LEGEND OF A MISSOURI CAVE.
Disappearance of n Brave Hunter-Re
mains Found after MANY yaors

Disappearance Of Brave Hunter-Re.
mains round after Many Years,
A writer IN the st. Louis Republican
says that on the dividing ridge separating
the waters OF the Meramee from tie Mis-.
souri,, in franklin county, is cave. main.
ly remarkable from tragic event which
occurred IN the early part of the century
The mouth OF the cave is funnel shaped.
and about eighteen feet deep A hori
Zontal passage leads off in a southwest
direction to distance of two hundred
and sixty feet, when an enlarged chamber
suddenly terminates in an abrupt chasm
or unknown depth.
Early in the present century hunter
from st. Louis, named Labadie connected
with the families of that name identified
with the history of tlis city, went ont to
Franklin County, then mostly n wilder
ness, in pursuit of game.5 He had his son,
a small lad, with him.
They got on the trail of bear which they
followed until the animal took refuge in
the cave. Nothing daunted, Mr.. Labadie
followed the bear into it's hiding-place
and never came out alive. The boy heard
the report of n gun and then all was
silent
He watched and waited at the mouth of
the cave for his fathers return, but he
came not back. The boy remained near
tu0 cave I'LL ddS ttuu IlSuC, anu tIicll EtNC
up his father for lost. With his Ratchet
he "blazed" the trees around the spot, in
order to identify the place, and then re-
turned home.
Whether search was made or not is not
known, but the hunter, it is certain, was
given up for lost, and his remains were
allowed to rest in the rock bound tomb.
Time rolled on, and about twenty years
ago, when The engineers were laying out
the track of the Pacific Railroad, which
passed the cave, they had the curiosity to
enter and explore it's secrets. They found
the bones of bear and a skeleton of a
human being lying close together. Not
only this, but they also found an old mus
ket barrel, half eaten by the rust, and a
small quantity of old French and Spanish
coin.
All these circumstances pointed to the
old hunter Labadie as the person whose
skeleton was thus revealed to the gaze Of
the explorers, and whose tragic history
was preserved by tradition. The trees
were also examined, and the old scars
caused by the Ratchet of the young La
bade were distinctly traced.
"Labadie Creek" and "Labadie Station"
preserve the name of the daring hunter
who lost his life in the vicinity.

Genius.

Far out at seattle sun was high,
While yeered the wind and tapped the sal
We saw snow-white butterfly
Dancing before the fltful gale,
Far out at sea.
The little wanderer who had lost
His way, of danger nothing knew,
Sett ed awhile upon the mast,
Then futtercd DER the waters blue,
Far out at sea.
Above, there CLEANED the boundless sky;
Beneath, the boundless ocean sheen;
Between them danced the butterfly,
The spirit life OF this vast scene,
Far out at sea.
The tiny soul that scared away,
Seeking the clouds on fragile wings,
Lured by the brighter, purer ray
Which hopes ecstatic morning brings
Far ont at sea.
Away he sped, with shimmerlng glee.
Scarce seen, now lost, yet on ward borne,
Night comes with wind and rain, and he
No more will dance before the morn.
Far out ut sea.
lie dies, unlike his mates, ! ween
Perhaps not sooner or worse crossed,
And he hath felt and known and seen
larger life and hope, though lost
Far out at sea.

| CORRECTING AMERICAN HISTORY.
Establishing a New Date for the Battle of
Trenton.


Mr. Andrew Quinton, of Trenton, New
Jersey, asserts that the date on the Wash
ington monument, Baltimore, fixing the
battle of Trenton as having been fought
on December p, 11,6, is incorrect. He
says the battle took place on the day fol-
lowing, December 26. Mr.. Quintin thinks
the date should be changed on the monu-
ment so as to read Battle of Trenton,
December 20" Bancroft in his History
of the United States" LOSING in his
Field b ok of the Revolution" CARING
ton in his Battles Of the American Revo-
lution," Bryant in his Popular History
of the United States" and Raum in his
History of New Jersey" all agree that
the battle of Trenton was fought on the
morning of December &c, 1916.
The American troops started to cross
the Delaware on the evening of December
p, but it was O'Clock the next morning
when they landed on the opposite shore.
