LIFE OF MARK TWAIN" THE
GREAT AMERICAN HUMORIST
Early Struggles and Adventures, Fol-
Lowed by Years of Successful Liter
airy Work--Later Days Saddened by
Deaths and Financial Reuerses.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri-
cas- foremost humOrist and known the
world over as Mark Twain was born
in the little town of Hannibal. Mo. on
November 80, 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
anne from an old Virginia family. and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
ton, a descendant of the early settlers
OF Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
A~lleghanies in the early part OF the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncOuth environment of the
then little frontier town OF Hannibal
the famous author spent his bOyhood
days. Here he fshed, hunted and
lounsed along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living a healthy
outdoor existence. which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life. in the face
of his many affections.
He attended the little school, but
not being of a very studiOuS DISPOSE
ton, he learned far more from con
tact with the rough companions whom
he mmortalized in later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and tom Saw
yer" and others Of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought to a
sudden close by the death of his ia
Their.
His older brother. Orion S. Glenn
ems. was the proprietor of a printing
shop in the village. and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as a printers devil" In the
course OF a few years he learned the
trade as a cOmpOsitOr, and in 1888 he
left his native town and began a wan
dering existence. He ~jOurneyed from
place to place. working at his trade in
New York and the principal cities of
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast mount
of experience during his travels, which
proved of the greatest value in the
preparation of some of his works in
later years, this period was rather I'M
profitable from a financial standpoint,
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of the
great river. i'm rather Strengthened cir

ton, and now that he had grown to
manhood, he resolved to realize his
ambition. He was fortunate enough to
become a pupil of Horace Bixby. and
he was soon guiding the awkward
river craft along tn, t%OrtuOus channel
OF the muddy stream.
The idea of his becoming an author
had never entered his mind at that
time, but he absorbed enough OF the
pilot life to enable him to describe the
difficulties encountered in guiding a
boat along the great river in his Life
on the Mississippi River" which he
wrote many years later.
First Literary Work.
In 1862 he began his first regular
literary work on the staff of the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise. He wrote a col
m daily, dealing with the political
situation in the state, that attracted
wide attention. These articles he
signed with the nom de plume Mark
Twain" which he had heard sung out
on the Mississippi steamers to let the

quite a stir in that part of the cOun-

His letters were published from time

a Joint defendant with Erb.
The litigation grows out OF the for
nation of a liquidating trusteeship OF

In general the allegations are that Erb.

of his deals the interests of the mem.

other the recent purchase the Chi
