Supreme Court Ways.

When the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States assemblies at II O'Clock ON
each Monday the room Is filled with
lawyers. clerks. newspaper men ana
spectators. Routine announcements
are made by the chief justice In a
voice no one can understand. Deci-
sions of great moment are rendered by
other Justices in mumbled words which
are not heard. Lawyers. clerks. news
paper men and spectators stare hard at
the honorable justice who may be talk
ing or reading. some with hands curv-
ed into round board so that they can
catch few words If possible. But no
one In the courtroom shouts Louder
No one would last very long If he did.
And should person be sentenced for
contempt of the supreme court 1t would
be the end. AS an old colored en-
ployee once said, ''Dere amt no appeal

During recent slight illness the
five-year-old Teddy. usually so amia-
BILE. fatty and obstinately refused to
take his medicine. After a somewhat
prolonged and Intellectual argument
with him his mother at last set the
glass of medicine down, leaned her
head on her hands and 'played" that
she was crying. A moment passed,
and the tender hearted Teddy. unable
longer to bear the sight of his mothers
stricken attitude. inquired. Whats
the matter. mother, dear! With
out removing her hands from her
eyes she replied. I'm grieved that my
son won't take his castor oil for me-
Whereupon Teddy sat up in bed and
offered consolingly: "Oh. wouldn't
feel bad If were you, mother. dear
Father will be home soon, and he'll
make me take it."-Delineator.

Clorinda was as black as night and
of heroic proportions. but in every pos

mistress. for whom she had great ad-
mlration. Il like to look jes' as much
like you as | can." she often said.
"'cause you looks jes' like lady orter
look, Mis- Hendson."
Clorinda intrusted all her shopping
to Mrs. Henderson and scorned the
bright colors and pronounced styles af-
fected by her own friends. One day
she asked her mistress TO buy her Il
pair of low shoes. As she made the re-
quest she glanced with admiration at
the slim little foot showing beneath
the edge of dainty skirt.

counter once or twice and bite 1t be-
sides. When she got home with the
dime It had several holes In It from
the pressure of east side teeth. "It is
more impossible than ever" she said.

evening. He had a dollar with him
which was wholly intact-that Is to
say, 1t had not been broken.
