Justice Field and the Book Agent.

Justice Fieio ana the hook agent.
Several Senator's were discussing in
the cloakroom their experiences in
getting rid of Objectionable visitors.
The talk recalled an episode in the
life of the late Justice Field OF the
Supreme Court, whose temper was OF
the most irascible kind. He had given
instructions to his servant on a GER
tain morning that he was not to be
disturbed. Presently there came a
ring at the door bell and an aggressive
book agent appeared.
Il want to see Justice Field" he
said
You cannot see him." was the reply.
II must see him.
Impossible
The conversation grew more en-
phatic, until finally the persistent
book agents demands echoed through
the house. At that moment Justice
Field, who had been attracted by the
alteration, appeared at the head OF
the stairs.
