CARRIAGE DRIVER TALKS

The recent crimes committed in and
around Birmingham have proven to be
a bonanza for the public carriages oper-
ating in this city Saturday night they
all had as much travel as they could ac-
eomodate. The citizens, who could not get
home early in the evening abandoned their
old habits of walking or riding on the
street cars to their homes and sought
protection en- route. from the much abused
"eabby." As result the pockets of the
eabmen are this morning juggling with
dollars and halves, collected as cab fare.
Those living in the suburbs went home
in twos threes and in some instances
quartettes. 1t Is said that all resembled
walking arsenals,' but of course were
not looking for tronbe..
Several of the merchants of Birming-
ham decided that 1t was best to call for
their private vehicles to convey them
home when the business hours mad come
to an end for the week Saturday night

to leave his stand on Twentieth street
late Saturday night with two residents of
the South Highlands which twenty-five

people are not afraid to walk home this
time of night but I guess they feel
much safer in a closed carriage than they

advantage of the exciting events in and
about Port Arthur during its lombard
ment and surrender, as the theme for
his great spectacular display for the sea-
son of 1905.
Mr.. Pain and his managers consider
this the most beautiful war spectacle
of all he has ever produced, and in its
completion all the genius of his great
staff of artists, pyrotechnists, electricians
and stage mechanics has been brought in
to play to produce realistic effects
A number of high class acrobatic special

Frisco Kid tells an interesting story
of how he polished the shoes of President

Dewey paid him half a dollar for the
job. President Roosevelt was too busy to
pay him anything he says.

Prevent
As Well As Cure
Headache

II subject to headache, take
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills when
you feel the first indication of
an attack, and you will find
that they rarely ever fail to
stop further progress.
Pain weakens the nerves, and
the longer you suffer, the more
frequent will be the attacks.
On the contrary, if the
nerves are relieved of this
weakening influence, the at
tacks will be less frequent, and
finally disappear altogether.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
contain no opium, cocaine, NOR
phine or choral in any form.
They are absolutely harmless
If taken as directed, and will
have no other effect, except to
drive out the pain.
"Dr. Miles ANTI Pain Pills are all
right, and l can recommend them to
any one In need of remedy for head
ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind.
My health is not very good, and I am
subject to frequent attacks of severe
headache, but since | began taking
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills | do not
suffer from that trouble as / used to.
They never fail TO give relief in a few
minutes, and If taken promptly on the
