decide whether those citizens of great
wealth who were delegates to the Re-
publican Convention are interested in
Republican politics for their pockets
sake, or whether they are just patriots
like the office-holders and expectant
office-holders that made up the balance
of that interesting gathering. but
shrewd guess can be made that they
were not there for their health. The
candidates nominated, and the plat
form adopted would indicate that the
milliOnaires were the guiding stars and
their interests were carefully provided
for.

Republican Brotherly Love.

Every meeting of the Kentucky dele
cation at the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago was a vertitable
love feast. Senator Bradley and Mar
shall Bullitt passed each other without
speaking. Governor Wilson and Dick
Ernst greeted each other with cold,
stiff mods. When the time came to
select a member of the National Re-
publican Committee from Kentucky,
Dick Ernst, of Coyington, and Frank
Fisher, of Paducah, were placed n
nomination. Ernst voted for himself
and made the result tie. The next
morning Ernst withdrew his name and
threw his strength to Judge Burnam,
of Richmond, whose brother-in-law
was present and voting for Fisher.
Judge Burnam, by voting for himself
and getting his brOther-in-law' vote,
then won. Of course this was the very
essence of bitterness to Senator Brad
ley who claims that Judge Burnam
only got to Chicago by the basest sort
of betrayal of Bradley in the Louis
vile convention.

That's Just like him for all the world"
As ! have said, Mrs Hereford was

One day just after having done the

bowed head was mutely offering
prayer for the repose of her husbands
soul when she was aroused by a crash.
II seemed she had heard some wood
en- structure knocked into kindling
wood. Starting up, there In lot not
a hundred yards from her she saw
promiscuous mass of slender timbers
jumbled with some light woven tex.

gled to free himself and after doing so
stood upon his feet. The widow went
toward the fragments, and when the
mans head appeared above the wreck
age she caught Mt an iron rail inclos.

She saw him whose ashes she had
been weeping over.
"Well," he exclaimed petulantly, sur

Mrs, Hereford. who saw medium
for wasted money, breathed hard.
ELISHA" she said sternly, what
foollshness have you been guilty of

Il own up, my dear, 1t was this
way: I heard of all these fellows try

money to build 1t, so concluded to
take the job into my own hands, first
eliminating you from the experiment.

Elisha Hereford at twenty married
. girl of eighteen. Elisha was rather
q bright fellow, but without good judg-
ment. His wife was exactly the oppo-
site. She was not bright, but possess.
ed an enormous amount of horse
sense" For twenty years she kept her
husband on the track and when he
showed signs of "breakjng' would
speak to him In no uncertain tone,
pull strong on the curb and now and
then give him a sharp cut with the
whip. The consequence was that Here
ford, being smart, by the time he was
forty had secured a competency.
Now, the thing without which sue
cess is not to be attained is often I'M
recognizable. especially by the aehiev-
er. Hereford attributed it in his case
to his talents, arguing that il he were
not pulled back by his wife he would
be millionaire. His most intimate
friends knew that his wife had put
those talents to their proper use and
prevented his wasting them. Perhaps
If any Of them had told him this it
might have neutralized this story. Per-
haps he would have received the in
formation as false. The latter suppo-
sition liz the more probable.
One day Hereford disappeared. 1t
was found that he had taken $4,000
and left 100000 for his wife, with no
explanation whatever. This Is the
most practical thing he had ever done
without her assistance. Almost any
one would pronounce the money pref
cradle to the explanation. But the act
was just like Hereford. He was a
mixture of the sublime and the ridicu-
lous.
He hadn't been gone long before his
wife received letter from an Ameri-
can gentleman In Constantinople
named Tarbox stating that Hereford
had died there He had left instruc-
tons with Tarbox TO send what money
he had left-some S10,o00--and his in
cinerated remains to his wife. Her
friends said that so long as he had sent
the money he needn't have troubled
himself about the ashes. Mrs. Here
ford deposited the former In bank and
wept over the latter When it came
to sentiment she had her weaknesses,
the most pronounced of which was a
sincere affection for Elisha Hereford.
She was too sensible to keep her hus-
bands dust In her own house, so she
spent 500 on marble tomb, placed
1t In a cemetery and locked the dust
In it. Not that the $500 represented
her love for her dead husband The
tomb was plenty large to contain the
ashes, and Mrs. Hereford's sentiment
never ran away with her instinct of
economy.
Before proceeding any further with
this story wish to say that there is
feature in it that won't be believed.
You can invent lot of imaginary nom
sense and it will be gulped down, but
give people a real coincidence such as
happens every day and they win laugh
at you. / am sure, however. that any

Does Alcohol Reduce Mans Working
Efficiency Ten Per Cent?

Efficiency Ten Per Cent?
In the October McClure's DIR. Henry
Smith Williams tells OF the expert
ments by Prof Aschoffenburg with four
typesetters in an effort to determine the
effect Of alcohol on mans working eff.
cheney. In summing up the professor
says:
"The experiment extended over four
days. The first and third days were
observed as normal days, no alcohol be.
ing given. On the second and fourth
days each worker received thirty five
grams "a little more than one ounce) of
alcohol, in the form of Greek wine. A
comparison Of the results Of work on
normal and on alcoholic days showed
in the case Of one Of the workers, no
difference. But the remaining three
showed greater or less retardation OF
work, amounting in the most pronounc-
ed case of almost fourteen per cent. As
typesetting is paid by the measure,
such worker would actually earn ten
per cent less on days when he con.
sumed even this small quantity of al
cohol"
Dr. Williams says: ''In tho light of
such observations, a glass of beer or
even the cheapest bottle of wine is seen
to be an expensive luxury. To forfeit
ten per cent. of ones working efficiency
is no triling matter in these days Of
strenuous competition. Perhaps it
should be noted that the subjects of
the experiment were all men habituated
to the use of liquor. one of them being
accustomed to take four glasses of beer
each week day, and eight or ten on
Sundays. This heaviest drinker was
the one whose work was most influence
cd in the experiment Just related. The
one whose work was least influenced
was the only one Of the four who did
not habitually drink beer every day;
and he drank regularly on Sundays"
