Writer and Reader.

A good and perhaps an old story comes from the Persian. A man went to a professional scribe, and asked him to write a letter. "I eanuot,” said the scribe. “I have a pain In my spot." "A pain In your foot? What has that to do with it? I dou't want to send you anywhere.” “No, sir,” said the man, “but whenever I write a letter for nny one, .1 am always sent for to read it, because no one else can make It out.”
