Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
TEN, centering in the brain.
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, cpl
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DIR. 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.
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
choral, cocaine or similar drugs.
"sick headache is hereditary in my
family. My father suffered a great
deal; and for many years l have had

trade, principally in low-grade light fab

And to tell the truth, she was well dressed, save for ono thing, the great rings in her ears, that made mo think of her probable Sou danese ancestress with . ring in her nose.

 All this fashion emerged from one of the rickety buildings that show here and there between tall flats on State street. the windows stuffed with rags, tho ap- pearance squalid in the extreme. But no matter what the home, what the in- come, a darky when abroad would be ashamed of himself if he failed to ape the latest styles.
 An exception occurs once in awhile. We may speak of the darky newsboys, the "flippers," that sell on the cars. They look poverty-stricken to the extent of not being able to make even bluff at style. Almost always they are ragged, their shoes badly in need of cobbling, and often they can't afford g strap for their papers, and have them secured by much-knotted rope. They are a marked contrast to the doctor" one sees with his bag and air of pompos- ity.

And it is reported of her that she is 2 most excellent nurse. Personally, we think we would prefer her. if she be the soft-voiced soft-handed, soft-mov- ing person she suggests, to the austere, superior, stifiy-starched trained nurse of the ordinary type
 The darky dudes, who can do them justice? As watch these gentlemen of leisure that lounge on State street so many hours of the day, am minded to deny that we have no leisure class in this country, no men that make a fine art of unemployed days. Surely here are they that take to heart the injunc- ton to consider the lilies that toll not neither spin, and, like the lilies, they are arrayed in glory of raiment In the spring they blossom at their best; light overcoats, delicate ties, light-colored hats, remarkable linen, a dancing mas- ter's air, of gallantry toward the weaker sex.
 We hesitated about saying flair sex. !" And yet, why should we have? For the powder-puff and the bleaching get in their work among not asfew of these South side bellies! The other day one entered the car with face so whitened that every passenger gasped. I knew personally two laundresses that worked strenuously at their hard trade, and when they went to ball at night would spend the earnings of . day to have their faces enameled. Too bad they aren't sensible and set up for themselves some- where a colored aristocrscy, a realm where the negro would take pride in his birth.

PEGGY FROM PARIS.

The story of Peggy from Paris"
 Which comes to Polls tomorrow night. cleverly satirizes the American habit of paying homage to distinguished Foreigners The narrative centers about Peggy Hummer of the rural village of Hickory Crick, H., who goes to Paris to study music. There her talent attracts the attention of an en- terprising theatrical manager, who seeing chance to extract golden eagles from the pockets of his country men with this gifted Illinois girl, in duces her to pretend she is foreigner and come to this country as Mile Fleurette Caramelle. a famous Paris ienne artist. Arriving in Chicago, Peggy telegraphs her relatives The message is delivered to her father, Captain Plummer, who with his daughter Lutie, and their friends, at once set out for Chicago to meet Peg gy. After mary and strange adven- lures in the big city, the party at length find themselves on the stage of the Paragon Theater. While the mys- tified Plummers are still in tic theater, they are involved in bewildering con- fusion. for suddenly the stage is set Tor the reception in honor of the eminent foreigner. Peggy comes. but even to her father and sister she denies her identity. Hummer. however, insists that she is his child and refuses to be convinced to the contrary, even wien Sophie Blatz, Peggy's German maid, is forced upon him as his daughter. Peggy takes apartments at Honeymoon Terrace where her father obtains sit uation as footman. Here, as Mile Euerette, she is sought by persons of various social degrees, all wing in showing her attentions. At length, wearying of the masquerade, Peggy, while surrounded by numerous com pany, declares her identity.
