The meanest headache in the world,
says the Booze Philosopher of the Wau-
kegan Evening News, is the one that
operates a merry go-round in your dome
Of thought the morning after a roundup
with the boys. 1t is an all-pervading
headache; you can feel it in your eyes
and taste it in your mouth, and it reaches
way down your back and winds itself
around your neck.
A man with booze headache can't
think of anything else, and is of no use in
the world while it lasts. The worst of it
is that there is no sympathy for him any
where. If he has an old-fashioned head
ache that didn t owe it's origin to the tall
black bottle, everybody feels sorry for him
and the neighbors milk the cow and do
the chores for him, and feed him jam and
cookies, and the minister drops around
and jollies him into a good humor and
the editor Of the local newspaper inter
views him and prints his picture and
dominates him for county supervisor.
But when the man with the booze head
ache tells friend what is hurting him.
the friend either laughs at him and tells
him to cut something out, or bores him
with lot of good advice, or says some
thing irrelevant touching the hair Of a
dog
And since booze headache is sillier
than peachbasket hat, what's the use of
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1909-09-24

The sense Of rest which comes from the
use of liquors is really deadly deception,
the actual result being loss rather than
increase of strength.

MAKE A stop IN GARY
Michigan Central Railroad
Officials Will Take Good
Look at the Town.

A number of Michigan Central rail-
road officials visited Gary yesterday
in their private coach. They came to
the steel city on their annual inspec-
ton trip and took a long stopover at
Gary because of the interest which they
felt in the city.
When the private coach came into
the city the first thing that entered
the minds of the people who saw them
was that Gary was soon to have a de-
pot, but then they began to recolIect
that the officials had promised the city
gates at the Broadway crossing and it
was understood that they had come to
the city for that purpose.
The only object that they had, how
ever, in making a stop at Gary was
merely to see the city and become con-
versant with IS growth. When other
favors were asked for by the city they
would then be in a better position to
know whether or not it was necessary.
The train was made up of one coach
and an engine and was headed east
ward from Gary.

LOVE FOR CHICKEN
NEGROES RUINATION
Four Are Captured by Gary
Police After Robbing
a Hen Coop.

The Negroes proverbial life for
chicken, put several Gary darkies in
trouble, from which they may have a
hard time extricating themselves,
Judging from the amount of evidence
that has already been secured against
them.
The best evidence against them were
fifteen chickens which they are charged
with having stolen last night from the
coop of John Sulski. who lives at
Eleventh avenue and Adams street.
About two-thirty last night John Sui
ski heard a noise in his chicken coop
which sounded suspicious to him.
Hastily dressing he went Outside and
there he found the chicken coop door
open. Fifteen of the birds were gone,
but instead he found an overcoat and
cap. These things he took to the po-
lice station. Officers Juric, Mulcahey
studied over the problem until it final
" struck Mulachely that he knew the
coat. He lead the way to the south
side where he knew that several ne
groes were putting up in a shack
Reaching Sixteenth avenue and
Pennsylvania street they entered a
shack there and found several negroes
sitting around. The officers searched
the house and soon found the chickens
which had already been killed. They
placed the fellows under arrest The
following were taken to jail: John
Williams. IS years old; P. ]. Haines. 4s
years; Joseph Weston. % years, and
Lester Rogers, 25 years old. Their
trial was set for today

The good, staid and simple minded
residents of ToIeston from now on can
fee perfectly safe going out of their
homes after dark and visiting their
neighbors with absolute safety. The
reports which have been current in
Tolleston for the past two weeks that
the old home of Ernest Traptow about
a mile west of Tolleston, was haunted
by ghosts have grown until 1t was up
to some one to solve the mystery or
the residents of Gary's sister city
homes at night.
To select men who were brave and
courageous enough to encounter all
the dangers of the workings of the
spirits was no small task. The Gary
police were called upon and responded.

remained waiting, hoping against hope
that something would turn up. Then
Senator Bowser came back with many
apologies. He had worn Manlove's hat
