Wayne MacVeagh, the well known
Philadelphia lawyer, and ex-minister 70
italy. has a keen sense of humor, says
the Philadelphia Post.
Recently he was arguing tedious
technical case before the Supreme Court.
The affar drifted through long days OF

ended, Mr. MacVeigh and a colleague,
in talking II over, speculated as TO whom
Chief Justice Fuller would assign to write
the opinion IN the case, and the specula-
ton resulted in a wager.
Just then Chief Justice Fuller came
down the corridor Mr.. MacVeagh called
him and told him OF the wager.

Justice. and tell mo whether my guess

The Times tomorrow will print the fol-

Chairman Upton of the Evans State

Mark Hanna's letter would have. He re-
piled that IL would have the same effect
as shaking a red rag in the face of an
angry bull.

Mr. Upton. Our committee meets next
Wednesday TO organize for the fight, and

coed.
