Famous Speech Kade by the Late Sen ator Vest, of M1issourl, in a Dam age Suit Case. The speech of Senator Vest eulogiz ing the dog was made when serving s attorney in the prosecution of a man who had wantonly shot a dog of a neighbor. The eulogy iollows. "Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his 1enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may be ome ungrateful. Those who are near est and dearest to us, those whom we 'trust wilVi our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their trust. The money that a man has e may lose. It fles away from him when he may need it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed In a mo ment of ill-considered action. The people who a1re prone to fall on their knees and do Eus honor wt '.success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure set tles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend a man may hav'e in this selfish world, the e that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or re?cherous is the dog. "Gentleman of the jury, a man's dog Ktands by him in prosperity and in poverty. in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and snow drives fiercely if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand :hthsno food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he re 1mains. When riches take wings and Ireputation falls to pieces he is as con stant in his love as the sun in its jourey through the heavens. If for tune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privi lege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies and, when the - 46 _ ....... ....... GG" OPERA HOUSE, THURSDAY, IBEIR 21. takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his grave side will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faith ful and true even to death." The plaintiff had sued for $200 dam ages. When Senator Vest finished speaking, the jury. after deliberating for two minutes, awarded $500. HE QUIT THE BUSINESS. Giving No Free Advertising to Those Able to Pay. Wellington (Kas.) News. Some time since we quit giving ad vertising to those who are able to pay. We have opportunities eVery day to give away space, but -all of these fine chances are now declined with thanks. Several fair associations have furnish-i ed us with entertaining stories about! their amusement enterprises, asking that we kindly give theni several dol' lars' worth of space that others pay for. Also there would be inclosed two complimentary tickets. Now we have tried complimentary tickets fried, stewed, on toast and! smothered in onions, b.ut found them unpalatable in every style. Cholpped fine they might make good 'breakfast food, but we have no chopper. And at the end of the week we are unable to Linload them on the pay-roll, the obstreperous emnployes seeming to prefer cashi. And so much of the time in dags agone the help got all the money, leaving the boss to subsist on complimentary tickets and comn mendary resolutions. It's a poor diet, and we quit it some time since. A baseball teaan will pay rent for grounds to play on-hand out money at the drug store for a .ball-giv-e the hardware store the price of a bat fork over to the clothier the cash for a suit-lay down the coin for a pair of shoes-and then ask the newspa per to donate sufficient space to get a crowd out to see 'the .gange. IA church society will give a chicken Pie supper, dishing up a.bunch of an tiquated hens encased in indes'truetiblej crusts, and the newspapers give suf ficient free advertising to bring out a crowd of customers. Maybe they say 'thank you,' and maybe they lay down a couple of tickets.

"'Your fiance buried? Why, I didn't know you had a fiance, let alone that ne was dead.' "'He ain't dead, ma 'am.' "'Not dead?
