st. Adams Messenger.
Yes. why not? Granted that a
large number of persons in this
country would disapprove of the
methods that would be adopted by
the Colonel, granted that our consti-
tutional lawyers would accuse the
former president of violating all pre-

evident that what Mexico needs is

that it was she who broke the engage

McClay is 54 years old, has two

"Miss Legg had a claim In north

was there that she wrote. suggesting l

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not n
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
enc with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which ii is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming thai
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable

A ROMANCE
Room Remains Untouched foi
Years After Being Left
by Bride

st. Louis. Oct. l1.-Investigation
of the stories of the finding Of q
large sum of money on the farm of
the kellam brothers near Piasa has
caused a peculiar story to be brought
from the farm house. The brothers
deny that any treasure was found.
Harmon Denny, a former assessor
ct Alton and now a resident of Plana,
tells OF an unhappy marriage of one
OF the Kellam brothers thirty years
ago, in which the bride left because
the bachelor brother was too much in
the company of his brother and caused
the wife to become lonesome.
For thirty years. Denny states, the
room where the clothes of the bride
hung and her effects were kept, nothing
has been touched, and the room stands
today Just as it was when the bride
left.
The dresses hang on the hooks Just
as she placed them thirty years ago. he
says.
The brothers built a new house on
the farm and no n ever went into the
old house where the woman's garments
hung. There are persons who testify
that for the last thirty years persons
passing could see the woman's gar
ments hanging in the room through the
windows, but that no one ever SAW a
living person about the house, not aven
one OF the brothers.
The treasure was said to have been
