Florida is one of the important
States of the United States, but
there is a little town of the same
name. 1t is Florida, Mo.
On a November day in 1885,
baby was born in the little village
of Florida. which at that time con-
tanned less than 300 people. The
infant was Samuel Clemens.
The father Of the family was a
lawyer whose work brought him
only small income. The mother
was a kindly woman who had
special fondness for animals. At
one time, we are told, she had l9
cats in her home
Little Samuel spent the first four
years of his life In the village where
he was born. Then the family moved
to Hannibal, village so miles
away. Besides Samuel, there were
five other children in the family,
two of them girls.
In the later years of his life,
Samuel Clemens did not remember
much about the village where he
was born. About Hannibal, how
ever, he remembered a great deal.
Much of what happened there was
to go into books he was destined to
write.
Samuel became leader of small
band Of boys. They spent much
time swimming in the Mississippi,
which flowed past Hannibal. Some

The boys made Journeys to islands
in the Mississippi. One island in
that part Of the river is now called

There was no boy named Tom
Sawyer in the group, but there was
one who may be called the original"
of Tom Sawyer. That was no other
than Sam Clemens. He was to
grow up and be a famous author.
writing under the pen name Of
Mark Twain"
The boys liked to visit a cave near
Hannibal. 1t was q very large cave
and had chambers with stalactites
hanging from the ceiling. You will
find things about the cave in Mark
Twain's book called "Tom Sawyer"
The character called Indian Joe"
in that volume did not really die in
the cave, but at one time he was lost
while wandering around inside. To-
day the caven is known as "the Tom
