Beefsteak Wins HOnOrs
 as Choice College Dish

Bethlehem, Pa.-To make college students happy, feed them beefsteak three times 8 day." says George B. Matthews, known to Lehigh University students as 'sKlng" Matthews.
 MT. Matthews, who is rounding out 17 years as director of the Lehigh uni yers,tv commons dining hall, says col lege men want hearty food and plenty of it.
 "They're all used to mas cooking, !" he says, "and they want the things she gave them when they get to college. I guess mothers must specialize on beef- steak. Students like beefsteak, aspar- agus, strawberries, anything that is pensive. The more it costs the better they like it."

Ole Olson had been working as an engine wiper, and his boss, g thrifty man. had been coaching him for promo tion to fireman with such advice as:
 ..Now, Ole, don't waste drop of oil-that costs money. And don't waste the waste, either-thats. getting sex- pensive, too.''
 When Ole went up to be questioned on his eligibility for a fireman he was asked:
 Suppose you are on your engine on single track. You go round a curve and see rushing towards you an 4ex- press. What would you do?''
 To which Ole replied:
 Il grab the oil can; I grab the waste-and I yump." - Everybody s Magazine.

Vests s Tribute to Dog
 Is an Oratorical Gem

Probably no greater tribute was ever paid to a dog than that by the late United States Senator George Ora ham Vest. If Missouri. While many are fa- miliar with the tribute, few know any thing of the circumstances which called it forth. The tribute was paid in the course of speech before jury long before Vest thought of becoming sen- atOr.
 The dog in the case was fox-hound named Drum, owned by Charles Bur- den, who lived in Johnson county, Mis- souri, No fox hunt in Missouri was complete without Drum. But Drum had his enemies as well as his admir- CTS. He was shot by a man named Leonidas Hornsby, with whom Burden was Ion the outs." Burden sued for damages. Originating in a justice of the peace court, the suit was carried to the state supreme court.
 It was in the last trial of the case in September, 1870, that Vest made his speech Thomas T. Crittenden, who afterwards became governor, and Fran cis Marion Cockrell. who later became a United States senator, opened for the defendant, making eloquent speeches. Vest. then little known, had taken small part in the trial, and the pros poets for verdict for Drum looked blue when Vest arose. When he fn- ished there were tears in the eyes of the jurors, and even of the judge him. self Drum won hands down. Vest made virtually no reference to the evi dence in the Case. but confined himself to a tribute to the dog. He seemed to recall from history all the instances where dogs had displayed intelligence ands6deliby to man. h conclusion he used these words:
 ssGentlemen of the jury: The best friend man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son and daug hter, that he has reared with loving care. may be- come ungrateful. Those who are near est and dearest to us. those with whom we trust our happiness and our good name. may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may Jose. It flies away from him when he may need it most. Mans reputa- tion may be sacrificed in moment of ill-cousidered action. The people who are prone to fall upon their knees and do us honor when success is. with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when. failure settles it's cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfsh friend man may have in this
The Kusko times., 1923-11-17

selfish world, the one that never de- serts him. the one that never proves unfaithful or treacherous, is the dog.
 "Gentlemen of the Jury: A mans dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep upon the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives 6ercely. if only he may be near his masters side. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encoun- ter with the roug hness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper mas ter as if he were prince.
 "W hen all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, be is as con- stant in his love as the sun in it's jour- ney through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks DO higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in it's embrace. and his body is laid away in the cold ground, DO matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will ahe noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to deaa :"
 Novelist Sinclair Lewis said at din- ner party:
 'The denizen of the prairies loves his endless plains. A man from Jerol- omon, settlement in the very heart of the prairie lands of Missouri, went to Switzerland last summer, and on his return to Jerolomon his pastor asked him:
 "'WelI, Peleg, what did you think of Switzerland?'
 ITO tell you the truth, Doc,' the traveller answered. I didn't think nothin' of it. Ye couldn't see thing fer the dunn mountings ;"
 The late Alexander Graham Bell had no fondness for Wall street.
 Wall street," he once said at din- ner, 'reminds me of the milk trade.
 "A poor man entered milk dealers shop and said:
 "'How much is your milk?'
 Fifteen cents quart, said the sales girl.
 "'Haven't you got any at l2 cents a quartz asked the man.
 No, we haven t. said the girl. but we can make you some.'"
