Got Too Familiar.

A story told of Justice Brewer concerns a trip he made to his old home In Kansas, accompanied by Mrs. Brewer. In Washington a Justice of the Supreme Court Is spoken of as “Mr. Justice,” and that is the title Mrs. Brewer always has heard. When they reached Chicago, however, the “Mr.” was dropped and the Jurist was referred to as “Justice Brewer." At Omaha some old friends called him “David J.,” and when they crossed the Kansas line some former neighbors referred to him as -“David.” “Let’s go home#” suggested Mrs. Brewer. “Why?" asked the Justice. “Because, dear,” Mrs. Brewer replied, "I am afraid If we go any further they will be calling you ’Davie.’ ” —Cleveland Leader,
