(Lmtmnial quick-servic- e WATSON HE other night President Roosevel touched a golden key in Washing ton and out in the Middle West, from a high bluff overlooking the Mississippi river, a white shaft of light pierced the darkness. For a moment It streamed across the black waters of Old Man River, then It swung around and flooded the statue of two boys, then passed on to Illuminate an old two story frame house and a board fence near by perhaps the most famous board fence In the world. Thus was Inaugurated the beacon service of a memorial lighthouse which will henceforth shed its rays across the Father of Waters every night to guide rivermen along its winding, treacherous current past Hannibal, Mo. And thus began a years celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known to the world as Mark Twain. For the bluff on which the memorial lighthouse stands is Cardiff Hill, the scene of many of the escapades of Tom Sawyer and "Huckleberry Finn, and the statue which It first Illuminated was the statue of those two Immortal characters which he created. The little house on which its beams next played was his boyhood home and the fence was Aunt Pollys board fence, the whitewashing of which was such an Inestimable friends were privilege that Tom Sawyer's willing to give up such youthful treasures as broken knives, apple cores and dead rats lor that high honor. Gathered In Hannibal for this celebration were many notables, and others besides President Roosevelt participated in it from a distance. From Detroit came the voice of Clara Clemens Gabrllowltsch, daughter of the Missouri writer and wife of a famous violinist Gov. Guy B. Park of Missouri tried his hand at whitewashing that famous fence, while several hundred school children looked on, and speakers at the ceremonies dedicating the memorial lighthouse extolled the man whose beams of humor have lightened the burdens of people all over the world even as the beams from the beacon on Cardiff Hill will lighten the way for boatmen on the Mississippi. At various times during the year there will be other celebrations In Hannibal and at other places connected with the career of Mark Twain to honor the centennial of his birth. They will come to a climax on November 30, his birthday, at which time, on a site yet to be chosen, will be unveiled the Mark Twain memorial, designed by Walter Russell, the sculptor (a part of which is shown above). This memorial, perhaps the greatest ever erected to an American author, is exto consist of seven groups of 21 tending around a circle 700 feet in diameter. Seated In the center of it is the figure of Mark Tom Twain surrounded by his brain children Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher, The Aunt Polly, The Prince and the Pauper, Connecticut Yankee, Joan of Arc, and many others. In Hannibal they are collecting Mark Twain relics for their museum in the house In which he grew up and they have placed bronze tablets on other places connected with his life there. At the foot of Cardiff Hill stands the statue of "Tom and Huck and on the highest point in their Riverview park stands a statue of Mark Twain himself, erected by the state of Missouri in 1913. But the citizens of Hannibal who built the new lighthouse as a guide to river traffic feel that of all their memorials to him it is perhaps the most appropriate For Clemens was once a pilot on the river (his Life on the Mississippi is essentially an autobiography of this part of his career) and frequently he heard the leadsman calling out the depth of the water with the cryptic cry of Mark, twain !, meaning two fathoms, or 12 feet From that cry came the pen name which made Sam Clemens famous all over the world Mark Twain. Pilots of today, seeing the flashing of the new beacon on Cardiff Hill, will recall perhaps the statement of Mark Twain that in his day there was neither light nor buoy to be found anywhere in all this 3,000 or 4,000 miles of villainous river. But that was changed not long after Clemens retired from the river. He tells of returning to the river after 21 years to find that the glamorous days, when the river was bustling activity, were gone. In a whole day only a single steamer passed by and the spyglass revealed the fact that she was named for me perhaps the first memorial to the Hannibal boy who had gone out into the world to become famous. In contrast to conditions on the river as he knew them, he tells how "the government has turned the Mississippi into a sort of torchlight procession . . , there is always a beacon In sight, either behind you or before you, or abreast . . . this thing has knocked the romance out of piloting, to a large extent But even though another beacon has been added to the long chain of them, no doubt Mark Twain, if he could know, would be pleased that the latest memorial to him should be such an eminently practical and useful one as this lighthouse at Hannibal is. 2,000-mil- e But Hannibal Is not the only Missouri town that honors the memory of Mark Twain. For the little town of Florida, Mo., where he was born on November 30, 1835, has a monument, surmounted by a bust of tts famous son, standing in a square plot in the center of the town. Near the town, too, is the Mark Twain Memorial park, which was dedicated as a state park in 1924. Later the cabin in which he was born was moved from the village to tills park and a permanent shelter house was built for 1L Restored to its original condition, it contains furniture of an early day and other mementoes of the time when it was occupied by the Clemens family. Another reminder of Mark Twain in Florida is the old cemetery which contains the graves of two of his sisters and of John Quarles, his uncle, at whose farm home a few miles from the village the youthful Sam Clemens spent his summers. When young Sam was twelve years old, his father died. John Marshall Clemens was an improvident storekeeper and lawyer, a dreamer and a chaser of rainbows who had drifted from his birthplace In Virginia to Kentucky where he married Jant Lampton, then tf Tennessee and finally to Missouri where he was a failure to the end of his days. So the boy had to go to work to help support the family of eight brothers