DOES A BARBER POLE HAVE
STRIPES?

TN TIE old days the barber used TO
he the surgeon, or bloed-letter, as
wei as the shaver and cutter Of
hair, for surgery in those times was
confined almost entirely TO the re-
moval of blood by means Of cut in
the. arm or leg.
The round brass ball ut the top Of
his pole or sign was originally the
brass basin which he used for lather-
ing his customers who desired to be
shaved and the pole itself was the
staff which persons held while the
blood-letting was being done. The
ribbons (now painted stripes) repre-
sented the bandages used during the
operatioD--the white one being the
bandage as it was first applied and
the red one that which was taken of
the wound after the patient was
through As time went on, the func-
tlons of the barber were gradually
taken over by the medical profession,
but his pole remains as Il symbol OF
his former glory.

All True,

The guest was a smirking, sly sort
of man. He hoped to make good with
his host by winning the affection of
his children. But for some reason
seven-year-old Mary did not like him.
Still he persisted and one evening
when he,entered the house and saw
her all bedecked in "a new dress, he
said meaningly, Fine feathers make
fine birds, / see," and smiled at her
father.
Mary turned and looked at him and
noticed the fur collar on his overcoat.
And then little giggle escaped her.
"Oh. fine fur makes foxes. too" she
returned.
/ But she didn't know why the guest
colored.

Sea Nav Reclaim Maynard Bows,

Believing that the lure Of the sea
might prove the winning appeal TO
boys who resist the conventional
schooling of shore life. a Baltimore
shipping expert proposes the establish
ment of training ship at that port.
Not only would such a school ship
serve as cooperative unit in the
educational system Of the city and
state, but it would give additional
marine training calculated to yield a
supply of American sailors for the
merchant vessels of the nation.-Pop-

By F. II. WALKER

In reality IL Is not giving you
fleeting thought. try TO be happy.
The mere effort to acquire SUMMER
mentality will be found helpful, as it
takes you away from gloom, cheers
your mind and enables you to look
ahead with clearer vision.
To permit a depressing thought TO
imprison you. when there are duties
10 be done, which you owe To yourself
and TO others, is common weakness
not easily overcome, YET the shackles
are easily broken when you go about
the work in the right spirit.
The great-hearted have become
great-hearted by trying to be happy.
Their early efforts were difficult,
fraueht often with severe trials. In
seasons of Encouragement they felt
that they lacked strength TO rum away
from the somhrous shadows that en-
compassed them, but by exertng self
will, lighting UP their little lamp of
faith and keeping il ever burning, they
came unexpectedly upon Happiness,

hands to welcome them.
When disposed To be downcast be-
cause Of harshly spoken word by Il
thoughtless friend, or failure of some
cherished plan you have been nursing
for days and days, do not give up 10
ill-humor or remorse. but lift your eyes
10 the sky and open your heart to
heavens happiness.
II YOU attune your soul Alright you
will find deIectable happiness in the
vast arch overhead, in the drifting
white clouds. in the swaying of trees
and in the whisperings OF the winds
all bearing message of cheer and
encouragement.
How often do you raise your eyes
,to the smiling blue. or pause to think
of the bliss beyond. waiting for those
who shall overcome?
How often, instead of packing away
Your troubles, which no amount of
grie0ing can change, do you turn to
the great outdoors for consclation,
seeking you at every turn of the read,
on the SUBMITS of the hills by the dim
pied streams and in the peaceful
wales?
All the kings horses and all the
kings men cannot bring you happiness
IL you. of yourself, refuse to 60 out
with open arms 70 meet it and press it
to your breast. fFY
