The Progress that "Mark Twain
soon must die. for death is the le-
Ultimate end Of all flesh; but the
TACT that this master genius who
has carried Sunshine into MANY
hemes into many hearts in many
Nations, must himself now lie a
sufferer from the lack of that which
he once distributed so copiosly.
The world is better because Mr..
Samuel L Clemens lived, because
"Mark Twain" wrote, and his
works will live long after the.
spirit has gone to it's eternal home.
May his last hours be without
pain aud his soul be at perfect rest
is the earnest wish of this paper.

What grim irony there is in a
college which is not only under
the principalship of an ordained
