Twain, giving widely and freely to the
B world such lauehter as men had never
seen. It was laughter whole-souled and
clean, and yet the laughter of thoughtful
men.
There seems to be no end to the things
that Mark Twain could do well. When
he wrote history, it was a new kind of
history, unlike any other except in its ac
curacy. When he wrote books of travel,
it was an event, and the world sat up and
. noticed. He did many things stories,
novels, travel, history, essays, humor
but behind eacj was the force of a great,
earnest, powerful personality, that domi
nated his time, so that even then he was
known all over the face of the globe.
Simple, unassuming, democratic, he was
welcomed by Kings, he was loved by
plain people.
He was a gallant fighter for freedom,
for humanity. The simplicity, the kind
ly humor, the generosity, the spirituality
half revealed, that we like to think is
America all these were in Mark Twain.
If foreign nations love him, we in this
country give him first place in our hearts.
The home without Mark Twain is not an
American home.
