One OF the best known BARRIERS on the

cut down his expenses and before kissing
his wife and little ones good bye IN the
morning, told lis wife that in the future
ne would shine his own shoes. and thai
meant a saving Of Is cents week AND
that would pay the milk bin
He would walk 10 and from the shor
and this meant at least a dollar week
and this sum would clcthe the family
and perhaps a little more.
This was all that he would cut out
At one time. but told his better half that
n he made success of these good and
profitable intentions, new ones would be
added TO the list and no doubt that by
the middle % the summer he would be
40 stnsy that he would not even whis-
rer for fear that II would cost something.
Al any rate me barber left home and
snstsad OF going on Piainneld street so
as to be tempted by the cars. took the
side streets with the intentions or
dodging his old friends in the way. and
when he reached his shop. would shine
hts shoes. and give himself credit for 10
cents.
lie had not gone far when he ran into
an old time friend, who had an errand
10 do on Plainfield street. and the barber
was persuaded To accompany the friend.
When the errand had been done the
friend suggested that they step In
saloon and play just one game Of pool
mo SIR" said the barber, mo pool for
me today
There was pool for the barber just the
same. but Il was only just one, and that
was all that the friend would play.
In they went and the friend beat the
barber. and the barber then forgot his
good intentions, and played until he had
spent $40 and the friend s.. 10 and AT the
conclusion Of the sport the barber took
a car went TO boot polishing establish
fnent had his shoes shined. ana says tna'
in the future he viii not make any at
tempt at beng saving as u costs too
much
THEY WE'RE ALL POLES
At O'Clock this morning the peace and
ouietness Of Bennett court. which leads
from 1pornger's square was broken by
the shouts OF murder. police and like
words. and the calls were clean and loud.
The patroiman on the beat was not
long in reaching the scene. and there he
found Pole shouting for dear life.
The patrolman went into the house.
but found no one there save the shout
ing Pole. who said that a half dozen
of his victims had called upon him and
made an attempt TO murder him with a
carving knife.
In less than 30 minutes, no less than a
half dozen Poles were under arrest at
the station and more than 20 OF this race
we're at present at the station, some as
interpreters, some as Witnesses and etc.
AS near as LieutTayior could learn. the
fellow that claimed that he was assaulted
left his wife short time ago on McDon-
ough street. and because he would not re-
tire. her brothers and other relatives
were going TO do away with him, but as
the frightened Pole had no witnesses. no
one was held, but one Of the Poles who
was arrested on suspicion called at the
station this morning and was very in
dignant for being arrested. and was in
clined to be "Brash." but was told by the
officials. tina. perhaps he had better keep
quiet or else the police would put this
end of IL first.
