There were times when he waa absorbed in thought and than bt waa taciturn. ' Again, he was gregarloua and the life of every company be entered. To be moody is an attribute of genius, and ought to be a privilege of genius. It la re lated that one. day the late William 1L Hatch, who entered the house the day Vest entered the senate went over to consult the senator and found him In a fit of ab straction, moody and taciturn. In dream land. Indeed. Hatch had about as much Imagination aa a washtub or a broomstick. A big, robust man, though Ves survived him, be was full of energy, and could work from sun to sun. An enthuslastlo legisla tor, he never oeaaed his labors, and of him It might be aald aa Waduworth said of reter Bell: A primrose tin a river brim A yk-llow primrose was to him, " And "it was nothing more. ' Hatch got no satisfaction out of Vest, who waa thinking of things In the clouds, no doubt, so he went tearing back to the house, aoattnrlng expletives on the way. But some Missouri people got hold of him and told him that Vest would be all right next day, and to go and see him when, he waa in the vein. And so Haxoh did and came back delighted. There waa a discus sion aa to what waa the ocoaslon ot Vest's moods, and ona ox the party Bald It waa his Imagination, that all imaginative peo ple were that way, and cited Lamar, who waa ten times wtree than Vest. .

The ad ministration at Richmond feels that the Confederacy ought to take poeitlun aa a sovereign state at the courts of foreign na tions; and Mr. Davis wants the mxt con gress to give authority to appoint mlrlters and oonsula to all important foreign coun tries.

They drink wine there Instead of water; and tha very night Is vocal with sweet roualo. Crisp, If I go to congress will have something to say about who goes to Italy. "Crisp edged up cloeer t Vest and, sigh ing and looking at him with tears In his eyes, saidt ' 'George, I dont aee why a fellow like Rathbua wants to go to congress, anyhow. He makes a good soldier; but what the Confederacy wants Is a man at Richmond wtioso gift of oratory, like yours, can com mand attention. I wish you would see it It cannot be arranged for Rathbun to be made a brigadier. I have thought all tha time you were the man to be sent to con gress. ' "It is not positively known how Crisp arranged the matter, but Vest was elected, and It la not recorded that Crixp got to Italy." . - A Famoas IMorr. Senator Vent's most famous anecdote la that of Ulas Bertie Allendale. It was told when the two chambers were arrayed against each other on the tariff In 1801, and the house waa insisting that the country would go without any tariff act unless the senate were prepared to forego Its own achadules and adopt those of the house. "IiXmy younger days out west," said Mr. Vint, "I went Into a variety theatar one nlgit 1 "It waa one of thorn primitive shows where the stage manager comes before the footlights without a coat and waiatooat and with Ha shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows, to anr-ounoe tha next number of the program. , " 'Mian liwtle Allendale,' remarked the stage manager, sppearlirg In one of the lnterludoe, 'vthij lias entranced two hemi spheres with her wonderful voeul powers, will uuw render, Ui Uer own Inimitable .4.00 5.00 'All our other Napkins, cloths and odd pieces at an enormous reduction.

"A gentleman In a red flannel ehlrt rose In the midst of the audience and exclaimed In an Impressive bass voice: Oh, thunderl Mis? Allendale can't sing for green apples!' "The manager, who had started to leave the stage, halted and turned. An ugly light flashed from the eye which swept the audlenoe and finally rested on the face of the Interrupter. Raising one shoulder higher than the other,' letting one hand drift significantly toward his hip pocket, and thrusting his nether jaw forward In a savage way, he observed, with a dellberate ness which emphasised every syllable: 'Nevertheless and notwithstanding. Miss Bertie Allendale will strjg 'Down In the Valley.' "And she did. So, likewise, neverthe less and notwithstanding, the senate sched ules will stand. Vest's Capital Cabla. The little old cabin which Vest lodged during his first year tn Washington as the servant of his country Is still pointed out to sightseers. 'When he first came to the capital city about tha. only man ha knew waa his friend, Joe Blackburn of Ken tucky, and to him he applied for assist anoe In finding an inexpensive . lodging place. Blackburn steered him to an apart ment which Vest aoon discovered was over an undertaker's shop. Vest waa not naturally superstitious, but the grewsome sights he saw and the sounds that floated up through hla window from the work shop of death were anything but Inspir ing to a man who had only one acquaint ance In the city. He voiced his discontent In the ears of hla friend. "Now, don't aay that!" protested Black burn. "Why, you are almost as gloomy aa the last man who occupied this room. Ah.!" sighed Joe. "Poor Jones!" "What about hlmT" asked Vest, pricking up "his ears. "He's dead now," answered Joe. "I re member the laat I saw of him. I came up In this room to see him one evening at dusk. I knocked and got no answer. Jones and I were cronies, so I did not stand on ceremony, but walked In. I ran up kerflop right againat Jones' legs." "WhatT" "Tea, poor Jones waa dead. He waa hanging from the chandelier, right over where you are sitting now." That waa enough for Vest. Tha very next morning he started out, determined to take th first lodging he could And to escape from his present quarter VtTiat ha found was the little cabin. Veat ana amy.

After Quay received hla election and waa seated without question Veat was missed one evening. "Where hve you beenT" he was asked. "Why, between you and me," waa the re sponse, "I have been out withMatt Quay celebrating his return to the senate." Vest waa no worshipper of luck. "The lucky dog," he used to aay, "la the one that hunts, for bones, and hunta until he gets them." "Man's Best ITtead." One of the most eloquent ' tribute ever . paid to the dog waa delivered by Senator Vest of Missouri soma years ago. He waa attending court In a country town, and while waiting for the trial of a case In which he waa Interested waa urged by the attorneys In a dog case to help them. Voluminous evidence was Introduced to show UuU the defendant shot the dog In nkailce, whila other evidence went to ahow that the dog had attacked defendant. Veat took no part In the trial and waa not dis posed to speak., The attorneys, however, urged him to apeak. Being thus urged, he arose, scanned the face of each juryman for a moment, and said: "Gfentlemen of the Jury: The best friend ay man haa In the world may turn against hiih and become hla enemy. Hla son or daughter' that be has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom ws trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man haa ha may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs It most, A man's reputation may be sacri ficed in a moment of Ill-considered action.

Then Vest sat down. He had spoken In a low voice, without a gesture. He made no reference to the evidence or the merits of tha case. When he finished Judge and jury were wiping their jyes. ,The Jury filed out, but soon entered with a verdjet of $600 for the plaintiff, whoiw dog was shot, and It was said that aomt.of the Jurors wanted to hang the defendant.
