s SENATOR VESTS TRIBUTE TO A DOG. 5

%<%%%<$<<<<%<< <%<<<<$~$$SSS~s
One of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to a dog was delivered by
the late Senator Vest of Missouri
some years ago. He was attending
court in a country town, and while
waiting for the trial of a case in
which he was interested, was urged
by the attorneys in a dog case to
help them out. Voluminous evidence
was introduced to show that the de-
fendant had shot the dog in malice,
while other evidence went to show
that the dog had attacked the defend
ant. Vest took no part in the trial
and was not disposed to speak. The
attorneys, however, urged him to
speak. Being thus urged, ne arose.
scanned the face of each juryman
for a moment and said:
Gentlemen of the Jdry:-The
best friendamanhas may turn against
him and become his enemy. His son
or daughter that he has rearedswlth
loving care may prove ungrate1ui.
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 a man has he may lose.
1t flies away from him. perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputa-
ton 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 malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads.
",rhe one absolutely unselfsh
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never de-
serts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherous,is his dog.
A mans dog stands by him.in pros
perity and poverty, and in health and
in sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, 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
and sores that come in the encounter
with the roughness of the world. he
guards the sleep of his pauper mas
ter as if he were a prince. When all
other friends depart, he remains.
When riches take wings and reputa-
ton falls to pieces he is as constant
in his love as the SUD in its Journeys
through the heavens.
IF fortune drives the master
forth an outeast in the world, friend
less and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that
of accompanying him, to guard
against danger, to fight against his
enemies. And when the last scene
of all comes, and death takes his
master in its embrace and the body
is laid away in the cold ground, no
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the.ssgrave side
will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad'
but open IN alert watchfulness, faith
full and true even in death
Then Vest sat down. He. had
spoken in a low voice, without a
gesture. He made no reference to
the evidence or the merits of the
case. When he finished Judge and
Jury were wiping their eyes. The
Jury filed out, but soonlenteredl~ith
q verdict of $500 for the plaintiff,
whose dog was shot, and it was said
that some of the jurors wanted to
hang the defendant.

SHERMAN's ONLY TRUE.
He VIII Not Run Again for Vice resi-
dent.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Yice President
James S. Sherman does not expect and
does not want TO be a candidate for re-
election with President Taft. This fact
is quietly becoming known among Mr..
Sherman's intimates in Washington and
is the most interesting gossip Of the
inner circles. Mr. Sherman's decision.
which practically it is, is not due to any
personal unfriendliness to President
Taft, but is attributable TO his unwill.
ingness to run on low tariff platform,
and il is taken for granted that the
president will insist on one. Mr. Sher-
man always has been high priest OF
standpatters and since his election to
the presidency has no more dis
guised his dislike for the low tariff move
ment in his party than has Joseph G.
Cannon. 1t is felt that the differences
between the president and the vice-pres-
ident on the tariff are irreconcilable, and
that Mr. Sherman's Washington career
will terminate March A. 1913
Mr.. Sherman's friends plan, however,
to bring him forward as candidate
for governor of New York. It is be-
lieyed that the contest there, with Mr.
Sherman as the Republican candidate,
would be fought on state, rather than
on national issues, and that the support
of the men Of the type represented by
Mr.. Sherman is absolutely necessary to
the success of the Republican ticket in
the Empire state. Both tickets would
be strengthened, it is declared, by the
candidacy of Mr. Sherman and the pres
tige of the Republican party upheld.
While this arrangement might not in
volve positive trade with the national
administration, it is clear that unless
the friends of Mr.. Sherman, especially
in central New York, were satisfied that
the vice-president would be fairly treat
ed by the administration men, they
would not take off their coats for the
reelection of Taft.

