Hale , heart- , erect , active , In full pea-
tosalon of every faculty of mind nnd body ,
hair silvered with the frosts of eighty-two
winters such Is Captain Joseph La Uarse ,
the oldest living T > ltot and ship owner on the
Missouri river. To him the channels , cur
rents and scenery ot the Missouri river ,
from Its mouth to Its headwaters of naviga
tion , are more familiar than the streets
of St. Louis. He could thread the danger
ous passages and curves .blindfolded. . Ills
trips up nd down the "Dig Muddy" have
boon moro numerous than 'those ' of any
other man who over lived. Sixty years of
his life waa spent In plying backward and
forward between Fort Uenton , Mont. , and
St. Louis. He grew fond of * ho old stream
as tiio years \voro on nnd .brought him
fame and fortune , and even now that ho
has retired from active life ho spcaka ot
his experience and adventures In a tone
which leaves no doubt as to his fondness for
the profession at which ho ppont his entire
life. Kecn-eye < l , with perfect hearing , cloar-
mlndcd , spry ot step , he HCCIIIS good for a
quarter of a century more In 'the enjoyment
of this world's goods.
In the palmy dayd of steamboatlng on the
Missouri , relates the St. Louis He-
public , the imno at Captain La
Barge was well and favorably known
from Its mouth to Its source. Ills
trials In the commerce of the river In the
early days when 'there ' were no railways and
his connection with the United States gov
ernment 03 n carrier , both before and after
the war , have pervcd to Intertwine his name
with itho wild , romantic history of pioneer
days.
In that record ho stands forth a bravo
and true man. the highest pinnacle that
any nuy attain. Ho waa tried In times of
peril and danger , and found not wanting.
, Ho was te.sled In matters of business , and
Iila honesty stood forth superb. The gov
ernment employed him because of his ster
ling qualities. Ho novcr betrayed the
tru t reposed in him. in fact , he wns nn
honor to It end acquitted himself ncbly both
during the wars with the Indians and Un
civil conflict. Shippers along the Missouri
entrusted Koods to his care with perfect
confidences. Ho novcr betrayed them In the
with the - , , The Kovornmeiit charged him
delivery of millions of dollars to
tiio western aRcncIps. Every cent of the
money was delivered to the rightful
par

rowly escaped death. A federal general
desired that ho be banged , and sent SIS

boat ho started forth on the .Mis
souri river trade.
Ho soon became engaged In hauling' furs
for the companies up the river , and later
undertook the tradlns In furs himself during
the winter months. During his long career
on the river he
owned fourteen boats , nnd
from these derived a handsome Income. Ills
nrsi uoai was named Martha , after his
daughter. After that , most of his steamers
wore christened after his daughter Emellc
A few of these boats met with accidents , but
not while Captain La narge owned or con
trolled them. Above Fort , fienton ia Fort
La Barge , named after the brave and gal
lant steamboat captain. It still retains bis
name. Captain La Ilarge is n devout Catli-
olio , and would never receive transportation
from the Jesuit or other missionaries who
went west to labor among the Indians In
referring to Captain La Uargo , a number
of the religious travelers imagined that the
generosity was from the fur company for
which the captain carried goods. He was so
modest that lie never corrected the impres
sion , suffering a soulless corporation to take
the credit , which wca clearly his due. Only
recently was the error corrected , but too late
for the numerous treaties written by several
missionaries.

When Captain La Ilargo sailed the Mis

upon the river. Later ho could point out the
spots where 273 boats .went down. Ills
lnowleiicc : of these wrecks enabled Cnplnki

