SENATOR VESTS TRIBUTE TO A
DOG.

Senator Vest once dropped into court
10 little Missouri town where man
vas suing neighbor for shooting his
dog. The lawyer for the prosecution
persuaded S,ustor Vest to speak on be-
half Of his client, and this is what he
said:
"Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend a mau has 10 the world may turn
against him and become his enemy. his
son or daughter tbst he has reared with
loving csre may prove uDgrateful. Those
who are nesrest and dearest to US, those
whom we trus, with orr Happiness and
our good rane, may become traitors to
their faith. The morey that msn has
he mag lose. 1t flies away from him,
perhaps when be needs it most. A
mans reputation may be sacrificed in 4
moment of ill-considered action. The
people who srs prone to fall on their
knees to do us honor when success is
with us may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles IT.,
cloud upon our head. The one sbso-
luiely unselfsh friend that man can
have IN this selfish world, the one tina.
never deserts him, tho one that never
proves ungiateful or tIescherous, Is his
dog, A msn's dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, In health aud
sickness. He will sleep on the cold
gtound, where the winry winds blow
and the snow drives fercely, If only he
may be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food TO Offer;
he will lick the wounds aud sores that
come in encounter with the roughnsss OF
the world be guards the sleep of bis
psuper master IS il be were plircs.
When ell other friends desert, he re-
mains. When riches tske wings aud
reputation falls to pieces he is ss con-
slant 10 his love as the sun on it's journey
through the htavens. If fortune drives
the master forth an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than thai Of
accompanying him, TO guard him against
danger, to fight against his enemies.
And when the last scene of ell Gomez,
and death tikes the master in its en-
brace, and bis body is laid In the cold
ground, no matter if all other friends
pursue their way, there by the graveside
will the noble deg be found, his head
between his paws, his heart sad, bot
eyes open in alert Waiehfulness, feithful
and true, even 10 death"
1. is alleged ttat after this some Of the
jurors we're anxious to hang the man
who had killed the dog.

HOUSE..

An amusing oolloquy ss 10 the value
of Kentucky horses eulivened the House
today. Private bills were under cousid-
Grafton and Mr.. Clayton arose TO urge a
bill to pay a Kentuckisn for horses
seized during the war, valued az $3.50
Mr.. Mann arose to object. al note"
be said, "tbat one of the rason why
the claim should be paid is because the
beneficiary is feeble minded and there
fore could not be accused of disloyalty.
Then there wss another affidavit! from
the man in charge OF the feeble minded
mao that the horses we're worth 5000
while the idiot submits an affidavit that
they we're worth $3.50. And the COM
mittee on claims accepts the statement
of the idiot 10 preference to that OF the
sane man."
Mr.. Clayton protested, but Mr.. Mann
vent on dryly, while the House reared.
"Iu the ordinary course of events it
would accept the judgment of a Ken
tuckisn on horses-buI never feeble
minded Kenluckisn."
Me-. Clayton got back at the Illinoi-
san by intimsling that probably even q
feeble.minded Kentdckisn knew more
about horses than he did.
