De Soto stilled uwity lo his own de
struction ami that of live hundred of
his followers, at If he were Rally
manoeiiverliiK In 11 holiday naval pa
rade. Chains for captives, and blood
hounds for lleeliiK nborlRlnes, were
parts of an unwise and Imperfect equip
ment of the third Spanish expedition
Into the Interior of Florida. Lnndliitf
011 the west coast, these high-born ad
ventures turned towards Appalacheu
bay: thence westward to Pensaeoln
bay. After wtinderini over what are
now fieorKin nntl Alabama, De Solo re
turned to the present site of Mobile,
where he destroyed a law Indian
town, slatiKhleriiiK more than -',000 ot
lis Inhabitants. Pursuing the foolish
policy or treating all Indian tribes as
enemies, the new Rovernor was in an
tmendliiK coulllct Willi his new subjects.
One he ordered burned alive for bluntly
declaring that he l;new of no country
whore sold ft bounded. Thenceforward
(ompulsory unities manufactured the
information demanded. Then they weie
thrown to the bloodhounds for mislead
ing the fjold hunters. Receiving sup
plies from Cuba, the haugthy De Soto,
regardless of failure, marohed north
west to and across the Yazoo river.
Near this "river of death" their winter
quarters were burlied, their food, shel
ter and clothing belnpr wholly de
stroyed. It was while moving west
ward, clothed in skins and In mats
made of rushes and wild ivy, that these
starving Dons first beheld the majestic
Mississippi. Powell's painting of this
beggarly scene does great credit to that
artist's wealth of Invention. The point'
of discovery was near the thirty-fifth
parallel, now known as the lowest
Chickasaw muff, In May, loll, the ex
ploring party crossed the River of the
Holy Ghost, as the Spaniards tlrst
called It, and ascending the west bank
and branching off northwest, reached
the upper waters of the White river,
about two hundred miles from the
Oreat river. From the state line of
Missouri, tlio extreme northern limit of
De Soto's explorations, the party
crossed the Arkansas to the salt waters
of the "Washita, and descending along
that stream returned to the Mississippi
at the junction of Hed river. Jtrokeu
down by malarial fevers and disheart
ened by ids inability to penetrate the
forests and marshes of the lower Miss
issippi. De Soto prepared lor his de
parture to another and still stranger
world. He called his chiefs around him
nt the last hour and selected Moscoso
as his successor. He was tlrst but led
within the enclosure of the encamp
ment, but later, his followers, fearing
that ill consequences might flow from
the knowledge of his mortality and
death, bis body was heavily weighed
and sunk tit midnight in the deep water
channel of what seemed to be n great
(lowing sett. A llttlng burial place truly
for a teleutless chieftain whose cruelties
were revolting, who was its pitiless and
merciless as the devastating torrents of
a river that destioys babes In their
cradles and drags children from their
mother's jirius. De Soto died May 21,
KisS, and Moseoso returned by the way
of Texas and Mexico to Spain with less
than one-third of tile gay naval ex
pedition that set out from Havana.
JOMirr and mai:qi'i:tti:.
Mine than a century and a quarter
had elapsed from the time when (he
half-Mar veil Spaniards tied from the
lower Mississippi, to the year when
the Krenchmon, .lollet and Marquette,
appeared upon its upper waters. These
experienced explorers, with a party of
seven, slartin-, from Mackinaw in two
birch canoes, ascended Fox river and
connected by a narrow portage with
the upper Wisconsin. Floating down

which having Impressed them much,
they entered the Father of AVaters on
the eurient of the AVisconsln. June 17,

for 11 thousand miles Fxplorlng, they
seemed much impressed by the fright
ful appearance of the monsters painted
in led, blue and green colors, that tlls
ligured certain high cliffs below the
mouth of the Illinois. Pursuing the
humane policy of kindness and frank
ness, the chiefs of the Illinois Indians
received Juliet and Marquette In their
native and naked dignity, smoking the
calumet of peace, and declaring with
Inborn grace, that their presence "made
the river more calm, the sky mure se
H'lie and the earth more beautiful."
They passed the lonely foicst that cov
ered the site of tlie busy and opulent
city of St. Louis, and Inter saw on
their left tlie stream lo which tlie Tro
quols had Kivcli the name of the Ohio
or Iteaiitiful river. The whole of tlie
iiiinii and parts of the river remained
beautiful, 1 laving successfully ex

