sentative of this news association called
upon him.
Il should like to grant YOU an inter-
view" he said, but I'm too i'll. l
always trusted newspaper men and l
never was betrayed l will trust you
to write an interview for me, but do
not make me talk politics. ! am an
old man-out of politics-nearly out
of the world"
Then the aged senator's eyes closed,
his head dropped and he dozed a
minute. All at once he started ner-
vously and exclaimed:
"Eh? What! Yes, I'm tired, very
tired
In Washington, as in his home state,
he will always be remembered as the
Little Giant" a term given him by
loving friends who admired his proves
To the old-time southern element
in Missouri, to which Vest always
looked for support, he is as dear as
ever. The ties that bound them to-
gether when the suffered for the ''lost
cause" have never been broken. Dur
the past 20 Years he has been so
much away from his state that he was
out of touch with the element now
dominating the state. He belonged to
the old-timers, he cared little for the
Others and he viewed with complacency
the angry battles fought by unworthy
men anxious to succeed him.

busy fighting partisan foes he can't
whisper in the ears of men-that about
covers the senator's case. Men who
have worked in politics with Fair
banks know that he can be jovial
But when he faces a crowd, the ice
begins to form.
The democrats are laying deal of
stress on their chairman's hold on the
the heartstrings of the people. They
are inclined to believe that Taggart
may be able to win votes for Parker
and Davis on the strength of his own
personality. 1t has won votes for him
in municipal campaigns.
A great many republicans took ad
vantage of the wealth of Vice Presi-
dental Nominee Davis to make sar-
castle references to Doodle The
entrance of Daniel Reed, the multi
millionaire tinplate magnate, into the
republican race for senator gives the
democrats the opportunity to hint
at ''bar'ls," etc.
Reid is dead set on getting Fair
banks toga. The democrats are cir
culating the report that the republic
can campaign committee will draw
heavily on Reds barrel, in order to
assure republican legislature.
Indiana politicians of the ward
heller class are looking forward to a
golden harvest
1t is around Reds candidacy that
most interest centers now The ru-
NOR is current that Reid has the ell
enlargement of the state committee
and also of some of the rivals for the
senate. 1t has been known for some
time that the republicans were not
positive as to the source of fund
for campaign purposes. Knowing gen.
tlemen say that the republicans expect
Reid to supply the wherewithal on the
grounds that first of all the state
must be carried before anyone can go
to the senate What may happen to
Reid after the election, is left for
chroniclers of political news in days to
come.
> Leaders might suddenly arrive at
the conclusion that it would never do
to send trust magnate to the senate.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 81 think it was
a note of pathos in her voice-an in
defnable touch of sadness in her
graceful movements-that first caused
me to inquire into her story. She
was only a little Geisha girl on the
Pike-only one of the thousands OF
entertainers who have gathered to-
gether from every tribe and nation,
in order that the pleasure-loving peo-
pie of the whole world may find
amusement to suit their varied tastes
in the course of three-mile walk.
These Pike dwellers are all here
for one purpose-to give pleasure.
But many give what they do not get.
For beyond the strains of music of
many lands, back of the glare Of the
lights, past the doors to which the
persuasive "speiler" lures You and be-
hind the masked faces of pleasure,
how many untold tales there are
tales of JOY and tales of sorrow!
But it is not easy to get at the real
life of these play-people on the Pike.
1t was not until ! had made many a
"Piking' tour and had visited Fair
Japan" the Pike home of my little
Geisha girl, several times, that ]
learned her romantic story. Part ct
it / got finally from her own lips, in
broken English, with the soft, quaint
accent peculiar to the Japanese. The
rest ! learned through an interpreter.
Her name is Kona Atsuchi. She Is
Is years of age and was born in Yoke
hama, where, for two years before her
arrival in this country. she was noted
as a favorite in the Aduisha, tea
house which is famed above all others
in this great seaport of Japan. 1t was
there she met, loved and became be-
trothed to Sato Sen, an athletic young
Japanese. famous wrestler ana
fencer. They will be married next

into two parts. One of them is il
kona Atsuchi returns to Japan from
the Worlds fair. The other is if Sato
Sen returns from Manchuria, where
he is now fighting for the mikado.
Things are not done hurriedly in
Japan. Young people do not meet and,
after few hours conversation, decide
they are affinities. To the japanese
marriage is a step approached with
great seriousness, and the parents
have much to do with matchmaking.
So it was with Kona Atsuchi and Sato
Sen. She was a Gesha-one of the
public singers and dancers of Japan
and he also a public entertainer Yet
their alliance was not entered into in
the hurried manner of the theatrical
people in America. The banns were
published according to the Buddhistic
rites and the day of the ceremony was
set. with two years of probation.
Then several things happened. The
war with Russia was declared and Sato
Sen went to the front. About the
same time representatives of Fair
Japan upon the Pike at St. Louis
visited Japan to organize a troupe of
Geisha. Among those selected who
yielded to the persuasion of the
Worlds fair representatives was Kona
Atsuchi. Four weeks ago she came to
st. Louis to add to the gaiety of ma
tons by dancing on the Pike. Kona
Atsuchi takes part in a dance known
as The Spirit of the Spider"
kona continually makes inquiries
about the latest war news from the far
east, and, though there are several
hundred loyal subjects of the mikado
at the Worlds fair, it is doubtful if
the long anticipated news of the fall
of Port Arthur will bring to anyone
more JOY than to Kona Atsuchi. Pro
vided, of course, if one beloved name
does not appear in the list of the dead
or wounded. but does in that list OF
honorable mention"

The passing of former United States
Senator Geo. Graham Vest, diminishes
by one the small coterie of famous
courteous. old-time statesmen. all
giants of intellect.
The term ''old-time southern gentle
man" is SO abused. these days, that one
hesitates to use it. Still, if it ever
fitted any man, it fitted the Little
Giant
Vest was born at Frankfort, Ky,
Dec. 6. 1890, and graduated from Cen
ter college, Kentucky, in lS4s. He COM
pleted his law course at the Tran
sylvania university in 1883 and moved
to Missouri the same year. He was in
the Missouri senate when the war
broke out. He went with the south
and became a confederate senator.
He was elected to the United States
senate in 1879, and served until Dec
ing health, he retired to his daughters
home at st. Louis. He made the same
gallant fight for life that always mark
ed his battles in public, but the odds
were against him.
Vest was small in stature, slow and
deliberate in movement. and never lost
his temper. In the senate, he was
regarded with veneration and when
ever he arose to speak every member
hurried to his place to listen. He had
as many republican friends as demo-
Gratis, for all recognized that Vest
was of the type of statesman who
would rather die than do the slightest
dishonorable act.
Vest was old fashioned in his ideas
and dress. He lived simply and died
. poor man.
During the last year he had been
sinking rapidly. All day long he sat
in his great leathern chair, his pallid
face on his breast, his ashen hands
folded in his lap. Once in while his
great mind-once titanic in its power
