COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Haus Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp.
“He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
in when he gets too old to catch freights,
so long as he had to build himself a home,
ha declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 6,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money in
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he argues that by a little work,
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon he
is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon.as he finds one he will take
his money out of the bank and build."
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE
magnificent Volume to Be Sent by
Children of New Orleans
Parish to Pius X.
The exquisite album which is to be
presented to his holiness, the pope, by
the Children of Mary, of the Jesuit
church, of New Orleans, has been
finally completed and will be borne to
his holiness along with the magnifi
cent pontifical sandals, by Mr. Kelly,
on the occasion of the golden jubilee
of the immaculate conception.
The album is a work of art and a
thing of beauty. It is bound In
snow white antique silk, and the cor
ners and clasps are of pure gold
Near the left-hand lower corner of
the cover is the pope’s crest, whil«
across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs" in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
the right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by members
of the sodality, and written in either
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans.
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,
1854-1904."
The album represented three months’
work.

WANTS $400,000
—
To Build Two More Locks and
Dams on the White River
in Arkansas.
Washington, Jan. 29.—Senator
Berry of Arkansas said yester
day that he will make a vigorous
fight in the senate to secure a
larger allowance in the river and
harbor bill for the White river
in Arkansas than is carried in
the measure as reported by the
house committee.
Several years ago a plan was
adopted by congress which de
signed ten locks and dams for
the stream. Two have been
built and only money enough is
now appropriated to maintain
them.
Senator Berry confidently ex
pects to get an appropriation for
two more locks and dams at a
cost of $200,000 each.
SENATOR GROSS
MAY RECOVER.
Van Buren, Jan. 29.—A tele
phone message received this
evening from. Cedarville, the
home of Senator A. T. Gross, re
ports the senator’s condition
much improved, and he is now
on a fair road to recovery, and
his friends expect him to be able
to return to his duties in the sen
ate in the near future.

Why pay excess premiums expecting dividends which never materialize;
when by taking a policy in the Metropolitan the insured can keep the dividends in

You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon de
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine.

attacks of LaGrippe which left me
very weak, and in bad condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife, after trying different remedies,
went for a doctor. The doctor was
out, and a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles’ Nervine, and she brought home
a bottle. I had not slept for some time,
and had terrible pains in my head.
After taking a few doses of Nervine
the pain was not so severe, and I
slept. I am now taking the second
bottle, and am very much improved.

Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your

first bottle will benefit. If It fails, he
