The millions who have laughed over the writings of the gentle-hearted
Mark Twain will grieve over his death. His life was used in bringing
sunshine and happiness into the lives of others. He was a great and
vivid writer and he will be remember for ages. His tenderness and true
manhood was perceptible beneath his humor. It is gratifying that this
great writer was appreciated, honored and rewarded, as was his due, by
the American people, and that his closing years, aside from his
bereavements caused by the ruthless hand of death, have been years of
ease and happiness.
