Of Most Striking Appearance.

He was a man of most striking ap-
pearance-the kind that attracts atten-
ton anywhere in crowd and causes
others to take a second look. In his
later years his shock-no, his crown
Of hair, perfectly white and glossy like
fine spun silk, became his trademark of
recognition by strangers wherever he
went. ! have seen woman who new
er before saw Mark Twain pick him
out without opera glasses, though she
sat In the top gallery of Carnegie hall
and he occupied lower box near the
stage, and the great house was crowd
ed. He had no doubles as to personal
appearance-there was only one OF
him.
And there was only one Of Mark
Twain as literary syndicate. 1t has
become the fashion to describe him as
the great American humorist. This
undoubtedly he was, but he was more.
His appreciation of Joan of Arc, first
published anonymously, is accepted by
critics OF acumen as one Of the most
refined works in the serious literature
OF the nineteenth century. The book
Won its way before Mark Twain ad-
United it's paternity. While he was
writing the Joan classic he worked,
time and time about, on that amazing
funny masterpiece, "Pudd'nhead Will
son." He simply couldn't be serious
altogether for stated period.
Never Altogether Funny.
Nor must we take it for granted that
Mark Twain. summing up his career
as writer, ever was altogether funny.
He never was. he was one of the
closest observers Of human nature and
institutions. places and things, that
ever lived. Even in his most humor-
GUS books we find that he has made
accurate transcripts Of the things
which impressed him. Though he ex-
aggerated, privilege belonging to his
profession, one can read between the
lines the inhering truth. He was an
mveterate foe to shams Of every sort.
and apparently knew his highest hap
piness 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 one of
these, and the "Huckleberry Finn"
book is another Each Of these is true
to hfe-to boy life. Rudyard Kipling Is
said to have remarked that he would

his droll fun. his quips and jestings
and his pathos.
Mark Twain became before he died
the most famous man on earth. He
was not merely man; he was an in
stitution. He was sort of neighbor-
hood settlement of good cheer, with
many branches located in the cases as
In the waste places, where admission
and refreshment were free to all. Mil
Hons-how many millions is beyond
estimating-came and partook of his
wine of optimism and stayed for sup
per. His fame was and is universal.
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 perhaps than any
other man of his day. Nearly always
he was a wanderer, sometimes from
necessity, more frequently from choice.
The world was his plaything, and he
was not content without remapping
for himself the entire surface Of the
big ball.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1910-04-27

and therein lies the soul Of politeness.
Those obsessed by the notion that it
was impossible for Mark Twain to
open his mouth without saying some
thing funny should revise their i'm
pressions Of him. In the course Of his
last visit to his boyhood home at Han
n1bal in the summer of 1902 he said
solemn things in the most dignified
manner possible Several times be was
so deeply touched 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 in life only
the outlaws and works assiduously to
evoke them in boisterous riot of laugh
ter. He was the man Of feeling, the
tender hearted old fellow, the owner
of heart as gentle as any that ever

His Many Personal Sorrows.

Ills Many Personal Sorrows.
Mark Twain's life was not rose
bed. He walked no primrose path. He
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
| In America when he was in Europe
His story of her death in his autobiog-
raphy is piece of pathos seldom sur
passed. His wife, who was Miss Olivia
Langdon of Elmira. N. Y, his compan-
ion for many years, died in Italy after
vain wanderings for the restoration of
her health. He built big country
home near Redding, Conn.,, and settled
down to continue growing old as grace
fully as he could with his two remain
ing daughters, Clara and Jean. In No.
| vember of 1909 Clara married for
eigner and went abroad to live. Jean
was left with him. On the day before
Christmas, with a Christmas tree for
her father trimmed by her own hands
IN one of the rooms. Jean Clemens was
found dead in her bathtub, having
| been seized with an epileptic fit and
drowned
When Mark Twain was fifty years
old and worth about 100000 a pub
| fishing firm in which he was part
ner became bankrupt. He lost his for
tune and was involved heavily in debt
He set to work, made a lecturing and
writing tour around the world and in
ten years had paid off his indebtedness
and again was ahead Of the wolf By
that time he had become so universally
famous that his work commanded it's
own price. Thereafter he could write
or rest as he chose, and he chose to
write much.
Mark Twain's writing life began in
his pilot days and continued up to his
death-half century Of devotion to
the art Of making people happy. For
several years he was simply a hard
working newspaper reporter and spe-
cial correspondent. searching for gold
in Nevada and California between jobs
at Journalism which grnbstaked him,
for prospecting. But he found his
purest and most paying streak Of ore
when in 1867 he wrote ''The Jumping
Frog Of Calaveras County" That
story, picked up in a mining camp, was
his first promising literary prospect.

NEW YORK. July 81 should be
very sorry IL IN honest desire to Fay

This was what Frederick Tench, of
the contracting firm OF Terry G. Tenoh,
said when asked why he had advertised
for the addresses OF several of the
creditors Of the firm of w. e. Tench
& Sons. which failed In 1888.
For twenty years 1t has been the
dream Of Mr.. Tench to gather all the
creditors of the old Tench Arm and pay
them what his father and he owed
when they went down to financial ruin.
When his father died he left the obli-
cations to his son as a sacred trust.
Now his dream is being realized, and
thousands Of dollars are being sent to
men the Tenches were unable TO pay
at that time, with accrued interest. Mr..
Tench is a member of the firm which
built the Manhattan bridge and Is now
at FORK on the Pennsylvania railroad
terminals.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, July 9-Official figures By
the United States government indi-
eating that 100, 900, 600 bushels of wheat
has been destroyed by drought In the
last month sent prices up today 1%0s
cents to 3h cents. The jump In quota
lions was accompanied by excited
trading, and would probably have heer
much greater but for the fact that rain
was at last reported as falling some
what generally in the Dakotas and
Minnesota, where the worst damage
has been inflicted by the prolonged dry
weather. On the other hand. 1t was
pointed out that the government repor,
covers the loss only up to last Satur-
day, and that much injury additional
has necessarily resulted since.
A big advance at Liverpool and ad'
missions there that the government
report had exceeded all builish esti.
mates by foreigners tended to increast
excitement here. Proft-taking, how
yer, by holders of wheat assumed iarg,
proportions, and the market accordingl,
receded TO a considerable extent from
top figures, Opening prices we're fhs

the limits named, the option steadied
at 104.

Oats, unlike corn, was a one-sided
affair. Buyers were decidedly active,
as in wheat. September started " TO q
up, at 1894 to 40, and reacted to 1914.
Provisions were stronger on pur-
chases by local spectators. The open

gain was not all held. First prices for
the September option were: Pork,
