PIXIES TOLD OF TREASURE.
Superstitious Cornishman Digging for
the Buried Gold.

Superstitious beliefs still linger in the
remote villages of Cornwall, and the
tenacity with which many of the Cornish
folk cling to them is strikingly illustrated
by a remarkable story of a search for
hidden treasure which comes from Wen
dron.
Nearly half a century ago an old lady
named Varker lived in a cottage, at
Lower Bodily. in the parish of Wen
dron, which had the reputation of being
haunted by ghosts. One night she de-
clared that two pixies had paid her a
visit and told her that vast treasure
was hidden beneath the cottage.
With the reputation which the humble
dwelling had for being haunted, the story
was received with considerable credenCc
in the district. 1t made such an impress
sion on her two sons that they imme-
diately commenced to eXcavate for the
treasure. Taking up the floor of one of
the rooms, they sank shaft to the
depth of several fathoms. Water in
vaded the shaft and pumps and other
appliances were erected for draining and
hauling. The premature death of one
of the brothers led to the abandonment
of the operations without any treasure
being discovered.
Now, after the lapse of forty years.
the search for the supposed hidden treas
ure has been resumed by w. II. Narker.
a resident of Goldsithney and grandson
of the Old lady who held communication
with the pixies. In the interval the cot
tage has been demolished, but Mr.. Var
ker has located the site. and with the
help of another man from the neigh
borhood is engaged in sinking a shaft.
The excavations already extend to a
depth of twenty-four feet. of which sew
enteen feet is vertical and the remainder
on au incline. Pumps and machinery
are in course of erection and the explorer
is sanguiue of success.
Some of the older folk in the district
entertain the belief that the cottage
marked the site of smugglers' den and
that the sinking of the shaft will lead

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect Of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change Of life.
THrRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many Of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to OWomen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter,
in-law Of Lydia L. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad
visingsick women free of charge. Outoi
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will helI
your case. Surely, any woman, rich OF
poor, is very foolish II she does not take
advantage Of this generous offer Of
assistance.
