HAPPENED 40 YEARS AGO
Justice Brewers Experience With Vic
tor Murdoch Near Wichita.

Washington, April A story is told
at the capitol of the meeting of Justice
Brewer and RepreSe ntative Victor Muir
dock of Kansas. when Murdoch first
came to congress. Many years ago Jus
tlce Brewer was a county judge in
Kansas. Travelling one day in a stage
coach, he met man. accompanied by
his wife and a red-haired -2-year-old
boy.
The judge became acquainted with
the father and mother. and insisted that
the boy was fine chap who would
surely make his mark in the world. The
proud parents beamed appreciation,
and the judge reached for the infant
and took MIN on his lap.
Instantly there was iasurrections The
prodigy didn't propose to be joliied. He
kicked the judge viciously, and finally
reaching out a very determined little
raw, scIatched the judges countenance
1hree sharp little nails scraped off three
burrows of skin. and there was great
concern and a very small tribe of real
bloodshed
Years later at White House recep-
ton Justice Brewer walked up to a
young man and said:
am Justice Brewer; may 1 ask
your manner"
Il am Victor Murdoch of your own
state of Kansas and am very glad to
meet you, SIR" replied the young man.
Well said the Judge. 81 was sure
you were the one. You're the red head
ed brat that scratched all the skin OFF
my face in the stage coach near Wicb-
tia about 40 years ago. Young man
you're in contempt of court, and if Won
ever get before me in due judicial form
HI make you smart for it"

allow an atheist in their lodge. 1 am
sure that this is enough to satisfy
those who are in doubt"
In reference to his general religious
beliefs, Mr.. Billiard explained:
ST will admit that am peculiar in
my beliefs in religion. I have beliefs
of my own and I am not strictly ortho-
dox-I do not agree with several of
the creeds. but I do believe in God.

TO AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Harvard Professor Tells Future Meth
cd of Writing "Ads."

Cambridge. Mass. April 4.-The BUSH
ness of '.ad'' writing is now to receive
the attention OF the scientists. Prof.
Charles Sherwood Kicker. of the Har-
ward department of psychology, is quo
ted here today as follows:
I'm a few years psychologists will re-
duce to an exact science the method of
composing advertisements SO as to OBJ
tain the highest number of answers.
Every adj makes a certain impression
upon the eye and this is conveyed to
the mind The will power is swayed
and governed by these sensory impress
sions. If the sensory impressions are
vivid and compelling enough they cause
the will center of the brain to act, thus
forcing the reader to write an answer.
For the purpose of experiment and
research, persons will be selected at
Harvard from all walks of life, of both
sexes and of widely varying grades of
Intelligence and education and they will
be studied with the use Of different
kinds of advertisements with assorted
type styles and arrangements. By the
same means, the psychology depart
n.ent will Investigate the proper news
papers and magazines in which to place
advertisements. in order to get the best
returns
