THE TALKATIVE MAN.
He Finds Times When Talking Isn’t
Profitable—One of Them.
"I find*” said a talkative man, “that
there are times when it is better to
keep one’s mouth shut, when talking
dqesn’t pay, but on the contrary.
"Things had been quiet, you know,
in politics—almost, as you migh say,
stagnant—and then this cyclone struck
us and men spun around and shook
their fists at each other and shouted
‘Liar!’ ‘Horse thief!’ ‘Cannibal!’ and
all sorts of things, and the atmosphere
was full of brickbats and clubs and
there was a general shindy all around,
and the more oil you poured on the
troubled waters the higher the waves
got and the more things boiled.
“This, you know was something like;
some electricity in the air; something
doing, and life was worth living with
everybody figuring, and there was
something to talk about, and day before
yesterday, when I sat down in my den
tist’s chair, I asked him what he
thought about it all. Things have
surely got a little cayenne in ’em now,
you think? And he «aid
thing and I answered back and
Jnutnta Wlbtrn*
talked and talked, I doing most of the
talking, I guess, for half an hour or
t so, and then I says to him:
“But say! I’m taking up too much
; of your time, I guess, ain’t I?”
> “No; oh, no,’ he says, “not at all, not
. at all. I charge for time you know,
on this work I’m doing, and charge this
all up to you.”
‘‘Well, do you know at that I closed
; right up? I mean I sat back and
: opened my mouth and kept it open and
। didn’t say another word —not there. J
; do love to talk, but there are times
। when I don’t find it profitable, and that
appeared to be one of them. Don’t you
think?” —New York Sun.
Rebuffed.
Fraternal Insurance Agent—Mad
am, does your husband belong to the
Ready Workers?
Mrs. Chisel (slamming the door) —
No, and he isn’t one of the readily
worked either. —From Judge.
Modest.
New Arrival (at Boston hotel.) —
Can I have a private bath?
Clerk —I hope so, sir.—Puck.

ARMY MONEY FOR SOUTH
Large Sums to Be Spent on Im*
provements and New Works.
FOR PENSACOLA, FU„ HARBOR
A Million Dollars Was Appropriated.
List of Other Posts Which Are
to Be Improved.
Washington, D. C. —While It has
not yet been decided by the war de
partment, owing to the short time
which has passed since congress ap
propriated the money, how all of the
military appropriations for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1910, will be
spent, it is believed that the south
will receive a goodly -share of the
money.
Os the more than $4,000,000 asked
for to be used for barracks and quar
ters, $3,500,000 was granted. The cut
in the amount asked for will mean, of
course, that some of the construction
work which the department had plan
ned to do during the next fiscal year
must be deferred. ,
For roads, walks, wharves and
drainage, the sum of $1,367,000 was
asked for, of which $1,100,000 was
granted. This means that most of
the work planned by the department
in this line can be carried out. It
was desired to spent at Fort Pickens,
Florida, $7,413; at Fort Morgan, Ala
bama, about $14,000; at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, about $37,000; at St.
Thomas, Ky., a little more than $15,-
000; at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., about
$4,500; at Key West Banks, Fla., $785;
at Fort Monroe, Va., $3,000, and at
Fort Barrancas, Fla., SIO,OOO, all of
the above being for road construction
and repair. At Fort Taylor, Fla.,
SB,OOO was asked for to construct a
wharf, which, it was stated, “will be
an expensive structure owing to its
great length and the character of the
bottom on which it is placed. This
is indepndent of the project for sea
wall and fill.’’
For grading and improving the
land at the following points appropri
ations, included in that for walks,
roads and so forth were asked for:
Fort Morgan, Ala., about $3,600; Fort
Barrancas, Fla., $10,000; Fort Scre
ven, Ga., $51,500; Fort St. Philip, La.,
$28,000; Fort Pickens, Fla., $20,500,
and Fort DeSoto, Fla., $10,650. For
deeping the channel to the wharft at
Fort Moultrie, Ga., $44,875 was asked
for.
In the matter of specific appropria
tions for fortifications and other
works of defense under the engineer
department of the army almost a
million dollars is allotted for Pensa
cola harbor and Galveston, to be
spent during 1910. For Pensacola
there is appropriated $507,000 to com
plete the sea walls for the protection
of the sites of the fortifications and
other necessary post buildings at
Forts Pickens and Mcßee, while $440,-
000 is appropriated for the construc
tion of a sea wall and fill for the pro
tection of the militatry reservation at
Fort Travis.
TEACHERS TO ORGANIZE.
United States and Canada Peda
gogues Will Fight For Rights.
Boston, Mass. —The 500,000 school
teachers of the United States and
Canada are to be formed into a gi
gantic league for the upbuilding of
the profession. The organization
will be known as “The North Ameri
can Teachers’ League.” The nation
al organizer is Frederic A. Tupper,
head master of the Brighton School
here.
The following outline of the pur
poses of the organization is given
out:
Higher salaries, pensions for teach
ers, tenure of office, national and
state aid to education, reciprocity in
state certificates, clearer definition
and extension of teachers’ legal
rights, academic freedom, encourage
ment of the highest professional skill
on the part of the teachers, more at
tention to school hygiene, play
grounds, gymnasiums and baths for
each school.
CONVICnEASING ENDS.
Georgia Prisoners Returned to Serv
ice of the State.
Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia’s convict
lease system ended, and hundreds of
prisoners, taken from mines, brick
kilns and factories, returned to the
service of the state.
Georgia has no penitentiary and for
years her convicts have been leased.
The 1,600 prisoners now will work
the public roads. Most of them are
blacks of a low order of intelligence,
sentenced for every conceivable time.
Though shackled and ironed, the
convicts greeted the change with
shouts of joy. Negro preachers were
at most of the stockades and led the
blacks in their impromptu praise serv
ice.
The new system, It Is believed, will
not only Improve the health of the
convicts, but will assure Georgia the
finest turnpikes in the south.
HASWALKEU 7700 MILER.
Sergeant John Walsh Starts on An
other Stroll Across Continent.
Boston, Mass. — Sergeant John
Walsh of the United States Army,
the long-distance walker, who arrived
in Boston, after having completed a
walk from Boston to San Francisco
and return, a distance of more than
7,700 miles, in 156 days, started off,
after a few hours’ rest, to repeat
the performance. Walsh left Boston
on August 12, 1908, and arrived in
San Francisco, October 23, according
to his statement. He said he lost
50 pounds, but felt strong and would
make the present trip in competition
with Edward Payson Weston, who
started from New York recently.

Nervous
Collapse
“I have traveled for thirty
years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling al
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. Dr. Miles’
Nervine came to my rescue —I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me.”
A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do —•
build up the nervous system by
the use of Dr. Miles’ Restora
tive Nervine. Its strength
ening influence upon the nerv
ous system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
