MAY FILL FOUR
PLACES ON BENCH
Taft to Choose Successors to
Chief Justice Fuller and
Associates.
WILL GET A FULL SALARY.
SOME MEMBERS OF SUPREME
BENCH ARE PAST THE AGE LINZ
1T OF SEVENTY YEARS-RooSE-
WELT MAY NOT ACT.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Associate JUS
tice Rufus w. Peckham reached his
SEVENTEEN year Saturday, and conse-
quently adds another to the list of
members of the supreme court who are
eligible to retirement. The law per
mits justices to retire with full pay
when they have reached the age Of 20
though a few members who have been
blessed with robust health have waiv-
ed the rule.
Now that the complexion Of the ma
tional administration has been settled
for four years to come, it would not
be surprising If there should be some
changes in the personnel of the su-
preme tribunal before many months
have elapsed. With Justice Peckham
there are four members of the court
who have passed the retiring age.
These are Melville w. Fuller, chief
justice, who is 70; John NJ Harlan, as
sociate justice, who is only three
| months the junior of the chief justice;
David j. Brewer, associate justice,
who will be II next June, and Justice
Peckham, who was 20 years old today.
President Roosevelt is not likely to
have an opportunity to name a mem
Der of the supreme court, but his sue
cessor will in all probability have the
naming of at least four to take the
place of those now eligible to retire.
J Chief Justice Fuller has already Civ
en- nearly six years more to the ardu
Gus task of weighing every matter
| coming before the court than he would
have had to give. He is hale and
I hearty, we'll preserved old man, and
bears his threescore and fifteen years
with grace. Though for the time he
| is chief justice Mr.. Fuller is compelled
! by precedent and good taste to KEEP
out of politics, he is yet stancf
democrat, and among his friends it Is
an open secret that he has held his
high position during the last few years
in the hope that President Roosevelt
might be succeeded by a democrat, ant
that his own successor might be a mar
of like political faith.
Next to Chief Justice Fuller in poin
of years comes Justice Harlan. He i:
a man of large physique and seeming
ly as full of health as the best of men
But he has reached an age where mos
men seek rest from active affairs, ant
his retirement before long is expected
His has been an exceedingly active ca
reer. He comes from Virginia vi;
Kentucky, that is, his ancestors were
Virginians. He is a republican ant
in 1875 was the republican candidat,
for governor Of Kentucky. He ha
been an associate Justice since 1877.
Justice Brewer became eligible TO
retirement last year. He was borl
in Asia Minor in 1887, his father hav
ing been missionary to Turkey
Whether he intends to avail himsel
of the privilege to retire in the nea
future is not known. He appears t.
be man of excellent health. In pol
itics he is republican.

Tho Traces Of the Beasts.

On every side in the Malay wilds
the traces Of the beasts-which here
live as scheduled, as safe from moles-
tation, as did their ancestors in pre-
Adamite days-are visible on tree

the yielding clay at the drinking
places by the hurrying stream. Here
a belt of mud nine feet from the
ground shows that an elephant has
rubbed his itching back against the
rough bark Of a tree. and. see. coarse
hairs are still sticking in the hardened
clay. There long. sharp scratch re-
peated at regular intervals marks the

Of all sizes and varieties surround the

Many Of the current novels read BY

Of 1.-THE Great Stone Face"
Legend said: Some day a great and
good man would come and stand by
the noble stone face in the mountain,
and his face would be like the stone
face. A boy looked every day for
years on the stone face. He admired
the face. He learned to love It One
day, grown to manhood, he stood by

that his face had been changed into the

Queer Traits Shown by some of the
Operate Stars.
The celebrated impresario Schur-
mann said it was precarious matter
to draw up an agreement with a star,
for each one had some strange little
provisos which he insisted on insert
ing. In one contract Tamagno exacted
that he should be allowed thirty seven
candles each night In his dressing
room. Schurmann was amazed that
even a great tenor should require SO
much illumination. but he consented.
When Schurmann visited Tamagno's
dressing room he found only two can
dies alight. On another occasion he
discovered only one. Inquiries led to
the discovery that the provident tenor
saved up the other candles and sold
them at profit
Schurmann said that a small boy
whose father was a great friend of
Caruso's, having asked the tenor for a
signed photograph. received as a reply,
Certainly; go to my photographer; be
will sell you photograph, and If you
bring that to me l will write on 1t
whatever you like"
A great feminine star made a stipu-
lation that all her baggage be carried
at the company's expense. duty free.
Somewhat to the surprise Of the i'm
presarto, the lady, whose wardrobe was
not extensive. carried about with her
great number of enormous. heavy
boxes. These were afterward discov-
cred to contain rice. which is very
cheap in Italy and which was sold al
a profit in protectionist France.

