the cmergenco of his immortal American
boy from the cave in which he
i and his companion Becky had been
lost for thrco -days,?Tom Sawyer
probably stuck his head through a
hole that is now on property upon
which is located tho large plant of
J The-.Atlas Portland Cement Company
at Cannibal, Missouri.
I ~ This town was made famous by the.
t- doings of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry
Finn and hi* associates, who were the
f t boyhood recollections of Mark Twain,
whoso own youthful days were spent
ip that city on the banks of the
Mississippi. Tho home Mark Twain
occupied is still there, a modest white
clapboard house with a small bronre
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 location
of many of the pranks of the
boys of Mark Twain's vigorous, virile
imagination. One can still plunge in
the "swimmin1 hole," but the covered
bridge has been neglected and i3
sorely in need of repairs.
More permanent and interesting
still is tne cave which became the
-haunt of the boyfc in their daredevil
games of playing "Injun'" and
banditry. The entrance is in the side
of a hill before which is u picturesque
picnic ground, and so wide has been
the knowledge of these underground
passages through reading of Mark
Twain's characters that the cave is
constantly a mccca of visitors from
all over the United States. A guide
is .always at hand and n small fee is
" .charged ^for being conducted through

dewy with a cold sweat. It was ' i,
romantic and mysterious to stand
here in the deep gloom and look out
ppon tne green valley shining in the r>
sun. But the impressiveness of the o
situation quickly wore off, and the a
romping began again. The moment
a candle was lighted there was a
general rush upon the owner of it: a *
struggle and a gallant defense rol- d
lowed, but the candle was soon t
knocked dowp or blown out, and then c
there was a glad clamor of laughter e
and a new chase. But all .things have
an end. By and by the procession
went filing down the steep descent *
of the main avenue, the flickering
rank of lights dimly revealing the o
lofty walls of rock almost to their
point of function 'sixty feet overhead.
This main avenue was not
more than eight or ten feet wide.
Every few steps -other lofty and still
narrower crevices branched from it t
on either hand?for McDougal'a

.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- f
yond this known poftion. Tom r
Sawyer knew as much of the cave as p
any one."
Jt is the presence of the limestone, p
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 Ilannibal, where the
Tom Sawyer caves run under iti j
property at various points.

Israel's ruined condition resulted
om the failure of the rulers to prop ly
care for the people of Israel, God's
leep. Their sin was that:
1. They Exploited the People Inend
of Shepherding Them >jvv. 1-3).

te flock but Instead of that they fed
LCmselves, even devouring the sheep
id clothing thcmselvcj wltli the wool

2. They Fulled to Minister to the
Ick, the. Diseased and Wounded (v.
i. It is not enough that the shep
erds refrain from doing evil to the
leep. They are expected to strengthen
le weak and bind up the wounds of

3, They .Did Not Search Out the
Mt Sheep (vv. r?-b). Sheep left to
letuselves wander away. The sheep

but fobe cared for by the sheperd.
In their scattered condition they
ecame the prey of wild beasts. None
