says, Reproduction 10 nothing more
than . growth OF the organism beyond
Its individual mass, which erects Q

TRIBUTE TO MARK TWAIN
The Greatest Boy of Fiction, the
American Boy, Who Knew
Human Nature.

What a man Mark Twain was, Be-
ginning as a barefoot boy in sleepy
Mississippi river town, a journeyman
printer with a little education and no
promise of future, river pilot, an
unlucky prospector, he became man
of worldwide fame and immense inf1u-
ence. His books have gone every
where, have made generations laugh
and weep. He was not only a great
humorist, he was man of high cour-
age and fine ideals, man who hated
shams and lies, and struck at them
iercely. He knew human nature,
laughed at its queer contradictions,
admired and respected its goodness
and kindness. Always he is intensely
American. without being provincial.
Not only did he have genius for
writing. He had genius for being
a man.
If, as a young man, he was inclined
to be too extravagant, too irreverent,
he conquered that tendency. He grew
in wisdom and in perception, and he
loved people, loved men and women
and children That is why we all
love him. There is a glow to him.
You can warm your heart at his
books, much as you warm your hands
at fire.
Mr. Gilbert Chesterton, the English
author. and a wit himself, says of
Mark Twain: "All honest people saw
the point of Twain's wit Not few
dishonest people felt it."
But to the whole world of youth
Mark Twain is Tom Sawyer, the i'm
mortal. boy. the greatest boy of fiction,
the American boy. and yet the es-
sential boy that links all boys of what
ever nationality together. Tom and
Huck-what more do you want.-St.
