New York, March Mark Twain has
touched on a great deal more than the
springs Of humor. He Is not only fun
ny man. but a real humorist.
Pictures Of life that are veracious and
truthful are necessarily moral.
Mark Twain Is one OF the great figures
OF literature.
Great men win no critical recognition in
their own time. II took hundred years
after Cervantes' death for the world to
know that Don QuiXote' was a great
story.
Persons who attain 10 sudedn popular
ity rarely sustain their reputation for
very long.
