In the recent national convention
of BARRIERS at Buffalo the question of
substituting some other sign for the
red-and-white striped barber pole was
discussed. and it has been engaging
the attention of gentlemen of the tom
serial profession ever since. 1t is said
that in early times BARRIERS served the
public in the capacity of surgeons also.
and that the pole symbolic ed the arm
wound with ribbon previous to the
letting of blood. 1t was George IL of
England who Gecreed that henceforth
the trade of the barber should be
foreign to and independent of the
practice of surgery. Despite the
fact that the striped pole is the symbol
of blood-lctiing, it seems to be the opin-
ion of conservative BARRIERS generally
that no other sign would be SO effect
i've.

HIS FIRST GRIZZLY.
A Newspaper Humorists Encounter With
Mighty Smart Bear.


Mighty Smart Bear.
TWAS this way:
We had been out from camp-Jim
and for three days. and the whisky
was getting low. We had first emp
tied both our TASKS into the coffee
pot, pooling our remaining stock.
and were going to make an even di-
vide, when the bear came in.
He had not been invited, nor did he
knock as he came in. He just came
strolling out of the brush, in Il listless
distsngue way. up to the camp fire.
We rose of course. 1t is the inva-
riable custom in the mountains, when
bear joins a party unexpectedly, for
the members of the party to rise. II
the bear is small one. 1t is not co n
sidered nee ,ssary to rise higher than
the lowest branches-some seven or
eight feet; but, on the approach of a
grizzly or large cinnamon, it is Gus
tomary to rise five or six feet higher.
Social etiquette is very strict on these
points
This was grizzly; so we did not
STAY even 10 look for our guns; but
rose at once about twenty feet
He hardly acknowledged our cour-
tesy-just the dearest recognition
and then proc eeded to take an inven-
tory of our outfit 1t was not long be-
fore he struck the whisky. Then he
sat down to make a night of it.

from his tree to mine: Il poured my
whisky into the pot first, didn't II"

A Cure for Diphtheria.

We vouch for the efficiency of the
following remedy for diphtheria: A
few years ago, when this dreaded dis
ease was raging in England. q very
simple and rapid remedy for it was
discovered by the cele brated DR..
Field H. put a teaspoonful of
flour of sulphur into a wineglass of
water and stirred it with his finger
instead of spoon, as the sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the sulphur was well
mixed he gave it as a garSle. and in
ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Birthstone kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant
in few minutes. Instead
Of splitting the gargle out, he
recommended the swallowing
of it, In extreme cases. to which he
had been called just in the nick Of
time. when the fungus was too near
closing to allow gargling. he blew the
dry sulphur through q quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, then he re-
snmed the gargling, and he never lost
a patient from diphtheria- Cape IoUn

d POsT-OFFICE ROBBERY.
How the Thieves Managed to Get
Into the Safe.

4 post-oifice inspector says:--I went
up into Minnesota to investigate rob
berry. The postmaster was D well-to-do
German merchant, whose greatest ambi-
ton is to be postmaster He has son,
Mick, a round faced little boy, who was
all smiles and smartness. When the
postmaster received his commission he
called Nick to one side confidentially:
Nick, am der postmaster; you are der
assistant postmaster Der government

righd aboud it, / must go down to 5t.

went and bought q new safe that cosJ
1926. They got it in place, put all the
stamps and other government property
into it, and two weeks later burglars en-
tered the building Hrid tire safe YVES
opened and robbed. When / got on the
ground the postmaster first wanted to
read his political speeches IN the last
campaign and tell me how much he
thought of the administration, but we
got to business finally. He showed me
how the burglars got into the building
quite an easy trick-and then showed
the safe 'Und desc doors was open just
as dey are nowr he said | looked over
the safe; it was brand new-not mark
of violence on it anywhere, nor locks dis
turbed. I told the postmaster Nick
must have forgotten to lock it the night
of the burglary. This brought Nick to
his feet in paroxysm. All at once
something caught my eye on the wall.
1t was: Turn to the right three tim es,
stop at 81; to the left twice, stopping OF
81; to the right once to 84-open.
"'What is that3' / asked.
"'Ohl dot is der combination. You
see, when / get this new safe in they
sent card up from St. Paul with that
on, but forget him, and Nick he lose
him, so just write dot up on der wall
where we can see him.
"'And you can't imagine how the
thieves got into your safe?'

two months'
Don't you think the thieves might
have found the combination on the
wall p
"a great light seemed to break in
upon the honest German postmaster.
He opened his eyes wide, looked again
at the safe and the combination on the
wall, and then, with big sigh, remark
ed: well, now, maybe dot was So.

Rats in China.

A plague Of rats is reported in China,
which recalls the German legend of the
rats of Hamelin Certain postal routes
have had to be changed in Outer Mongo-
liza on account Of the honey combing of
the whole country by myfiads of rats,
who have burrowed and eaten up the
pasturage so extensively that the supply
Of food for camels and horses is greatly
diminished, and the burrows are danger
Gus to all mounted travellers and couriers.
The prize offered by the Australian Gov
eminent for a radiance of the rabbits
which infest that country may afford a
suggestion to the authorities in China to
offer inducements which NJ Pasteur or
some unknown Wilmington may find
advantageous enough to undertake the
task of ridding the country Of these
yermin.
