Senator Vests Famous EuIogy on the Dog

Many have been the surmises due
to the purity of the English style,
the rhythm of the sentences, and an
| almost poetic turn to them, and the
profound sympathy which are en-
| bodied in an address of the late
! Senator George Vest. of Missouri.
| Senator Vests so-called eulogy on
the dog has become almost a classic
| 1t Is frequently made use of to illus
| trate a perfect English style ade-
quate and approprite to the subject.
The surmises which this eulogy has
occasioned have been due to the
doubt whether or not Senator Vest
spoke without preparation or wheth.
er he delivered this brief eulogy from
memory after having prepared 1t
with great care.
The senator's colleagues in the
United States Senate have never
doubted Senator Vests ability to
produce by spontaneous utterance of
equally spontaneous thought eulogy
of this kind.
| am able now to give an authorized
account of the occasion when Senator
Vest delivered this eulogy. One of
those who have been in doubt
whether the address was impromptu
or prepared wrote to c. C. Toomb
llOW Ill lie WAL CT w ASH
ington, to ask him if he had any
knowledge respecting the matter Mr.
Toombs was Senator Vests secretary
during the latter's service in the
United States Senate. The letter of
inquiry reached him at a time when
Judge Phillips, of Sedalia, Mo-, had
been visiting Colonel Toombs, who
was then in the service of the House
of Representatives. Knowing that
Judge Phillips was familiar with the
circumstances, the requested in
formation was placed in his hands.
John f. Toombs was for years United
States judge of the Western district
of Missouri, and before his appoint
ment to the bench he was law part
ner of Senator Vest He gladly
wrote a brief statement of the facts.

| Early in the '70s a son of Kentucky
who was then living in johnson
county, Mo-, was the owner of a valu.
| able hound named Old Drum. The
hound was notable hunter, and his
owner had almost human affection
| for him.
Judge Phillips said: lone morning
Old Drum was found dead near a
neighbours house. Some one had shot
him. Circumstances pointed to the
| neighbor as the assassin of the dog.
, Thereupon he was sued for the re-
covery of $3.50 damages. The case was
tried several times, juries disagree
ing, until at last the defendant OBJ
tanned verdict. The case was ap-
pealed, and the plaintiff retained Col
onel Welles H. Blodgett, who was for
many years the general solicitor of
the Wabash Railroad Company.
"On the day of the trial Mr.. Vest
happened to be in the COURTROOM
and the plaintiff thereupon asked him
to assist in the case. Probably Mr.
Vests consent would not have been
obtained had he not been a stanch
friend of good dogs.
Mr. Vest sat throughout the trial
as though a mere auditor, and he took
no part in the examination Of the wit
nesses. The courtroom was filed,
for the dog case had attracted wide
attention. One of the counsel for the
defendant spoke contemptuously of a
lawsuit about mere hound dog Mr.
vest paid little or no attention to the
evidence, but when it came his time
to speak he leveled the whole artillery
of his genius to vindication of the
dogs valuable traits. The jury was
completely mastered by the argu-
ment, brief as it was, and returned a
verdict of $500 for the plaintiff. That
BRIEF eulogy not only won the then
celebrated case, but has passed into
tradition among the choice American
classics

In these circumstances for the gov
eminent to contemplate salary reduc-
tons, even by so small a degree as
2 per cent. in the lower scale, lis to
add inconsiderately to the burden of
anxiety the department workers are
now carrying. There are plenty of
means whereby large economies can
be effected without taking money
away from the men and women who
are now pressed to the limit to make
their incomes meet their require
ments. It is to be hoped that the
bill now pending in the Senate will
not receive serious consideration.
Our Neutral Trade Rights.
From the Baltimore News.
The question as to what constitutes
conditional contraband and when it
may be captured without prejudice
to a neutral nations dignity is re-
plete with technicalities and COM
plexities. The American people can
safely leave their interest in it to
the legal advisers of the state depart
ment and rejoice that England seems
inclined not to create undue difficult
ties for us.
There is but one course open to
the United States. We are a neutral
nation. AS such we have the right
to expect respect for our commerce
with any and all other neutral ma
tons; nor are we obligated to search
into the intentions of our customers
regarding the subsequent disposal of
their purchases. We sell foodstuffs
to England. 1t would not be proper
for Us to agree to continue doing so
but also to refuse to supply Germany;
it would be much less so, and not
at all in keeping without national
self-respect, to agree to forego trade
with another neutral, or submit to
interference with it, in unsubstan-
tiated fear that Germany may be its
ultimate destination.
We cannot well make any agree
ment with any belligerent government

Lunatics' Dinner MARRIED by Assaults
With Plates by Diners.
CHICAGO. oct. 5.-The State of
Illinois gave 22O maniacs AMI a choice
selection of visitors a dinner yester-
day at the Asylum for the Insane in
Kankakee. The feast was intended
to show the good effects of the
gradual elimination of restraint.
Without chains, straps or guards,
without blows, cuffs or threats, the
220 hopeless" occupants of cottages
and - found themselves at liberty
on the lawn in a distant part of the
hospital grounds. The sane guests
will not soon forget that dinner.
As soon as the dinners first course
was put on the tables a docile mad
man arose and smashed a plate of
soup on his neighbours head. 1t re-
quired five keepers ten minutes to
SUPPRESS the riot that followed.
With the second course a diner
picked up a heavy glass mug and
brought it down on the head of the
patient next to him. The victim of
the assault was taken to the hos
pital.
The normal guests by that time had
lost their appetiies.

The Moral Influence of War.

The Moral Influence of War.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A battle of twenty days and nights
between 1000, 900 menl If anybody
had told us in July that such a thing
would happen in September we would
have thought him a fit subject for
medical observation. Now the spec
tacle of daily mammoth butchery has
become as familiar as our breakfast
table. We knew all these millions of
men could be called into the field, but
we had complacently accepted the
theory that they never would be be-
cause of the destructive consequences
of such war. Humanity would
never stand for it. craftsmanship
would never permit it, business would
never tolerate it. Yet no considera-
ton of religion, of civilization, of self
interest, of worldly wisdom, awaited
to stop 1t. And now in two months
we have grown so accustomed to such
scene as has never been witnessed
in the world before that our first feel
ing of horror is wearing off and we
are becoming a little callous. The
savagery of war is deadening our
moral senses and the daily stories of
slaughter do not affect us as much
as single disaster in peace formerly
Ibid. Let us hope that this abnormal
and insensate coisdition may soon
pass away and that this period of
world madness may be succeeded by
clearer, saner vision than ever pre-
vailed before.

Che Death TIE Soldier Dies

Such is the death the soldier dies;
He falls the column speeds away;
Upon the dabbled grass he lies,
His brave heart following still, the fray.
The smoke wreaths drift among the trees,
The battle storms along the hill;
The CLINT of distant arms he sees,
He hears his comrades shouting still
A glimpse of far-borne flags, that fade
And vanish in the rolling din;
He knows the sweeping charge is made,
The cheering lines are closing in.
Unmindful of his mortal wound
He family calls and seeks to rise;
But weakness drags him to the ground.
Such is the death the soldier dies
