A Former Resident of Columbia
Writes an interesting Letter
From Denver, Col.
Editor Adair County News:

down this morning | found OF
my desk various accounts of tn,

Mark Twain, Samuel L. Glenn

throughout the world. To re
member Mark Twain's writings
ever replete with humor n {
originality, and himself likewise
and then to think of his great
personal grief and the heroic at.
tempts he made to subdue it, fills
one with unutterable pathos.
In reading over the newspaper
articles l was much interested by
tn e following interview given
out by Judge C. G. Goodwin, the
veteran editor, OF, Sat- Lake City,
and published in the Rocky Noun
tain News, in which h e says:
Mark Twain lacked but six
months and nine days of four
score years of age. I know he
claimed to be only rs, but when
we were in Virginia City, Neva-
da. Mark was older than | was,
and ! am 70. Here is the record
for it," and he opened a book of
biographies by Amelia ] Carver,
published in 1889, and in which
was written Samuel l.. Clemens,
born November 80, $780, In
reading the above comment re-
garGing the age of Mark Twain,
I was remided of the fact that I
had heard some of the older resi-
dents of Columbia say, in days
gone by, that they had known
Mrs. Clemens, the mother O
Samuel L. Clemens, very well
and that she had at one time
either lived or visited in Column
bia. I am curious to know if
my memory is correct in this
respect, and if Mrs. Clemens was
a very old lady at the time.
In commenting upon the litera-
ry powers of Mark Twain, Judge
Goodwin says: HE was a mar
velous humorist, and his books
never became S a lie, because
through them there is woven a
wool of royal good sense; under
meath his humor was held i n
leash many of the attributes of
a statesman. Except for his
overpowering sense Of humor he
might, in another channel, have
won fame as a leader Of men.
Samuel L. Clemens, known
throughout all civilized nations
as Mark Twain" will, unques-
tionably, be remembered through
the ages as one Of Americas
most distinguished geniuses in
the field of literature, and he
was distinctly our own. II is

States, however, this fact will
mean very little after he has
been home a short while, as he
will then be judged politically by
his own department and express
sions. 1t is a we'll understood
fact that the friends of Colonel
Roosevelt believed that during
the interim between the expira-
ton of bis last term and the time
for another election it would be
necessary for him to do some
thing unusual to hold the atten-
ton and interest of the Ameri-
can public. It is evident that he
has fulfilled all requirements in
this respect, and when the Elk
President again touches these
shores he will be hailed with
much acclaim. 1t is the opinion
of a great many that Mr.. Roose-
welt is anticipating with much
eagerness a triumphal tour of
the United States within a year
after his return, or during the
year | should say. There has
been a great deal of dissension
among some of the Republican
leaders of late and if. at an OPP
perfume moment, there should be
the slightest hitch and anything
go wrong, the Democrats, if
alert, would be able to take adj
vantage of the most brilliant OPP
portunity offered in several years
and most likely elect a President.
1t is also a safe conjecture that
ere the time comes for the as
sembling of a convention the
Democratic party will have de-
veloped some strong and likely
Presidential material. Let us
hope that we can decide upon
man that can and will lead us to
a splendid victory.
The athletic world is just now

There seems to be somewhat

that such a state of affairs will

Theodore Roosevelt is expected

quarters. In my opinion it would
be unwise to make a prediction
at this time as to who will be the
choice of the Republicans in the

very little information just now
