Chief Justice Waite, of the sa-
preme court, had a funny expert
ence the other day, and as he related |
it to any number of friends, the
story has had wide circulation in
society. Several weeks ago he had
an imperitive engagement in Balti-
more. Like all great men he is
absent-minded. He
went up to the court, and after a
few moments session adjourned
the court, and came down leisurely
to the Baltimore q Ohio depot,
which is only short distance from
the capital. As he got out, of the
street car he found he had ten min
and get seat on the train. AS he
went up to the ticket-office he dis
covered to his surprise, that he had
only few pennies in his, pocket.
He had neglected to provide him
self with "scrip for his Journey"
He looked around the waitiugl
but saw no one he knew. What
was to be done must be done quick
Iy; his engagement was an inn
pOrtant one. So he fled UP in the
line to the ticket Office, and when
he reached the window the chief
ustice smiled an awful smile across
he full width of his ample mouth,
Ind asked the ticket agent if he
knew him.
