Small Men on U S. Supreme Court.

IL is not unlikely that the United
States Supreme Court will be composed
OF little men physically should the next
selections be of the type of those recently
chosen.
The court for years has been COMPOSED
OF very large men. With the exception of
the Chief Justice every member was
above the average in weight and height
until Judge McKenna was appointed.
Judge McKenna is the lghtest member
OF the bench. The new Justice. Judge
Holmes, of Massachusetts, is reported 10
be a small man, in fact not much larger
than Chief Justice Fuller. Should Attor-
ney-General Knox be appointed there
would he another small man added TO
the court.
Oh all the Justices who have sat on the
bench Justice Gray, who will shortly re-
tire, Is perhaps the ostpowerfully built.

HoTeEDs OF BRIGANDAeE.
The Numerous Bandit Bands of Bull
Earia and Macedonia.

The Numerous Bandit Bands of Bull
Earia and Macedonia.
Bulgaria and Macedonia are the hot.
beds of brigandage, known as such fol-
ages. The territory is mountainous,
crossed by no regular thoroughfares
except the paths worn in the rocks by
the feet of the caravans of centuries.
These districts ale populated by Bull
garians, Albanians, and Turks, living
in small towns among the mountains,
where hard and precarious living can
be wrung from the stony soil only un-
der the most favorable conditions.
With little or no protection from the
government and subject to repeated
and heavy assessments upon their
scanty crops and struggling herds by
the rowing bands of brigands, whose
strongholds are in the same mountain
Businesses, it Is not surprise that the
people become restless and learn to
look upon the brigand leader as a great
and powerful man. Fathers appren-
tice their sons to these leaders of law
lessness and crime to learn the profes-
sion, with the earnest hope and prayer
that by their prowess and strength,
they, too, in due time may be at the
head Of a robber band of their own.
The region, moreover, is especially
adapted for brigandage, because it is
the meeting place of Europe and Asia,
where lawlessness and rapine are fos-
tered by the intense race rivalry and
hatred that consequently PREVAILS

Home Companion.

The air, either with the scent of the
burning wood or without it, says the

arating. The sunlight gilds the Santa

Sometimes we think that there never
was country where everybody had 30
much cause for being happy as in these
United States. And sometimes we forget
that nearly all the laws, maxims and
incentives to patriotism which move our
own hearts and bless mankind had their
real origin long before Greece and Rome
were known to history.
The trails of our forefathers when they
first landed upon these shores and during
their gradual attainment of national in
dependence never fail to awaken SYM
pathy. And yet the most noteworthy
adoption Of new country by wander
ing people was that of the Hebrew. The
devotion of his Hebrew ancestors to their
native land when they were captive ex-
