HE STAGGERED REED.

Congressman Cousins of Iowa was
Tie late Speaker Reeds close friend
for years, though one of their first
interviews was productive of some
embarrassment to the big man from
Maine. He was then an aspirant
for presidential nomination, and the
western man stood much in awe of
him. One day Cousins joined a
group of which Reed was the center.
The Iowan has a nervous habit Of
scratching the back of his left hand
with the fingers of his right. OBJ
serving this, Mr. Reed called out to
him. "Did you ever have the itch,
Young man." Inspired by despera-
ton. the embarrassed young Hawk
eve man shot this reply at the inn
perious Reed, "Tve never had the
presidential itch" Reeds full moon
face turned crimson, but next day
he had a long talk with the man
from the west. From that time un-
iii Reeds death the two were the
closest friends. - Cleveland Plair

The seal Ring.

The seal ring is known to be the old
est style OF ring. II dates back to the
days OF the Old Testament and prod
ucts OF the glypdc art, as gem engrav'
ing was called, were known IN the
most remote times. In Exodus xviii,
1920, mention Is made OF the following
stones. upon which the names of the
twelve children Of Israel were en-.
graved: The sardius, the topaz, the car.
buncle. the emerald, the sapphire, the
diamond, the figure, the agate, the
amethyst, beryl, onyx and jasper. In
verse ? OF the same. chapter we find
mention OF the engraving OF signetz
upon the hardest stones. IL Is believed
that the Egyptians instructed the Is.
raelites in the art OF stone engraving
The Egyptians used the lapidary's
wheel and emery powder and knew-th'
use Of the diamond in engraving Other
hard stones. Among the Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins were found fine spec
linens of signets on gems, many Of
them set in rings.

A scheme That Failed.

Bristling with ambition, a young
physician who has a limited practice
recently thought OF a scheme he felt
would be a money maker for him. His
idea was to fool his neighbors into the
belief that he was overrun with bust
ness. This he attempted to do by in
ducing all the charity patients he treat
ed at the dispensary with which he is
connected to come TO his Office, telling
them Il would be a convenience fol
him and that it would cost them moth
ing. But the result was not all he an
ticipated. While his Office was al
ways crowded. the number Of his pay
ing patients did not increase, and al
the end Of the month he had made a
visible impression on but one person
His landlady raised his rent, because
she was sure he had acquired an ex
tensive and prosperous practice.-Chi
