The world has become so accustomed

there was ever q time when buttons
were. unknown. 1t is safe to say that 90
out of FOO, il asked to name the date Of
the first button, would anticipate the
actual date by several centuries. In the
fourteenth century there were buttons,
but 10 buttonholes. They were purely
ornamental, lacking buttonholes, and

Lynn, Mass. Dec. 8. - An unknown
man, about go years Of age, was struck
and killed by the train out of Boston
on the Eastern division of the Boston
and Maine road, about 500 feet east Of the
Oak island station. The next train oui
OF Boston picked UP the body and
brought 1t here, where an autopsy re.
vealed the fact that while the man wss
not cut up, nearly every bone in his body
had been broken. The victim apparently
was a machinist. and had q silver watch
and $1.50 In change In his pocket. The
train conductor was Charles Dwyer and

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 8.-A rumor com.
ing from some OF Governor Bradley'i
close friends Is current here that he has
been very respondent Of late; that he
believes his throat trouble has been
caused by the continual harrassment OF
his office; that his poor health caused
him to drop out Of the senatorial race
and has caused his hesitation about call
ing an extra session of the legislature
All this has given rise to a rumor that he

OLD FASHIONED WEATHER.
The Modern Weather Isn't Liable to Such
Sudden Changes.

This isn't at all what you'd call bad
weather. Deacon" observed Commercial
street man as he and the deacon stood
talking with an old farmer who wanted
to sell some potatoes to be delivered when
he drove in again some time next week.
''That's so," assented the deacon, "ani
yet I'm looking forward to the time when
we shall all be grumbling about the
weather, and wondering when it will be
bit cooler."
"That's the very thing, Deacon" put
in the old farmer eagerly. "You'n bear
me out in what I said to Sam and Silas
this monrin'. Says I, THE weather don't
change bout as it did when was boy.
I don't wable bout in no such way
That's what I said to Sam and Silas, an
stick to it,
81 don't know but your right" said
the deacon. Come to think Of it, pve
noticed the same thing myself
"Of course you have. Why, don't you
remember the winter Of 1880, deacon?
You must, tho Of course you wasn't
anything but boy then I know was
only youngater. Why. deacon, that
winter it was so hot in January that
the buds started on the trees, an the sap
just poured out when we tapped few
of our naples. Them was great days,
deacon"
The deacon chuokled, recollections Of
the past having evidently been called up
by the story of the old farmer.
"An' then, b'gosh, deacon, don't you
recall the spring Of 1888? I knowed you
would. wasn't anything more than a
boy, but remember how we dug through
| the drifts to the road in order that we
might all 'tond funeril. We didn't have
| no concerts, nor meetin's nor play houses
to go to, an even funer'l wasn't to be
set aside, deacon, besides it counted as q
means of grace you know
The deacon nodded, and the old farmer
| continued. cam b'gosh, deacon, you
must have heard Of tho snow storm In
July, 1923. an of the great thaw Of 1920.
when the grass was so we'll star'd in
March that folks come mighty near
gettin' second crop tell you, deacon,
the weather isn't what 1t was years ago
by jug full. Yes, I'll bring them in
next week, deacon, an I'll tell Sam an
Silas that you backed me up in what
said bout the weather we used to have
| when me and you used to go bout to-
gether. Say, deacon, have you forgot
that red ear of corn, an the huskin bee?
