Justice Brewer came to the supreme
court of the United States from the
federal court In Kansas. He was the
second oldest member of the cou"t
Justice Hat Ian only being his senior.
He was regarded as the most Demo-
cratic of all the members of the court
most affable approachable and ac-
commodating:. He was the one man
on the touch who had proof copies
of his opinions prepared for the news-
papers and this he did consistently.
Was Born In Aia Minor
Kansas City Mo. March :".i Jus-
tice David Joslah Brewer was born In
Smyrna Asia Minor when his father
was a missionary among the Greeks
on June 2d 1887. His father was the

tice Stephen J. Field.

tered Yale and was graduated from
there in 1856 From college he wenl
to Albany and entered a law school
being graduated in 1858. Having fin
(shod school the young man was of

Gets Wrk At Last
Luckily at voting Rrewe-'s board
ing house there was a young woman 1
whose sweetheart was a United
States judge. He heard of the young
man's struggles and in a few hours
found li i in a position as a Unltei
States commissioner at $r a day when
there was work to do. There was
not pouch work for a commissioner
in those days hut enough to tide him
over until work came.
Prosperity dawned on the commis-
sioner In 1st!- In the form of an eMH!
tion to the judgeship of the probata
and criminal court in Leavenworth
county. He held this position until
1865 when he was elected district
Judge.
At the time of his election Brewer
was but 28 years old. His court was
: located in Wyandotte Kan. Courts
i were not as orderly then as they are
j now and. It has been said there -was;
not any too great amount of respect
; shown for the beardless barrister.
1 An Old Anecdote j
In later years Justice Brewer used
to tell with great glee of his experi-
ence with a jury of fanners when he;
rirst began to preside on the district
bench. He left a case in the hands
of twelve nual inhabitants one nigh'
; and went home announcing that ire
.would return at ft o'clock In the men-
tug and receive the verdict if !
I had been reached.
