Mark Twain's Great Aehievement. After an absence of five years [ark Twain has returned to .merica, and ha:; been suffering averely at the hands of his proud nd hospitable countrymen. He aves himself by occasionally for etting an engagement, but hence orth even that device will be utile, inasmuch as men are told ff to keep him to his appoint nents. The reason for this great nthusiasm is not far to seek. When Mr. Clemens left the Unied tates, five years ago, it was witlh ,he avowed intention of paying Lhe debts which he voluntaril. assumed of the defunct publish ing house of Charles L. Webste & Co., in which he was a partner The amount of these has bee1 stated as in the neighborhood 0 $200,000. At the age of 60 year Mark Twain set out to Mak enough money by a lecturin tour around the world to pa' these debts of honor. He starte r Australia and New Zeland an followed the English-speakir 0r colonies around the Eastern coi tinents to England. Before lea ing Vancouver he made a stat ment in which he said: "The la recognizes no mortgage on man s brain, and a merchant wi has given up all he has may ta advantage of the laws of ins vency and start free again f himself. But I am not a busime man, and honor is a harder mas than the law. It cannot comp -se for-less than 100 cents the dollar, and its debts nel outlaw" Mr. Clemens paid ev< ent of his indebtedness, hei the enthusiasm of his compatri --.Y Y. School Journal.
