ner as to be thoroughly convincing.
In fact, the extemporaneously an
nounced decisions of Justice White
sound more convincing when delivered
than those read by the other Justices.
In a somewhat lesser degree Justice
Holmes has the same faculty.
Besides being an ardent enthusiast
over the game OF baseball Justice
White has fad for precious stones.
He does not wear them for personal
adornment. but rarely ever goes TO

Genial Justice Lurton
washington's present ideas OF the
humaneness OF Justice Lurton are based
on the fact that he is exceedingly
genial and approachable. Otherwise
he has not been in the national capital
quite long enough for the public to gee

late David j. Brewer. any Washington
ian can tell you that Brewer could hold
his own in repartee with any one One
day. when Chief Justice Fuller. who
always takes great pride in. speaking
for his home city. Chicago, had said.
There are more Jews in Chicago than
in Jerusalem; more Irish than in any
Irish city; more French than In anv

mans that in any German city except

that these men who lay down the law
for the republic undoubtedly show their
human sides to one another in Inter-
esting profusion- And it probably Is
the fact that II the general public
could get glimpse OF the supreme
court of the United States at its mid
day meal the idea that the court is

human beings instantly would be rele-
gated to the limbo Of outworn SUPER

Justice Harlan is partial to Kentucky
institutions
While riding down from the capitol
one day he had his cogitations inter
rupted when woman got on the car
at Center market. She wore heavy
coat with large open sleeves in which
a small valise might easily have been
hidden. Passengers on the car noticed
Justice Harlan shifting the air with
great gusto. Finally, bending forward,
he was seen to look up the woman's
sleeve nearest him.
Madame, is that mint?" he was
heard to say.
The woman. recognizing the justice,
replied that it was.
IF had it know just what would
do with it, said the justice, smiling
to himself.
No sooner had this remark been made
than the woman took large bunch of
mint from her sleeve and divided it into
two equal parts, one of which she
handed to the justice. Mr.. Harlan was
observed to accept the proffered gift
with thanks, He put it in his overcoat
pocket and. reaching behind him, rang
the bell to stop the car and left it at
the next corner.
Another friend of the Justices sent
him a case of fine old Kentucky bour-
bon. Harlan did not see the friend
again until he went to church the fol-
lowing Sunday. After church he hailed
the donor with That was fine
Then. seeming TO realize where he was.
Justice Harlan added, hastily: "The
sermon, ! mean"
1t is said that Justice Harlan has
strong fear Of death. Whether the fear
actually exists or not, 1T nevertheless
afforded the late Justice Packham, who
was a democrat, an opportunity to open
conversation along this line with his
colleague.
why is 1t, Harlan" he said one day,
that you, who are such good Presby-
terian. have such horror OF death?"
Justice Harlan lcoked at him crit
ically for moment and replied
ITO tell you the truth, Peckham, 1
am afraid / might land in democratic
headquarters after 1 pass over the
river"
"Humphr" was the only reply vouch-
safed by Justice Peckham.
Justice Harlan has served on the SUI
preme bench longer than any other
man, save only John Marshall, J. Story
and S. ]. Field. He is said to be one
of the few members of the supreme
court who brought a host of friends
with him to Washington to back UP his
application for the job. Both he and
Chief Justice Fuller are shining exam
pies of the longevity of those who sit
upon the supreme bench.
Chief Justice Fools a Lawyer
Chief Justice Fuller, who in many
ways is the direct antithesis of Justice
Harlan. has no particular liking for
doing things which attract public at
tention outside of his decisions from
the bench. He likes quiet dinners
where the conversation is of the solid
and profound type, and in such gather
ings he is a conspicuous parsonage. In
cidentally, he has scruples about work
ing on the Sabbath day. and it is re-
corded that on one occasion, where 1t
was absolutely necessary that the
proof of a decision should be ready for
the Monday morning session of the

when OFF THE Bench

The general idea seems TO be
that the supreme court of the
United States is made up of super
men, but-WeIl, there's Justice
Harlan, who is partial to Ken
tucky's famous institutions and the
very human game OF gOlf-How
Chief Justice Fuller showed his
humanity by plotting to confOund a
shrewd lawyer who was using the
supreme court decisions to play the
market-Justice Holmes shows his

