In of be to better where among this hurrying mass there are a few sweet spirits, who can retreat to seques- thehurryand rush of life, in tered spots and allow the genius of the mind to play upon life's harp and bring forth music to the soul. Xo matter how great the resources of the world may be, her richest and most precious treasures will ever be the work of gifted souls. Many build halls and is may genpalaces, but it ius that adorns them. America is mourning now one of her most gifted sons Mark Twain but he has left his country so rich a legacy that though his soul has crossed the bar, his name is emblazoned ever in the book of fame. . It has riot, perhaps, ever occurred before in the history of the world that a man's genius should be so marked in the line of humor. The musician, the painters, the writers of greatest fame for ages past, are those who have taken th serious, the grand, the divine, the magnificent themes of heaven and earth for subjects. Then what ha3 Mark Twain done? Why, he has made the world happy, he has made the world laugh. The busy financier on the train to some important gathering has forgotten all his anxieties and sat in silent laughter, perusing the pages of "innocence Abroad" 60 lost in the mirth of the folded leaves that the porteL has tafecall him to his normal condition when it is time to leave the train. The tired laborer, after the evening meal, too tired to sleep, refreshes his soul with a chapter from "Roughing It," and after a hearty laugh has aided his digestion, lies down to pleasant dreams. The helpless invalid in the roller-chai- r sits in the park or on the beach and forgets the pains and sufferings of the body and chuckles over the discomfitures of "An American Client," while busy men renew their boyhood, and school boys make laughter ring over the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn. Women and girls are stirred to their souls over the heroic story of "Joan of Arc," as told by Mark Twain, and all through the many volumes where mirth and humor reign, is such a strain of true philosophy, and such a high ideal of the lighter vein of life that one loves the man who thus portrays and gives to us the silver lining instead of the murky clouds. One of the brightest stars in America's constellation is Mark Twain, and when we talk of monuments to great men let us not forget the man who made the world to laugh. A. W. C. riOTrlER'S DAY.
