DANIEL BOONE'S
HOME
Interesting "reminiscences of
The Famous Pioneer.
The Solid Old House m St
Charles County, Mo. Where
He Spent His Last Days.
From St. Louis Globe Democrat, De
cember 5, 1922

To the stranger passing though
the valley of the Femme Usage,
in the Eastern part of Missouri,
the greatest object of interest is
the house built years ago by Dan
iel Boone.
Back from the winding valley
road at a respectable distance it
stands, low eave1, dingy, massive
ly built, so near the big bluff is it
that, seen from the west, it seems
to oe entirely within the embrace
of the cedar crowned arms of the
rocks towering above it. Almost
a century old, it is solid looking
and as defiant of the passing Of
time as its granite background.
Here the last years of Daniel
Boone's life were spent, and in
the little upstairs room facing the
frame addition, which phlegmaric
utilitarianS have built as a "leau

neer known in western history.

which even he might not explore
in the flesh. With the growing
reverence for history treating of
America and Americans, it is
passing strange that the foremost
pioneer in the development of the
west should be so nearly forgot.

rest in Kentucky soil, in what he
lovingly termed ''the happy hunt
ing ground. But all ends there.
No attempt has been made to APP

pioneer died has no knowIedg. of |
its history, If it were not for
the old stone house in the valley |
of the Femme Usage and the nu-
merous bits Of interesting history
in the country where he died his
memory would be but a misty
blur upon the minds of the oldest
and as blank to the younger gen
Grafton.
The house in which he died is
an interesting structure. 1t was
built nearly a century ago. The
walls are of bright blue limestone,
and in many years have changed
but little. Somber grayish tints
running thru it here and there
alone show the ravages of time.
In many places the walls are
six feet thick, and safely inside a
wayfarer may defy the elements.
When this massive old structure
was erected it marked the extreme
western limit of western agricul.
turai efforts. 1t was. in fact, on
the boundary line between the
known civilization west of the
Mississippi river and the unknown
wilderness still further west of it.
1t was one of the first houses
erected in St. Charles county, and
at that time the now fertile fields
along both banks of the Femme
Usage were a dense wilderness.
Hostile Indians were on both ,
sides. In this wilderness the ,
sturdy pioneer built his home. In
it none but the NEST lasting mate ,
rial was used-blue limestone for
the walls and hand sawed oak and
black walnut for the wood work.

Senator Penrose spoke of the grow

pitched his talk in the general note
of harmony in the party.
Predicts Republican victory
After reviewing the military and
civil career of General Grant Sem
ator Penrose said:
I'VE need to-day in the affairs OF
the nation and in the legislative propo-
sitions which have been advanced in
recent years strong application OF
the common sense of Grant in dealing
with matters of government Dema-
gogic agitation and a crop of eco
nomic heresies, as vicious in some re-
spects as the greenback heresy which
Grant destroyed, have been stirring
discomfort among high and low, rich
and poor These heresies, perhaps
were the luxurious experimenting un-
der conditions of too much prosperity.
After a period OF unrivaled and
extraordinary prosperity and develop
ment during the eighteen years of Re-
publican administration under three
Presidents the American people came
to want a change. Evils in the body
polite. social and industrial, were mis-
represented, exaggerated or invented
lowing to an unfortunate division
in the Republican party. which is now
happily passing away, the Dem ocratic
party was successful in the last presi-
dental election. The people have had
the change, they have had a brief
experience with the Underwood free
trade tariff policy. They have felt the
humiliation of the policy of watchful
paralyzed by hostile legislation of Con-
gress, and now they are waiting for
the coming opportunity in 1916 to
register their verdict by an over
whelming majority in favor of Repub-
hcan policies and a restoration of
protection and prosperity and COM
mon sense in legislation.

effort should be to take off the brakes.
Certain gentlemen and certain
newspapers in the last campaign ar

she figured granting women the bal

In response to the first question Miss
Livingston said: Il know more about

from 10 to 10. None of them had

came from Easton, six from Reading,
nine from Pittsburgh, nearly a hun
dred froh Philadelphia and the rest
from smaller cities and towns.
Says Womans Vote Is Needed
AS to SuHrage stamping out vice
we know that prostitution cannot ever
really be stopped except through edu-
cation. But we also know that we can
stop the supply of girls and save the
unwilling victims by stricter legisla-
tion. We need the women's votes to
get this legislation. The women of the
Western States proved that legislation
could wipe out commercialized vice

prostitution practically does not exist
To-day. The women of these equal
franchise States not only passed the
injunction and abatement law, which
holds the owners of property respon-
sible for the use of their buildings
for immoral purposes, but they are
seeing that it is enforced.
Some of the vile interests in San
Francisco actually had the effrontery
to propose erecting houses especially
for prostitution, near the Panama-Pa-
cifc fair grounds. The women told
them that IL they built the houses,
they, the women would see that the
law tore them down. They were not
built"
