FRANCE MOURNS Twain
The Nations Debt to the Great
American HumoriSt.
TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES
Reasons for His Popularity with
French Readers-Effect on
Artistic Work.
Try Gable TO The Tribune.i

Paris. April 23.-The death of Mark
Twain has caused widespread regret In
literary circles here, where his genius
was held in higher honor than in per-
haps any other European country. This
is attributable to the fact that until
Mark Twain appeared on the literary
horizon France could not boast OF any
true humorists in the strict sense or the
term. Humor was supposed In France
10 be an Anglo-Saxon monopoly, the
French, on the other hand, excelling in
"esprit'-that is TO say, in delicate.
ironic wit and IN burlesque caricature.
The French even borrowed the word
humor from the English. and nave
adopted il into their tongue.
The first French humorist and founder
q IN. :r-lT' sting school of French humor-
lists was ...e late Alphonse ALIAS. whose
perfect knowledge OF English had en-
sbled him TO make profound study OF
Mark Twain's works. He caught and
practised the humorous style' and
method OF the American writer with
real success. and to Allais's lead another
great CcNhN
line, owes a willingly acknowledged
debt. Courteline is an even closer dis
ciple OF Mark Twain than was ALIAS.
for he has something OF Twain's quail
tiles Of charming description, pathos and
dramatic force, which the more bolster
Gus genius of Atlas lacked.
The great popularity OF Mark Twain's
method Of humor in France is further
explained by its essentially democratic
character, its aim being always to dig
pretension in the ribs and laugh sham
20 shame. II appeals particularly 10 the
French spirit OF to-day.
II IS a coincidence that the Salon of
Humorists opens its doors TO the critics
to-day, only a few hours after the great
American master Of humor has breathed
his last Here. too. the spirit of Mark
Twain has inspired a large number OF
the humoristic paintings and drawings
exhibited, notably those of Abel Faivre,
whose grimly democratic sense Of fun
makes of him a Mark Twain in black
and white, and also those of Maurice
Neumont. Albert Guillaume and Wfllette,
the last named being a humorist OF the
dramatic and pathetic order, whose own
life's. history has been on lines curiously
similar to those of the author Of
"Huckleberry Finn"

thing else 20 be regarded.
In the Bear view the record evidences
that suddenly sprOuted optimism does
not long abide. that artificial stimulation
dies out quickly And this is their thesis:

Speculative enthusiasm has vtlted under

IL seems 20 be a fair conclusion that
there is no immediate desire anywhere

demand Of the small investor who is will

THE FARMERS WIN.

Farmers in Kentucky have re-
eeived very recently the highest
prices ever paid for tobacco. The
result is due chiefly to the pools
formed by the Kentucky farmers to
fight the American Tobacco COmpa-
ny and many other large manufact-
uring concerns which for years had
bought tobacco at practically their
own prices, leaving the farmers bare
subsistence.
The public remembers chiefly the
night-riding that in some localities
attended this movement, but as to-
bacco is raised on 100000 farms in
Kentucky the per centage of violence
was small. The movement has been
attended by complete success, and
there is probably no other instance
on so large a scale in which farmers
have banded together, have main
salned their organization, and have
compelled great corporations to come
10 their term. The result woud nave
10 their terms. The result would have
night-riding. The invaluable ally of
the farmers was the country store
keeper, who in the first stages of the
fight carried their accounts for as
much as two or three years. Ken
lucky is now raising about 10000
600 pounds OF tobacco annually, and
the farmers are receiving now about
twice as much for their tobacco as
before they began their great fight.
1t is to be hoped that the victory
of the Kentucky farmers over the
great trust that sought to control
their product will have good effect
on the once flourishing tobacco in
dustry of South Georgia and Florida,
which has been paralyzed and prac-
tically abandoned the past year or
two.
