SPOILED HIS DINNER
WHY GENERAL CLARK ONCE REFUSED
TO EAT WITH VEST
Sad Ill Klit of the Old SliMnonrl Fight
er Under the Skillful and Men Hen
Baiting of the Artful und Tuutuliz
lnjr Senator
Among the most prominent story toil
ers In Missouri annuls were General
John B Clark of Wilson creek fame
and the George Graham
Vest The writer remembers a story
Senator Vest used to tell about General
Clark that is worth while
Vest ami Clark were seated at a ta
ble in a populur restaurant in Wash
ington chatting about Missouri and
Missourlans while the waiter was out
preparing their order for dinner On
this particular occasion Vest was
doing most of the listening while
General Clark In his peculiar scrapy
piping voice was discoursing upou the
merits and demerits principally de
merits of Missouri political leaders
Those who knew General Clark well
during his lifetime undoubtedly re
member with what extravagance the
general could praise and laud those he
had a liking for at the moment and
with what grim humor he could satir
ize and ridicule the foibles and weak
nesses of those he happened to dislike
It was these dispositions on the part of
the general that caused him to get into
trouble at this time
Although Vest was listening atten
tively and respectfully to the generals
conversation assisting him on with his
story with a grant of approval now
and then even offering suggestions ad
occasion would permit yet all the
while the senator was casting his eyes
to the daily paper spread out upon the
table near him The general encour
aged by Vests grunts and suggestions
was working himself up to a striking
climax In a ludicrous story about a
Missouri politician whom the general
for the moment had concluded he didnt
like when he was abruptly interrupted
by Senator Vests speaking as if he
had just discovered something in the
paper he had been glancing at
By the way general said Vest do
you know one Captain we
will call him Captain John Smith for
the purpose of this story down in
Missouri
Yes snapped the general showing
some irritation at having his story in
terrupted right in the very flower of its
growth certainly I know him and
of the earth than this same Captain
John Smith
This little fling at Captain Smith was
a left handed stroke at Vest for inter
rupting his Clarks story as Vest had
planned and expected it would be
However the general showed a dispo
sition to let it all go at this and at
tempted to resume his fractured story
about the Missouri politician
As I was saying
Well Vest interrupted again not
pretending to notice that the general
had attempted to resume his story I
dont know anything about the fellow
being a coward In fact I know noth
ing about him But I knew you did
and I thought I would get you to tell
me something about him
Of course I know him Vest the
general responded pitching his scrapy
voice in a little higher key and I have
already said enough about him to cause
any genuine Missourian to lose interest
in him There Is nothing to him I tell
you except a yellow streak from the
crown of his head to the sole of his
feet a forked streak Know him I Why
I know him like a book Hes a cow
ard I tell you and thats enough for
any Missourian to know about any
body Why I tell you that fellow is
afraid to go out in the cornfield where
they are gathering corn because the
popping of the breaking cornstalks
sounds so much like a gunshot that it
frightens him nearly to death Dont
talk to me Vest about Captain John
Smith I know him
I didnt know him general Vest in
nocently responded but since you
have given such a graphic description
of his character I feel that I know him
better Nevertheless general the fel
low seems to write a right good arti
cle
Humph snorted th jj nrral in dis
gust Id like to know what that fel
low could be writing about Nobody
would believe a word he could say
Hes a coward I tell you I know for
Ive had him In command under me
and Ive seen him flicker time and
again Nobody will ever believe a word
a coward will ay but Avhat is the fel
low trying to write about Vest
The Battle- of Wilson Creek the
senator replied as he picked up the
paper and prepared to read the story
to the general The senator knew he
had the general at the verge of the
precipice and that it was time to top
ple him over and right well did he do
it
The battle of Wilson creek was Gen
eral Clarks theme on any and all oc
casions and as soon as Senator Vest
mentioned that as being Captain
Smiths subject the general was all at
tention in a moment
The senator began the story at the
beginning and read It clean througfc
for the generals benefit occasionally
glancing over the edge of the paper out
of the corner of his eye to observe the
effect it was having on the general
The senator was soon rewarded for the
general soon began to twist and wrig
gle uneasily In his seat In other
words the general was over the preci
pice He knew It and was working his
brain for all it was worth for a hojd to
recover
The senator chuckled quietly to him
self as he read on Presently he came
to the climax of the story that read
about as follows
It was a desperate and sanguinary bat
tle The mmi In our lino were fulling Ilka
withered leaves In a November gale and
blood was running- In little rivulets from
pool to pool that had gathered In the de
