Hew He Lived lt-Funeral Services
Were Simple.

then removed to this city. escorted
by large number Ct prominent peo-

were named. The service here occurr-
ed from the home of General Langdon
a relative by marriage, of Mr.. Glenn

Twitchell of Hartford, Conn, in which
the life of the great humorist was
most eloquently reviewed.
It was announced here this even
ing by F. A. Duneka, of Harper Broth
ers, Mr.. Clemens publishers, that a
memorial service would be held within
the next fifteen days.
The whole city of Elmira joined in
the funeral service today and few

His Many Personal Sorrows.

Mark Twain's life was not a rose
bed. He walked no primrose path He
| encountered stumbling places and had
| steep hills of difficulty to climb. And
he had sorrows that bit and griefs that
bludgeoned. At the close of his life,
so far as relatives were concerned he
/! was almost alone in the world
i His best loved daughter Susy, died
in America when he was in Europe
His story of her death in his autobiog-
( raphy is piece of pathos seldom sur
passed. His wife, who was Miss Olivia
Langdon of Elmira. n. Y, his compan-
lon for many years, died in Italy after
vain wanderings for the restoration of
| her health. He built a big country
| nome near Rcdding, Conn.,, and settled
| down to continue growing old as grace
| fully as he could with his two remain
| ing daughters, Clara and Jean. In No
yember of 1909 Clara married a for
eigncr and went abroad to live. Jean
was left with him On the day before
| Christmas, with a Christmas tree for
her father trimmed by her own hands
in one of the rooms, Jean Clemens was
found dead "a her bathtub, having
been seized with an epileptic fit and
drowned.
When Mark Twain was fifty years
old and worth about $1O00U0U a pub
fishing firm in which be was part
ner became bankrupt. He lost his for
tune and was involved heavily in debt
He set to work. made a lccturing and
writing tour around the world and in
ten years had paid off his Indebtedness
and again was ahead of the wolf. BY
that time he had become 50 universally
famous that his work commanded its
own price. Thereafter he could write
or rest as he chose, and he chose TO
write much
Marx Twain's writing life began in
his pilot days and continued up to his
death-haf Il century Of devotion to
the art of making people happy. For
several years lie was simply Il hard
working newspaper reporter and spe-
cial correspondent, searching for gold
in Nevada anG California between jobs
at journalism which grubstaked him
for prospecting, But he found his
purest and most paying streak Of ore
when in 1867 he wrote "The Jumping
Frog of Calaveras County" That
story, picked u in mining camp, was
his first promising literary prospect.
He had struck the mother lode.
Printer, pilot, reporter, humorist,
novelist, philosopher-he is safely en-
balmed to enduring fame.

With no school learning save such as
he gained from a few years attend
ance at the village school in Hannibal
No, his scholastic titles were earned
by literary work which the whole
world accepted.
He Was Intensely Democratic.
Mark Twain was intensely demo-
cratic. He was easily approachable,
and he never emitted any bears growI
or lions roar. Even the humblest per
son was made to feel at ease in his
presence. Shrinking reporters sent to
interview him quit their shrinking and
puffed up when they found him as
easy to interview as the aspiring au-
thor Of the poem published in the low
er corner of the town weekly. He
could talk on any topic, even the
weather, and glorify it with his hu-
NOR. If the insistent attention be
slowed upon him was distastcful to
him ha did not permit the fact TO be

Never Altogether Funny.

Nor must we take it for granted that
Mark Twain, summing up his career
as writer, ever was altogether funny.
He never was. He was one of the
closest observers Of human nature and
institutions. places and things, that
ever lived. Even in his most humor-
GUS books we find that he has made
accurate transcripts of the things
which impressed him. Though he ex-
aggerated, privilege belonging to his
profession, one can read between the
lines the inhering truth. He was an
inveterate foe to shams of every SORT.
and apparently knew his highest hap
piness when with droll sarcasm he
punctured a popular fraud with his
Mark Twain's name was Samuel
Langhorne Clemens, but it was used
chiefly as a vessel whereon universi-
ties shung LII. D. handles. He was
"Dr. Clemens" three times over. but
the distinction never spoiled him.

