WHADDYEMEAN BY A LUCKY
HORSESHOE?

In early Christian days every
household had it's image of the
Blessed Virgin and the Christ Child,
and halo always shone above the
Virgins head. A cresent-shaped piece
of shining metal was used as a
crown or halo, and, the metal being
of enduring material, often remain
ed in it's place on the wall when the
statue had disappeared. The gleam-
ing halo was looked upon as a sacred
talisman, and in time the horseshoe,
which was also crescent shaped,
came to be considered an omen of
goodness and harbinger of good
luck.
All shades of biscuit, khaki and
dust color are in vogue

TALE OF TWO CITIES
In "Millionaires' Row." on once
beautiful Euclid avenue, Cleveland, is
a patch of lawn pock-marked with
bare spots where careless folks have
trodden the sod to death. The other
morning over each barred space ap-
peared the notice:
$50 IS :
KEEP OFF! =,
Far eastward, on Commonwealth
avenue, in classic Boston, there is
similar problem, but different solu-
ton. There the sign reads:
=
PLEASE!
###
Thousands of persons a day pass
both places. In Cleveland they gen.
orally scowl; whereas, in Boston, they
smile. What in the form of a surly
command excites a wish to trespass,
in the form of courteous appeal in
stantly wins sympathy and CLEAN
of humor. The Boston lawn is recov-
ering finely. Folks sometimes bring
lawnseed to help it along.
Politeness isn't a bit more effort
than gruffness. And it surely does
make life a lot more pleasant.

Richard Butler, Colored, Is Held for
HOUSEKEEPING.

Richard Butler. colored. who told the
police he had no particular place OF
abode. presented an amusing spectacle
Yesterday morning when Policeman HON
aback took him to the third precinct
notice station as a suspect. Butler was
found at 21st and F streets about :
o'clock and was asked to explain the
contents of a sack he had on his shoulder.
Policeman Honaback was unable to
tell Just what the colored man tried to
sav. but he was satisfied there was some
thing wrong with him and held fast to
him. At the police station 1t was found
that the bag contained articles of wearing
apparel. while Butlef was wearing several
suits Of clothes and odd garments.
The prisoner the police say, admitted
he had taken the clothing from the
establishment of w. S. Pugh, 1908 E
street northwest, and said he was on
his way to a secondhand store when ar
rested. He also stated that it was his
intention to go to Baltimore
A charge of HOUSEKEEPING was pre-
ferred against him and he will be ar

ARREST AT NAVY YARE.
Loiterer, Who Is italian, Is Sent to
HOSPITAL.

Policeman Guy Smith of the fifth pre-
cinct yesterday afternoon arrested an
Italian at the navy yard and charged him
with insanity. The prisoner was unable
to speak English. 1t was stated. and at
the police station the best the desk SER
geant could do in the matter of getting
his name was to record it as Joseph
Frank. aged thirtytwo years.
Complaint was made to the police that
the man had been lettering about the en-
trance to the navy yard to collect bill
from one of the employees.
The police were told that several days
ago the Italian was armed and that his
statements were such as to suggest his
mind possibly was affected. When placed
under arrest Frank. as his name was re-
corded, was not armed He was sent to
Washington Asylum Hospital for obser-
walton as to his mental condition.
