Until now no one outside the family has known the facts. Colonel Higginson had a place near by, and Abbott H. He would go to the arena between times and have captivesand wild beasts brought out and turned in together for his specialenjoyment. Clemens occasionallyplanned excursions to Bermuda and other places; but, remembering thebilliard-table, which he could not handily take along, he abandoned theseprojects.

I can truthfully testify that neveruntil the last year of his life did he willingly lay down the billiard-cue, or show the least suggestion of fatigue. And in a notation, on a letter praising him for what he had done for theworld's enjoyment, and for his splendid triump the University of Missouri does not aim to confer anhonor upon you so much as to show her appreciation of you.
