By ROBERTUS LOVE.

1T was Jesus Of Nazareth who said
in an age when prophets were
u many, "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country
and in his own house." In all rever-
ence it may be averred that the reser-
Yatlon contained in the last clause of
This saying is not applicable to Mark
Iwa1n. Here was prophet with
honor not only throughout the world,
but to far more intensified degree in
his own country and in his own house.
Even in the house where he lived in
hoyhood and in the town and state
which may be called Ibis own coun-
try" Mark Twain was not without
honor during his lifetime, and now that
he has passed from earth as living
presence his memory is to be honored
and perpetuated in tangible form.
f; The state Of Missouri and the city
of Hannibal, which lies upon the Mis-
souri, bank of the mighty Mississippi,
are joining hands just now to do hon.
or to their prophet, who once good ma
turedly resented the characteristic
OF the first Missourian" on the ground
that he was mot so old as all that"
Even without such tangible evidences
OF the former residence of Mark Twain
In Hannibal's midst, the city where he
spent his boyhood, which is the scene
of many episodes in his most famous
books and which he loved as a father
loves a child, will be always a Mecca
for the pilgrims who elect to worship
at the shrine of the creator of Tom
Sawyer, Injun 10, Huckieberry Finn
and other fctional characters who are
almost as much alive as is little Tom

KAISER SPOILED HIS TRADE.
Wanted Only Auto Horn In Existence
Like SamnIe

Like Sample.
An orchestral instrument maker of
Markneukirchen, in Saxony, has dis
covered that the patronage of the Ger
man emperor is not an unmixed bless
ing. Three years ago he invented an
automobile horn which sounded four
notes. The first one he finished in
pure silver and presented to the kai-
Ser.
The kaiser was so delighted with
the new instrument that he gave i'm
mediate orders forbidding anybody
else to lave one like it. The inventor
found this compliment too much of a
business dra wback to enjoy for more
than very brief spell.
For the last three years he has been
doing his utmost to get permission to
manufacture the instrument for the
general public. He has just succeeded
in securing special decree from the
federal council Of the empire whereby
motor horns of four notes may be en-
ployed by motorists when touring in
the country, but it continues to con-
stitute misdemeanor to use such a
horn in towns or cities, where it will
remain the exclusive privilege of the
kaiser.
The king Of Saxony recently outbid
the emperor by ordering the Markneu-
.kirchen manufacturer to construct for
him a horn with six notes. Princess
August Wilhelm, one of the kaiser's
daughters-in-law, has a motor horn
which performs a melodious theme.

same Mississippi river and others
AUDITING other American streams. But
to the Hannibal resident there is only
one Lovers Leap, and that is the rag
ged, Jagged, rocky, but precipitous and
picturesque bluff that rises sharp and
sheer 265 feet above the level of the
river, with railroad trains laundering
and factory machines whirring in the
narrow strip below on the very bank
of the stream.
This Hannibal Lovers Leap is dis
tinct from all the others. Each has it's
legend of the pretty Indian maiden
and her dusky lover who hurled them
selves from the edge Of the bluff be-
cause pater or mater or both forbade
because it is associated with Mark
Twain's early life and with some of
his most popular works:
Shrunk With Age.
The present writer we'll remembers,
the very last time Mark Twain visited
his home, how the humorist lay in bed

smoking a black cigar and looking
from his southern window through the
matchless glory Of a June morning
down across the gorge of Bear creek to
a certain bluff that jutted up from
the rivers edge. He gazed and gazed
and was silent. Finally he said, slow
~ and with perfect pathos:
''I'm looking for Lovers Leap, and I
reckon that must be it; but, oh, how
much smaller it is than it was when I
was boy"
Then he smoked and smoked and
was silent. I stole softly out Of his
room. That was the only thing I
ever stole in Hannibal, but felt that
was justified.
And so it is this Lovers Leap, the
one that was beloved by Mark Twain
through more than threescore years
of his wandering life, which is 10 be

many years as the original of Injun

other great American humorist, who
remarked that the American people
like to be humbugged.
Mark Twain's Narrow Escape.
On that last visit to Hannibal Mark
Twain was nearly killed by the people
with kindness. Living on one square
| meal day to ward off his ancient
enemy, dyspepsia, he was invited to
| about twenty breakfasts, luncheons and
| dinners daily during the week he
spent there. He found it necessary, in
order to preserve his life a few years
longer, to appoint several gastronomi-
cal proxies. One of his understudies
in this line, l can assure the good
housewives of Hannibal, was founder
ed for ten days afterward and really
never yet has quite regained the JOY
full appetite he possessed in earlier
youth.
Hannibal, in truth, is the home OF
good cooks and generous hospitality.
Judge Sydney J. Roy, secretary and
literary light of the Commercial club,
has written: 1T is a city of homes
People live rather than reside or board
in this river metropolis" Commercial

of her shoe factories and her cement

by the fame of her most famous citi-
zen, who moved in as boy and went
back as an old man after he had
made himself world noted under an as
sumed name. 1t was something worth
while to hear those old fellows calling
him Sam, and 1 verify believe that
until that last pathetic visit "home''

in his opinion there is no finer river
