SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.
It Can Only Be Had Where There Is
 No Dandruff.

Any man or woman who wants soft. glossy hair must be free of dandruff, which causes falling hair. Since t has become known that dandruff is a germ disease, the old hair prepar- ations that were mostly scalp irri- tants, have been abandoned, and the public, barbers and doctors, included have taken to using Newbro's Herr picide, the only hair preparation that hills the dandruff germ. E. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D., says: "Herpicide not only cleanses the scalp from dandruff and prevents the hair fall-s ing out, but promotes a new growth. Eerpicide keeps my hair very glossy.

MARK TWAIN
 KING OF HUMOR Comprehensive Estimates of Americas Late Literary Genius Whose Pen SWAYED THE WORLD Tribute Paid to His Ability, Kindly Philosophy, Droll Fun and
 PathOs.
SWAYED THE WORLD
(By Robertus Love).

Mark Twain is dead!
 The king is dead-long live the king! But there is no heir, either ap- parent or presumptive. The throne of humor, whose kingdom was the world, is empty. The scepter that swayed the universal heart-the pen --lies idle at last The empire of laughter and also of tears which this llng of the writing craft founded and which he fostered for nearly fifty years is become as whirling dust in the abyss of the things that were. On- ly there remains the heritage of the dead rulers kindly philosophy, his oroll fun, his quips and jestings and Lis pathos.
 Mark Twain became before he died the most famous man on earth. He was not merely man; he was an ln- slitution. He was sort of neighbor- hood settlement of good cheer, with many branches located in the oases as in the waste places, where admission and refreshment were free to all. Millions-how many millions is be- yond estimating-came and partook Of his wine of optimism and stayed for supper. His fame was and is uni yersal. Though an American born, native of Missouri, he belonged to all lands. He had travelled in all lands and lived in most of them. He had more near-permanent homes per- haps than any other man of his day. Nearly always he was wanderer, sometimes from necessity, more frequently from choice. The world vas his plaything, and he was not content without remapping for him. self the entire surface of the big ball.
 Of Most Striking Appearance.
 He was man of most striking ap- pearance-the kind that attracts at. tention anywhere in crowd and causes others to take second look. in his later years his shock-no, his crown-of hair, perfectly white and glossy like fine spun silk, became his trade mark of recognition by strang: CTS wherever he went. have seen a woman who never before saw Mark Twain pick him out without opera glasses, though she sat in the top gallery of Carnegie hall and he oc- eup1ed lower box near the stage, and the great house was crowded. He Tad no doubles as to personal ap- pearance-there was only one of him.

And there was only one of Mark : vain as a literary syndicate. It has become the fashion to describe him ts the great American humorist. This undoubtedly he was, but he was more. His appreciation of Joan of Arc, first published anonymously, is accepted Ey critics of acumen as one of the most refined works in the serious It. erature of the nineteenth century. he book won it's way before Mark Twain admitted it's paternity. While he was writing the Joan classic he worked, time and time about on that
 amazing funny masterpiece, "Pud- q 'nhead Wilson" He simply couldn't be serious altogether for a stated period.
 Never Altogether Funny.
 Nor must we take it for granted that Mark Twain, summing up his career as a writer, ever was altogeth- CT funny. He never was. He was enc of the closest observers of human nature and institutions, places and things, that ever lived Even in his most humorous books we find that he has made accurate transcripts of the things which impressed him. Though fe exaggerated, privilege belonging to his profession, one can read be- tween the lines the inhering truth. He was an inveterate foe to shams of every sort, and apparently knew his highest happiness when with droll sarcasm he punctured popular fraud with his pen.
 But Mark Twain often wrote books just because he had the story to tell. The tale of Tom Sawyer" is enc of these, and the "Huckelberry Finn book is another. Each cf these is true to life-to boy life. Rudyard Kipling is said to have re- marked that he would rather be the author of Tom Sawyer" than all of lis own works.
 .The Innocents Abroad. of course, always will be associated with Mark Twain's name as one of his most characteristic books, but that may be because it was his first big work and won for him the fame and the for :al, him fO yUrito what he pleased.
 Mark Twain's name was Samuel Ianghorne Clemmens, but it was used chiefly as vessel Whereon univer- sities hung LL. D. handles. He was "Dr. Clemens" three times over, but the distinction never spoiled him. With no school learning save such as le gained from few years attend ance at the village school in Hanni- ial, Mo-, his scholastic titles were earned by literary work which the whole world accepted.
 ts, He Was Intensely Democratic.
 Mark Twain was intensely demo- cratic. He was easily approachable. and he never emitted any bears erowl or lions roar. Even the humb- lest person was made to feel at ease in his presence. Shrinking reporters sent to interview him quit their shrinking and puffed up when they tound him as easy to interview as the aspiring author of the poem. pub- l:shed in the lower corner of the town weekly. He could talk on any topic. even the weather, and glorify it with his humor. If the insistent attention bestowed upon him was distasteful to him he did not permit the fact to ae known. Mark Twain was one or

the pOilteSt men I ever knew. He was considerate of the feelings of others, and therein lies the soul of polite ness. Those obsessed by the notion that it was impossible for Mark Twain to open his mouth without say ing something funny should revise their impressions of him. Tn the course of his last visit to his boy hood home at Hannibal in the sum- mer of 1902 he said solemn things in the most dignified manner possible. Several times he was so deeply touch- el by the pathos of the occasion, his meeting with boyhood friends then grown old like himself, his visit to the graves of his parents, that his voice quavered and broke, and the inevitable tears trickled down his face. He was overcome with emotion. conquered by tender sentiment, and those of us whose privilege it was to observe him upon these occasions went away with a new notion as to Mark Twain. He was not the mere jester, not the buffoon who sees ill life only the guffaws and works as- siduously toaevoke them in boisterous rfct of laughter. He was the man of feeling, the tender hearted old fellow tfe owner of a heart as gentle as any that ever beat.
 His Many Personal Sorrows.
 Mark Twain's life was not a rose Led. He walked no primrose path. lie encountered stumbling places and had steep hills of difficulty to climb And he had sorrows that bit and griefs that bludgeoned. At the close of his life, so far as relatives were concerned, he was almost alone in the world
 His best loved daughter, Susy, died ID America when he was in Europe. His story of her death in his autobio- graphy is a piece of pathos seldom surpassed. His wife, who was Miss Olivia Langdon of Elmira, N. Y., his companion for many years, died in Italy after vain wanderings for the restoration of her health. He built a big country home near Bedding, Conn, and settled down to continue growing old as gracefully as he could with his two remaining daugh- ters, Clara and Jean. In November of 1909 Clara married foreigner and went abroad to live. Jean was left vith him. On the day before Christ. mas, with a Christmas tree for her father trimmed by her own hands in cae of the rooms, Jean Clemens was found dead in her Dathtub, having been seized with an epileptic fit anj .'.owned

He set to work, made lec- turing and writing tour around the V orld and in ten years had paid off lis indebtedness and again was ahea: If the wolf. By that time he had be- come so universally famous that his work commanded its own price. Thereafter he could write or rest as ne chose, and he chose to write a great deal.

That the Oregon Trunk road
will be ready for service to Mad
ras by January l, 1911, is now
promised unless unexpected diff
ficulties arise. Grading from
the Columbia River south will
be completed, it is believed, by
Sept. l. Laying of rails will
then be begun and ballasting
will be done as fast as each mile
of track is laid. Thus it will be
but a short time between the
laying of the last rail and the
opening of the road for business.
Grading south of Madras toward
Bend is also being rushed and
the building of the road for that
distance will follow completion
of the line to Madras.
