Hannibal.

Hannibal Is city under the shadow
of great name. Every American
town likes to produce few great men.
to indulge in reminiscence about them
and the unpromising ways of their
youth, and to meet them with bands
and banQuets when they return to
their boyhood haunts. but there is evil
IDENTIFY danger IN giving the world =
man too great. He eclipses the town.
Hannibal might strike a gold mine or
a diamond bed in the hills. become the
center of fourishing aeroplane in
dustry, grow to a city Of a hundred
thousand people, establish the greatest
American colleges and museums, and
still. when some one mentioned Han
nibal, Mo-, the public would nod its head
and say, "Oh, yes-Mark Twain's old
town."
Luckily, while Hannibal is pushing
and boosting after the manner of all
good American cities. 1t has not yet
reached the point where the diligent
reader of Tom Sawyer" and 'Huckle-
berry Finn" cannot recognize old land
marks. Even the atmosphere of Han
nibal is much the same as 1t must have
been in the days when Sam Clemens set
type on his brothers newspaper and
firmly resolved that il industry and de-
termination could turn the trick he
would some day rise to pinnacles of
fame and greatness-he would some
day be Mississippi river pilot. And
before very many years he was a pilot.
and a good one, too.
The American government nowadays
is pursuing q laudable policy in Great
ing national monuments. 1t has set
aside lakes and mountains and glaciers
and will probably set aside the Grand
Canyon. There is spot near Hannibal
that might well be added to the list.
and that is the famous cave where Tom
Sawyer administered the oath to his
fellow bandits. in ''Huckleberry Finn"
and where he lost himself and his COM
panion in Tom Sawyer" The cave 10

With the added glamour that our kind
ly genius has given 1t. il is worthy Of
all the respect the American people
can give it.

while we hiked 1t. 1t was nearly dark

we had to do some fast work in pitch
ing tents and clearing away for the
night. The majority of the boys had
never been camping before and the
life was new. We dug trenches around
the tents, but unfortunately we did
not make them deep enough and we got
a good washout that night. We deep
ened them Monday and hard down
pour that day was not as destructive
as the previous one. Monday and Tues

time arrived for breaking camp there
were sixteen sad boys-'somewhere In
