ball in which the married men of the
town were pitted against the young
sters who exist in a state of single
blessedness. As might well be imag-

start to finish, but the men who up
held the honor of the estate of mat
rimo ny went in to win and truly did
they achieve notable victory for in

GREAT HUMORIST DEAD.
Mark Twain Passed Away Last
ThursdayAfterL Lingering Illness.


Samuel Langhorn Clemens, the
genial, gentle humorist known the
world over as Mark Twain" pass
ed away at his home at Redding,
Conn, Thursday, April 2l, 1910, $50
p m. The great American hu-
morist was about Is years old, hav-
ing first seen the light of day at
Florida, Missouri, in 1885. The
immediate cause of his death was
heart disease, probably brought on
by excessive smoking, his daily
allowance having been thirty to
forty strong cigars for over 80
years. The life of Mark Twain"
was almost as wonderful as some
of the writer's mock-serious imagi-
native 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 worlds great
literary men of genius, reads like ro-
mantle fiction.
Starting out in life tramp
printer, young Clemens tramped all
through the West, finding employ
ment in newspaper offices just long
enough to prepare himself for a
fresh start to the next town.
1t was while a peripatetic printer
that one day he announced to his
employer that he intended to leave.
On being asked for reason, Marks
characteristic reply was that he
was tired working between meals.
The name Mark Twain was
taken from the call of the river
Iilots 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
Europe and the Holy Land by a
company of tourists who went
over in the steamer Quaker City.
His best known works besides the
"Innocents" (by many still consider
ed his best book were: Life
on the Mississippi" "A Tramp
Abroad" "Roughing it, The
Gilded Age" "A Connecticut
Yankee at King Arthut's Court
and his late productions: Follow
ing tn. Equator, Ewes Diary
and Joan of Arc"
Samuel Clemens was the soul of
honor. When he came to be an old
man the publishing house he was
connected with failed-through no
fault of his, however-and swept
away all his fortune leaving the
firm nearly 100000 in debt. At
his advanced age he resolutely
went to lecluring and writing and
paid every dollar of the debt.
Recognizing his literary genius
Yale University gave him the de-
gree of LII D in 1901, and in
1902 the University of Mis- souri,,
his native State, conferred the same
honor, while the great English uni
versity of Oxford gave him the
title of Lift D., with which but few
American writers have been honor
ed.
Four children were born to Mr.
and Mrs Clemens, of whom two died
early, and one, an invalid all her
life, was found dead in her bath-tub
last year. Only one daughter sur
wives him, Mrs Ossip Gabrilowitsch.
The remains of the great Ameri-
can were laid beside the grave of
his wife whom he loved so well, at
Elmira, New York, Saturday follow
in 2 his demise. On his wife's tomb
he wrote:

Shine Kindly boro.
