JUSTICE HAD LONG MEMORY
The Late David Brewer Said to Have
Recalled Tragic Incident Of
Thlrty-Five Years AGO.

Many years, ago the late Justice
Brewer OF the Supreme court was a
county Judge in frontier Kansas
travelling one day In q stage coach,
ne met a young man who. accom-
panied by his wife and red-headed
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 q
nne chap, who would surely make his
mark In the world. The proud parents
oeamed' 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 jollisd by an old chap out
looking for votes. He kicked the
Judge Uciously, and finally, reaching
out very determined little paw,
scratched on 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 White House reception
oudge Brewer walked up to a young
man and asked:
Pardon me, but l am Justice Brew.
er. May ] ask your manner"
i am Representative Victor Muir
dock of your own state of Kansas,
and ] am very i;ad to meet you, sir"
replied the young man.

skin on my face in the stage coach

ago: Young man, you're in contempt

Roosevelt myth seems TO fade away

Taft has been hauled 20.G8S miles

beating any predecessors record.
He has made 34S speeches. which
is ALMOST 50 per cent more than
Roosevelt made in the most talkatiye
