all this as a matter of course.
Perhaps her Indifference is partially
due to the fact that she is not burden

rote house. in fact, nobody cares. Igor
rote houses are little more than places
to crawl in out of the rain. There are
no chimneys. and the smoke from the
fire wanders around in leisurely fash

The faces of inmates of these novels
are rarely clean, except after enforced

or line plays only a small part in de-
fining social status. The possession of
white blood is by no means consid-
cred an acquisition to boast of, and
pure natives pride themselves on the
possession of that name. Even the
more intelligent women, though apt
imitators of Spanish graces and Gus
toms, never wholly lose their hold on
native ways. For instance, the same
woman who one night, gorgeously
gowned and covered with diamonds,
may be seen receiving at a function
in the home of the highest official in
the islands, the next day appears sit
ting on the counter of one of the in
Vulnerable little stalls that line the
street, gowned in blue calico and
wearing sandals without stockings and
smoking a cigarette. She seems equal

pie reason that she is accustomed to
both kinds of living. incidentally,
her own home Is probably palatial, and
she herself a charming hostess. At
heart. however, a native is always

the crier again makes proclamation.
"Oyez, Oyer, Oyer! All persons having
business before the honorable, the
Supreme Court of the United States,
are admonished to draw near and give
their attention for the Court is now
sitting. God save the United States
and this honorable Court"
When all are seated and the grafton
of the crier concluded, the Chief JUS
tice, addressing the bar, enquiries if
there are any candidate for admission
to the Supreme Court bar. Generally
there are one or more. A member of
the bar rises and moves the court to
admit Mr.. John Smith, or whatever his
candidates name may be, of the bar
of Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, or
wherever he halls from, and vouches
that he possesses the requisite quail
fications. The motion is invariably
granted, and the candidate immediate
ly takes the oath, and has his name
inscribed on the roll
Next the chief justice calls the dock
ct for the day, and as each case is
called the clerk announces the last Or
der therein, and the case is submi tied
for argument. After the completion
of the call, the chief justice directs
that argument proceed. It may be q
more likely it is the continuation of ar
argument begun days before. The
counsel advances to a desk placed on a
long table within the bar and iTnnle-
diately fronting the chief justice, and
begins, or resumes. his speech. A
stranger not familiar with rules OF
procedure in our courts of last resort
might think that the Supreme Court,
as a body, was paying little attention
to the counsel. But that would be a
great mistake. The case has previous
ly been briefed, and copies are before
each member of the court, and while
the argument proceeds the briefs are
being carefully studied by one or more
justices. Occasionally a member of
the court will make a memorandum,
call a page and give him the paper I;
the boy hurries down stairs to the law
library and soon returns with calf
bound volume. The justice takes the
book, turns the leaves rapidly and
halts at a page which he reads intent
ly. You may be sure that what he
reads bears on the case at bar. Some
times the members of the court make
it interesting by firing questions at
the counsel, or propounding hypothet-
ical cases, or asking the provisions of
the local statue bearing on the case in
hearing.

New York, Nov. S.-Judge George
Gray, head of the committee appointed
by President Roosevelt to arbitrate the
differences existing in the anthracite
coal region between miners and oper-
ators, unravels many judicial tangles
from time to time, but once every year
he is confronted with a problem that
he has repeatedly confessed is beyond
him.
In Philadelphia reside many sons
of Hen and Chickens State-Deia-
ware. Once upon a time these former
Delawareans all belonged to one Della
ware society, and once a year they
got together and dined and wined and
applauded the toasts of eminent men
imported from Delaware for the oc-
casion. Then there came rupture and
two Delaware organizations resulted
the Sons of Delaware and the Della
ware Society.
Now once every year, on the same
night at the same hour, and at the
same hotel these two rival bodies hold
their respective banquets; and to their
boards they both invariably invite all
the big men of Delaware, of whom
Judge Gray is one. Consequently,
Judge Gray, like all of his distin-
guished company once every year
finds himself in a peck of trouble. To
him and all the other guests it's a
case of were 'tother dear charmer
away"
One year the Judge tried to decide
matters by spending part of the even
ing with one set of banqueters and the
remainder of the evening with the
second set. But the Sons of Delaware
felt sighted and sorely grieved be-
cause the Judge had first honored the
Delaware Society by breaking bread
with II. The next year the judge tried
the priority-of-post- mark- ION the-invi-
tation scheme. The Sons OF Delaware
were a few hours ahead, with the re-
suit that many members OF the Della
ware Society felt so badly
over the fact that Judge
Gray had dlned with their
rivals that they looked glum and dis
