Fame Came with Lectures.
With Mark Twain's lecture trip
around the world began his interna-
tional celebrity, and his gradual rise
into a figure taken in some sense to
typify the American spirit. From hui
morist he became the kindly but mock
ing moralist and philosopher of Pud-
dinhead Wilson. His literary output
became more occasional and, though
written with more finesse, more crit
ical and less creative. His public ap-
pearances grew more frequent, his
whimsical utterances gained greater
currency, and a whole literature of
anecdotes about him grew up.
Yale gave him the degree of NJ. A,
and later of L. H. D., in 1901; the Uni
versity of Missouri, his native state,
followed with LII. D., in 1902, and in
1907 the University of Oxford with
great ceremony made him Lit. D.
Indeed, serious appreciation of Mark
Twain as an artist and not a mere
jokesmith began abroad, but his true
worth has long been recognized in this
country. MARK Twain's humor," said
William Dean Howells, will live for
ever. He portrays and interprets real
types, not only with exquisite appre-
citation and sympathy, but with a force
and truth of drawing that makes them
permanent. He had the true humor-
lists tender heart and deep serious
ness. Like Bret Harte, with whom he
worked, like the great west that bred
him, his most audacious sallies were
terse- and sternly grave AS a NOR.

fastened the End.
Four children were born to Mark
Twain, of whom two, son and a
daughter, died early. One other daugh-
ter, Jean, who had been an invalid for
life. was found dead in her bathtub
last fall in her home at Redding, Conn.
Her tragic death greatly saddened her
father, who declined in health from
that moment. A third daughter, Clara,
is Mrs. Ossip Gabrilovitch, wife of the
pianist, whom she married last year.
Mark Twain's first book was the
Frog. His best known in this
country was possibly Innocents
His surest title to fame is
generally believed to be Tom Sawyer
and it's companion volume, The Adven-
lures Of Huckleberry Finn. In all, his
books had a sale of more than SOC. 900
copies and were translated into six
languages. Others among the better
known are: A Tramp Abroad, the
Prince and the Pauper, A Yankee at
the Court of King Arthur, Puddinhead
Wilson (dramatized) Joan of Arc. A
Doublebarreled Detective Story, and
Ewes Diary. He left an unfinished an

RUBBER IS HIGHER
Another Advance in Crude Ma
terial of 10 Per Gent Is
Announced.
SPECULATION PART CAUSE
Scarcity Due to Demand for Auto
Tires Claimed to Be Leading
Factor.

New York, April 22.-Rubber and
rubber goods continue to soar sky
ward in price. Announcement was
made yesterday by the United States
Rubber company, which controls the
industry in this country, of an advance
of approximately 10 per cent on the
crude material. This will be followed
by increases in the prices of the whole
sale dealers, jobbers and retailers on
rubber goods of every description.
Manufacturers informed a reporter that
advances Of from to IS per cent have
been made during the last year upon
various grades of rubber goods. Rub
Der coats, boots, bands, druggists sun
dries, surgical accessories, artificial
limbs and other products containing
rubber will cost more in the future.
Doubled I'm Price.
Automobile tires are selling for
twice as much as they brought in the
retail market last September and an
other advance of from 10 to 25 per
cent is predicted.
Colonel 8. P. Colt, president Of the
United States Rubber company, said
that the continued increase in the
prices of the crude material and man
ufactqred rubber goods is due to nat
ural conditions and not to- the specula-
ton in rubber and shares Of rubber
companies, which for weeks has been
the feature Of the London market.

W. H. Yule, general manager Of the
Goodrich Rubber Tire company, said
that over-speculation in foreign mar
kets was partly responsible for the
increase in prices. A. A. Marks OF 701

limbs. announced that the product of
his plant would be increased in price
because Of the additional costs OF man
