You may sing of California.
And its climate all so rare,
Or of picturesque New England
With it's pure and bracing air;

You may talk of this or that resort,
And argue which is best
Only leave me Sunny Kansas,
And you're welcome to the rest.

supreme bench, but he is one of the most
vigorous. In personal appearance he is a
typical westerner. He is a tall, well built,
solid looking man, who did not seem to be
of hop l. hoR 10 int ho
midst of the dense throng that filled every
nook and corner of the small court room.
Judge Brewer must have practiced reading
the oath to which he subscribed his name,
for he read it in as deliberate and impress
sive manner as if he were delivering an
opinion from the bench. The new justice
is not so BALD as are most of his colleagues,
and his hair is jet black; so is the long chin
beard SO characteristic of western men.
His cheeks are shaved smooth, revealing
massive jaws that show him to be man
of grim determination of character.

ter III his comments on other people be-
sides Democrats. He is reported to have
declared that General Benjamin Harrison
deserves more thanks from the Democrats
than from mis- own party. The measure of
General Harrison has been taken: a snuffy,
commonplace Hoosier is visible. but
nothing more AS brilliant as blue
book, as inspiring as fire-damp, as COM
manding as an old crow, General Harrison
toddles along the narrow path of politics
with no more majesty than Baby Mckee.
