BABY RESTORED
TO ITS MOTHER
WHO DESERTED IT
Mrs. Olive McKenSie
Happy Again After
Days of Misery,

A very tired young mother closed her
eyes last night in the House OF Deten-
ton and is tOday hugging to her breast
the baby which, only last Thursday
night. she left on the doorstep of hos
ptsble home.
Mrs. Olive McKensie, aeartsore and
alone in a strange city. found rest last
night for the first time since she left
the Homeopathic Hospital and looks to
the kindly offices of sympathizing
strangers To help her through the
trouble which has overtaken her SO
many miles from her home and friends
When Mrs. McKensie went To the
Police Court yesteday TO answer the
charge Of abandoning her baby, she
was almost a nervous wreck n Few
minutes after she had left the baby on
the steps OF Justice Browns home, the
mother heart in her cried out for her
child, but it was too late, and she was
forced to face the consequences Of her
deed-forced to drink the cup OF sorrow
which she had raised TO her own lips
Filled With Remorse.
All night Thursday and again Friday
she hungered for the baby she had de-
serted.
Added TO the loneliness Of her heart
was the thought that perhaps the little
one had died IN the suit case IN which I;
had been snugly tucked. Again came
the thought that other harm may have
come TO it. and the conflicting emotions
within her wore out her energy, tore at
her heart strings Ultu when finally she
confessed her story TO Tine matron of
the House of Detention, the young girl
was worn out mentally and physically.
She could not eat nor could she sleep
throughout the days and nights and
instead OF standing before the court to
answer the charge. the desolate little
moher had to be placed under the care
OF a physician. Last night through
sheer exhaustion. she fell asleep. but
throughout the night she Weakened again
and again. only TO meet the realization
Of her plight and suffer the fun measure
of her remorse-
All She Wants Is Baby.
Mrs. .McKensie is a petite brunette,
slight OF figure. and with a child-iike
expression. Her one cry has been for
the baby she so lately put aside, and
her one thought always 10 take it back
and give it the love and tender care
which it so narrowly missed

A NEW ADDIrIos TO MEXICO
"Lawderdale,' at Francis to be Cut
up in Town Lots and the Ad-
joining Lawder Property in
Five to Twenty Acre
Tracts.

Chas. Fl. Drake, OF this city am
nounces to-day that he has completed
all arrangements for his plan Of max
ing a new addition to Mexico, and In
the near future will offer to the pub
lie, town lots In Lawderdale.
"Lawderdale, probably betterknown
at presentas Francis, is about one mile
east of this city, and is the location Of
the Altons round house, coaling
station and switching yards. In i'd
dition to the town lots, the remainder
Of the Lawder property, one OF the
prettiest and largest farms in Audrain
county, will be sub-divided In tracts
ranging from five TO twenty acres and
placed on the market with the town
lots.
Lawderdale and the adjoining tracts,
crowns the tops of a bill overlooking
both East lake and the Burlington
lake, and is decidedly, one Of the
prettiest and healthiest spots in the
county. The move to make 1t an
addition to Mexico will undoubtedly
meet with the hearty approval and
support OF the entire city.
The date of the opening and other
particulars will be made known later.

Washington, Feb. GA human
hand nailed to telegraph pole is the
grewsome find made by people Of For
estville, Maryland suburb Of this
city. 1t was found yesterday and re-
ported TO the local authorities to-day.
Thus far the owner OF the hand has
not been discovered and the impress
sion is general that 1t was put there
by grave robbers, who, after taking .
cadaver from grave, out of a spirit
Of flendishness, cut the hand from the
body and nailed it to the telegraph
pole,
Another theory is that 1t is hand OF

Are They Benefit or q Nuisance to
The People Generally.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO Mo-, February s, 1907
Dear Sir, Now that the high IL
cense question has been settled fol
Mexico, what next?
So it is necessary to look long and hard
for another problem over which the
enfranchised may puzzel their "think
boxes" for the good of the populace?
For subject at random let's take
Dogs. In the first place, is there
citizen Of the town who can guess
within 500 of the number Of worthless
ours domiciled within the corporate
limits.
Secondly is there one who can es
innate within three centsof the valut
of said dogs?
Thirdly, are they benefit or
disturbance to the town? Now Mr.,
Editor let me ask question. Can
man under the ordinances own ant
keep as many as he pleases? Does II
cost anything? Ifso, what? And II
it does how may we know when the
cost has been paid?
In walking home from the square
few days ago saw quite number Of
dogs, two Of which wore collars and
tags. Why did those two wear tags.
