By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HAVE you a “Lovers’ Leap” tn your locality? If you haven't, then it’s unique, and you might well capitalize upon that fact and. In advertising to tourists the a attractions of your region, ▼ assure them that “this is the a only place In the United ” States which does not have ----------- among its scenic beauties a single Lovers’ Leap." Just how many of these places there are is unknown. But start anywhere In the East and drive West and you’ll find plenty of them. There’s one be tween Little Falls and Danube, N. Y„ a rocky bill overlooking the Erie canal and the Mohawk river. Visit Starved Rock park between Ottawa and La Salle, Bl., and you will be shown a rocky projection “from which an B- llnl warrior and nls sweatheart leaped to death in the river, rather than de liver themselves into the hands of their enemies.’’ Visit Independence, Iowa, and they will tell you that Ce dar rock, near Quasqueton, is also called "Lovers’ Leap” where “the In dian lovers, Wapsle and Pinicon, from whom the Wapslpinicon got its name, are supposed to have plunged to their deaths in the swirling waters of the river.” And out in Oakdale, Calif., they will sell you a post card picture of "Lover’s Leap on the road between Oakdale end Knights Ferry where a mythical Indian maiden committed sui cide by leaping into the river.” While nearly every township or county can boast of at least one Lov ers’ Leap, Mackinac Island In northern Michigan has the distinction of having two places where love's young dream found a tragic ending. The guide books will tell you of “Lover’s I>enp—This lone pinnacle rises to a height of 145 feet above the waters of Lake Michi gan about a mile west of the main part of the city. The legend which gives it its name is that In the long ago the beautiful Lotnh, an Indian maiden of the Olbway tribe and only daughter of a famous chief named Wawanosh. watched from this height the depart ure of her lover, named Genlwegwon. with a war expedition across the wa ter; and to the rock she came day after day to await his coming. At last, the party returning without him. brought word of his death and the distracted maiden not caring for life any longer leaped from this diff; the Ufeless body was found by her father at the foot of the precipice the eve ning after.” Then there is Robertson’s Folly, where “ ’Tia told that a young and beautiful Indian girl was wooed and won by this dashing young Lieutenant Robertson, but the poor maiden soon learned that be was to depart for the East at an early date to marry a white girl. He granted her a last farewell meeting at this their trystlng place. A Buff Orphlngton hen belonging to Mrs. 8. P. Robertson, Jefferson coun ty, Is proving a champion In produo- Ing large eggs.
