men that raised him to the highest
rank in literature and caused his name
to be inscribed on the tablets of en-
during fame
He revelled in the picturesque: he
painted pictures Of boy life which
shall be vivid when the canvas limned
by art has fallen into time worn
shreds; he delighted by droll accounts
OF travel; he portrayed with striking
vigor and truth new types and condi-
tons for all the world to see. HUI
morist, essayist, novelist and poet,
he was universal genius whose loss
will seem the greater with the lapse of
years.
No Genealogical Tree
1t may be that Samuel L. Clemens
always was like the Vizier of the Two
Horned Alexander of whom Frank R.
Stockton so blithely told. Did he not
weep at Adams tomb? Did not he
himself trace his forebears back to
Noah, as he tells in his autobiogra-
ply? Did not his ancestors while
away their years in the sunny land of
Spain?
The reasons fer his not being more
particular in tracing out his descent
we're, first, because he was indolent,
and also that he had been so busy
polishing up this end of the line and
making it snowy" as he wrote, that
the had no time for the diversions of
genealogy.
He recalled wildly his first birth
day on its SEVENTEEN anniversary,
which was celebrated at Delmonico's
in 1905, and told Of the cradle not
having been whiteWashed and of be-
ing surrounded by persons green with
jealousy.
Feeling then and there that he was
the only really moral person in all
that community, he lifted I'D his
voice and said so. This declaration
of principles was made on Nov. 80,
1885, for this was the date on which
he first saw the light in the little town
of Florida, Mo.
A Tribute to His Wife
Between Mr.. and Mrs. Clemens
there was ever romantic sympathy,
and she perhaps better than any one
else understood the variant moods of
his complex nature.
Her epitaph, which he wrote and
caused to be placed on the simple
marble headstone Of her grave at Ell
mira, breathes the exquisite tender
ness Of his thought of her. 1t reads:
Warm summer sun
Shine kindly here!
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here!
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light
Good night, dear heart!
Good night! good night"
Mark Twain's permanent fame is a
structure which is likely to rest upon
the foundation of individual preference
among his readers. There will always
be those who will think there is nc
such human comedy as 1.-The limo
cents Abroad" Others will rest their
admiration upon tom Sawyer" and
"Huckleberry Finn" others upon "a
Yankee in King Arthur's Court, -
"Roughing IT. and "Pudd'nhea Will
SON. Others will believe that the
best thing he ever did is the biograph-
ical romance of Joan Of Arc"

FUNERAL OF MARK TWAIN
Body of Philosopher and Hunnorisi
Lies Beside That of His Wife

Elmira, N. Y, April 25.-Under a
tent on the Langdon plot in Woodlawn
cemetery, with rain beating fiercely
against the canvas cover, little
group silently watched as the body OF
Samuel L. Clemens was lowered into
a grave beside the bodies of his wife
and children.
Rev. Samuel E. Eastman, close
friend of the late humorist, conducted
brief and simple service, and Mark
Twain's final pilgrimage was at an
end.
At the grave were only members OF
the family party who came from New
York with the body, former gov
erness of the Clemens family, two of
her friends, the sexton and half a
dozen newspaper men.

London, May king Edward VII,
who returned to England from a vaca-
ton ten days ago, died at HAS
o'clock last night in the presence of
his family, after an illness of less
than a week, which was serious hard
ly more than three days.
One of the last utterances attributed
to King Edward was: We'll, it is all
over; but | think have done my
duty"
He seemed then to have reached
full realization that his end was fast
approaching.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without Of
fetal ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death,
in pursuance to custom. His tele-
gram read:
Il am deeply grieved to inform you
that my beloved father, the king,
passed away peacefully at 11:45 to-
night. George"
The physicians soon afterwards is
sued their official bulletin, which was
as follows:
May D, l1:5O p. m.-His Majesty
the King breathed his last at HAS to-
night, in the presence of Her Majesty
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, Princess Royal
the Duchess of Fife. Princess Victoria
and Princess Louise, the Duchess OF