THE HEAD HUNTERS.
uneanny Trophies That Are Cherished
by the Dyaks.

by the Dyaks.
The head hunting propensities OF
the Dyaks are we'll known to the stu
dents Of ethnology. The leading
thought in the taking of heads is the
idea that the conqueror could secure
the soul of the conquered and add it
to his own, increasing thereby his
courage and strength and consequent
~ his reputation as a hero as long as
the head of the victim remained in
his possession. 1t is therefore the
custom Of the people after battle to
wrap the severed heads in loose
a fire of damp wood and leaves. Then
they hang the CHASTITY trophies in the
houses in bundles having an uncanny
resemblance to gigantic clusters Of
grapes, each head forming a berry.
These war trophies are considered by
the Dyaks their most sacred posses
sions and are guarded with the ut
most jealousy and vigilance. Their
loss would mean not only a considera-
Bile decrease of personal prestige, but
also the loss of part of the ''soul'-
that is, of courage and strength.
l have often had the questionable
privilege Of sitting under the bundles
of heads in the Dyak houses as the
seat Of honor and of examining them
closely. Anakoda Unsang. who claim
ed to be my friend. was not talka-
tive man, but when reused from his
usual stolidity would relate the cir
cumstances of many a battle and vic

The japanese Soy.

The spy system which the japanese
employed during the war with Russia
and which was the wonder as well as
the puzzle OF the world may be said to
have been introduced into Japan by the
ancient bushi, who found the basis for
it in Chinese text from which came
SO much Of their military knowledge.
Therein may 1t be read that the spy is
the finest evolution of military strate-
gy. Five kinds are painstakingly de-
fined, but the greatest Of these is de-
clared to be he who can pretend disloy-
atty and disaffection to the commander
to whom he really has sworn fealty IN
order that he may SO gain the conf
dence of the enemy. live as one OF
them in their own camps and betray
them into following course that to
them will spell defeat-I. K. Friedman

SOME WORD ORIGINS.
Hurrah Comes From the Oil 8attisery
of the Nikinas.

of the Vikings
Rah. the final syllable OF most coli
lege yells Is. OF course. short for bur
rah The word hurrah itself comes
from the old battlecry OF the ancient
vikings - namely. Tur Ale. which
means God aid. There Is another form.
huzza, which comes from hosanna.
This was the old cry of the crusaders.
The word yes comes directly through
the Norman-French oyez. which means
near In its old form IT is still
used by beadles and certain municipal
officials in civic functions in England
and also by the royal heralds In pro-
claiming the succession OF sovereigns
to the throne No is purely Norman
French and comes from the Latin
non ita, meaning not so. The real
Anglo-Saxon was nay, Just as the An
glo-Saxon affirmative WAS yea. The
word mister is directly from the Latin
magister, meaning master. Mrs. IL
from the word mistress. and formerly.
as late as the eighteenth century. all
unmarried women were given the title
of mistress-as. for example. Mistress
Sophia Western In tom Jones" Es-
Quire is derived from the old Norman
French escuyer. which means shield
bearer. Every knight of the shire had
bis shield bearer. and the honor OF
carrying the shield was supposed to
confer gentility upon the follower. The
word gentleman rntil the middle of the
seventeenth century meant. as the
present French word gentilhomme. a
nobleman. nothing less. and no man
was gentleman who was not entitled
to bear arms."-New York World.

He Was a Good Dresser and Careful,
With His Things.
The line which separates those who

death that heard Of the tragedy that

later life and bitterly mortified his
wife and daughters.
Thirteen year ago his clo'es was
