's
military uniform, ever have been
wounded in battle returned from the
fighting zone in France few days
ago and are now being nursed at a
Red Cross hospital in London They
are all "Waacs." otherwise members of
the now famous "Women's Army Aux
iliary Corps" and the whole corps is
proud of having members on the cas-
ualty list.
The "Waacs" have occupied an espe-
cially prominent place in the limelight
of late, not only by reason of the fine
account Of themselves which they have
given in the course Of the great battle
still raging, but because of a persistent
campaign of calumny directed against
these plucky girls--a campaign, how
ever, to which it appears likely that
the final quietus has now been given.
Not long after the present great Of
fensive Of the Hun began all sorts OF
wildcat rumors of disaster to the
"Waacs" began to circulate At home
Hundreds Of them were said to have
been brought home wounded.
Then sinister report to the effect
that large number of the Women's
Army Auxiliary Ceps had been capt
