Our wheat which was supposed to
pass the twenty bushels mark for an
average, is turning out much less than
was expected and Of lighter quality.
Where wheat made twenty bushels
or larger average last year and tested
sixty to sixty-four pounds, 1t is now
running ten to twenty bushels and
testing tifty-seven to sixty pounds.
But after all, the big blow advertised
the country a little and perhaps, it
also knocked the price Of wheat q

DOG IS MANS BEST FRIEND.
MADE the Point of Telling Speech
by Senator Vest In a Suit
for DAMAGES.

In Missouri town a man brought
suit for $500, claiming a neigh Dor had
killed his dog, and he engaged Senator
Vest to plead his case, says the Atchi-
son Globe. The senator made the fol-
lowing speech:
GentIemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest
and dearest to us, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name
may become traitors to their faith
The money that man has he may lose
1t lilies away from him, perhaps, when
ne needs it most. A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in a moment of i'll.
considered action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees to do
US honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone of NAL
zee when failure settles it's cloud upon
our heads. The one absolutely un-
selfish friend that mar can have in
this selfish world. the one that never
decelves him, the one that never proves
ungrateful and treacherous, is his dog.
"A mans dog stands by him in pros
perity and in poverty, in health and
in sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry wind blows
and the snow drives fiercely, if only he
may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food
10 offer. He will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as if he
were a prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces
he is as constant in his love as the sun
in its journeys through the heavens.
1t fortune drives the master forth an
outcast in the world, friendless and
homeless. the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom-.
panying, to guard against danger, to
night against his enemies, and when
the last scene of all comes and when
death takes the master in its embrace
and his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter if all other friends
pursue their way, there by the grave
side may be the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes
sad but open in alert watchfulness.
faithful and true even in DEATH"
Then Mr.. Vest sat down. He had
spoken in low voice. without a pes.
ture. He made no reference to the
evidence or the merits of the case.
When he finished the Judge and jury
were wiping their eyes. The jury filed
out. but soon returned with a verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for $500. He
had sued for $500. 1t is even aid that
some OF the jurors wanted to hang the
defendant
