ORIGIN OF THE STORE SIGNS
Barber Pole and Three Golden Balls
of the Pawnbroker Have Been
Used for Years.
Two of the most common signs to
bo seen In our city streots are tho
barber's pole and the throe golden
halls of tho pawnbroker. TIicbo have
been lu use so ninny years that tholr
original moaning is, lo many, Quito
unknown. It Is said that tlio red
strlpo which winds nround tho harbor
polo is meant to represent a bnndago
bound nbout n human arm. ror In
early days the barber acted as a Bur
geon as well as a cutter of hair, lie
was able to fill this oluco because at
thnt time it was the common bcliot
that all Illness was caused by having
too much blood In th body. Conso
qticntly, It was thought, tho best thing
to do was to bleed the sick one. A
harbor was called, and he undertook
tho task of puncturing a blood vessel
in tho arm; then, after ho thought
sufllclont blood had (lowed, he would
bandage the wound.
Tho threo gullcn balls were used
ns n commercial sign by early ltnl
Inn merchants who lived In tho days
when tho powortul Medici family hold
sway In Florence. The three golden
balls were a pi.rt of tho crest of arms
of the Medici family. There wore somo
representatives of this family among
the merchants. These used the sign
above tho doors of their shops,
nnd It beenmo a well-known emblem
In the neighborhood of the city. Fl
nnlly some of tho Itnllnn merchants
found their way to England, and there
opened the first money-lending estab
lishments under the sign of tho threo
bnlls. Later the use of tho emblem
beenmo common to all money-londors.

ALARM CLOCK CAUSES HAVOC
Creates Much Amusement for Passen
gers on Street Car by Soundjng
at Wrong Time.
There was onco a nice lady wh
went down to the store and bought an
nlann clock so that she could wake Up
early In the morning and her children
wouldn't nlwnyu be late to school. The
man at tho store was very polity and
he wound It up for her and set it off,
nnd It. made n most terrific racket. The
lady said sho'd never be ablo to sleep
through that, so she bought It, and the
man put It In a box and wrapped It up
lu paper. '
The lady started for home and got
Into a cnr. Tho lady opposite hor had
a llttlo fox crrlor on her lap with a
pink ribbon on his collnr. He was sit
ting there Just ns quiet ns a Teddy
bear. Next to her was n lady with a
llttlo boy who was eating a little
round enke. Tho fox terrier was watch
lug his hand go up nnd down to his
mouth, hoping there would be some
loft for him. That was why ho was so
good.
' Suddenly tho pence and quiet of tho
car was broken by a sound a loud,
Insistent, penetrating sound. It camo
from the package tho lady was hold'
Ing. It was the nlarm clock, which
was going off ns hard as It could.
Then the little dog jumped to his foot
nnd barked furiously nt tho package,
and tho little boy was so frightened
that ho dropped his enke, which rolled
to tho mlddlo of tho floor. Then llko a
flash the dog jumped from tho Indy's
lap and gobbled up that enke in about
three-quarters of a second, whoroat
tho llttlo boy wept long nnd loud.
Meanwhile the clock kept on unwearl'
ly and all tho people in the car turned
round nnd stared, till tho lady had to
untie tho strings nnd unwrnp the par-
col and turn off the alarm. Tho clock
stopped ringing, the dog stopped hark
ing, aud tho boy's mother gave him
another cnxe, so everything was
peaceful again.
