REED DIDN'T WANT 1T.
Story of n Revolver and Stormy
Scene In ConSress


when Mr.. Reed was making the
parliamentary fight which resulted in
the adoption of the Reed rules for
counting a quorum in the Fifty-firs [
congress-" said veteran representa-
tive, the violence of debate was great
er than at any time since reconstruct
ton days. Toward the close of the
struggle General Joe Wheeler of Ala
bama had mounted lis desk and was
making remarks which members Of
both sides thought might end in yio-
lence.
Several Of his collea CUES We're
standing near by, angry, flushed. under
their breath declaring that it was time
to pull the speaker out Of the chair
Mr.. Reeds partisans were just as hot
and crowded to the well to be ready if
any muscle were needed. Confusion
reigned in the entire body.
Right in the thick Of it Representa-
tive Martin of Texas made his way to
the steps leading to the speakers seat
and, lifting his cOattaiis. showed TO Mr..
Reed the butt end Of a revolver pro-
truding from hip pocket.
DO you want it" asked Martin.
".Just then the little orator from Ala
bama. with clinched fist, shouted at
Mr.. Reed: Your ruling is the most
damnable ever made in your chair. 1t
is nothing short Of revolution. 1t ought
to bury you SO deep that Gabriers
trumpet won't waken you.
MIR. Reed leaned over thea and re-
piled to Martin. with his usual drawl:
No, not yet. The gentleman has sim
ply risen to a question of order and is
now stating it.

If Bradley Evans had not been so
deeply in love, he would certainly have
been angry.
The curtain had just fallen on the
Thanksgiving matinee. and the stage
hands were already clearing the stage
for the feast which Manager Evans
had ordered for his company. That
astute gentleman had personally SUI
perintended the preparations and ar
ranged every detail.
The stage was to be set with a duh
oak interior, ablaze with electricity
overhead. in the flies and at the foot
lights. with the front of the house IN
darkness to heighten the brilliancy OF
the improved dining room. Cor
geous chrySanthemums lie had ordered
from New York for the centerpiece,
aud the menu was the very best that
the leading caterer of the small New
England city could furnish.
Evans had Just stepped into the lead,
ing mans dressing room for the as
surance that his personal appearance
was in keeping with the festal occa.
sion before presenting himself to the
Young woman in whose honor the DIN
ner was being given, Miss Ella RAN
som. He had meant to be careful a.
TO speech before that dinner. and after
ward, when the company was trying
to anIuSe itself until the evening per.
formance and to forget the folks
gathered round home trcsidcs, he
would have little chat with her alone
In her dressing room and put the mo-
mentous question. Surely this Little
act of thoughtfulness would pave the
way. He knew in general way that
she was New England girl and that
Thanksgiving day was 10 such as she
the all important festival. The thCat-
rical instinct in Evans was so strong
that even his own love story had to lie
worked up to the proper climax. EUt
Miss Ransom with true wOmanly con
trariety set all his fine plans at naCGi!t.

little speeches which Evans had been
coming for hours failed him at this
critical moment. He forgot the flower

tors who by this time must be hurry

scene Of the festivities. He knew only
that Ella was in trouble and-he loved

Natural Fountain Pen.

'All woodsmen know" says Paul
Martin In La Vie Scientifique. that
pine needles grow In pairs In the same
sheath and that when placed side by
side the sharp pointed ends are exact
~ opposite. Fasten these two needles
together by thread quite near the
pointed end. and you will have a pen
with two sharp nibs, ready to write
whatever you please. AS Il penholder
insert the pen into a hollow twig. let
ting the points stick out about a cent?
meter (half inch). Dip your pen into an
inkstand, letting it remain FIR Il short
time in the ink. The ink will rise by
capillarity in the tube formed by the
junction of the two needles and will
form reserve Of liquid sufficient for
the writing of twenty lines The pen is
fine, simple and antirusting.'

Setting Moody Right.

Among the stories treasured by the
people OF New YOrk's east side is one
about Dwight L. Moody, who once
conducted revival meeting at the AL
len Street Methodist church. At the
close of an unusually eloquent talk
Moody said to his audience. Nov,
how many persons here are Christ
tianS!'
Instantly there was a mighty stir.
and every man. woman and child in
the crowded house stood upright.
Moody was visibly impressed and said
in tones Of greatest satisfaction, "In
all my thirty-fve years experience !
have never seen such showing"
At the close of the meeting the pas
tor of the church took Moody aside
and said: Il - say, Mr. Moody, you
don't want to be too pleased over that
showing. Down here there are only
Jews and Christians. and the people
wanted you to understand there
wasn't a Jew among them = New
York Tribune.

Radio Active Substances.

Different solid bodies-copper, plati-
mum, lead. glass, wax. paper. etc.-be-
come radio active when they are placed
in q closed vessel along with one of the
radio active salts Of barium or. still
better, immersed in a solution Of such
a salt. The induced radiation is of the
same character as that of the original
salt-its rays are deyiated in the mag
netic field. If a tube containing a gas
under low pressure has current of
electricity passed through it, the gas
becomes luminous when the pressure is
low enough, as is we'll known. Air at
33 millimeters pressure becomes lu-
minOus when SO treated, for example.
When a radio active substance is held
near to such a tube, the luminosity be-
gins at higher pressure. which for
air is A millimeters. The color Of the
light varies in the two cases.

A Tireless Omcial.

A good story is told of Mr.. Ham
mond. former chief clerk of the British
foreign office. One day when he was

er several fatiguing Journeys was in

There was something genuine and wo-

How Clouds Get Their FrfnEes

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences, with the aid of n
brilliant experiment, that the blue col
or of the sky is owing to floating par
ticles of invisible dust that break up
and scatter the short waves, which are
the blue waves, of light. This, as a
writer in knowledge shows, occurs
principally at a great elevation, where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine
while in the lower regions of the air
where the dust is coarser, the scatter
ing affects all the rays. or cOlors. alike.
The brilliant fringeS of clouds. seen
nearly in the direction Of the sun, are
largely due to dust. which especially
accumulates in the nefghborhood of
clouds and refracts the sunlight around
their edges.
