25. 600 Cheer Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt delivered his
eagerly awaited lecture on Citizen
ship in Republic" in the Sorbonne
in Paris. He received a remarkable
ovation. Every bit of room in the
big amphitheater was occupied and
the lecturer was repeatedly and en-
Enthusiastically applauded. Outside the
building fully $4,000 people, massed
in the streets, acclaimed the former
president as he arrived and again
when he took his departure
His audience was composed of all
OF the members of the French cabi-
net, 800 students selected from the
University of Paris and many distin-
guished guests, by whom the occasion
was regarded as the most important
feature of the distinguished Ameri-
cans visit to France.
In the course of his address Mr..
Roosevelt made reference to the sub
ject of human rights and property
rights in the following paragraphs:
MY position as regards the money
ed interests can be put in few words.
In every civilized society property
rights must be carefully safeguarded.
Ordinarily and in the great majority
of cases human rights and property
rights are fundamentally and, in the
long run, identical; but when il clear
ly appears that there is a real con-
flict between them, human rights must
have the upper hand: for property
belongs TO man and not man to pro-
perty.

THE PROPER PINE TO USE
FOR COUGHS AND COLD

Many pine extracts contain resins
causing nausea and cramps. For most
reliable and quickest results in curing
a severe cough or cold follow this
formula: Get two ounces of Glycerine
and half an ounce of Concentrated
Pine compound. Then get half pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into 1t. Take a teaspoonful
to a tablespoonful of'this mixture after
each meal and at bed time" But be
sure to get the genuine Concentrated
Pine. Each half ounce bottle comes
in a tin screw-top case. Any druggist
has it on hand or will quickly get it
from his wholesale house.

CAREER OF MARK
TWAIN HUMOR|ST
interesting Life of the Man Win
Made the World Laugh.
RIVER PILOT IN HIS YOUTH
Did His First Literary Work In Ne
vada-Sad Events That Clouded
His Later Years-A Clean
Life Record.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain" was born
in the little town of Hannibal. Mo-. in
November 80, 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
came from an old Virginia family, and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies 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 fished. hunted and
lounged 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 very studious disposi
tion. he learned far more from con-
tact with the rough companions whom
he immortalized in later years as
'Huckleberry Finn" and TON 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 fa-
ther.
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 few years he learned the
trade as a compositor, and in 1853 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 amount
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 un.
profitable from financial standpoint,
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of the
great river, In rather straitened cir
cumstances.
Becomes River Pilot.
The life of steamboat pilot had al.
ways appealed to his youthful magma
tion, and now that be 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 the tortuous 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

given to the governor that in the
event of a vacancy in the chief JUS

Gay night at Redding. CT. of angina

o'clock in the afternoon and never
recovered consciousness. IL was the
end of man worn out by grief and
acute agony of body. He was 20
years old
All hope OF recovery was aban-
doned when it was evident to the
physicians attendant upon him that
the patient was gradually losing
ground. He had been conscious
through practically all of his illness
and had considerable knowledge OF
his condition and of the fight that
was in progress.
His spirits kept up to the last. and
he tried TO joke little with those
about him. The physicians scarcely
expected that he would live through
the night, but in the early morning
he dropped off to sleep. The morn
ing hours gave him the best sleep
he had had since he returned home,
and he woke much refreshed.
Because of the benefit he had de-
rived from the nights few hours rest,
hope revived that after all he might
rally sufficiently TO prolong his life
by few days at any rate, even
though ultimate recovery seemed i'm.
possible. His condition remained
improved until early in the afternoon.
Throughout the forenoon he was
partially conscious, now and then
realizing his surroundings and oc-
cssionally speaking a few words to
express some wish or to ask a ques.
tion as to his own condition or mat.
