Senator Vest has told many stories,
but one experience of his hat not
reached the general reader. It oc
curred many years ago, but the sen
ator, telling it uot long ngo, was
still chuckling.
lilt his younger days Senator' Vest
was an ardent hunter and uu author
ity on the wild life of the prairies. He
as living on the advance line of civili
zation and his hume was known far
and wide for its cordial und u lunula nt
hospitulity. There Mr. Vest one day
received a visit from a rich and f;imous
hunter from Loudon who brought a
letter of introduction from a friend
living in the Knglish capital. And the
KnglUhman had brought with him his
own hunting dogs. Senator Ve&t had
dogs of his own and lie could not re
press bis surprise, but the L'nglishmuu
asked him to wait and see. They drove
for many miles and finally the wagon
was left in care of the men, and -Mr.
Vest and the Knglishman started out
onthequest. They did well. The dogs
of the Knglislnnnn were nut worth
much, but the Missouri breed gave ex
cellent sporU
"Just wait and p'ne my dogs a
chance," declared the Knglishman.
"All they need is a stronger scent."
"They got it," said the senator, tell
ing the story to n New York Sun man.
"Yes, they got it. Some distance
away was a little hill and in the siile
of the little-hill were little holes. Sud
denly the Knglish tun n's ting got the
stronger scent and started for t lie lit
tle hill with the little holes.
. " 'Call hem back,' 1 shouted to the
Knglish iha n.
"'Oh, no,' he replied. 'Now lhey'e
got it. Now they've got it.'"
" 'They will get it if they don't keep
nwny from there,' 1 answered. I'.ut
with all I could do I could not call him
! back. He would not listen and he got
so excited that he started on a run af

Dr. J. L. M. Curry, special ambas

ecdote, says Harper's Magazine:
In the discharge of his duties in
promoting the cause of education he
has been frequently called upon to
address the pupils of schools he has
been visiting. On one occasion he
was at a rural school, and the usual
address was expected at the close of

doctor's speech. Thinking that it wus
a favorable, occasion to impress upon
his youthful auditors the importance
of drill and practice, the doctor,
after expressing ta ylMsw that
the exercises had given him, told the
children that they had done far bet
ter titan he could have done, and
then asked:
"Can some one of you tell me why
it is that I cannot do these calisthen
to exercises aa well as you have dona
them?"
After on instant's pause a small
hand went up, and, on receiving . aa
encouraging word from the doctor.

I called my dogs and made for the
wagon as fast n the good Lord would
let me. Just as I crawled in 1 turned
and saw the show, and I never pitied
unybody in my life as much us I did
that Knglishman with the dogs that
wanted a stronger scent. Out of the
holes came little animals and you
never saw such a mix up In your life.
The dogs ran for the Knglishman and
jumped around him for protection.
Then the Knglishman tried to get awny
from the dogs for protection, too, und
the whole combination started for the
wagon.
"Put the whip to the horses," I t.ld
my man, 'and don't let them get within
half a mile of us.'"
"Hi, there, wait for nic!' cried the
Englishman.
"'Keep your distance,' I responded,
and to the driver I said, 'Whip 'em up.'
So we went mile after mile over that

Died for Her IWinj- Urol her.
One of the touching stories of the
season comes from a little town in
northern Wisconsin, whore a eix-year-ld
child died for her baby
brother. The bnby had been left in
the yard, sleeping in its buggy, and
the sister had been asked to go out
and see to him. There the little girl
saw a big rattlesnake coiled at the
feet of the infant, and, realizing the
danger, seized a broom and tried to
kill the reptile.. The snake, dis
turbed, darted at the little girl,
coiled around the handle of the
broom and slipped down it, striking
Its fangs into the child's neck. The
infant boy was untouched, but the
motherly baby sister died In great
