tedly from wide circle of friends,wa the

Seminary at Ardover, some forty years

1gA pretty good anecdotc is told of
Chief Justice fancy and the Supreme
Court on the day of the fire at the Capitol
in Washington. The Library WAS in flames,
and clouds of smoke were rolling out and
enveloping the Capitol. The Chief Jnstice,
nevertheless, appeared in his seat at the
usual hour. "May it please your honor"
said some one, "will the Court sit to-day"
The chief looked up, cody and signif.
,antly, to ask, {" Is the court room really
IN fire ?" "Oh no, not yet" was the
answer. "Then we'll sit till it is" added
,he chief And the Court did sit, trans
,cting business as usual, amid all the
confusion about it.
