The announcement of the death of Mark Twain yesterday will be
received with sorrow all over the world. His kindly humor won for him a
unique place in American life. Aside from his literary work he was
known and appreciated. Domestic sorrow weighed heavily on him, and the
recent death of his close friend, Mr. H. H. Rogers, accentuated his
burden of sorrows. Even so, Mark Twain was cheerful to the end, his
optimism being present to the last. He will be greatly missed. There
is no other to take his place.
