papers all over the world as the result
OF the joke Associate Justice Brewer
OF the United States supreme court
told on the rotund secretary OF war at
the recent Yale commencement. The
pleasantly of the distinguished jurist,
1t will be remembered, was based on a
compliment he desired to pay to the
chivalry of Yale men.

said Justice Brewer, but Secretary
Taft is the most polite man | ever

got up and gave his seat to three wo-

Scores of clippings based on this
joke reach the war department every
week. 1t has found its way into many
languages, but the Germans seem to
appreciate ii most. Many of the Ger
man papers comment on the story at
length and say that at last the Yam
KEGS seem to be developing real wit.
