HISTORY OF OLD
TAVERN SIGNS
"Ths Goat and compasses" Is a
Corruption Of God En-
compasseth U.s."

Reed Smith. in the South Atlantic


Reed Smith, In the South Atlantic
Quarterly.
Many Of the a%bsurdities in English
tavern signs today are traceable to a
process closely akin to popular etymol-
ogy. The sign of the Leg and the
Seven Stars" for example. is thought
to have been forrnely the League and
the Seven Stars" of the seven united
provinces. The Swan With the Two
Necks'' is presumably THE Swan With
the Two Nicks." The nick was a mark
or notch cut on the beaks of swans or
cygnets by way of Identification, like
the notching of pigs ears or the brand
ing of cattle. The curious combination
of THE Goat and Compasses' has been
heroicallv conjectured to be O. corrup-
ton Of God Encompasseth U.s." a relic
Of the days OF the commonwealth when
scriptural.names were fashionable even
in tavern signs. Satan and the Bag
Of Nails has been traced to THE Satyr
and Bacchanals." 1.-THE Queer Door"
is probably a corruption of Occur Dore.
"gilded heart.' 1.-The Goat IN the Golden
Boots" is ingeniously derived from the
Dutch Coed in der Gooden Boote.' the
god (Mercurv) in the golden boots"
Best of all. and probably authentic, is
; the history of the sign OF The Four

follows: Il remember. many years ago.

Mr.. B%arleycorn, a well-known brewer
in a quaint old town, joined the church.

fare, he made 1t a custom for his
workmen and draymen to turn up on
Sunday mornings at the brewery, all
dressed in their best smocks and ton
hats, when he would march along with
them to church. This had been going
on for some time, when one day the
parson met him, and. after stopping to

Miss AndersOn'a Recital.
A good audience was present at the
violin recital given by Miss Luella Ander-
son, assisted by Mr.. Sigmund Landsberg,
pianist and Mr.. ]. II. Simms, organist,
at the First Baptist church last evening.
Miss Anderson played a program which
contained compositions OF greatest diff
Guilty from a musical as well as technical
standpoint. These were met musically by
her accurate conceptions, taste in phras-
ing, good tonal work and general musical
care. and technically, with a sure and ac-
curate bow, and a general technlc that
was constantly In evidence
The Beethoven Sonata in T. major, prob
ably the most generally liked OF all out
side Of the "Kreutser." was the opening
number. played by Miss Anderson and
Mr. Landsberg. Both musicians carefully
brought out the dialogue between the two
instruments, and gave an adequate read
ing Of this large interpretive compost
ton. The Adagio cantabile Scherzo and
Allegro Presto were especially we'll done.
In a group OF shorter numbers the Pug
nani-Kreisler Prelude and Allegro
proved OF unusual interest, with it's broad
lines and brilliancy. The "Andante" from
the Mendelssohn Concerto. schubert's
Bee" and the popular Poem" by Ffbich
did much to establish Miss Anderson IN
the favor OF the audience.
The really big number OF the evening
was the Giaconia in G minor. by Vital
with the organ accompaniment arranged
by Thomson, and played by Miss Ander-
son and Mr.. simms. In this the player
was at her best. and the organ tone
blended most gratifyingly with that OF
