the old sounding board could only talk
and tell the stories of the. particular
scenes and incidents which brought
about its destruction, it could deliver
entertaining lectures for all future
times. The visitor, however, can only
gaze on the wreck and ruin of the
sounding board and con- njecture for him
self concerning the scenes and incl
dents which resulted in this manner.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, Mr.. Bynum,
OF Indiana, Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, and
Others who personally as well as polit-
ically dislilsed Speaker Reed, were con-
stantly annoying him and requiring
him to call the house to order and
hammer upon that board. Upon one
occasion Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, came
down the aisle protesting against hav-
ing his name counted rs present and
not voting" Mr. Reed brought down
his gavel heavily and inquired: "Does
the gentleman from Missouri mean to
state that he is not present?" That
ludicrous scene will account for at
least one heavy blow which the old
sounding board received.
One of the employees says that tho

house of representatives, the sounding
board in front of him gives evidence of
pretty rough usage
Near the sounding board which wa
used by Speaker Crisp are the rem
nants of the two sounding boards
which were used by Speaker Reed dur
ing the turbulent times of the Fifty
first congress. The top of the desk
which was used by mir. Reed during
the first session of the Fifty-frst CON
gress, at the timo when he was estab-
fishing the precedent of a present
quorum" looks as though it had been
in cyclone without guardian. 1t is
eaten away for a distance of nearly
three feet in length, and more than a
foot ir width. That space which came
under the weight of his right hand
anI q heavy gavel is fairly crushed.
Tho last night of the first session was
IN exciting one, and Speaker Reed, who
had already been thinning the wood
by constant hammering, struck one
mighty blow, which carried the gavel
elear through the board. 1t looks like

A clerk, who was Oscars chum, had
been i'll long time, and, rs they were
friends in their poverty, Oscar had
tended him devotedly, and this, in ad-
dition to his clerical duties, had nearly
Frustrated him. BY some fortunate
discovery the chum had turned out to
be nephew to Oscars rich employer,
and he, to show his gratitude, sent him
off to recupcrate, with promise OF
promotion when he returned.
Oscar found the woods and fields
charming, and Faith Carson he pro-
nounced more than charming-angelic
was the word most frequently In his
thought But Mr.. Carson guarded
Faith very jealousy and suspiciously,
and when he wasn't guarding her, her
mother was, which was all perfectly
right and proper, only it didn't give the
lovers half n chance to be comfortable
All know what becomes of girls who
are cautioned against falling in love
with particular somcbodies; they gem
orally go straight off and do it. And
Faith was no exception to the rule
Although Oscar did not find opportuni-
ty to tell his love-" yet it did not seem
to prey upon his cheek" for it grew
plumpcr, frcsher and browner every
day. Never chance could he get to
sec Faith alone.
The day approached when he must
leave. He had written n note to Faith,
pouring out his love in it, and asked
her If he might come to claim her as
his wife the next New Years day-tor
her to send him just one word after he
was gone if he might"
After it was written the foolish boy
didn't know what to do with it. He
could not even get chance to put it in
| her hand, and as for sending it to the
village post Office, that plan would new
er do, rs Mr.. Carson would be sure to
get the letter first.
AT last strange DIT of fortune fa-
vored him. He was passing through
the kitchen and Mrs. Carson, who was
particularly good-natured that day, was
showing him some of the old-fashioned
belongings of the old house.
Among other things she opened the
door of the old-fashioned brick oven,
long since relcgated to the past in
favor of a range" It's capacious
mouth looked large enough to swallow
almost anything, and as she turned
away to make remark about some
thing else Oscar quickly slipped his let
ter inside and shut the door hurriedly.
with bang which must have made the
ashes fly inside,
In his excitement he forgot that the
oven had not been opened for several
years. and probably would not be
opened for years again. AS he passed
out he glanced mystcriously from Faith
to the oven door, look which she
failed to interpret, as she did not hap
pen to see him place the letter there.

passed and no word came from Oscar to
cheer Faith.
He has forgotten me-" she sighed
softly, but she remembered at part.
ing he had whispered: New
Years" Would he come then? The
day came and ended and he did not
come. Then he did not mean that"
and she reproved herself for thinking
so.
All this time Mr.. Carsou's mind was
partly on his potato crop failure and
partly on Oscar.
Its kinder strange we hain't heerd
from him or of him sence he went
away" said Mr.. Carson, taking iG for
granted that Faith would know him"
meant Oscar, and forgetting that he
had emphatically declared "there
should be no letter writing or any sich
nonsense"
"Arter all, he appeared to enjoy old
fashioned things. member how
curious he looked into the old brick
oven"
Faith remembered it, too. Soon after
ward Mr. Carson left the room. With
curiosity born of sentimentality she
felt as if she wanted to look into the
old oven. She walked leisurely to-
ward it and opened the rusty. creaking
door. There was The fateful missive.
She took up the letter mechanically,
wondering what it could be. 1t was
addressed to herself and staled. In her
excitement she closed the door with
bang Which startled Mr.. Carson, who
was reentering the room.
Faiths face was white and she was
breathing hard and fast. She felt as
IL she held a message from tho dead.
What have you got there, Faithq"
he asked.
II don't know, father. just looked
in the oven, as Oscar did, and / found

Mr.. Carson approached her and looked

cles.

don't always get it"
"Of course we can't materially cx-

s"Earmer Carson emphasized the
word work" Work, according to his
Tnind, meant labor among fields and
vegetation.