and had also served the state as at

licans of the state against ]. B. Nc
Creary. since senator. who was his
great personal friend, although of op-
posite political faith. The pair stumped
the state together, speaking from the
same conveyances.
One night they reached a mountain
hamlet on muleback, to find all the
beds in the local hotel occupied, save
one. 1t was therefore necessary that
the two rivals should sleep together
McCreary was a man of average size,
while Justice Harlan is a man of gigan-
tic stature. McCreary was first to bed.
AS Harlan blew out the light and lay
down beside his rival he remarked:
Mac. the next governor of Kentucky
is certainly going to be in this bed to-
night"
Just then the Stats of the rickety
structure gave way and Justice Harlan
fell on his head on the floor, while
McCreary went down in the midst of
the wreck, the collapse of the head and
foot boards adding to the general hub
bub. No sooner had Harlan gained
his senses, however, than he heard Nc
Creary say from the pile of bed clothes
and timber:
You are right, judge. The next
governor of Kentucky is still in bed"
Some of the best stories on Justice
Harlan had their origin on the golf
course On one occasion he was playing
with friend, who, driving off from
the home tee, hit a cow in the mouth
with the ball. To his great alarm, the
ball failed to reappear, and the friend
undertook to make the cow disgorge
by pounding It on the back with his
driver. The COW, not understanding
this treatment, took to its heels across
the course and finally dropped the ball
on the edge Of the green of the hole
toward which it was being played. BY
an extraordinarily good putt Justice
Harlan's opponent holed the ball and
calmly awaited the approach. of his
rival Justice Harlan finally holed his
ball. when his friend remarked:
We'll. judge. how many strokes did
you takeY'
L took eight" replied Mr. Harlan.
Well, I made it in two" said his
friend.
You mean s2." replied the Kentuck-
ian.
How's that?" asked his rival.
II counted one for every belt you
gave that cow" was the reply.
Justice Harlan's Great Hobby

1t is Kentucky and all it contains. 1t
is said in Washington that no KEN

Endorsement for any office without get

- HE supreme court of the United
States. which is just now very
much in the minds of the people,
owing to the important questions
pending before it and the shifting
- personnel Of the bench, is said to be the
most dignifed body in the world. 1t
IS looked up to by young and old alike
as the bulwark OF the republic, and,
perhaps, there has grown in the public
Imagination an exaggerated idea that
the members OF the court are some
thing more than mere human beings.
AS matter Of fact. it can be said
without fear Of contradiction that
while the members OF the supreme
court are always intent upon upholdine
the dignity OF their official Office and
upon rendering equal and exact justice
TO all applicants for legal relief. no
more human men control the destinies
Of the nation and Of each Individual
citizen in it than the present occupants
Of the supreme court bench of the
United States. In private life they
have their fads and fancies the same
as other men. and as exponents of re-
fined wit and humor they can more
than hold their own. Some of the sto-
ries told OF present members OF the
court serve well TO illustrate the fact
that while on the bench they may
temper justice with mercy" they have
little mercy" on those who cross their
paths outside Of the courtroom. New
ertheless, the justices are not prone to
advertise their ability at repartee. and

appear on public occasions. except Of

DUNN RETURNS

HilltOppers' Hopes Raised for
Big Game Saturday.

No scrimmage was attempted on the
Hilltop yesterday afternoon. Coach Neil
sen being content TO run his charges
through a long signal drill. which lasted
for an hour and a half, ending up with
io-yard dashes along the gridiron. and
as a final, 150-yard dash to the gym
nasium. The recent injuries TO Dunn and
Walsh will probably cause this kind of
practice to take place daily until Friday,
IS both coaches are afraid lest some
other unfortunate accidents may occur at
the twelfth hour and destroy all hopes
of victory. Both Of the injured men
were out yesterday. Dunn for the first
time since last Wednesday, and pros
poets look bright for his starting Satur-
days big game Walsh's injury was not
so serious as at first supposed. and the
doctors say he will be able to get out
In uniform by Thursday. With these
two stars in the game. Georgetown's
chances should be greatly increased.
During practice yesterday, much time
was given to trick plays and formations
which worked well and We're executed
with much vim and snap. Sitterding and
Costello variated at quarter back, and
should Walsh be unable TO play, 1t viii
be a toss between these two, with the
