HAD LONG MEM0RY
The Late David Brewer Said to Have
Recalled Tragic Incident of
Thirty-Five Years Aoo.

Many years ago the late Justice
Brewer of the Supreme court was u
county Judge in frontier Kansas
raVellng one day In a stage coach.
ne met young man who. accom-
panied by his wife and red-he AIDED
tWo-year-old boy, was just moving into
the state. The Judge became ac-
quainted with the father and mother
and insisted-for the austere Judge of
later years was in those days q mighty
good politician-that that boy was a
nne chap, who would surely make his
mark In the world. The proud parents
peaned appreciation, and the Judge
reached for the infant and took him
on his lap. Instantly there was in
surrection. The prodigy did not pro-
pose to be jollied by an old chap out
looking for votes. He kicked the
Judge viciously, and finally, reaching
out very determined little paw,
scratched of three burrows Of skin,
and there was great concern and a
very small trifle of real bloodshed.
Thirty-odd years passed, and one
night at a White House reception
Judge Brewer walked up to a young
man and asked:
Pardon nae, but l am Justice Brew
er. May / ask your name?"
am Representative Victor Muir
dock OF your own state Of Kansas,
and / am very I'D to meet you, SIR"
replied the young man.
WELL" said the judge, II was sure
you were the one. You're the red
headed brat that scratched all the
skin on my face in the stage coach
near Wichita about thirty.five years
ago. Young man, you're in contempt
OF court. and II you ever get before
me In due judicial form I'll make you
smart for II. Why, I'm strongly
minded to take you and spank you for
1t right now. You look to me Just
about big enough to begin to be
spanked"
