committee on enrolled bills, Of which
Representative Hager Of Iowa is chair
man. Mr.. Kinds, the clerk to the speak
er's desk, hands up the pile of parch-
ment, and the speaker carefully looks
over each. Taking them down one by
one, he writes his name slowly and care
fully. 1t does not appear as L. b. Reed,
but as Thomas b. Reed.
The ink is dipped from a bottle that
sits within Silver tray, which has
come down from the time when Henry
Clay was speaker of the house Of repre-
sentatives. Then the signature is care
fully blotted, the precious parchment is
carried to the senate and eventually
finds its way to the state department,
where it is stored among the archives.
