WILL TAFT VETO
 BILL THAT CARRIES
 ALL THE "PORK?"
{ Special from United Press

Washington, April 22.-With the river and harbor bill carrying SEA- 00O, ,00O in the hands of a conference committee today, Senators and Rep resentatives interested in doubtful claims in the measure, are anxious over the possibility of the President yetoing #.
 It is no secret that the grand total of the appropriations does not meet with his approval and that he has particularly strong objections to a nunberof items in the bill
 His disapprova1 of the rivers and harbors bill would throw the present session out of joint and, unless the bill should be passed over his veto, might keep Congress here until long in the summer. With the political storm clouds hanging low the mem ters would hardly risk going home without their pork"

 London, April 22.-Next to Ameri- ca. England probably feels Mark Twain's loss more keene1y than any other nation. He was a great favor ite in England and was feted on his visits to England as few Americans have been.
 The newspapers all speak eulogisti- cally of him and give him the highest place in contemporaneOus American literature. The Standard calls him '-The American Chaucer"
 Berlin, April 22.-According to the Berliner Zeitung, Mark Twain had a greater hold on the German public than all the English and French humorists combined. His death is conceded to be a loss to the entire literary world.

 He followed that theory in life. The shock of the sudden death of his clos est friend, H. H. Rogers, was miti- gated by his fatalfsm. In the same manner he accepted the sudden death His final word from Bermuda, cabled the day before he was carried onto the steamer to be brought home to die, throws characteristic light on the working of his mind when he must have realized that he was mortally stricken:

 On another occasion after reading a message telling of the run1or that he was dead, he smiled and said:

Indianapolis, April 22.-'It is hard to imagine Mark Twain dead man. said James Whitcomb Riley, today. His humor was based in a great de- gree on his inherent honor for he was sterlingly honest, sound, brave and stern lacking any measure of -af- fectation.
 Mark Twain was peculiar genius. While a jealous scholar, it was told of him that he could not learn in school. He had to take the books and dig learning from between their was necessary for him to understand French and he would emerge from his study for several months perhaps, but he mastered the language.
 ''He had great dramatic genius.
 His Prince And The Pauper' is 9 splendid example. His stern, yet affection and he had a broad know1- edge of humanity.
 q first met Mark Twain when I was with Bill Wye, s.kcut 20 years ago in Boston. Twain was very fond Of Nye At late supper one night Twain was interrupted while telling story by the arrival of a telegram. After glancing at the message he ex- cused the delay and finished the story to a splendid ending. Then checking the laughter he said: And now want to read you this telegram which tells me that my invention of a type setting machine has succeeded and is in operation first tonight
 'tI think that shows a, trait of Mark Twain to take things as they come,'' concluded Riley.
 MiddIetown, Conn.,, April 22.-Gov- ernor Frank B. Weeks of Connecti- cut today said of Mark Twain: } *tHe was unique writer and his works were a delight to young and old. His death leaves a serious va cancy in American literary endeavor.'' 7

claims that he had the champion garden
of Vermont last season. On one-fourth

1000 head to feed to his fowls; sold
eighteen bushels of potatoes July at

own use and for seed. In addition to
this he kept eighty. two Plymouth Rock
hens from which he sold $50 dozens of
eggs for good prices, sold forty pounds
of fat fowls at Christmas, at twenty
cents pound. He also raised a large
amount of ornamental flowers, as he is
an expert florist and landscape gardner.
Besides these things he found time to
attend to his store. dispensing groceries,
lunches, soda and other things.
Our friend Calvin laughs at the idea
OF abandoned farms, saying: People
abandon their farms because they don't
my w WIN. wy pace was abandoned
by three parties who paid good money
for it: the high water used to dro wn