and sisters. He started to work in a printing office where he stayed for two years. Then he worked for his brother, Orion Clemens, who was editing the Hannibal Journal, for several years. Seeing no future in Journalism, young Clemens at the age of nineteen left home to seek his fortune elsewhen He first went to New York and then to Philadelphia, but, becoming homesick he started west again. He went to Keokuk, Iowa, where his brother, Orion, was then living and stayed for a while with him. There he read a book which fired him with a desire to visit South America. The only drawback was that he had no money. By some strange chance a vagrant wind dropped a $50 bill at his feet He advertised in the paper for its owner. But no one claimed it so, three days later, he left town, as he said, to take that money out of danger." Clemens next drifted to Cincinnati and, traveling on a boat down the Ohio, he persuaded the pilot to teach him how to steer it Continuing on to New Orleans, still with the. idea of going to South America, he found that the next boat would not be leaving for that continent for several years. So he decided to make piloting his life work, an idea which had taken root in his mind when, as a boy in Hannibal, he had played along the banks of the Mississippi and watched the steamers go up and down that stream. His pilot's license, which is still. preserved in the files of the steamboat inspection service of the United States Department of Commerce, was issued to him on April 9, 1859. On an April day two years later occurred an event which was destined to end his career as a pilot Fort Sumter was fired upon and the War Between the States began. Clemens is said to have been the last pilot to bring his boat up the river after the opening of hostilities. He was shot at and hauled in for examination at St Louis, aftei which he went on to Hannibal where he Joined a Confederate home guard company whose members called themselves by the imposing name of the Salt River Tigers." The story of Mark Twains brief military career as a member of this organization, as told In the book "Absalom Grimes: (Yale University Confederate Mall Runner Press) Is almost as funny a story as any which Clemens himself ever wrote. After three or four weeks service with the Tigers, Clemens went on to Keokuk to visit his brother again. Orion had Just been appointed secretary of Nevada territory and was starting for his new post He took Sam along with him to be his secretary and this trip overland from Hannibal to Nevada furnished the material for one of Twains most famous books, Roughing It Offered a Job as city editor of the Daily Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City, Mark Twain again took up the pen which he was no! again to lay down for long. From Nevada Mark went on to San Francisco and began writing for the newspapers there. Tht same ability, which had been noted In bis boy hood, aa being such a liar that his family could believe nothing he said, was turned to telling the kind of tall yarns which the West and West erners could appreciate. So his writings were soon attracting wide attention on the Pacific coast. Then he wrote an article and sent it to an eastern magazine. Watching anxiously to see if it was printed, he was mightily disgusted when it appeared over the signature of Mike Swain. His handwriting had been so poor In the signaMark ture that the editor had translated Twain thus But an omen of his future was given and a landmark in literary history was established a little later when he visited the San Francisco mint and there told a young writer named Bret "in a slow rather satirical drawl Harte a story so says Harte. That which was irresistible, story, which appeared later in a New York newspaper, was The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. While in San Francisco Twain had a chance to go to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, and he went, sending back such vivid dispatches that the world for the first time realized that a new literary genius had appeared above the western horizon. Soon afterwards he came back to visit his mother In Keokuk and, later going on to the scene of his boyhood days in Hannibal, he was made to realize that for once the old saying about a prophet being without honor in his own country was far from true. Hearing of an excursion to the Holy Land, Mark decided to go if be could do it as the correspondent for some paper. The Alta California of San Francisco was the lucky Journal that secured his services and its publication oi his travel sketches met with Instantaneous suc1 cess. Later his stories of this trip were published in book form and, according to one biographer, a short time later salesmen might have been seen offering a book with the recommendation that it was as funny as Artemus Ward. It was, but it was more serious, too. The Innocents Abroad was akin to The Jumping Frog in solemn sincerity of manner, but In this book, the quick-eye- blunt-speakin- g westerner had a sub- No one had ever written about Europe In this way. No one had inquired of the stunned guide: Is Columbus dead 7 Or wept at the tomb of Adam. Mark Twain had donned his suit of motley.

Oxford conferred upon him the degree of D. C. L. strange largesse to the boy who had thrilled to and whose permanent ambition had been to stride its deck as captain. Another result of the European tour which produced Innocents Abroad" was that It won him a wife as well as literary fame. the trip Clemens met Charles J. Langdon of Elmira, N. Y., who showed him a picture of his sister, Olivia Langdon. Twain promptly fell in love with the ject ... pictured face. Later he eagerly accepted an invitation to visit the Langdon home and the flame of romance ignited by the picture burned higher when he looked upon the girl herself. Love had passed Mark Twain by during his bachelorhood and there was but one romance in his whole life that with Olivia Langdon. They were married in 1870 and went to Hartford, Conn., to live. On the morning of his wedding Twain received a check for $4,000 from his pub Ushers a promising beginning for a young married couple. After his marriage he began to write steadily.
