is something like The Masses and The Little Review because it contains original stories, plays, essays, also translation from the Europeans; as well as drawings and etchings.

But how is it different?

TINY TIM MAKES CANDY. TINY TIM MAKES GOOD CANDY. TINY TIM MAKES PURE CANDY. TINY TIM ORIGINATES EVERY VARIETY. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.

P. S. Mary Elizabeth, Martha Washington, Park & Tilford, Huylers, and the Mirror Stores make good candy, but they haven’t any thing on TINY TIM for originality.

P. S. (2nd.) TIM’S place is small and hard to find. It is hiding out on Sixth Avenue, on the corner of Milligan Place, between 10th and 11th Streets. If you ever find the place remember the special directions for opening the door. Grasp the handle firmly—push to your right steadily. NOTE: The door slides North.

P. S. (3rd.) TIM or Mrs. TIM and the candy will probably be there. If not, call again.

“Hello Huck!”

Recall that golden day when you first read “Huck Finn”? How your mother said, “For goodness’ sake, stop laughing aloud over that book. You sound so silly.” But you couldn’t 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

When Mark Twain first wrote “Huckleberry Finn” this land was swept with a gale of laughter. When he wrote “The Innocents Abroad” even Europe laughed at it itself.

But 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. His was not the light laughter of a moment’s fun, but the whimsical humor that made the tragedy of life more bearable.

A Real American

Mark Twain was a steamboat pilot. He was a searcher for gold in the far West. He was a printer. He worked bitterly hard. All this without a glimmer of the great destiny that lay before him. Then, with the opening of the great wide West, his genius bloomed.

His fame spread through the nation. It flew to the ends of the earth, until his work was translated into strange tongues. From then on, the path of fame lay straight to the high places. At the height of his fame he lost all his money. He was heavily in debt, but though 60 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.

The world has asked is there an American literature? Mark Twain is the answer. He is the heart, the spirit of America. From his poor and struggling boyhood to his glorious, splendid old age, he remained as simple, as democratic as the plainest of our forefathers.

He was, of all Americans, the most American. Free in soul, and dreaming of high things—brave in the face of trouble—and always ready to laugh. That was Mark Twain.

The Price Goes Up

25 VOLUMES Novels—Stories—Humor Essays—Travel—History

This is Mark Twain’s own set. This is the set he wanted in the home of each of those who love him. Because he asked it, Harpers have worked to make a perfect set at a reduced price.

Before the war we had a contract price for paper, so we could sell this set of Mark Twain at half price.
