JOKES ON BERLIN BUILDINGS Quaint Ornaments a Feature of Architecture. SYMBOLIC DESIGNS AND PUEE FUN Pons Aslnornm on a School for Boys tad Playful Bvars Are) to Be Found oa All Norts of BolllllUKB. If o body familiar wtth tha ugliness of mod ern German cities would say that the arch itects had any sense of humor. The blocks of overladen stucco houses are as depress ing; In Breslau as they are In Munich, with no suggestion uf humor or even taste to Illumine them. Theie may be a great deal of taBte, Just as there was In one other noted cane, but most of It Is bad. It was only In the use of cIshkIc models that the German architects became In the leum d. - gree Interesting, all hough it could not be aid that they showed humor In them. Now they have decided to show humor In thalr work whether It be appreciated by their compatriots or not. So we have en many of the public buildings recently erected In Iierlln design that show a ten dency to return to the times In which the great ecclesiastical architects loved t6 have their llltle Jokes. Gargoyles, figures carved on bultresses on thu tops of columns or figures anywhere inlcht be made the source of humor without spulling the ecclesiastical atmosphere a chui-h ought to jioasess. This Is Uie kind of a Joke Uiat the Berlin architects are enjoying nowadays wherever they find an appropriate field. Like those of their predecessors, the Jokes of the Berlin srohltecU are not visible to the superllclal observer. It takes a careful and sympathello eye to catch them. One would have to look, hard, for Instance, to see the point of the decorative detuil over one of the doors In the new district school on the Koppen Plats. The "Pons Aslno rum" Is here Immortalised In stone, how ever, and the truth that the fifth proposi tion In the first book of Kuclld Impresses on the student Is pictured In red sandstone. Students who .get Into the habit of looking up at tli carving every morning are not likely to forget that the sum of the squares of two sides of a right angld triangle Is equal to the square of the hypothenuse. Similar decorations show the development f a young girl on the capitals of three pillars In a school In Uerlln.' On the first 1' tile head of a child staring confidently into a world about which she knows very llltle. while r.ilers. figures, a slate und copy book I formliu; the background indli ate the sub jects occupying lu r thoughts. On the sec ond capital she Is shown with some of her school friends and is now thinking of knitting stocking. On the third capital WB ttUKGKX UA.C11SUUNDS BA3-R1XIKF ON X SCHOOL HOUSB he has developed Into young womanhood and the flatiron, sewing machine and mar ket basket are the objects of her thoughts. More elaborate Is the capital of another girls' school In Berlin which is shown here. It has an allegorical significance which contrasts the old methods of teaching girls with those prevailing today. The portal of the girls' school seems Inclined to look with favor on the days In which the school teacher was an old woman who came to her pupils with her knitting in her hand. She was at all events to Inspire them with a desire for learning and we see the child near her reaching out f ir the laurels that go to the faithful student. The youthful teacher of the day, shown with a drawn, rather nervous look as a result of all her vsrlous studies, can occupy no such place with her pupil, who is as little Interested for herself as for her dull and makes no effort to clutch the laurels within her reach. The corresponding portal to this, which is not shown here, had the effect of Indicating that the new teacher was better for the boys than the old man with the court wig who is the model of the old-time teacher. It can readily be seen that such decorations have much more eloquence than conventional carvings. The beur as the symbol of Berlin has been a source of great Inspiration to thd architects with a fondness for Indulging their sense of humor. On the door of a swimming pool he Is being rubbed down after a bath. Over the entrance to play room he is Papa Bear amiably playing ball with his youn.f ones, who ungratefully bit him In the eye with a ball, causing him to weep bitterly. Over thu door to a gym nasium four bears are shown in a triptych. Otis U lifting weights, two are playing leapfrog and a third Is doing athletlo ex ercises on a bar. On one of the new swimming baths In Berlin are the diving ducks used here as a capital, and here also la the turtle Instructing- two fishes in the art of playing the flute. Then there are in the same school bas reliefs of the frogs going out rowing and learning to swim. They are frankly humorous, with none of the more poetlo and symbolic character of the portal, for instance, to the girls' school. 