fhe President and his party on behalf of the city.
 Prssidsnt rafrs reply was brisf and to the point. He has. on previous oc- cAsIons. declared hfaiseff upon the waterways proposition. Today he re- peatNd his declarations. as the same time thanking Mayor Malone as the phis for the unlimited anu unboundsd welcome ringing with true Southern loyalty and hospitality which had been extended to him.
 By the time the President had con- cluded his remarks the other members of the party had taken their places in the long line of waiting automo- biles. As soon as the President was seated in his car. the parade was com. menced through the streets of the city. gaily decorated with bunting and thousands of people. who cheered the PreGdentiai car and its following CO., host at every turn of tho wheels.
 The Prasident and his escort left the main body of the automobile pro- cessfon at Fourth Street and Madison Avenue and proceeded to tho Young Mems Christian Association's new building. the dedication of which had been postpond for the President to 
 pleasure and feeling.
 After the dedication. President Taft was swiftly carried to the auditorium. where he was welcomed on behalf of the State of Tennessee by Governor R. Patterson
 President Taft. although his voice somewhat weak and hoarse, consumed the timc allotted him for his address.
 Immediately after he had concluded. he was hurried tosthe waiting automo- bile and the entire party was driven back to the wharf.
 Throngs of people again cheered the President and his party at every turn.
 At 1:30 o'clock the President and party left Memphis.
 The spectacle was e most inspiring one and adding to 1t was the Presi- dentiaf salute fired by n battery sta- tioned on the crowning point of his- torfc old Jackson Mound Park. said to be the very spot from where Hernando de Soto first stood and looked out over the big river.
 The gathering throngs stood on the wharf and bluffs until the Presidential feet passed under the Memphis bridge and rounded the great bend in the river at the foot of Presidents Island passing out of sight. thus marking e new epoch in the history or Memphis.

cellor of England, Thurlow-an early
friend Of the poet William Cowper-
made statement in the House Of Lords
regarding BARRIERS poles. At that time
BARRIERS were required to use a blue and
white striped pole, with no other APP
pendage; while surgeons were to use a
gallipOt and red flag.
It is believed that the lives Of many
distinguished Washington among
them-were shortened by the system of
blood letting.
Mineral Point has in AdOlph Appel a
true descendent Of the old time barber
physician. He learned the profession
in all its branches including 'cupping, ="
or blood letting, teeth extracting and
all, from his father the late George
Appel, who in turn had learned it from
his father and 50 on back for genera
tons. While to Adolph also descended
all the instruments Of the profession, he
is not now an active practitioner in all
Of the branches Of the ancient barber.

A Rhymed Task Master.

In the studio of an artist on Madi-
son avenue there is a sign that would
seem suited for almost any place
where there is work to do. Of course
it is exceptionally we'll adapted to the
needs Of dreaming artists. 1t reads:
Wheneer a task is put to you
Don't idly sit and view it
Nor be content and wish it done
Begin ct once and do it.
In this studio it was of course arts
tically printed and framed. Within
view of the motto every one was hard
at work, and the man who sat nearest
said it never gave him a moments
rest. He could not look at an unfin-
ished job without seeing or hearing
the jingle of the rhyme.-New York

The BARRIERS Pole.

Haven YOU often wondered what is
the meaning of the little pole that pro
jects from BARRIERS shops. with its
stripes of red and white? At one time
all kinds of stores had their special
emblems, few only of which remain
to us. The BARRIERS pole is one Of them
Long ago the barber was also the ply
stefan of the place. The sovereign cure
for all diseases was supposed to be
blood letting, and, as the barber had
already a sharp instrument in his razor,
it was easy for him to act as doctor
Formerly metal basin was suspended
from the pole, and is still so suspended
in many places. The basin served both
for lathering the soap in shaving and
for receiving the blood in blood letting,
An eighteenth century poet thus de
scribeS a BARRIERS shop front:
His pole with pewter basins hung,
Black. rotten teeth in order strung,
Raug'd cups that in the window stood,
Lined with red rags TO look like blood,
Did we'll his threefold trade explain
Who shaved. drew teeth, and breathed vein.
The pole was considered necessary in
the operation of ood-letting, the pa
tient grasping it I'm order to make the
blood flow more freely" As it was apt
to get stained, the barber painted it red.
When the pole was not in use, it was
suspended outside the door with the
white linen swathing bands twisted
around it." In later times this gave
rise to the practice of painting it red
and white, or black and white, or even
with red, white and blue lines round it.
