THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER
SCOUT ANDREW POE
Andrew and Adam Poe, two broth
ers, were scouts In the pioneer days
of Ohio. One day when the Poe
brothers were leading a party on the
trail of a bund of Indians who had
raided the settlements, they left their
men to try to locate the savages. The
brothers became separated. On the
bank of a river Andrew came upon a
giant Wyandot chief and a smaller
Indian who were standing with tlielr
rifles cocked but looking in another
direction.
Poe's rifle missed Are when he shot
at tiie chief and the Indians at once
discovered him. Before they could
shoot, the scout sprung upon them,
seizing both around tiie neck. The
small Indian jerked loose Arst and
while the chief held Poe, his com
panion tried to get in a death blow
with ills tomahawk. Andrew allowed
him to come close. Then with one
mighty kick he [danti d his foot In the
Indian’s stomach, hurling him back
ward and knocking the hatchet from
his hand.
When tiie little Indian got Ills breath
back and recovered his tomahawk, lie
advanced to tiie attack again and suc
ceeded in wounding Poe In the arm.
A second later the scout pulled him
self from the grasp of the chief, seized
one of the Indians’ guns and shot the
warrior as he advanced to attack him
a third time. Poe was no longer flght
Ing against olds and be immediately
attacked the chief.
Tiie ground was wet and sllpiiery.
In another moment the Indian and the
white man, locked in each other’s
arms, fell Into the water and each be
gan trying to drown tiie other. Final
ly Poe seized his enemy by the sculp
lock and held his head under water
until he believed the chief was dead.
When he released his hold, however,
the redskin renewed the struggle. By
this time thj»y were fighting in deep
water. Seemingly at the same time
both thought of the one loaded rifle on
the shore and both started to swim to
get it. Tiie Indian was the better
swimmer and readied the bank first.
As the chief picked up the gun. Poe
turned hack In the water and lie gan
diving to avoid a bullet. Tiie chief
however, had picked up an empty gnn.
the one with which Andrew had killed
the little Indian, and before the Wyan
dot could get the loaded weapon.
Adam I’oe. who laid heard tiie spot,
came running to his brother’s rescue.
He fired and the Indian fell dead.

NATALIE Is another holy name,
originally coming from the Latin
title of “Dies Natalis." I lie bir'li
i day of our Lord. The word Natalie
| has furnished the title of tiie feost

rope.
France made tiie word Noel from It,
I meaning Christmas, and sunn Noel
became a Christian name there. In
Italy it appeared as Natale. Spain
and Portugal used the name Natal.
Tiiere Is u feast celebrated on tiie
I 8th of September by tiie Creek church
as the festival day of St. Natalia, tiie
devoted wife who attended tier hus
j Hnd, St. Adrian, In his martyrdom.
He Is the same Adrian whose relics
j filled the Netherlands and whose name
i became celebrated in the West where
j his wife Natalia was long neglected.
! The East, however, reversed the .r
I rangernent and Natalia Is popular
I there, while her husband E forgotten.
Natalia was one of tiie favoied
| (»reek Christian names. Russia adopt
ed her and. adding the usual con
sonants of Its language, calls her
Natallja, Nntasehenkn. and Natascha.
The first of tiie three names Is ex
tremely popular there today, or until
the Bolshevik! came Into power and
withdrew the attention of etymologists
from tile study of feminine names.
France Is said to have secured
Natalie from Russia, though there Is
record of a Natalie at Oambrai in
1212. England preferred Nataile to
any of the other forms, rejecting
Natalia as too Latin In Its Influence.
Whether American Natalies are rep
resentative of the English, or taken
direct from France, is a matter of
personal preference.

