TOM REED WAS DECEIVED

A number of years ago the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed told one of his early
law cases.
A neighbor's boy was arrested for
stealing tray of gold watches, and in
court pleaded not guilty. The only
witness for the prosecution was the
jeweler who lost the watches. His
story was that on the afternoon on
which the watches were stolen he was
fixing up his show window and had
removed from it the goods, the tray
of watches among them, to the cOun-
ter near the door. While doing this
and busting out the window, he testi-
fed, the boy stood on the sidewalk
watching him through the window. AS
it was dusk, he went into rear room
for a match, and when he came back
the boy and about a dozen gold
watches were gone. He jumped
through the open door, but could see
no one on the street.

MA .NNER OF HOLDING GLASS

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded as
an effectation Of gentility, as found in
the manLer of holding drinking glass
when drinking from it, is not an af-
fectation at all, but really an uncon-
sciOus, automatic act
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fingers
of the hand clear of the glass when it
is lifted and tipped forward with its
brim to the lips and while the glass
Is held there in the act of drinking.
No doubt it would commonly be con-
sidered that people do this for the
sake of greater elegance, or at least
from an instructive desire to give to
the hand such an appearance, which it
would not possess if they closed the
entire hand around the glass-if they
clutched it, so to speak. manner OF
holding that would seem to SAVIOR of
rudeness.
But this observer says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. If.
he says, person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
ly around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass so held re-

OLD EGyPTS GOLD MINES

Prof. r. D. George of the University
of Colorado suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part Of their
gold from the old workings near Cop
tos, latitude &c degrees north, and
from the mountains some distance to
the south. The mountains to the south
of Coptos are probably the mines for
which the kings of the twelfth dynasty
sacrificed the lives Of many thousand
men; for the rule of Egyptian kings
who wanted gold was to invade Nubia
and take possession Of the mines, just
as when they wanted copper they
drove back the nomadic tribes of ST.
mai and built fortresses to protect their
miners. The Nubian gold workings of
which Prof. George speaks are placed
in an almost inaccessible mountain
group surrounded on all sides by a
waterless desert. Here may be seen
tunnels and shafts penetrating the
mountains to almost unknown depths.

qured more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fingers
would then be called into use. Where
as if the person drinking holds the
glass between the thumb and the first
two fingers he not only relieves the
tension on the muscles of the two
other fingers, but also in a way he
pivots the glass and makes it easier
to tip on that account. Thus the sep
aration of the two fingers from the
glass is a perfectly natural act,
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adorning them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
of curves of greater grace and SO he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas.
ure, but his point is that in it's original
inception and in the practice by the
many the elevation of these two fin.
gers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic.

HAD HEART PAINS
A Critical Case Of rheumatism Cured
BY Dr.WiIIiams' Pink Pills.

While Mr.. w. S. Gesel, of No. 1875
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo, was
steadily working at his trade in fonn-
dry at that place, he became the victim
of an attack of rheumatism, and his ex-
perience is that of thousands who are
compelled to work in similar surround
ings. He describes his situation as fol-
lows:

in a foundry where l was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
Gnd to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally could not walk
without great difficulty aud suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble and l grew very pale
and weak. began to have pains about

dition. My mother knew about the vir.
tues Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. as thev
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu-
matlsm too, she began to give them to
me about month after I was attacked.
Ahtto was III the early part or March,
1903, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then l felt
strong enough to take up line of out
door work and now, in October, / re-
gard myself as entirely we'll and am
about to go into foundry again at St.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills also cure
other diseases springing from i'm

paralysis and all forms of weakness in
male or female. They may be had az

In the decade OF 1S4O-50 Col. w. A.
Bryant was young attorney in Barre,
Mass, and also editor of the Barre
Gazette and an ardent Democrat, the
leading parties in the country then
being Wings and Democrats
In the campaign OF the fall OF 1S41
Col. Bryant was to make an address
in Hubbardston and drove over dur
ing the afternoon, the distance being
about eight miles. In the course OF
his TRADE against the Wings he said:
"Their case is lost, and they will get
lost themselves If they stay out after
dark"
After a rousing meeting he started
home, and as it was dark, with no
moon and the sky cloudy he got OF
the road. Noticing light in farm

