f SENATOR VEST'S TRIBUTE TB A DOG. i
Vwwwv%wv\ vwvww ww $
One of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to a do? 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 defendant
had shot the dog in malice,
while other evidence went tu snuw
that the dog had attacked the defendant.
Vest took no part in the trial
and was not disposed to speak. The
attorneys, however, urged him to
speak. Being thus urged, he arose,
scanned the face of each juryman
for a moment and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury:?The
best friend a man has may turn against
him and become his enemy. His son
or daughter that he has reared?with
loving care may prove ungrateful.
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.
It flies away from him.perhaps when
he needs it most. A man's reputation
may be sacrificed in a moment
of ill considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do us honor when -success is with
us mav be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
i its c^ud upon our heads.
""he one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never deserts
him. the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherous,is his dog.
A man's dog stands by him'in prosperity
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 master's 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 master
as if he were a prince. When all
other friends depart, he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces he is as constant
in his love as the sun in its journeys
through the heavens.
a s
If fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world,friendless
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 celd ground, no
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the^grave side
will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness,faithful
and true even in death." |
Then Vest sat down. He had j
spoken in a low voice, witnout 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 soonjenteredlfrith
a verdict of $500 for the plaintiff,
whose dog was shot, and it was said
that some of the jurors wanted to
hang the defendant.
A Do Gbosts Haunt Swamps?
No, never. It's foolish to fear a
u fancied evil when there are real and
J deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters destroys
and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. ^'Three bot^

MUSIC AND MISERY.
i
Physical Afflictions That Beset Professional
Performers.
Pianist's cramp is more painful |
than writer's cran;p and is the bane
I of all virtuosos. It is caused by the
constant contraction and expansion
of the muscles controlling the lingers.
It becomes chronic when not
guarded against, and many a promising
virtuoso's career has been
blighted in this way. The only remedy
is to rest the overtaxed muscles
and then to work them up gradually
to meet the strain of constant
playing.
All concert pianists are subject to
plit finger tips. The constant
troke of the ballp of the fingers on
the hard ivory makes the flesh so
delicate and tender that frequently
playing becomes acute agony. Some
pianists suffer more than others
from delicate finger tips. Lhevinne,
the gigantic Russian player, who
can extract as much tone from his
. ._A __ .11 1 *
in8irumeni as any omer living
player, has finger tips that are like
cushions. But they are exquisitely
sensitive and continually breaking
open.
Violinists suffer a great deal of
physical inconvenience. Most of us
have an idea that the violin is held
against the neck and shoulder by
the player's left hand, which grasps
the arm of the instrument. All
great violin teachers insist that the
left hand be entirely free, and to
achieve this th? violin is actually
held by the player's chin. To accomplish
this his head is held in a
distorted position, and this, working
against the elevation of the left
arm and shoulder, causes compression
of the heart and lungs and
curvature of the spine.
Performers on wind instruments
suffer many inconveniences, and in
some instances their work loads to
permanent physical disability. Bulbar
paralysis from continued use of
the tongue and lips is an ever present
danger. Doctors have a fearsome
name for the commonest result
of wind playing. In plaia language,
it is overdistension of the j
lungs. This stretching of the lungs
from constantly heavy inflation
leads to engorgement of the blood
in the right cavities of the heart,
and this produces dilatation of the
heart and hypertrophy.
Mental peculiarities of oboe play

&$t the oboe player is mentally
affected bv the fact that he is
forced to blowjhrou^h an exceedingly^
small aperture and the expiration
is unusually prolonged. Others
insist that the peculiarly melancholy
quality of the tone produced
and the invariable character of the
music written for the oboe are responsible
for any peculiarities displayed
by its executants.?Washing- >

M?nd?lMohn In a Rag*.
Mendelssohn in a rage was a fine
sight, for then his eyes amply
blazed out from under the long
lashes. This was not rare with him.
The orchestra at Dusseldorf was responsible
for much of his irritation.
He gives a humorous description of
their lack of time and tune: ^Every
allegro leaves off twice as fast as it
began, and the oboe plays E natural
in C minor, and they carry their fiddles
under their coats when it rains,
and when it is fine they do not cover
them at all, and if you once beard
me conduct this orchestra not even
four horses could bring you there a
second time."?Dole, "Famous Com

poBere.
By Way of Apology.
A clergyman at Cambridge
preached a 6ermon which one of his
auditors commended. "Yes," said
the gentleman to whom it was mentioned,
"it was a good sermon, but
he stole it." This was repeated to
the preacher, who resented it and
called on the gentleman to retract.
"I will," replied the aggressor. "I
said you had stolen the sermon. I
find I was wrong, for on referring
to the book from which I thought
it was taken I found it there."
Navar Lost a Battla.
The Duke of Alva, one of the
most eminent soldiers of the. sixteenth
century, never throughout
his long and eventful career lost a
battle. The archbishop of Cologne
was struck by his effort to avoid a
conflict, having on one occasion
urged him to engage the Dutch. ' i
"The object of a general," re-1
plied Alva, "is not to fight, but to
conquer. He fights enough who obtains
the victory."
Very Considerate.
"I suppose, Jennie, you wouldn't!
want to go to the concert Wednesday
in your old hat ?"
"You dear thing! I couldn't possibly
think of showing myself in it."
i "That's what I thought, so I"?
"What?"
"Bought only one ticket to th?
concert."?Meggendorfer Blatter.

FROM MA
In th? Haunt* d Chamber.
The London Bystander tell? this
ghost story. A IM'r. MelviUe, who
was spending a week with friends,
was informed that he would have to
sleep in the haunted chamber. He
retired and was awakened by the
door opening and a figure entering
the room. Suddenly lie felt a small,
lightweighted object put on his
legs. He held his breath, thinking
a practical joke Mas being played.
The figure retired an instant, then
returned. Another weight was deposited
or. the coverlet. This operation
was repeated for half an hour,
until he was covered with various
unknown objects of unknown specific
gravity. Terror or something
kept Mr. Melville awake for the
rest of the night, \7hen dawn broke
he found that the butler, walking
in his sleep, had laid the four posted
bed with a dinner service of
twenty-four "couverts."
In a Bad Way.
The physician had taken his patient's
pulse and temperature and
proceeded to ask the usual questions.
"It?er?seems," said he, regarding
the unfortunate with scientific
interest, "that the attacks of fever
an<f the chills appear on alternate
days. Do you think?is it your
opinion?that they have, ao to
apeak, decreased in violence, if I
may use that word ?"
The patient amihfi feebly. "Doc,"
saj? he, "on fever days my head's
ao hot I can't think, and on ague
days I shake so 1 can't hold an
opinion."?Lippinc< >tfs.
