Samuel Langhorn Clemens, the i genial, gentle humorist known the J world over as "Mark Twain," passj ed away at his home at Redding, Conn, Thursday, April 21,1910, 6:30 p m. The great American hu- ' morist was about 75 years old, having first seen the light of day at Florida, Missouri, in 1835. The immediate cause of his death was I heart disease, probably brought on by excessive smoking, his daily j allowance having been thirty to forty strong cigars for over 30 years. The life of "Mark Twain" was almost as wonderful as some of the writer's mock-serious imaginative stories. How he began life ' ( without money-and with but limited , education and yet found the way ' to fame and fortune such as have been enjoyed by few of the world's great literary men of genius,reads like romantic fiction. Starting out in life a tramp printer, young Clemens tramped all i through the West, finding employ-:' ment in newspaper offices just long; enough to prepare himself for a fresh start to the next town. It was while a peripatetic printer that one day he announced to his employer that he intended to leave. ' On being asked for a reason, Mark's ' characteristic reply was "that he11 was tired working between meals." j The name "Mark Twain" was taken from the call of the river pilots sounding the depth of the channel. The great writer spent ! several years just before the war ] on the Mississippi river and finally < became a pilot himself. ] Mr Clemens' first step to fame < was his book "The Innocents < Abroad," a book of travels over 1 Europe and the Holy Land by a 1 ^ ^ -'-x- L. - 1 company 01 tounsis wnu wem i over in the steamer Quaker City. 1 His best known works besides the J "Innocents" (by many still consider- ] ed his best book) were: "Life s on the Mississippi," "A Tramp 1 Abroad," "Roughing it," "The 1 Gilded Age," "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthuf's Court" s and his late productions: "Follow- 1 ing th?. Equator," "Eve's Diary" i and "Joan of Arc." < Samuel Clemens was the soul of ' honor. When he came to be an old s man the publishing house he was i connected with failed?through no 1 fault of his, however?and swept away all his fortune leaving the firm nearly $100,000 in debt. At his advanced age he resolutely went to lecturing and writing and paid every dollar of the debt. Recognizing his literary genius Yale University gave him the de-' 1 gree of LL D in 1901, and in ( 1902 the University of Missouri, < his native State, conferred the same ( honor, while the great English uni- 1 versity of Oxford gave him the title of Litt D., with which but few 1 American writers have been honor- i ed. ( Four children were born to Mr i and Mrs Clemens, of whom two died i early, and one, an invalid all her ^ life, was found dead in her bath-tub i last year. Only one daughter sur- 1 vives him, Mrs Ossip Gabrilowitsch. The remains of the great Amen- J can were laid beside the gra\e of his wife whom he loved so well, at Elmira, New York, Saturday followin? his demise. On his wife's tomb he wrote: "Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here; Warm summer wind, Blow softly here. Green sod above, Lie lightly light; 3 Go* d niglit, dear heart. j Good night, good night." l The Demon of The Air i is the germ of LaGrippe, that, , breathed in, brings suffering to ; thousands.

Nearly everybody in town went i out to the base ball park Friday af-! ternoon to witness a match game of ball in Which the married men of the i town were pitted against the young-1 sters who exist in a state of single blessedness. As might well be imagined, the contest was exciting from j start to finish, but the men who upheld the honor of the estate of mat-1 rimony went in to win and truly did they achieve a notable victory .for in | their opponents were found "foe- 1 men worthy of their s; > WViprp so tp* ~ nlavs i ' were made rTTvould be inviu :s to [ ? make ment n of bright, par' ,-ular stars. Thv batting of Mr Tom Mc-j Cutchen for t <? "married men" was' a feature of ..he game, and W T Wilkins' twc-bagger aided materially i.i cinching the victory for the winning team. The battery work of; Jennings, Fairey and Jacobs for the married men and Smith and McCabe, for the celibates were "away up in G" throughout the game. Judge Wallace?although himself a benedict?rendered his decisions with the same judicial fairness that marks his rulings on the bench. At the end of nine innings of stirring play, the score stood 10 to 14 ^ in favor of the married men. | 01GB SCHOOLS "GEI STATE AID.
