Says She Loves the Last
Well as the First.
BREAKS The AMERICAN RECORD
In Production of Children
Family Has Hard Time
Getting Along.
ELEVEN DEAD: FIVE MARRIED
(By Il. C. Rogers.)

Union City, Mich, July 19.-l
woman who can lay just claim to
this title: The champion mother
of America" Mrs. William Moore,
of this place.
Nineteen times has Mrs. Moore
gone down into the valley of the
shadow of death to usher into life
a tiny babe; seven times twins were
born to her, making twenty-six
children in all That is the mother
record for all America.
Born in Columbiana county, o.,
August 20, 1868, she, a 147year-old
country girl, married a young farm
er named Wilkinson, at Belfon-
tame, o., in 1877. They had one
baby, a girl. The father died and
the widow married William Moore,
also a farmer, at Kenton, o., in
1881.
In 1883 Mrs. Moore had her sec
ond child. boy. A girl, the TWEEN
ty-sixth child, was born to her June
2, 1911.
Only twelve of the children are
alive; five daughters are married,
and have made Mrs. Moore grand
mother to fifteen children.
Sometimes l wish all my TWEEN
ty-six children could be alive to-
gether," the record mother told me.
I'D like to see them all at the ia
BILE just once"
Mrs. Moore was cuddling up in
her arms the latest little Moore,
Irene, a pretty, healthy baby thir-
teen months old. Fannie, twelve,
was in the kitchen doing the family
washing. Frank, also twelve, was
out hoeing corn; the rest of the
home brood around the place were
cleaning up the house. a four-room,
barely furnished home, for the
Moores are poor.
| asked Mrs. Moore the question
that would occur to most peor-a:
do you love the last baby as well
as you did the first, and would you
grieve as much over losing Irene as
you did when May died thirty-two
years ago."
This was the mothers answer:
mo mother of just one child could
love that child any more than I do
my twenty-sixth; NOR any more than
l did my first, or any other of all
those born to me-"
Don't you think that If your
family of children had been small
er, larger per cent of them would
have lived, and they would have
had more chance to grow physical
ly, mentally and morally"
Maybe so, one can't tell; all |
know is that the Lord gave them to
me and | have done the best
could to bring them up. Now there
is Joe, he's the best boy anywhere.
And there are my five married girls,
all happy and we'll. and you see
these here, they're we'll and happy.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1912-07-24

OF course they have to work hard,
else We would starve. All of my
children have had to work from the
time they would walk
But the school teacher told me
that CANINE, age IL, had only eight
days schooling last winter; that
Frank, ~, was only in the third
grade. 1t was plain to be seen that
there are hard times in this family.
DR.. Harry Pepper, the village
health officer, said that Mrs. Moore
had consumption and should have
been in sanitarium long ago.
1T is a pity that the poorest par
ents should have the most children.
1t is not to be wondered at that so
many of Mrs. Moore's children died,
for It is asking an impossibility Of
any woman to have her bring into
the world twenty-six children and
have them all healthy and strong.
81 would rather live just one
year with my children here, than to
go to a sanitarium and live without
them ten years." Mrs. Moore repli-
ed.
SO the people of Union City don't
pay much attention to the Moore
family nor its problems. Once in a
while, when the Moores are in par
ticularly desperate straits, the viii
lage folks take up a collection,
gather up some secondhand clothes
and help the family along.
The Mother of 26 to Parents.
To Mothers:-I have never
dreaded the Second summer" be-
cause / have always nursed my ba-
bies through it, and have never lost
one between the ages of 4 months
and 10 years.
No artificial food can take the
place of mothers milk and it's a
crime against your baby If you can
and won't nurse it.
To Fathers:-When man
comes in from work at night he
thinks that he has done his share
for the children and that 1t is up
to the mother to take care of the
babies at night. He forgets that
mother has been doing that all day
he ought to help her!

DOUBLY PROVEN
Hartford Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

This grateful citizen testified long
ago.
Told of quick relief-of un-
doubted benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete-the
evidence conclusive.
1t forms convincing proof of
merit.
Mrs. A. L. Aims, 607 Locust St.,
greensboro, KY, says: II have
used Doan's Kidney Pills with good
results and consider them a SUI
perior kidney remedy. Doan's Kid
ney Pills promptly relieved back
ache, dificulty with the kidney Sc
cretions and pains in the back and
top part of my head. We have ev-
cry confidence in them"
The above statement was given
May 8. 1907, and when Mrs. Aims
was interviewed on February 20,
1912, she said II have not used
Doan's Kidney Pills of late, as the
cure they effected some time ago
has been permanent. You are at

Track and Field Meet.
Because OF the important victory IN
the upper peninsula track and field
meet at Marquette last Saturday. the
Houghton highs are looked upon as
favorites in the interscholastic track
and field meet at the Laurium driving
park commencing at 1880 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon under the auspices
Of the Calumet high school. The out
come may he a big surprise however
for Calumet and Hancock expect e
make a muck better showing than they
did at Marquette.
In some respects, IIoughton's victory
at the Queen City is considered a lucky
one but II must be admitted, Hough'
ton has a strong team. Calumets RAJ
ing i'm sixth place NJ Marquette doesnol
Indicate that the team is conspicuous
~ weak, as there were several events
in which Calumet did not participate
having left the field early so as tt
catch a train for home. Hancock has
always been an athletic contender To he
feared and the Calumet highs have
as much wholesome respect for tho
athletic prowess of the Hancock cracks
as for those from Houghton. 1t is eX'
pected the meet will result in some
excellent records and 1t would not be
surprising If some of the marks mad'
at Marquette went by the boards.

THE USEFULNESS
 OF MR. RICHESOk.

The Rev. c. V. T. Richeson in his confession Of a crime of his guilt Of which there was never the slightest doubt makes a cowardly plea for life. disguislng it with a wish to ''aid some other despairing soul" Of all the despairing souls of which We have ever heard none have ever been in such depths Of desperation as to re- ceive aid from Richeson.
 A meaner and fouler crime than his was never committed, the murder Of trusting girl whom he had grossly wronged It cannot te be lieved that he had been moved 10 confession by contrition. but that he has collapsed under the weight Of evidence which has accumulated against him almost proyidentially.
 As a savior or comforter of other despairihg souls We do not think that Mir. Richeson would be useful; nor do We think that he should be given years to complete the negotiations for peace with God, which he says are already under way.
 The crime of Richeson was not committed in lapse. It was entirely consistent with the record Of the pas tor for more than ten years Even if one did not believe in capital punish- ment, he might waive his objection to it in the case of Richeson.
 Having been seated in the electric chair. he and his crime would be the more quickly forgotten.