4'0LD BILL" WAS A HUMMER Aetlro Career of the Original Hands I p" Man Now Serving; I. ire sentence. William A. Pinkerton, head of the detec tive agency, makes a point of keeping in PONS A8INORVM. CARVED liLKU.N tiCUOOU IN close touch with the police authorities all over the country, and never misses a con vention of the International Association of Chiefs of Polloe. They met In Jamestown few days ago, and Mr. Pinkerton told them the story of "Old Bill" Miner, who first used the expression "Hands up!" a cry which has startled so many thousands of victims. Miner, according to Mr. Pinkerton, was one of the first hold-up men to operate on the Pacific coast, and Is now serving a life sentence In the New Westminster, British I Columbia, penitentiary for the robbery if a Canadian Pacific train at Durrer, B. C, early in the morning of May 9. 1900. " 'Old Bill" Miner," said Mr. Pinkerton, "was one of the most remarkable single handed stage and train robbers who ever operated in the far west. He never be longed to any organized band of hold-ups, generally working alone.' On rare occa sions, however, he selected an assistant, lie always went about his work In a matter-of-fact way, never pos'ng man' and never taking human life, "A early as 1SC9 he served a term for stage robbery In San Quentln. When he got out of prison in 1879 lie robbed the lel Norte stage in Colorado of H .'. He escaped with the booty, finally going to Michigan, where he posed as a California capitalist Whn his funds ran low he re turned to Colorado and took part In sev eral other hold-ups. "For a California stage robbery In 1HS1 he was sentenced to twenty-five years, and i was relessed In lwl. li s long Imprison- ment apparently did little to rrfurm Mm, j for in a year or two he held up the tyegi.n j Railway and Navigation company' train at Mllepost 21. near Corbett. Ore. Although a reward of $l,:ino was offered for Miner he was not captured. "A year later beheld up the Canadian Pacific's transcontinental express at Mis sion Junction. B. C.,f securing 10.000 in gold dust and money. ' The Dominion gov ernment offered a 15,000 reward for him, which was Increased to J12,i0 by the re wards of the Canadlajj Pacific and the provincial authorities. "Ignoring the price on his head. Miner held up another Canadian Paclllc train at Durrer, It. C. He compelled the engineer to uncouple tbe mall car and haul It a mile from the rest of the train, where he rifled It of registered letters. Miner believed that the express packages were in the mall car, nd when he found they were not he did not have the nerve to go back. lie escaped to the islands off the coast. The large re wards offered Induced posses to take up the pursuit, and he was captured by the Canadian constabulary after having put up a fight tn which one man was wounded. He was sentenced to Imprisonment for life." BARBERS SPIELED TOO MUCH Bunch of Dubious Compliments Are Handed n Customer Kopuosed to Be Deaf. Quietly entering a barber shop, the stranger removed his hat and coat, and, taking a card from his pocket, wrote on lu "I want to be shaved." A barber, stepping forward, read the car "",')' tp"ln,lne to tl'ulr. said to his brothel' "Deaf as a brass kettle and dumb as an oytr." The mnn straightened himself out in tha chair, when his manipulator began lathar Ing his face. "Tills deaf cuss has a cheek like a stone all." he uld, when a general laugh fol lowed. "Stick a pin In hltn and see If be Is en tirely dumb," said another. Tha victim remained undlHturbed; the fol lowing shots were fired at him by the delighted tonsorial artists: "He needs a shampoo. His head is dirtier than a public house door mat." "Shave htm with a stool leg. Don't apofl your razor on that stubble." "Grelou what a guy! He'd make a good bird frightener." "He ought to rent that nose for a loco motive headlight." While ail these complimentary allusions were flying about him the operation of shaving was finished, and the man arose, put on his coat, and then, turning to tha astonished barber, said: "How much fur the shave and compli ments?" "I I I I," gasped the astonished man, "oh, nothing nothing call aKain excuse " and as the stranger left the shop the discomfited barbers swore that they would never believe In a deaf and dumb man again until they had first fired a ten-pound cannon about his eais.Boston Herald.
