Washington the other day Of the meet
ing Of the late Justice David j. Brew
er Of the United States supreme court
and Representative Victor Murdoch of
Kansas, the well known insurgent,
when Murdoch first came to congress.
Many years ago Justice Brewer was a
county judge in Kansas. Travelling
one day in a stagecoach. he met
man, accompanied by his wife and
red haired two-year-old boy.
The judge became acquainted with
the father and mother and insisted
that the boy was a fine chap who
would surely make his mark in the
world. The proud parents beamed APP
probation. and the judge reached for
the infant and took him on his lap.
Instantly there was insurrection.
The prodigy didn't propose to be jol-
lied. He kicked the judge viciously
and finally, reaching out a very deter
mined little paw, scratched the Judges
scraped Of three burrows of skin, and
there were great concern and a very
small trine of real bloodshed.
Years later at White House recep-
ton Justice Brewer walked up to n
young man and said:
81 am Justice Brewer. May 1 ask
your name?
II am Victor Murdoch Of your own
state Of Kansas. and I am very glad
to meet you, SIR" replied the young
man.
We'll" said the judge, IT was sure
you were the one. You're the red
headed brat that scratched all the skin

man, you're in contempt of court, and