WILSON RECOMMENDS
MORE PUBLICITY
Regarding the Amount Of Food Held in
Cold Storage, Long Storage is the
Exception, However, Says
Secretary Of Agriculture.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE con-
sumner pays dollar for food; the farm
er gets less than fifty cents of it. Who
gets the rest2"
That is a question which Secretary
Wilson Of the department of agriculture
asked in his annual report. The secre-
tary does not attempt to answer it.,
He does explain in some detail the re-
suits of an investigation his depart
ment has just concluded into the effect
of cold storage on the wholesomeness
and cost of food His investigation
leads him to recommend publicity for
the amount Of food in cold storage, Just
as the department now gives publicity
to the condition of crops from month to
month.
Instead of food remaining in storage
for longer than year or two years, as
a rule, the secretary declares that his
investigation showed that receipts into
cold storage are entirely or very nearly
exhausted by deliveries out of cold stor-
age within ten months"
Long storage is the exception, the sec
rotary asserts. Warehousemen explained
to the department that excessively long
storage was due to lawsuits and other
circumstances of an monumental ma
ture. The cost Of storage, including stor-
age charge, interest and insurance, is
considered as a barrier to very long
storage.
Cold storage, the secretary reports,
has raised the cost of living by increas-
ing the annual price level for butter and
eggs.

consumption OF eggs by the public at
exorbitant prices last winter with the
result that in the spring the storage
men had to sell eggs at remarkably
low prices and send abroad the largest

to get rid OF the supply The secre-
tary declares that the waTehousemen
ought TO be required to send to Washing
ton each month the amount of com
modities placed in storage so that the
public may be able to judge Of the flu
ture trend Of prices.
A great variety Of subjects are dealt
with by the secretary in his report. He
says that the day is not far distant
when the United States will cease to
import potash. Florida, Kentucky, Ten

positories.
Recommendation is made that all gov
eminent agencies that conserve health

ST A DAY
PENSION AGAIN
House Democrats to Rush the
Measure
MOVE MEANT TO EMBARRASS
A Veto Would Arouse the Wrath Of the
Soldiers-Bill Defeated Last
Year by Courage of
Senator'S.
MOVE MEANT TO EMBARRASS

Washington, Dec THE Democratic
headers Of the House, within week if
they can, will rush through the Sher-
wood "dollar-a-day" pension bill and
send it over to the Senate.
This bill passed the House last year
and was defeated in the Senate largely
through the unpopular, but courageous,
opposition to IL, Even with the deaths
OF Civil war veterans occurring daily,
the bill still would take about $751;.
100000 from the treasury the first
year and would run up the pension roll Of
the government to the unprecedented
total of about l93,000,O00, sum far
exceeding the annual cost Of either the
army or the navy. The bill would pay
$50 a month to all soldiers serving one
year or more during the Civil war and
graduated pensions ranging down TO SIS
a month to men serving for three
months.
This is the first Of the great political
coups to be attempted by the Democrats
in their efforts TO embarrass the Repub-
leans and the Taft administration. This
bill has been before Congress for a long
time and has failed because Congress
has needed the plea of the fiscal officers
of IL government that the treasury
was . no condition TO stand such an
enormous drain. But all such considera-
h.. 6
dental campaign, and the sponsors Of
the bill count not only upon its reuc-
tant but certain passage by the SEN
ate but its signature by the president.
1t was understood the last session
that President TAFT would veto the
bill il it got by the Senate, but the
friends Of the measure are not now
accrediting him with the courage TO
write veto when they at least, be-
lieye that this one act itself would
be enough to defeat Mr.. Taft or any
other man for the presidency. The
Sherwood bill went through the House
easily on its final passage, some of its
opponents cheerfully voting for it in
the knowledge that it could not get
through the Senate, or, if it did, that
IL would be vetoed.
The Democrats calculate that cond-
tions have changed this year and the
Republicans, always the friend Of the
old soldier, will not dare ego back on
him" at such critical political period.
In the course Of his remarks which re.
suited in the withdrawal of the bill by
Senator Scott on the last day Of the
session OF the sixty.frst Congress, SEN
ator Lodge presented an official est-
mate that the Sherwood bill, if enacted
then, would cost the government S25,-
100000 in the first year of its opera
ton and $50,000,000 in the second.

While they greet his utterance with

not altogether dissipate the nightmare
