Brown can rent this land for an

The Authority Which is Supreme.

Edward Everett Hale contrib
utes a number of interesting anec-
dotes of his experience as chaplain
of the Senate in the April Wom-

says of the Supreme Court Room:
"What was the Senate Chamber
of those times is now the Court

preme Court. If you are there be-
fore May is oyer, that Court will
be in session. In the passageway

where we are, is a sort of object

to the Senate, and as he goes he is
called into our Court Room, where
he see and learns what perhaps he
had not thought of, that here is an
Authority which is Supreme. Sen

bate, but here. between both and