points to the ( section near St. Charles , Mo. ,

tt happened In this way : Genenl Curtis
and four other men were appointed n coin-
mis don by the government to go up the
Ml-aour ! river and negotiate with the dir-
fnrpn' ' tribes for the right of way for the
Northern Pacific railway. Ono nf the banJs
to bo treated with was a fierce trlbo of
Slpux. They were In camp near the Yellowstone -
stone river. They were cutthnwtH and rob-
ber. > of the worst tvpo. and tonic moro de
light In slaying whites than In eating. There
worn two of the band near the river when
the party landed , and Captain La Barge and
his Interpreter advised that they send these
two to the camp , some six miles dlctant anj
request the chief to como down.
"Tut. tut , " said General Curtis. "Tell
them to bring the whole bandVo want
to treat with them all. I am not afraid of
Indians. " Captain La Barge and the Inter
preter urged that only thu chiefs bo sum-
mor.pd ,
"You are afraid of Indians , " cnld General
Curtis to Captain La Barge. This remark
hurt the pride of the captain.
"All right ; I will dci as you say. general ;
but we will see who Is afraid of Indians , you
or I. "
AN INDMN SCAHE ,
The two Indians found near the bank were
dlspatrhed to ttie band. They returned with
about COO warriors , They piled on board and
roiiieil about hero anil there re though they
owned the place. Wearying of curiosity
seeking , they became boisterous anili began
tn haul things from the boat to the shore.
It was evident ILat they meant mlvchlcf , and
It waa apparent that a storm wait brewing ,
which meant the massacre of all on board.
Captain M Bar e kept up a full head of
steam and stationed a man near the rope
OOWN WITH VELVET RUCIIINd FROM HARPER'S ItAZAR
This gown , fashioned to have a reJIngotc appearance , has the skirt ot majluni
width , with a decided llare , while It atlll Is tight-fitting. It fastens -it ono side , and
there is a band of narrow fur or of black velvet niching down the length of the skirt
tfom the belt to the hem. The body ot the waist Is very graceful , and while evidently
tlght-ntttag , Is quite loose In effect. The cut of this gown Is furnished by a tlssuo
paper pattern Issued by Harper's Bazar , whore It appears. The distinctive port of It It
the revere , which turn over until they reach nearly to the top of the aleovo , and there
Is also one rover which turns over and then tapers down Into a point , where It la
fastened over at ont-i side of the waist. There IB a wide tlaring collar and deep cuffs ,
Jiid revers. cuffs and collar alt are- faced with dead-white mclrc , with around the
cclt'cs a narrow niching of black velvet ribbon gathered very full through the center.
Wliero the revers open at the throat Is a chemisette either or cloth or velvet , and the
belt Is of velvet. The sleevca are nearly tight-fitting and of the regular coat pattern.
which bound the boat to the shore. Then ho
looked about for the bravo General Curtis.
Ho and his commission had locked them
selves In their state room. They would not
oomn out. Meanwhile the Indians grow
moro nnd moro daring. They carried off sev
eral articles to the shore , and grow Insult
ing and menacing. At length Captain La
Barge gave the signal to the man at the
rope. The ax flew to Its work. The rope
was severed. The boat swung out Into the
river , with fiOO hostile Indians aboard. U
took them by surprise. Those on shore did
not lire for fear of killing many of their
own people. These on board looked be
wildered , and then they began Jumping over
board and swimming to shore ; finally not
ono was left. Captain. La Barge then an
chored on the opposlto bank and went to
the room where General Curtis had locked
himself In.
"Come out , general , " ho said. "Wo have
got rid of the Indians. Now , who Is afraid
of them , you or I ? " "Through the rcnn'mler '
of the voyage , " says Captain La Barge ,
"whenever I advised certain matters In re
gard to the Indians General Curtis took my
Another narrow escape which Captain La
IMrge experienced happened In the MOs. He
was then engaged la the fur trade and had
ur ised the envy and Jmilou y of Henry Pl-
cotte , who was In charge of Fort Pierre and
under whom La Barge was conducting bus
iness. Picotto summoned La Barge and or
dered him to remove a quantity of soodu
from .1 tribe of dangerous Slonx Indians.
"Those Indians are dangerous , " said La
Barge.
"I know It , " said Plcotte. "But I ordered
you to go. "
"It's a mission that vnu would not under
take , " demurred La ( Barge.
"TlMt in-kcs ro illffprencn. " WPI" the reply.
"I will go , " and La Barge set forth.
At the Big Cheycnno river he wecL to the
abode * of Zephlr Kancente , a half-brccd In
terpreter. "I want you to go with mi * , " said
La 'Barge. '
"I can't Ic'ivo my post here. "
"Plcotte ordered It. "
"Then It Is all Hunt. " Plr-otle had not
ordered It , but La iBarge knew it was certain
death to go alone.
On the way the Interpreter said that ho
did not fear for himself , but for hid friend
La Barge.
THEACIIEHY FOILED.
They reached the ramp. The Indians re
fused to allow the goods to bo removed. TJiev
placed La Barge In a tepee and set two of
