Was "Robbers' Cave" a Rendezvous
For Bootleggers and Thieves
"Robbers' Cave," Lincoln's curlous
den was it really once a rendezvou
for horsethieves, bootleggers anil sun

terious network of dark tunnels, wmu
ing, tortuous passages, with an aimo
sphere of wierdness that makes a
creepy feeling come over its visitors
and causes them to grip their puises

Jesse James, we ae iold, had a
private apartment there when "bui
nefs" called him into these parts.

Dime Novel Tales.
Tales thus are told which woulJ
sound well in any dime novel or
buccaneer's autobiography. Earliest
authentic hstory of the cave is dif
ficult to get. The stories of outlaws
cannot be entirely rejected.
The cavity, from H indications,
probably was started by the dtssou
ing action of water seeping through
the soft sandstone. Indians discovered
this and aided nature by digging
the passageways, which later may
have been enlarged by white men.
Pioneers tell the story of seeing In
dians camping at times in the vicinit
of the cave. Great commotion, hor
rible cries and chanting would tssut.
forth t.t nt-ht. Torture of captive,
or s'f-tortue, revelry, war councils
and religious ceremonies were u..
doubtodly responsible for the clamot.
Indian legends tell of the Nahut aks,
spirit beings, reat and wise, invisible
to the greatest braves who, the
legends state, inhabited tie cave and
three other caves in Nebraska and
Kansas. To become a Medicine Mm
a warrior was obliged to cn-Miium'

ODE TO A PREVAILING FASHION.
"She is coming, my own, my sweet,
Was there ever so airy a t-eadr
Galoshes adorn her feet,
She's an up-to-the-minute co-ed.
Are there drifts that you have to plow
through?
No, the walks are almost dry;
But they wear them on Fifth Ave
nue
So, why if you please, shouldn't I;
So she flippety-flopa on her way
To the Joy of the passer-by
For .galoshes it must be today
Under sklrU both scanty and nigii.
Galoshes with buckles that clasp nu
a snap,
Galoshes with buckles that doni,
And when they aren't buckled, they
shuffle asid flop,
You'd think they'd fall off, but .hey
wont.
Galoshes ahead, and galoshes behind,
Galoshes both shiny and new;
Now what craxy fad will the neit vi
ed find,
For the eyes of the world to view!
