His theory of the famed serpent of

Jewish Longing for Palestine.

AS long ago as 1866 Sabati Zevi set
the Jews of Europe preparing for a
return to Palestine. Not only the poor
er brethren. but even the rich mer-
chants of Venice and Leghorn were
seized by the excitement and for a
whole century the great bulk of the
people refused to be disillusioned. It
was not until the appearance of
George Eliot's Daniel Deronda" that
the Jewish nationalist movement re-
ceived another stimulus SO strong as
this; but in the meantime many
schemes were propounded, including
an attempt in 1854 to float company
"to enable the descendants Of Israel
to obtain and cultivate the land Of
promise" Various famous people have
been interested in the idea of estab-
fishing an independent Jewish king
dom. not necessarily In Palestine. The
Dutch West India Company tried the
experiment in Curacao. and Oliver
Cromwell did the same in Surinam.

He set to work, made Il lecturlng and

ten years had paid off his indebtedness

that time he had become so universally
famous that his work commanded its
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 a century of devotion to
the art of making people happy. For
several years he was simply hard

cia correspondent, searching for gold

THE LATE MARK TWAIN.
samuel L. Clemens.]

and therein lies the soul of politeness.
Those obsessed by the notion that 1t
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 boy hood home at Han
nibal in the summer OF 1902 he said
solemn things in the most dignified
manner possible. Several times he 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 q 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
beat.
His Many Personal Sorrows.
Mark Twain's life was not a rose
bed. lie 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 wanderlngs for the restoration Of

He Was Intensely Democratic.

Mark Twain was intensely demo-
cratic. He was easily approachable,
and he never emitted any bears growl
or Hons roar. Even the humblest per-
son was made to feel at ease in his
presence. Shrinking reporters sent to
interview him quit their shrinking and
puffed up when they found him as
easy to interview as the aspiring au-

slowed upon him was distasteful to
him he did not permit the fact to be
known. Mark Twain was one of the
politest men I ever knew. He was

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 a man; he was an in
stitutien. he was a sort Of neighbor-
Hood settlementsof good cheer, with
many branches located In the cases as
in the waste places, where admission
and refreshment were free to all. Mil
lions-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, a 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 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.
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 q 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
appea rance-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 adj
mitted its 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
pro fession. one can read between the
lines the inhering truth. He was an
inveterate foe to shanns 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 life-to boy life. Rudyard Kipling il
said to have remarked that he would