pressions all over the battleground Our
men were mostly raw recruits unaccus
tomed to such scenes of carnage and as
might be expected under such circum
stances they wavered under the dashing
onslaught of the Intrepid Lyon and hl3
valiant men For a moment It appeared
that the day and all even honor would
be lost In complete defeat and Ignominious
rout Just at this critical moment who
should go to the relief of our sorely trlod
men but that gallant brigade commanded
by that bold intrepid leader who knows
not what the word fear means General
John B Clark the greatest hero of tlu
battle and the day was
Who did you say wrote that article
Vest broke in General Clark not be
ing able to restrain himself longer
Captain John Smith the senator re
plied parenthetically and turned to his
paper again as if he was about to re
sume the reading
Oh thunder snorted the general in
response I thought you was talking
about Captain John T Smith at least
that is the man 1 had in mind all the
time You know there were two Cap
tain Smiths in my brigade One was
Captain John T Smith Avhom every
body nicknamed as John the Coward
and there was plain Captain John
Smith whom everybody nicknamed
John the Bold and bold indeed he
was There is no braver more truth
ful and more upright man in every re
spect In all the state of Missouri Vest
than tills same plain Captain John
Smith the bold Furthermore Vest
every word he has written in that ar
ticle is the unvarnished truth from be
ginning to end Ill vouch for plain
Captain John Smith every time Be
sides I was there you know and 1
know it Is so
But general the senator rejoined
as he fairly exploded with laughter
you see this article Is signed by John
T Smith not the plain John Smith 1
did not think at the time that the mid
dle initial would assist you in identify
ing tli is man hence my failure to give
his full name as it is written here
when I first inquired about him
This was too much for the general
Bounding from his seat and shaking
his finger in the senators face he
said
Vest of all the demons that stalk
upon the face of the earth you are the
biggest and most heartless Ill not
eat with you sir Kansas City Star
Sir Walter ScottH Pluck
When Sir Walter Scott was left pov
erty stricken with debt amounting to
i 700000 lie said to his creditors Give
dirtier coward never walked the face me time and I shall be able to pay you
every farthing Having relinquished
his property to his creditors he said to
a friend in a deep thoughtful tone It
must be very hard thus to lose all the
labors of a lifetime and be a poor man
at last But if God grants me strength
and life a few years longer I have no
doubt I shall be able to pay It all
He then set to work in earnest and
during the three years that followed
performed a literary feat unparalleled
and reaped immense profits In these
three years from 1827 to 1830 he wrote
and published about thirty different
volumes making more than ten a year
Besides this he was editing an edition
of his novels to which he added copi
ous notes and such was the demand
for these works that over 1000 persons
were occupied in their mere manufac
ture It seems hardly credible but
nineteen of these volumes were edited
and published in a year The profits
resulting from these three years of la
bor amounted to something like 300
000
Bougrht Her Own Gown
They tell a story of an unfortunate
Parisian society woman who being ter
ribly pushed for a gown to wear at a
great occasion sold seven gowns for
the price of one to Mine X Among
these gowns was one hardly rumpled
and which though very magnificent
had evidently been worn at most only
once This dress Mme X sold as a
model to Mme Y who was the society
womans dressmaker and who had
been obdurate about making another
thing for the poor little woman with
out cash down When this model
came in she saw a chance for big re
turn of money so she compromised
with her customer and agreed to let
her have a new dress just imported
for a very low figure Whereat the
poor little woman paid all the money
she had received for all her dresses and
out Mme Y brought the model The
poor woman talked herself blue in the
face but she could not say anything
to protect herself without betraying
her dealing with Mme X so poor
thing she danced In her old frock
after all having swapped all her other
gowns for the privilege
A Transformation Scene
A fashionable audience in Taris lis
tened to a lecture on chemistry by a
celebrated chemist At the conclusion
of the lecture a lady and gentleman
who were among the first to leave the
hall had reached the open air when the
lady caught her escort staring at Lr
What is the matter asked te isa
dame in surprise Pardon me but yu
are quite blue The lady returned f j
the hall and approached a mirror Phe
started back in horror The rouge upon
her cheeks had been converted into a
beautiful blue by the chemical decom
position which had taken place under
the influence of the gases which had
been generated during the lecture The
majority of the women in the audience
had suffered in a similar manner
There were all sorts of colors blue
yellow violet and black Some whose
vanity had induced them to put ivory
on the skin coral on the lips rouge on
taa cheeks and black on the eyebrows
had undergone a ludicrous transforma
tion
