December 10th Last Day At This Low Price F you send the coupon at once you can get your set of Mark Twain at the present price based on former low | prices on paper. We have kept the price low on these i° Books because Mark Twain wanted every American home to own his books at a reasonable price, in a good binding, with fine paper and clear type. A flood of orders on Mark Twain has used all the paper that we could get even at a fairly reasonable price And the low-price sale must cloye— paper costs too much—cloth—every- thing that goes into the making of books has climbed to such heights that we estimate our present supply ‘ cannot last very much longer. So after December roth, we must raise the price on these sets. Get your set now at the low price—while you can. MARK TWAIN His Spirit Cheers and Comforts a Tired World In him a tired world finds relief—finds laughter and cheer. But in him there is something more than joy; there is life, and knowledge, and sympathy. For now that Mark Twain has passed on and the charm and magnetism of his presence is no longer here, we can see more clearly than ever the greatness of his genius. Never has there been a citizen of this country so magnificently welcomed in England, so beloved on the continent of Europe, so eagerly read in Asia and Australia. Even the Chinese read Mark Twain, and if they must have his books, surely you must have the work of this greatest of all Americans. One day there appeared a new book from his pen, so spiritual, so true, so lofty, that those who did not know him well were amazed. Joan of Arc was the work of a poet—a historian—a seer. Mark Twain was all of these. A Real American high places. But his troubles were not over. At the height of his fame he lose all his mon= ey. He was heavily in debt, but though sixty years old, he started afresh and paid every cent. It was the last heroic touch that drew him close to the hearts of his countrymen. Mark Twain was a steamboat pilot searcher for gold in the Far West—a print- er. He worked bitterly hard. Then, with the opening of the great wide West, Mark Twain's genius bloomed. He had found his great place. The world has asked is there an Ame: ? His fame spread through the nation. From Literature? then on, the path of fame lay straight to the ed is th ican Mark Twain is the answer.