MARK PRICES IN
PLAINJIGURES
Code System Disappearing Be
cause of Abuses It En
couraged.
ABANDONED BY THE LEADERS
'Xjnje to Some Extent Forced by
Olivers, Many Insisting on Plain
Figure!—Origin »/ Code Sys
tem Net K«wn.
New York.—Among tae less notice
able anil Important changes uti huvo
taken place In the business world In
the last few year* lias l»een the grad
ual disappearance of codes in connec
tion with price tickets ami the mark
ing of the values of the merchandise
In plain figures. While many concerns
still stick to pricing their lines in code,
the \rade leailers have very largely
abandoned the practice. Smaller con
cerns have followed suit to some ex
tent, but others have been loath to
put plain figures on their goods.
The change from code to figures In
marking prices, according to informa
tion gained In this market, has been
forced to some extent by the buyers.
There are many retailers and «i>eelai
buyers for the big stores who will not
patronize a concern which hides Its
price* behind a code. The reason one
such buyer gave recently f"r this Is
that the code does not mean the same
to all buyers when translated into fig
ures. In other words, he asserted that
the use of a code Is merely a subter
fuge by means of w hich different buy
ers can he charged different prices for
the same merchandise without the'.r
knowing It.
Origin Not Clear.
Just where anil by whom the cod#
system of marking prices was origi
nated appears to lie not clearly known.
The reason why It was adopted is also
something of a puzzle, although plat s
lble solutions are offered. About ths
only thing regarding It fliat is at all
definite i* that It came into being
year- Hgo. when It was the custom of
the manufacturers and wholesalers to
build a kind of Chinese wall around
their business and station a regiment
of sold ft* rs at every gate. In those
days, according to trade veterans,
commercial spying wa* a high art.
and more than one man had his palin
crossed with silver for posing as a
buyer ami thus obtaining price data
of the competitors of the merchant
who hired him. In those days any
thing approaching the open-prli** as
sociations that had their being here
during the war would have been
looked upon a* madness, for then, to
all Intents and purposes, every mer
chant regarded his competitors as per
sonUI enemies.
One of the favorite codes used In
the early days, It is said, was the one
bused on the old motto, “In God We
Trust." This had the advantage of
containing Out twelve letters, with no
duplications In the first ten. Thus,
by dropping the final “st," something
like this was arrived at:
1 N GOD W E T It V
12345 67890
With this arrangement worked out,
the rest was easy. If a man were sell
ing broadcloth at $4.50 a yard, on his
price ticket would appear the more
or less erytle sign O P U. Were he
selling an overcoat at $37.25, the mark
on the ticket would he G E N D. Some
times the code would he varied by
placing the figure 1 under the U and
numbering in sequence to the left In
stead of to the rigid. Thousands of
codes and variations of original one#
have since been devised.
Frequently Abused.
While there seern# to he little doubt
that the code system was adopted orig
inally as a protective measure, It was
not long before It began to be used for
more ulterior purpose*. What was
there, somebody evidently argued, to
prevent llm use of the code to fool
buyer* as to the real price? In Its
early days, at least, wholesale busi
ness was no more conducted on a
strictly one-price basis than was re
tail selling. 'Therefore, not only did
a code price frequently mean differ
ent quotations to different buyers,
but It often meant the minimum fig
ure at which a yard of goods or a
gannejit could be sold. The sales
men were permitted to get anything
they could above the figure Indicated
by the code, and as they were paid
in comparison with what they sold,
they tried to get all the truffle would
hear. That way of dJfing business pre
vailed In one of the biggest wholesale
houses In the country for years. It Is
raid, and the gentle art of buying
there was rendered more difficult by
the fact that practically every kind
of merchandise sold by the concern
had a different code.
Instances like those noted above
have been paralleled many times, ac
cording to the buyers heretofore men
tioned. In late /ears, however, sales
men have had leHs leeway, If any at
all, in connection with fixing prices.
Because of this the double-price sys
tem to different buyers Is "worked”
more in the salesroom* than on the
road. Also, It 1* asserted, the prac
tice referred to is now very largely
confined to the garment trades. In
the hands of a smooth worker, usual
ly a member of the firm or the so
called general representative, the
cryptic code letters can mean $37.50
to ose buyer aud $37.25 to another.
To a really favored buyer It might
mean even lt**s.
