Not many people OF today would rec
ognize the metropolis Of Missouri by
the name "Pain Court" yet that name
was quite generally Applied to. st
Louis in its early days. Laclede, who
founded it in 1764, Loyalty called It
after his French sovereign, Louis XIV.
But the people Of the. other villages
up and DOVE the Mississippi and along
the Ohio and the Wabash derisively
it Pain Court. It appears
that the French settlers Of St Louis
neglected agriculture and devoted near
ly all their time to hunting and trap
ping and trading with the Indians. On
this account and because considera-

frequently went there to trade, took
note Of this, especially the high price

months, said:
'"The amount Of nutriment would

siderable quantity. 1t would be just
slightly less nutritious, but the princt
