CONVENTION ECHOES,
MGhter Side Of the Republican
National AssembIage.
lack OF HRSUTE ADoRNMENT

elOtabie Absence Of Whiskers Among
Delegates Who Went 20 Chicago.

Elephant Took the Cake.
S.The national Republican conven-
Eon of 1905" said Perry Heath, for
dIerly assistant postmaster general,
AwilI be known undoubtedly as the
Ehiskerless convention"
MIR. Heath was right Looking over
Ehe convention while assembled In the
Chicago Coliseum, one was surprised
% find 80 few men with hirsute adorn-
gent. In the whole national commit
pc there We're only FIVE, and they af-
GActed, with one exception, not the full
nbard, but a sort Of goatee growth
that they smo0thed with lingering
Hondness. In the convention itself
there were not more than thirty OF
DE delegates who had brought their
Ahlskers with them.
''Thst man back there" remarked
Thomas F. Ship, who is connected
with the forestry service In Washing
ton and who halls from Indiana, ''re-
minds me of the story of the man on
the train who announced his ability
to tell by the appearance alone the
state whence every male passenger
game. He walked up to a man who
was well dressed and said to him,
SYou are from New York Right
was the reply. A tall, lanky passen-
ger was in the next seat. You are
from Vermont We'll, l swami was
the astonished answer. The seer pro-
ceeded from passenger to passenger,
correctly designating the state Of his
residence, and finally came to fell
low who was bumped up on O seat,
4tth ginger whiskers, a SLOUGH hat
and wearing rawhide boots covered
with mud. Let me see,' he said you
are hard to guess, but think you
come from Indiana Wrong there,
partner was the response. Probably
I fooled you because have just pass
I'd through a heavy spell of yellow
fauudice'"

PERFECT. CONFIDENCE.
Hopkinsville People Have q
Good Reason For Com
plete Reliance.

Do you know
To findquick relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys;
Just one way-your neighbors
know
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. w. C Davis, 500 West Sew
enth Street, Hopkinsville, KY, says:
"Mr. Davis has never had any an oc.
casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills or
any other kidney medicine since he
recommended them in the summer
Of 1903. For years prior to that
time he had been an almost constant
sufferer from kidney trouble. He
had intense pains in his back which
extended to his shoulders and annoy
ed him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night.
The relief he obtained from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills, which he got
at L. A. johnson & Co.'S. drug store
was surprising. They acted differ
emily from any remedy he ever tried
and he has never had a recurrence of
the Troublesome using this valuable
remedy four years ago. 1t speaks
pretty strongly for Doan's Kidney
Pills that cured him."

CENTENNIAL OF WALTZ
Popular Dance introduced
Just 100 Years Ago

A hundred years ago the armies OF
Napoleon found the peasants of
Thuringia dancing a new dance.
The new dance was so gay and au-
dacious, so new in both step and
tempo, so enthusing and heart.melt-
ing that the armies of Napoleon
almost forgot fighting while they
learned it.
1t was danced by couples.
The man took his partner by the
waist, while she chung to his shout
der. The two other arms were held
outstretched, hand clasping hand.
and round and round the couples
whirled, and round and round, to
music with a strange new Tilt now
langourous, now agitated, at once
soothing and exciting, gay and
grave, sentimental and diabolical.
That IS dancing!" said the SOL
diers Of Napoleon, and they took it
with them, taught the conquered
nations as full compensation, and in
1908 they brought the waltz to
Paris.
H Isss I'll: The world world has Waited i iG9
years.
This year is the centennial of
waltzing, ard in Paris they are to
have a grandiose celebration of it at
the Opera.

A refreshment emporium just op-
Doslte the Coliseum had a strip of
canvas above its threshold declaring
that 1t was Wisconsin's headquar-
ters. "Born In Wisconsin" asked a
delegate from the northern state of
the white aproned proprietor, who
busily motored foaming glasses across
the bar.
'Nope," replied the thirst alaying
parsonage. 81 was born In Kentucky"
''rhen why this declaration of al
tegiance to Wisconsin,
"Well, what could fellow do when
Kentucky romped into the white rib
bon brigade?' came the explanatory
query. II once ketched a fish up in
one Of them Wisconsin lakes, and l
know every fisherman likes good bait,
Me for the wet crowd"

A Miscaleulation.

Boost seemed to be the motto
among Chicago cabmen during the con-
vention. Besides driving the trusting
stranger several times around the same
block, with the fell design of making
him believe that he had ridden for
miles, they had not the slightest timid-
lty in saying Three dollars" in the
most matter Of fact way
Colonel Pete Hepburn got in a cab
the other day and drove five blocks.
When he descended he asked the fare.
1.-TWO dollars" was the answer What
for" asked uncle Pete"
"a dollar for the distance and dol
tar for the time" answered the cabby.
"My time isn't worth a penny around
here" answered the Iowa statesman,
and he gave cabby four quarters.

Just a Mistake.

A page had a telegram for Jonah

wall and he went about the lobby Civ
ing vent to this euphonious name for
some minute. The first time it was
called the buzz of conversation per-
ceptibly diminished and in few mo-
ments ceased altogether, while the
page still repeated the chant. One of
the delegates from the west was doz-
ing in his lounge corner, but suddenly
aWoke with a start and said:

MR- sAMFoRp IN PIKE.
Candidate for Congress Speaks At
 Banks and Brundidge.

Banks and Brundidge.
 Troy, Aug. 23.--(special.) )--Hon, W. H. Sanford was at Banks and Brun- didge Saturday where, having g. day off from his campaigning in other coun- ties of the district. he addressed the voters of these two towns of Pike county.
 At Banks he. had a good sized audi ence and received a sympathetic hear ing. After the speaking he was con- graduated and assured that the votes of Banks would be cast for him.
 The address at Brundidge in the afternoon was in the nature of an ovation. There were about 300 pres ent, an extremely large audience for Brundidge, and they frequently inter rupted the speaker with applause and words of approval
 Mir Sanford was In fine fettle and at times the entire audience demon strated their hearty sympathy with him and his policies.
 These two addresses are the first that Mr. Sanford has delivered in Pike county. aside from the joint'meet- ing of candidates at China Grove. and If the sentiment of the voters at Brun- didge and Banks reflects conditions in the other beats, he will receive a most flattering endorsement at the polls from the voters of this, his home county.
