COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Flans a
Comfortable Refuge for
the AgecL
Hans 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, U 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 hi3 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 ahoma,
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
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."

the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Kotor Boat Invented by Frenchman
Goes at Express Train
Speed.
Among the many Interesting experi
ments with motor boats, says the Lon
don Mail, perhaps the most pictur
esque were those on the Seine al
Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert
in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion
and Bouton, brought out their bateau
glisseur, or gliding boat It is also
called a hydroplane, and that name is
really indicative of its construction.
With a De Dion 14-horse power mo
tor, the count attained a speed of 2S
kilometers an hour in his first ex
periments, and now he has added tc
that speed and has made 32 Kilome
ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
The inventor of this hydroplane ii
not, however, content with this, and
will try in a day or two to raise th<
speed to 3fr or even 40 kilometers, oi
25 miles an hour, or a speed that i!
not exceeded by the use of a 40-hors«
power motor.
The boat Itself is 36 feet long anc
nine feet wide. To the bottom of th<
boat are affixed five planes or fins
When the boat is stationary these fins
hang vertically in the water. Thej
are hinged, however, and are all undei
control of the driver. When the mo
tor is set in motion and the boai
begins to move these planes, begin
ning at the bow, are gradually giver
a backward angle. The boat rises ii
the water and then gradually resti
upon it, with the stern of the boa
only immersed. The speed increases
and the boat, following the inclinatioi
of the planes, glides along the surfac<
of the water just as an aeroplane
glides on the air, and with not mud
more resistance.
It is confidently expected that witl
an increased horse-power motor tin
hydroplane will reach a speed of
miles an hour.

The casket containing the precioui
stones, necklaces, etc., has been pro

soon as the affairs of the late queen an
cleared up and the contents of her pal

who has charge of all these matters
will distribute the Jewels among th<
royal family of Spain.
On the other hand, the furniture, ob
Sects of art and all the other treasure

It is well known that the contents o
the Palais de Castille are marvels o
beauty and worth and constitute a verl
table museum. Several offers havi
been made for the palace itself and th<

HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Diffl
cutties in Getting Goods to Cap
ital of Guatemala.
A Mobile merchant sold some cottoi
?oods not long ago to be delivered a
Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of hi
warehouse a steamer was loading fo
Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railwa:
to within 60 miles of the Guatemala]
capital. To reach the latter the good
would have to be packed over the moun
tains by Indians or on muleback. Th
merchant found it cheaper to ship b:
way of San Francisco, thence by boat t
San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap
Ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus o
tne soutnerci racinc, is annual umiuuu
to Mobile. New York, however, en
joyed a cheaper rate because there wa
competition with the routes across th
Atlantic and thence round Cape Horr
So the goods were sent by boat to Nei
York, thence by boat back to New Or
leans, and thence on their way, goin,
nearly 10,000 miles instead of 1,100 b
the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil
ity to get at the west coast markets ha
done much to keep American goods ou
of them. Guatamala has now arrange
for the speedy completion of the rail
way from the Caribbean to the capita
and a cheap direct route will thus b
opened.

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are a most remarkable remedy,
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
! ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex
hausted condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack,
i; If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
j effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
,; dangerous drugs.
“For a. long time I have suffered
, j greatly with spella of backache, that
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
' ' never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be
began the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pils, and they always relieve me in a
short time. My sister, who suffers
. the same way, has used them with
the same results." MRS. PARK,
721 S. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
