WHERE LINCOLN "kEPT STORE"
Crsyon In the Capitol Building Of the Old
Salem Water Mill.

Salem Water Mill.
On the wall at the head Of the
main stairway of the capitol build
ing at Spring field, ILL.,, hangs
large work in crayon. 1t is just be-
low a historical picture representing
Col. George Rogers Clarke and party
of well-fed, plump soldiers making a
treaty with number of unusually clean,
well-groomed Indians of large stature.
The cravon picture is the work of Miss
Kate P. Dcgge, of st. Louis, Mo. It is
an accurate representation of one of
the most noteworthy spots in Illinois.
Its subject is the old water mill at
Salem, on the Sangamon river, in Me-
nard county.
Salem was something of town q
good many years ago, and Mr.. Lincoln
for time the postmaster of the village.
Water mills were scarce il Illinois
when Salem was thrifty place. There
were but few of them in all this coun-
try. Salem has disappeared off the
face Of the earth. Not house remains
to denote the location of the town where
Lincoln "kept store"
The mill was torn down some time
ago. Before it was destroyed Miss
Degge, who was great admirer of Mr..
Lincoln, made trip to Menard county
and sketched the old mill. From this
tracing she has worked out the picture
above referred to. She has presented
it to the state with her compliments
and obtained the right to photograph
the picture. The only condition ac-
companying the gift, aside from the
question of the photographs above men,
toned, was that she should be permit
ted to select the location for the pic
ture. She came to Springfield some
weeks ago, accompanied by her broth
er, and at her request the picture was
hung where it is to-day.
Secretary of State Hinrichson, who is
by law the custodian Of the capitol
building, accepted the compliment in
the name of the state. The legislature
should take action in the premises and
by joint resolution signify to Miss Degge
the appreciation of the people of the
state for her thoughtfulness and care in
preserving an accurate representation
of the old mill.

ssGrog." the sea term for rum and
water, it may not be generally known,
derived its name from Admiral Edward
Vernon, who wore Grogram breeches,
and hence was called ''Old Grog.'
About the year 1745 he ordered his sail
ors 10 dilute their rum with water.

badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit

called on me, and recommended Lydia
