When Tom Sawyer "pushed his
head and shoulders through small
hole and saw the broad Mississippi
rolling by" as Mark Twain described
the emergence Of his immortal Ameri-
can boy from the cave in which he
and his companion Becky had been
lost for three days,-Tom Sawyer
probably stuck his head through a
hole that is now on property upon
which is located the large plant OF
The Atlas Portland Cement Company
ct Hannibal, Missouri.
!; This town was made famous by the
doings of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry
Finn and his associates, who were the
boyhood recollections Of Mark Twain,
whose own youthful days were spent
in that city on the banks Of the
Mississippi. The home Mark Twain
occupied is still there, a modest white
clapboard house with a small bronze
plaque on its street side, stating that
the house was the boyhood home Of
Mark Twain, and that the plaque had
been set there by his father. Rising
Just beyond it is Cardiff Hill, the loca-
tion Of many Of the pranks Of the
boys Of Mark Twain's vigorous, virile
imagination. One can still plunge in
the "swimmin' hole" but, the covered
bridge has been neglected and is
sorely in need Of repairs.
More permanent land interesting
still is the cave which became the
haunt Of the boys in their daredevil
games Of playing "Injun'" and
banditry. The entrance is in the side
Of hill before which, lis a picturesque
picnic ground, and so wide has beer
the knowledge Of these underground
passages through reading Of Mark
Twain's characters that the cave is
constantly q mecca Of visitors from
all over the United States. A guide
is always at hand and small fee il
charged for being conducted through
the caves. 1t is worth while to heal
the guide tell Of the incidents in the
lives Of Mark Twain's "boys" which
took place in the windings Of these
limestone passages.
i No better description Of them could
be had than in 1.-THE Adventures Of
Tom Sawyer" itself. A picnic had
been arranged and a ferryboat hired
for the occasion. After luncheon
somebody shouted: "Who's ready fol

Everybody was" writes MARI

It was said that one might wander days

cate tangle Of riffs and chasms, and
never find the end Of the cave; and
that he might 60 down and down, and
still down, into the earth, and it was
just the same-labyrinth underneath
labyrinth, and no end to any Of them.
No man Knew the cave. That was an
impossible thing. Most Of the young
men knew a portion Of it, and it was
not customary to venture much be.
You'd this known portion. Tom
Sawyer knew as much Of the cave as
any one."
It is the presence Of the limestone,
which is the major raw material in
the manufacture Of Portland Cement,
that caused the Atlas Portland
Cement Company to locate its large
modern plant at Hannibal, where the
Tom Sawyer caves run under IT'D
property at various points.
