ter IngIOriously Retreated.
A tragedy was almost perpetrated last
evening on Robert street. near Fifth,
the result of domestic infelicities. A
well-known young business man, who
moves in the best society, was walking
along Robert street with lady, who,
only some month ago, was married to
a gentleman prominent in railroad
circles. The young people seemed very
happy as they walked along chattering
and laughing. But Nemesis was on
their track in the shape of the lady's
husband, who had been informed that
his wife was receiving the attentions
of another man. On the corner of
Fifth street the erring wife and her
beau were met by the husband
who was accompanied by private de-
teetive. The young man at once re-
leased his arm, which was held by the
lady, and took to bis heels. The nus
band gave vent to his feelings and
lectured his wife in the presence of
crowd of persons. Then suddenly leav-
ing her. he darted up the street for
his wife'S admirer carrying his
right hand upon his hip pocket where
there rested 32-caliber revolver. For
tunately the young fellow had sense
enough to get out of the neighborhood
as quickly as possible aud jumped upon
a street ear which was coming down the
street. This was not observed by
the husband who, after running
for two blocks, gave up the
chase and returned TO where his Young
wife was sobbing bitterly. He caught
her by the arm and the pair hurried to
Fourth street and boarded an uptown
cable car. The indiscretion of the
young wife has been common gossip
among her friends, one of whom brought
the manner 10 her husbands ears. The
result now will be that she Will go to
the theaters and for drives on the ave-
nue. accompanied by her liege lord and
master, who threatened last evening
that "when he met that Internal little
puppy he would put him in a condition
that he would be unable to walk for

The Human Form.

The ancient Greeks, we are told, made
al their statues representing human fig
Ures by the measurements here given:
FROM the crown TO the nape of the neck is
one-twelfth the stature of perfectly formed
man. The hand, from the wrist to the end
Of the middle finger, IS one-tenth of the
total height. a man Of good proportion is
tall a the distance between the tips of
his fingers When both arms are extended
u full length.
The face, from the highest point of the
forehead, where the hair begins, to the end
o the chin, Is one-tenth of the whole
stature If the face, from the roots of the
hair TO the chin, be divided into three equal
parts, the first division determines the
place where the eyebrows should meet, the
second the opening of the nostrils The
proportions OF the human figure are six
times the length of the right foot Wheth-
er the form i slender or plump. the rule
holds good, on an average. Any deviation
from the rule * a departure from the beau
y Of proportion.

The BARRIERS Pole.

Inter Ocean has the following to say on
the origin OF the BARRIERS pole: In medieval
times BARRIERS served the public also in the
capacity Of surgeons, and especially per
formed the act of bleeding. In this opera
ton staff was held by the person beinc.
bied. and fiilets or bands were of course
necessary for binding the arm after bleed
ing When the staff was not in use the
fiilet was tied on II, that both might be
ready for use when wanted. and it was Gus
tomary for BARRIERS TO hang the two to-
gether at their doors for a sign where the
very necessary surgeon could be found
At length, instead Of hanging out the
staff used in the operation, pole was
painted with stripes in imitation of the
staff and bandage, and thus used as a
sign. Il Is said that there was an ancient
statute decreeing that BARRIERS, when they
pursued 10 other trade, were to use a blue
and white pole, striped, but that when they
also followed the profession of surgeon
hey must use red stripe also. The last
barber surgeon Of London IS said to have
died there in 1921.

Mckinlex,s Rednced Dutiea.

The Mckinleyites have cheap trick
Of counting up the NUN Der Of duties re-
duced IN the Mckinley tariff law, ana
then claiming triumphantly that this
law gives larger measure of free trade
than the country ever had before" But
they overlook the fact that the reduction
Of a duty where there are practically no
imports signifies nothing. On this point
ex-Consul Schoenhof. in writing Of bic
kinley's chemical schedule, says:
We find such articles as blue vitriol
or sulphate of copper, of which the
importations during 1889 amounted TO
$3.50, reduced from cents 70 ? cents per
pound. or from 60 to 40 per cent. We find
refined camphor, Of which the import
atoms amounted TO 1880, reduced from
D cents to 4 cents per pound, or from 81
per cent. TO % per cent. ad valorem;
chloroform, of which we imported 1925,
reduced from 50 cents 10 40 cents per
pound. or from 4S per cent. to So Per cent.
ad valorem; iodine, import value s12,
reduced from 40 cents to 80 cents per
pound; iodoform, import value 500, re-
duced from 81 to $50 per pound. or from
IS per cent. to 43 per cent.
''In this way the reductions run along.
Near the end of the list we find so i'm
portant manufacture as santonine, and
all salts thereof containing 50 per cent.
and over of santonine, $3.50 per pound,
while the former duty was s. per pound
This is reduction of 80 cents per

