AN INCIDENT.
How Geo. Vest Secured the Sens
torship.
Gallant and Courteous, at all Times
and Under all Circumstances.

/, il now in order to relate the following
incident, illustrative OF the manner in
which Col. Geo G. Vest secures . firm
hold upon the esteem and good will Of all
whom he comes in contact. II il a secret
which is known 10 many, though prac,icr,i
By but few-bec.u-e it's practice involves
real natural sympathy and courtesy, which
cannot readily be assumed, but which are
Unborn in the gallant Senstor-elect, and sii
upon him easily and Rrac fully. The
incident referred to 10 az follows:
One cold, raw day last fall, an elderly
plainly deceased lady, who was u passenger
on the train from Sweet Springs to Sedalis,
found the car window at her .eat open, and
the air, in consequence, dissgreeably cool.
She endeavored to clcse the window. but i,
resisted all her efforts. A gentleman sitting
Q short distance behind her volunteered
his assistance, but the window remained
immovable. He then courteously offered
to exchange seats with her; she gratefully
accepted the offer, and he. putting his
shawl over the opening, occupied the seaI
until the train reached Selalia, when he
assisted the old lady from the cars, escorted
her to her hotel, and babe her . cordial
good bye"
1t CHANGED that the gentleman had
dropped upon the seat which he vacated
on making the exchange an envelope ad
dressed to "Col. Geo. G. Vest" which the
old lady picked mp and scanned with
very laudable curiosity before returning il
to him.
1t CHANGED, al.o, that the lady was the
wife Of one the most prominent, wealthy
and influential Ci liens Of one of the lower
counties. When his wife related the cir.
cumstances he remarked:
George Vest, Ell! Well, he wants to bs
Senator, and-he shall be-"
And the old gentleman vent to work fol-
Vest as if he had personal interest in hi
success. He wrote letters, personally in
terviewed members of the Legislature. and
in every practicable way exerted all hi
great influence to secure the election to the
United States Senate of the chivalrou.
Little Giant Of Missouri. who had shows
kindness and courtesy to his long and vel
beloved wife when travelling alone ant
among strangers.
That incident contributed in Q larg,
degree toward making Vest Senator. though
doubtless many others of a like character
assisted TO build up the immense popu
larity which was developed 40 rapidly
M to astonish even his most sanguin,
friends.
Such a man cannot fail 10 reflect credi
upon the State which he hxs been chose,
to represent in the national councils.

But few people realize TO what extent
fashionable poisoning is carried At tn.
present day in the u.e Of various stimu-
lants for which the wretched suicides have
acquired fondness. Liquor in na various
lorna was for a long time the great bzne
Of society. But that il fast being supple
men'ed by poisons If not SO stimulating and
exciting, far more deadly IN their effects
Opium eating and Iaud.num drinking il
greatly increasing. and more than
half of the deaths that are attribut.
ed to heart disease are composed
by these habits. Morphine is but
another form Of the drug. and this is al-o
being used to excesa by thousands of people
in this country. ChIoral is fast growing
into favor and Ia Turing its victims down
to death BY the hundreds and thousands.
II is time this matter was taken hold Of in
earnest by some OF the Jealous reformers OF
the day, for there is hardly a day passea
but counts its victims TO one or the other
