Hecould not dream thatoneday his work would stand in Chinese, in Russian, in Italian, in Polish, in German, in Yiddish, and in many languages he could not read and from humble doorman to proudest emperor, all would be gladdened at his coming. Hecould not know that through it all he would remain as simple, as democratic, as he was that day as a boy on the Mississippi.

A Children We Loved Him Thev ay that children know the inwardness of things. A child knows the heart cf a man. We as children instinctively knew Mark Twain was so much greater, so much truer than anybody else that there was no one to compare htm with. Now, grown up, we know the reason why. He had the heart of a child; hr had the ftyic cf a master; he had a character of rare beautv.

The Great American He was American. He had thi idealism of America the humor, tht kindliness, the reaching toward a bigger thing, the simplicity. In his work we find all things, from the ridiculous in "Huckleberry Finn" to the sublime of "Joan of Arc," the most spiritual book that was ever written in the English language, of serene and lovely beauty as lofty as Joan herself. Amar. who could write two such books as "Huckleberry Finn" ind "Joan of Arc" was subiime in powir. His youth and his laughter are eternal, his genius will never die.

Mark Twain wanted everyone in America to own a let of hi bot-k;. So one of the last things he asked us jtjs that we make a set at so low a price that everyone night own it. He said, "Don't make 6ne editions. Don't make roition to sell for $zx and $oo and ?iooo. Make ixxl books, hocks good to look at and easy to read, and T.ake their price low." S i we hare made this set. And up to now we were able to st 11 it at this low price. But a thins has happened that Mark Twain could nor foresee.

Paper and Ink Go Up Before the war we had a contract price for paper. But now the price of paptr has gone up. It has almost doubled in price. Even the price cf ink has gone up.

WASHINGTON FEARS WAR WHEN MANN FILIBUSTERS Coimrtsiiiii Summoneil From Theaters C'h relics ami Bctls Gets Citv AVnr Miul.

WASHINGTON. Feh. 1 Ii. Filibustering by Republican Leader Mann, Wednesday night, against a

bill to give a democrat instead of a

republican a non-salarjed membership on the hoard of governors of

the National Soldiers home kept tne

house in session until nearly midnight, caused scores of members to be haled from bed, theaters and

churches by the sergeant-at-arms and gave rise to widespread reports

that congress was dealing with a new international crisis. As reported by a majority of the military affairs committee, the bill

would have retired Fred J. Close of

Kansas City, Mo., chairman of the board, and named Rep. HelverinR of Kansas, a democrat, as his successor. Rep. Anthony of Kansas, objected, declaring that last July the committee had favorably reported the name of George W. Finley a republican of Topeka, for the place. During the argument that followed the democrats substituted the name of Col. George W. Black, a democrat of Olathe, Ka?.. for that of HelverIng. Then Rep. Mann started a filibuster to prevent a vote. Speaker Clark ordered the arrest of absent members after persistent points of no quorum and i-ergeant-at-arms Gordon began summoning them by telephone, messengers, and deputies. Announcement in various theaters that members were wanted immediately at the house, coupled with reports earlier in the day of the torpedoing of an American ship started wild war rumors. Between roll calls the house and spectators In the galleries were entertained by choruses led by Reps. MeeJer of Missouri and Burnett of Alabama. When the majority Anally decided to adjourn for the night, the previous question had been ordered, putting the bill in position for a vote Thursday.

Before the steamer departed at i o'clock, the former ambassador held a final conference with Minister Ritter of Switzerland, who has assumed charge of German interests in this country. Got Wagonloads of llowcrs. Count von Bemstorff. his wife and o'.her members of his suite, received several wagonloads ol flowers and bon voyage gifts. The ambassador was so appreciative that he sent ashore a signed statement through Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port of New York, in which he said : "1 cannot refrain from a last expression to the American people for the wealth of llowers and gifts sent to the countess and myself. It is hard to tell of the good will sent us both. No expression of uratitude vould be adequate to speak an affectionate farewell." Ambassador IKcply AiTcm-UmI. There was many a German citizen aboard the Frederick VIII., who sailed away with tears in his eyes. The ambassador himself, deeply affected, remained away from the rest of the party as much as he could in the excitement which usually precedes the sailing of a great ocean liner. There were others in the party who tried to do the same thing. s:ome went immediately to their staterooms as soon as they had boarded the ship early Wednesday morning and remained there until sailing time. Others walked off the dock for a final stroll on American soil. As the ship moved away from her dock and backed out into the channel, the New Jersey shores were dotted with persons who had been waiting ner.rby the better part of the day to see the liner depart.

Interned Liners liy Signal. From the warbuund German liners lying close at hand signal pen- j nants fluttered, spelling out their'

farewell. Handkerchiefs were waved from the decks of the ships and those on shore saw the Count and Countess von Bemstorff emerge from a doorway with filnce Hatzfeld, formerly counsellor of the embassy, and his wife. All four leaned far over the rail and waved at persons they knew nothing on the dock. Several tugs blew shrill Masts with their whistles. The whistle of the Frederick VIII. responded. Then the ship straightened out in tlu stream and headed for the bay, accompanied If.' a police boat, which dropped behind as tin; Frederick VIII. gathered speed. To watchers on shore the outline
