WATCH
CHANGES FEB, |.
EACH OF THREE WATCHES WILL
BE SHIFTED ONCE EACH THIRTY
DAYS, TO START BEGINNING OF
NEXT MONTH.

In accordance with a plan which
the marshal has had under considera-
ton for some time, and which was
lately suggested by the board of pub
lie safety, each of the three police
watches will be changed or shifted on
the first day of February. to be con-
tinually changed eacn month. and thus.
it Is declared. lettering the police
service great deal. The marshal
stated that the shifts would be started
on the first Of the coming month and
then be shifted monthly thereafter.
The change also will include the cap
tains Of each watch, thus during the
year dividing up the night and day
work between the respective com
handing officers Of the respective
watches.
The same order will apply also to
the desk sergeants, while the turn
keys and patrol drivers, who have
been compelled to stand watches of
twelve hours each for the past several
months, will be changed to alternate
night and day watches. The opinion
is that an extra man will be procured
for each of the two positions, and il
this is the case those employees of the
police department will be given the
benefit Of the 8-hour watch also.

NO VACATIONS
FOR R. R. MEN
ORDER HAS GONE FORTH THAT
NO ONE WILL BE GIVEN LEAVE
OF ABSENCE UNTIL AFTER
MARDI GRAS Is OVER.

Anticipating the heaviest travel that
has ever favored this place as a Mardi
Gras centre, the local division of the
L. & N. railroad company has issued
an order that no vacations will be al
lowed trainmen until after the MardI
Gras celebration is at an end, thus
indicating that heavy traffic in the
passenger department is expected.
Not only has such step been taken to
meet the emergency, but sleepers
have been asked for the local division,
and it is expected that these are to
be operated on trains Nos. and 2
from the east, through this point and
to New Orleans, to be returned on
trains Nos. 8, and from the north.
The sale of Mardi Gras tickets is not
to start on the low rate basis until
about, ten days, but right now, the
railroad men say, there is a heavy
movement toward the gulf coast points
and Pensacola is getting its share OF
the travel. 1t is nothing now, the pas
senger railroad men say, to what will
start soon after the low rates are
available.

A SKELETON
ONCE ON A TINE
Now Mrs. |. A. Decker, of Clyde, KY,
Says She Is Well and Happy
Through Taking
Cardu.

Clyde, Ky.-'1 can safely recommend
Cardui, the womans tonic, to any lady
who is in need Of medicine" writes
Mrs. !. A. Decker, of this place.
TT has been very beneficial to me
and I can say that there is nothing
like it for weak women.
For five years was not able to do
my work. Half of my time spent in
bed. I suffered with female weakness
and took such nervous spells 1 could
not stand on my feet. I suffered with
my back and side. and fell off till be-
came a skeleton.
AT last took Cardui and now l am
well and happy and can do my own
work"
Cardui is prepared from the natural
plant, not from mineral synthetic COM
pounds, and contains no coal tar
products or other results Of laboratory
experiments.
The Cardui ingredients are import
ed at great expense directly from
abroad and have been used for nearly
half century in the manufacture OF
this famous tonic medicine for women.
Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle in
! action, by preventing unnecessary pain
and building up strength, Cardui has
shown itself necessary remedy for
weak women. Try 1t.

NAPoLEONS DEATH AT ST.
HELENA.

wild was the night; yet a wilder night
Hung round the soldiers pillow;
In his bosom there waged a fercer
fight
Than the fight on the wrathful bill
low.
A few fond mourners were kneeiing
The few that his stern heart
cherfsh'd;
They knew by his glazed and unearth-
ly eye.
That life had nearly perish'd.
They knew by his awful and kingIy
BY tae order hastily spoken,
That he dreamed of days when the
nations shock,
And the nations hosts were broken.
He dreamed that the Frenchman's
sword still slew,
And triumphed the Frenchman's
eagle:
And the struggling Austrian fed
Like the hare before the beagle.
The bearded Russian he scourgeG
again,
The Prussian camp was routed,
And again, ON the hills Of naughty
Spain,
His mighty armies shouted.
Over Egypt's sands. over Alpine
SHOWS,
At the pyramids, at the mountain,
Where the wave Of the lordly Danube
flows,
And by the Italian fountain.
On the snowy cliffs, where mountain
Dash by the 6wftxer's dwelling,
He led again In his dying dreams,
His hosts, the broad earth quelling.
Again Marengo's field was won,
And Jena's bloody battle;
Again the world was overrun,
Made pale at the lannon's rattle.
He died at the close OF that darksome
day,
A day that shall live in story;
In the rocky land they placed his
clay,
And left him alone in his glory"
