Judge White manages to control his flow Of wit
when in court, but when the tribunal is not in
session he gives his mood full play.
Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, of one OF
the most distinguished American scholars and
one Of it's rarest humorists, has a great deal of
the fun of his father in him, but sefconfessedly
he tries to hold it's expression in check on many
occasions because it might be said that he was
trying to make Oliver Wendell Holmes the

first and this the present Justice modestly holds.
to be impossible
Not long ago a lawyer went to the residence
of one Of the associate justices of the Supreme
court 4 married man and who the lawyer
thought was the sta;dest of the staid The Wis
itcr had gone to see the justice to get some ad-
vice on behalf Of person who he know was
family friend CT the of whom he was seeking
advisory help
1t seems that the mans wife had died. and
while the husband was kindly disposed and
most excellent man generally, his father-1n-laW
and motber-in~law insisted on taking the chill
aren who had been left motherless. The wild
over did not want to part with his children and
neither did he want to make tght Whlch
would bring the children into cubic notice and
father and mother.
The lawyer who calling on the justice
said What would you do if your father-in-law
and mctnern-law your wife's death tried to
Get your children away from your The answer
came quick and sharp ed tell them to go to the
devil.
Now it happened that the Justices wife was
sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at this strong
expression from the judicial minded one looked
with trepidation at Mrs. Justice expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her nus
bands outbreak. The visitor relieved and
| also somewhat surprised when Mrs. Justice said.
I'D tell them to go to the devil, too"
The household court being thus unanimous,
the lawyer went away and gave advice to his
client, and the presumption is that within a day
or two the father-in-law and motherin-law went
| to the devil.
The justices Of the Supreme court put on their

Lost IN NEW YORK
Thousands of Disappearance
Reported to Police Annually.
Esther Maude Mearson's Case Resem-
bIes in Many Respects That of
Ruth Wheeler Who Was Muir
dered.

New York.-Exhaustive search by
the police in every nook and corner
Of New York failed to reveal the
slightest trace of Esther Maude Near
son, aged sixteen, who mysteriously
disappeared after starting out to seek
work as stenographer.
The case resembles in many re-
spects that of Ruth Wheeler, who
also sought employment as a stem
ographer and went to the rooms Of AL
bert Wolter, where she was mur-
dered and her body burned and put
into sack. 1t is another of the many
strange disappearance of a great
citys daily life.
In fact, the parents Of Esther Near
son, having in mind the sad fate Of
Ruth when their own daughter went
in search of employment, cautioned
her against going to private residences
for work or answering post card re-
quests for help as did Ruth Wheeler,
Esther, an unusually attractive girl,
well proportional and large for her
age, was also warned to be careful
of her conduct while in the presence
of strange men.
1t was Lyon Mearson, brother Of
the missing girl, who first notified the
police of her disappearance. Lyon, a
graduate of the New York law school,
is employed in the Office Of a large
law firm. Joseph Mearson, the girls
father, is a retired jewelry and dry
goods salesman. There are seven chill
dren in the family. They live at 107
East One Hundred and Twenty-third
street.
Esther left school two years ago
and became pupil in the Hebrew
Technical institute, where she took a
special course. Upon leaving the in

stitute she took up the study of stem
ography at her home and before long
became proficient in it. While it was
not necessary for her to seek employ
ment, the girl did not wish to be idle.
Mrs Mearson was the only mem
Der of the family to talk with Esther
Monday morning, when the girl was
preparing to continue her quest of a
position. The girl was more conf
dent than ever she would find a place
where there would be chance of ad-
vancement. She told her mother that
was the kind of a position she was
trying for.
Il will be home as soon as I can,
mother" said Esther, as she kissed
her parent goodby. 81 will be glad
if I find the place I am looking for be-
cause need something to occupy my
mind"
A woman describing herself as Mrs.
J. F. Kennedy went to see Mrs Near
son and told her that she was pretty
sure that she had seen Esther on Third
avenue near One Hundred and Twen-
ty-Fifth street Mrs. Kennedy said
she saw a middle-aged man in the
neighborhood of fifty, say, accost the
girl, calling her miss" The girl, Mrs.
Kennedy says, stopped and the two
were still talking when Mrs. Kennedy
went on about her own affairs.
Thousands of such cases come to
the notice of the Gotham police ev-
cry year Some of the disappearing
persons return after they have been
away a short time and the public
hears nothing more of them. Others
never are found and go down in the
annals of the police department as
unexplained mysteries.

Now it is scheme to buy fruit land on the
Pacific coast Our city friend is told he can make

I found a young man almost on his way to the
bank to draw $500 for such scheme, says a
writer in the Metropolitan. He had a guaranty
that in five years he would be drawing $4,000 an
nually from his farm" Next is some cooperative
scheme fer growing peaches in Texas or oranges
in Florida. You do not work. You simply buy
stock In the enterprise pay for it, of course, and
then sit In the shade and draw your dividends.
You sit in the shade-no doubt of that-and the
