‘‘Hello Huck!’’ DAY ? ECALL THAT GOLDEN when you first read “Huck Finn How your mother said, “For goodnes sake, stop laughing aloud over that book. You sound so silly.” But you couldn’: stop laughing. Today when you read “Huckleberry Finn” you will not laugh so much. You will chuckle often, but you will also want to weep. The deep humanity of it—the pathos that you never saw, as a boy, will appeal to you now. You were too busy laughing to notice the limpid purity of the master’s style. MARK TWAIN There seems to be no end to the things that Mark Twain could do well. When he wrote history, it was a kind of history unlike any other, except in its accuracy. When he wrote books of travel, it was an event. He did many things—stories, novels, trav el, history, essays, humor—but behind each was the force of the great earnest, powerful personality that dominated his time, so that even then he was known all over the face of the globe. 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. The Centennial Half- Price Sale Must Close Mark Twain wanted these books in the hands of all the people. So we made this set of good-looking substantial books, and there has been a tremendous sale on it. But Mark Twain could not foresee that the price of paper, the price of ink, the price of cloth, would all goup.. It is impossible to continue the sale long. It'should have closed before this. Because this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of Harper & Brothers, we have decided to continue this half-price sale while the present supply lasts.

In order to give local color to his lecture, the Youngstown man spent several hours tramping over the hills and dales in the neighborhood of the city, after which he accepted the invitation of some friends to spent the rest of the afternoon on the golf in ¢ Youngstown man played with several men, completely tiring each in turn.
