Jefferson City, June 10.—When the Missouri supreme court meets next October in the new $385,000 court building here forthe regularfall term of court, the seven judges will be at- tired in gowns.

It is doubtfal if Missouri, 1 1 said, will be the first of the Western states, except Call- fornia, to adopt this old custom of the bench. TheSupreme Court judges of the United States have always so attired themselves, and the practice also exists in some of the Eastern states, notably in New York where for many years the supreme judges have been clad in long robes of black. This innovation in the Missouri su- preme court costume will be pleasing to the lawyers generally as the state bar association recently adopted resolutions suggesting the old official garb for the supreme court justices.

Louis. Brindle Dog to Roosevelt. Washington, June 10.—I¢ can be said authoritatively that the presi- dent wishes, in case any of his fellow- citizens contemplate seuding him an elephant, that they first inquire whether the elephant would be ac- ceptable. This figurative language {semployed apropos of the arrival at the White House of a brindle dog from Celina, Ohio. The sender of the dog first wrote a letter to the preal- dent, saying that he intended toship the animal to him by express, but before the president could politely decline the gift the dog was on the way to Washington. The White House authorities hope that no more dogs will be sent to the president, “Pete,” the White House bull terrier, who has been in a canine hospitalfor the last fortnight as a result of an accounter with another bull terrier, was returned looking fit for another scrap. He did not see the brindle from Celina, as that animal is being taken care of by a White House em- ploye whose home is in another part of the city.
