ORIGIN OF THE STORE SIGNS
Of the Pawnbroker Have Been
Used for Years,

Two Of the most common signs to
be seen in our city streets are the
BARRIERS pole and the three golden
balls of the paWnbroker. These have
been In use so many years that their
original meaning is, to many, quite
unknown. It is said that the red
stripe which winds around the barber
pole is meant to represent a bandage
bound about human arm. For in
early days the barber acted as a sur
geon as we'll as cutter of hair. He
was able to fill this Office because 1T
that time it was the common belief
that all illness was caused by having
too much blood in the body. Conse-
quently, it was thought. the best thing
to do was to bleed the sick one/ A
barber was called, and he undertook
the task of puncturing blood vessel
In the arm; then, after he thought
sufficient blood had flowed, he would
bandage the wound.
The three golden balls were used
as a commercial sign by early 1tal-
Ian merchants who lived in the days
when the powerful Medici family held
sway in Florence. The three golden
balls were part of the crest of arms
of the Medici family. There were some
representatives of this family among
the merchants. These used the sign
above the doors of their shops,
and It became a well-known emblem
In the neighborhood of the city. FL
nally some of the Italian merchants
found their way to England, and there
opened the first money-lending estab-
l1shments under the sign of the three
balls. Later the use of the emblem
became common to all money-lenders.

ALARM CLOCK CAUSES HAVOC
Creates Much Amusement for Passen-
gers on Street Car by Sounding
at Wrong Time.

There was once a nice lady who
went down to the store and bought an
alarm clock so that she could wake up
early in the morning and her children
wouldn't always be late to school. The
man at the store was very polite, and
he wound it up for her and set it of,
and it made most terrific racket. The
lady said she'd never be able to sleep
through that, so she bought it, and the
man put it in a box and wrapped it up
in paper.
The lady started for home and got
into car. The lady opposite her had
little fox errier on her lap with q
pink ribbon on his collar He was sit
ting there just as quiet as Teddy
bear. Next to her was lady with a
little boy who was eating a little
round cake. The fox terrier was watch
ing his hand 60 up and down to his
mouth, hoping there would be some
left for him. That was why he was so
good. =:
Suddenly the peace and quiet of the
car was broken by a sound-a loud;
insistent, penetrating sound. It came
from the package the lady was hold,
ing. It was the alarm clock, which
was going off as hard as it could:
Then the little dog jumped to his feet
and barked furiously at the package.
and the little boy was so frightened
that he dropped his cake, which rolled
to the middle of the floor. Then like a
flash the dog jumped from the lady's
lap and gobbled up that cake in about
three-quarters of a second, whereat
the little boy wept long and loud!
Meanwhile the clock kept on unweari.
II and all the people in the car turned
round end stared, till the lady had to
unite the strings and unwrap the par.
eel and turn off the alarm. The clock
stopped ringing, the dog stopped bark.

another cake, so everything was

How State Rooms Were Named

When they first had steamboats, on
the Mississippi river they had no
sleeping rooms on board. Later a
bright captain conceived the idea of
having the rooms named for the
states through which the boat passed.
This proved such a success that trav-
elers always made a rush for the
rooms named for their avn states
and much consequent trouble arose.
Finally the state names were dis
carded, but that was the beginning
of the stater00m. On some steamers
to-day the name Texas" clings to
one room, but it is the room where
the crew eat and travellers are not
particularly interested in it.
