Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 87, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 January 1920 — Real Diamond. [ARTICLE]

Real Diamond.

Sam, the chore man, returned from the city with a scarf pin that contained a “diamond” of no usual size. It was the pride of his heart, and the envy of his village companions. He treated all Inquiries from them as to its value and its authenticity with high scorn. '■ His employer, after a week of basking in its radiance, asked Sam about Its history. “Sam,” he said, “is it a real diamond?” • “Wall," said Sam, “if it ain’t I’ve been skun out of a half-dollar.”