y -: 20 Acres

Contracts for cumcumber growing
by tho students of the different public
schools Of the city during the coming
summer which are to be sold this
fall to the pickle station to be
erected IN this city, were circulated
at the different schools Wednesday,
and a number of them have been
signed for the boys by their parents.
The youths have responded to the
opportunity offered them to earn a
little money during vacation in such
q manner that it may be necessary to
place more land at their disposal
John Vertin and N. Moran have been
kind enough to turn over from Is to 20
acres of their S0.acre tract near
Athletic park for the growing of the
pickles, and are willing to allow the
use of that much more to the
students for this purpose. according
to MIR. Vertln. As this is close to

WILL START NEXT WEEK
Expected that New: Shaft
Will BE Placed IN Mill
by Wednesday

The Pine Tree Manufacturing com
pany will be unable to start up its big
sawmill until about Tuesday or
Wednesday, 1T having been decided to
have a new shaft made to take tho
place of the broken one, as it would
take almost as much time to get the
one located in Minneapolis into shape
as 1T would to get new one.
The big steel shaft was cast in
Chicago and shipped to Minneapolis
the first of the week, where it is now
being turned and put in shape for
installation. It weighs nine tons,
and, it can be guessed, will give con-
siderable trouble to those who are to
handle and install 1t. The work ia
being rushed on it, and everything
IS in shape at the mill for its quick
installation when it arrives here.
The accident to the shaft was tho
worst the local sawmlll bas ever
sustained to it's machinery, and it has
since been learned was due to a con-
siderable extent to equalization. it
having been in use ever since the big
mill commenced saving here.

COUNTY ASSOCIATION
Will Likely be Formed to
Aid Northern Mimi. De-
velopment Association

W. r. Mackenzie, of Bemidji,
secretary of the Northern Minnesota
Development association, was in the
city Wednesday interviewing q number
of the members of the commercial
club, in regard to the organizing of a
county branch to aid the work of this
excellent undertaking.
The association work IS to forward
the interests of this part of the
state especially, and Unlisted in the
work are thirty counties, of which
Morrison is, or should be, one. Such
matters as e.apportionment, use of
state money in its own boundaries,
and roads, and innumerable other
matters are to be pushed.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Crookston June l, 2
and g., and Morrison should be
properly represented.
Mr.. Mackenzie, one of those live
wires needed in all communities,
stated that all of the thirty counties,
with the exception of three or four,
have organized county associations,
and he believes that the Crookston
meeting will be even more largely
attended than the first Que which
was held at BemidJi.
The matter will be taken up at
the meeting of the Commercial club
next Monday evening, and there is no
question but what steps will be taken
at once to organize county assocla-
tiOn.

NATION hONORS POLES
Monuments to Pulaski and
koSciuszko Unveiled
in Washington

Washington, NAV 12.-Kepresenta-
tives of the 8, 600, 600 members of the
Polish National alliance of the United
States yesterday joined inthe unveiling
of monuments of Gen. Caslmir Pulaski

States.
President Taft yesterday paid tri-
butte to the foreign soldiers. He at
tended the unveillng Of the statues of
Pulaski and Kosciuszko, the former at
Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue and the latter in Lafayette
Square. Mr. Taft delivered the eulogy
at tie Pulaski statue, while Secretary
of War Dickinson was the principal
sneaker at the Kosciuszko ceremonies.
President said in part: 1T is idle
to speculate what might have been the
success Of American arms IN the was
of the revolution had we not been as
sisted by foreign nations and subjects
of foreign nations. It is sufficient for
us to note that those who assisted us
in that struggle of ours for indepen-
dence and liberty contributed materi-
ally to our success and it IS appropri-
ate that we should give enduring evil
dence of our gratitude to those who
sympathized with us IN that struggle
and aided us in bringing about the in.
dependence which has made the
progress of our country to its present
stage possible. Hence to Pulaski, to
Koscluszko, to Lafayette, to Roch.
ambeau, to Won Steuben to DeKalb
and to others. it is fitting that there
should be erected monuments like this
to have it understood that America 10
grateful and holds in sweet memory

danger and of trouble. -."

ARRESTED FOR RIDING on
SIDEWALK.

The police got busy late yesterday
morning and within few minutes of
each other arrested two bicycle riders
for riding on the sidewalks. Both
were taken before Justice Randall,
pleaded guilty, and were fined 81 and
costs, total of 81 each. The chief of
police made the arrests and stated
yesterday that he not only would go
after vio]ators of the city ordinances
in regard to blcyclists, but auto.
mobilists who exceed speed regulations
as we'll. If the matter is taken up with
all seriousness there is likely to be
wholesale arrests to start with, as
violators of both have been in abun-
dance to date.