PUBLIC HOUSE SIGNS.
A Few of the Many Amusing Signs to

A Few of the Many Amusing Signs to

"Schoolmaster. As TO numbers, we come
across Two Dutchmen,' Three Legs, -
-Four Ashes, ""Five Ais, ''''Six Ringers. y
Seven Stars a Twelve O'clock" and

The New Inn appears a great many
times. The "New Dusty Miller" also turns
up, but an "Old Inn'' we have not met
with. "Old Barrels" we have encoun-
tered, "Old Hats "Our Old Crown" and
the odd Cock" What "Old Number One"
means we leave our young readers to i'm
agine, but an odd Mower" we can all
picture to ourselves, also an "Oid Moor
cock and an odd White Horse" An
odd Red Pump we should take to be a
temperance hotel. The Brave Old Oak"
surely goes 70 the hearts of all, and so does
The Old House at Home" and not less
The Warm Hearthstone"
The prettiest of all the signs we have
noticed is, perhaps, The Bunch of Roses. .
Child better, or The Babes in the Wood. -

You can sip your ale under the Shakes

are inclined for fun there are the Jolly
Sailors" II very ancient mariner there
Is the ''Noah's Ark at your service, or the

The sporting tastes of England come out
strongly in the inn signs, especially, per.
haps, in the West Riding of Yorkshire,
where there are "Racehorses, " ''Hares and
Hounds Horses and Grooms,'' Grey
hounds, Dogs and Guns, The Saddle. :.
The Mare and Foal,n and such like in
abundance. The clergyman can enter the
''Mitre, " the Church Steps, or the Lamb
and Flag Colors play a great part in the
signs of these inns. White is the favorite;
white barts, white horses, white swans
yea, even white lions abound. Black stands
next in the race; then come red. aud bav.
blue, gray, brown, green and yellow. The
browns are all cows but one. and the vel
lows are all lions. The bull i often black.
but he Is never white, nor blue, nor green,
nor yellow; but he Is fond of allying him
self with other people, and he sometimes is
IN partnership with a bell, or a dog. a
mouth, or a sun.

they say, story attached TO II which Is OF
some interest. When Anna Boleyn was
put 10 death by her husband, Henry VIII,

The Record for MAY,

ST. LOUIS Republic: In endeavoring
to excuse the fact that during the month
of May the Harrison administration in
creased the public debt 1923. 900 end ere
sted deficit of $500. 600 an administra.
tion organ, whether ignorantly or other
wise, makes the preposterous claim tina,
the contraction in the money circulation
which took place dnring the month is 10
the sdninistrstion's credit. 1, says:
According to the debt statements sent
from Washington 10 all the papers of the
country the public Indebtedness increased
about 1923 OOO in the month o f Nav. Ex-
animation OF the detailed statements,
however, reveals q reduction in the debt
of more than 81 200 900 in the month
This difference is due 10 the fact that the
former figures are based on the less
cash in the treasury" system of computa-
ton which has been employed for many
years in the monthly balance sheets OF
the financial end of the government, while
the latter show the actual changes IN the
debt. The Understanding debt of the
goverpment-tbst represented by the Al
and 4-per cent. bonds-wss cut down 10
the extent of s242 900 in the month .
This is the only part of the debt which is
any burden TO the country, and its reduc-
ton, even by this small figure, is an
evidence that the work of meeting the
public obligations hss not entirely ceased
There have also been cuts in the debt on
which interest has stopped owing 10 the
maturity of the bonds representing il.
and in the debt which has never borne
any interest, drop Of over So, 200 GOO
in the IS gregste"
The debt bearing no interest" here re-
ferred 10 is given in the treasury state
ment for May as "legal-tender notes. old
demand notes. national bank notes and
fractional currency" There is no COM
parison with the preceding month, nor is
there in the table of certificates and
notes issued on deposits Of gold and
silver and legsl-tender notes" Immediately
following. Both are punched" in the
totals of table of com parison of debt
with the preceding month"
This shows a decrease on bonded debt
of only S242 600, which, with the rest, is
offset by the very large increase in cur.
rent liabilities as compared with the cash
available to meet them. Excepting this,
the alleged decrease of debt of 81 ,462. =
600 is made up of a contraction of ST.
953 63S in the legal tender and other note
currency National bank notes redeemed
for May 81. COG. $50 and of $3.50. 4O7 in
the coin certificates.
Without doubt this is largely due to
the European demand for gold. resulting
in calls on the treasury to redeem in gold
for export its outstanding obligations of
paper notes. While technically 80 de-
crease of the non interest bearing debt
it is really contraction of the cur
reDcy.
The country is under obligations to the
Harrison organs for calling attention TO
this matter and so demonstrating that 10
addition TO the creation of deficit, and
to q considerable net increase of the total
debt, the administration record for May
includes the farther contraction of what
was already badly contracted cur
rency.