Tho greatest of tlio early explorers
cannot be followed through bis north
ern lake and Canadian successes and
failures; his quarrels with tlio Jesuits
and his other distressing tribulations.
It is enough to know that his merits
won the confidence and unvarying sup
port of Count Frontennc, tlie ablest of
all tho early French governors, and
that the illustrious Colbert and tlie
worldly-wise Louis XIV were tlie chief
promoters of his far-reaching discov
eries. Horn of good family In Itouen,
he en mo to Canada at twenty-throe,
with n splendid physltpie, an excellent
education, high Ideals and high am
bition. Among tho fruits of a first voy
age was the exploration of Lake On
tario, tlie discovery of tho Illinois river,
and a visit to tlio Ohio river and lo the
present site of ChienRo, From tho sec
ond expedition resulted the first sight
nntl first description of Niagara Falls
by Father Hennepin, one of LnSalle's
party; tlio building ot the drlffln In
107S, on Niagara river; .the exploration
of the lakes ns far as "Detroit in this
first of all lake-built vessels; the trav
ersing of the upper lakes and pene
tration of the Interior of tho Illinois
country, where Fort Creve Couer was
built, and the intrepid explorer's final
triumph over all obstacles and enemies
in reaching tho Mississippi by descend
ing the river Illinois. LaRallo tolls us
that ho was detained nt the mouth of
tho Illinois for twelve days, by floating
Ice; that in February, 105:!, he found
himself moving down the mighty cur
rent of the river Colbert, as be named
it, made more mighty by the muddy,
mad-rushing Missouri; that tlie coun
try between the latter river and tlie
Ohio, He declares in simplest French,
was beautiful; that game abounded
ncr where we know De Soto crossed;
that the savages were hostile between
tho mouth of the Arkansas and junc
tion of Tied river, and that early In
April, tho parting forks of tho wonder
ful river were before their eyes. On
April 0, lfiS2, LnSallo mid his then
faithful followers, having passed out
through tlio three channels of the Miss
issippi into tho Gulf of Mexico, effected
ti joint landing, and there planting the
holy cross, proclaimed tlie divinity of
their religion and the sovereignty of
their country, "in the 11,1111c of the most
high, mighty, invincible and victorious
Prince Louis the Oreat, by the grace of
Ood, king of France and of Navarro."
Shouts of "Long live the king!" and
three volleys of musketry confirmed an
acquisition or grant of stupendous,
though unmeasured, nfagnitiide to
Louis XIV. the then most powerful
monarch In the world. The successful
explorer named the whole vast region,
extending to Canada and to tho greal,
tributary northwest, Louisiana, In Honor
of its new sovereign.
Tn 1GS4, tlie ever-l'rlendlv Frontennc
having been lecallod, antl the large
minded Colbert having died, tlio indo
mitable LnSallo betook himself to the
court of Versailles, where his signifi
cant services, his woith, weight and
dignity of character seemed a favor
able response to his praiseworthy peti
tion and lofty prayer. The minister of
marine and colonies, Seign'elay, the son
of Colbert,-.agreed to fit out an expedi
tion to proceed by sea to tho mouth of
the Mississippi, for no less grand a
purpose than to lay the foundation of
a great empire. The resolute LaSalle
purposed to establish it fort and a col
ony, sixty leagues above the mouth ot
the great river, from which the French
could control the settlement ot' a conti
nent mill eventually drive the Span
lards from Mexico. He was given four
vessels to be commanded "while nt
sea." by Bentijeu. a captain of the navy,
who was so consumed with conceit
that the ceaseless recognition of his
own importance appeared more essen
tial to Him than the success of the ex
pedition. Through tlie Incapacity or the
deception of lienujeu, the colonists
were landed at Motagorda bay, one
Hundred and thirty leagues west of
their destination, Front this blunder
followed no end of disasters. A land
lug place In the wilds of Texas was a
wholly different tiling from 11 settle
ment on the banks of a mighty conti
nental river. Tlie martinet of the royal
navy hastily returned to Franco, taking
what was most useful to the colonists
with him. The abandoned settlers were
1 educed In desperate straits. LnSallo
nnd his colony, while suffering from
malarial fevers, from lack of food and
from till the poiT.n and privations of the
wilderness, icsolved in March, ltii7, as
a last hope to seek succor from the re
mote outposts near the northern lakes,
Some progress had been made in this
dangerous direction, wlion a Hunter's
quarrel, lesultfng in tlio killing of Mor
euger, LiiSalle's nephew, precipitated a
conspiracy, which ended in tin assas
sination of the Intrepid lender of the
expedition.

Without question we believe we
have done, and are still doing, more
to enable Gentlemen to dress stylish
and well at a moderate cost. The
"Atterbury" System has, and is still
convincing many intelligent men,
and the appreciation of our effort is
evidenced by the most remarkable
increase of sales in our "Atterbury"
Clothes Department. It's not alto
gether the style and tailoring that
has brought us into favor with the
best dressers. Correct fabrics and
cloth patterns play a prominent part
while the tailors who work by this
4tAtterbury" System are all skilled
men and are paid expert wages;
they take pride in their work and
the result is everything is done well
even to the sewing on of buttons.
Have our salesmen show you through

to advise us tlie moment any new style appears.
Only last week some of the newest styles in Boys'

when buying Children's Clothing, as in everything
else, "knowledge is power." Everyone cannot be
a judge of cloth or an expert on tailoring. Some
clothes are all right to look at but all wrong to
wear. It's our knowledge of what's best for the
boy that makes it safe buying here. Suits from

It's the honesty in