Three hundred stone huts shelter
800 mills used in pulverizing the ore;
immense ciSterns once caught the
scanty water supply from the upper
slopes; and near them stand the slop-
ing tables on which pulverized ore was
washed. Records show that these
mines were worked with little inter
ruption for twenty centuries by the
Egyptians, and there is no means of
knowing how long they were worked
by the Nubians before them.
In the inscriptions of the New EN-.
pire various kinds or grades of gold
are mentioned; and in one of the Tell

The boy took the witness stand, and
testified that on the day Of the theft
he and some other boys went to Cape
Elizabeth about l o'clock and did not
return until about 9 o'clock that night
His testimony was corroborated by
the other boys and by his father.
Mr.. Reed said he had made many
arguments in court, but believed he
had never beaten the one he made
then, for he believed in the innocence
of the boy, and put his whole soul into
it. The prosecuting officer made no
argument, and the judge discharged
the boy who at once left the room.
Mr. Reed soon went out, and the
boy met him and said: "You did well,
Tom but l can't pay you until / can

Scrivner is a man of great energy
and dispatch, whose hours are so filled
with activities that he has formed
habit of quick and sometimes inju-
dicious speed. not for many years
has he had time to think twice before
speaking. and however generous his
impulses and correct his life, he does
now and then fume and splurge into
vexatious rredicaments. 1t was just
in this fashion and meaning no harm
at all that he encountered situation
last week that well nigh undid him for
time.
Scrivner rushed into a telephone
booth at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and
gave the number of a friends tele-
phone up town. 1t was a matter of
business as well as friendship, and
Scrivner had only ten minues before
he must rush away to an appointment
in Forty-second street. The conversa-
tion at his end of the wire went like
this:
Hello, Bill. That your" he said in
his loud and tumbling speech. That's

booth, leaned out and called to the

he was. For one brief, trying mo-
ment, Scrivner tried persuasion.
''Say, old mac," he said, I'm in an

Whose wire is thus, anyhow"

sang out the voice. you talk too
much"
That was incendiary, and Scrivner
didn't think at all before he spoke.
"I'll give you a box Of cigars!" he
shouted, "a good box of cigars if you'll
give ME your name and address so I
can come around and smash your fool
facet"
"Sure!" came the quick response, in
confident, almost eager tones. I'm
always glad to accommodate a gentle
man. My names Kid Mccoy, and
live at the Hotel Cumberland"
Silence fell in Scrivner's booth. He
dropped the receiver, leaned back in
his chair, and gasped for breath. He
sat a full minute there in a sort OF
trance, then opened the door and
walked out, dazed and perspiring. A
page overlook him at the door of the
writing room.
Thirty cents, please" said the boy.
Scrivner paid, and took to the street
to cool off. Up to yesterday Mr.. NC
Coy was still smoking his own cigars.

Washington. June 14.-After eliminating the appropriation of s10O,0 GOO for the further gauging the water of the United States under the direction of the geological sur vey the House today grew weary of economy and increased the appropriations for further tests of structural materials. lignites and other coals. although the appropriations committee labored zealous- ly to retain the appropriations at the orig inal figure if they could not defeat the item entirely. A dramatic scene occurred during the adoption of the conference re- port on statehood in which the speaker was the chief participant. and in which he took exception to what he interpreted as insinuations by Delegate Smith of Ari- zona that undue influence had been used to affect his position on the statehood question.
 The conference report on the omnibus lighthouse bill was adopted.
 The report of the conferees of the agri- cultural appropriation bill was submitted and at 5:20 the House adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow.
