Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of a westers 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 ns he had to build himself ahome, 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 I 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."

This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom ach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by sooth ing, strengthening and reliev ing the tension upon the nerves —not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
