THE VALUE OF BUTFON BOARDS.
Types of the People Who Gather
Round.

Though there are many things whieh
attract attention and draw crowds now
adays, there is probably nothing which
attracts more attention or draws and
keeps a larger crowd than a board full of
b~uttons, not ordinary buttons, nor even.
campaign buttons, but those bearing the
words, IF you love me, grim" Lend
me a doIlar?' Get off the earth, your
time is up 'tIsn be a sister to YOU and
countless such sentiments. There is gener-
ally the same crowd about these boards
the people vary, but the types don't.
first, is the boy who stands looking at the
buttons and reading the sentences with
his mouth wide open and an expression
of pleased idiocy on his c~ountenance. He
is utterly unconscious of his surroundings
as he ponders which of the many re-
markable sayings will most startle the
world when viewed in his lapel. He.
generally stands with his hat on the
back of his head and his hands in his.
trousers pockets. a picture of careless.
easy enjoyment, which is frequently
changed to delight as he catches sight of
some hitherto unknown saying or catch
word. Next to him in prominence is the
elderly man, who stopped merely because
he wanted to see what was amusing the
boy SO. His expression. as he first looks
over the boys shoulder, Is one of toier-
ance of the ways of youth. but soon he
sees a button with a saying that so
"Ha, hal" and then shamefacedly he
buys it. muttering something about the
youngsters" and as he walks away his
step grows lighter and he begins to-
imagine himself a boy again, with a boys
delight In slang and jokes
As one watches the expressions OF the
faces Of ten or twelve of these button
admirers, one sees all the gradations from
amusement TO absolute enjoyment and de-
light. There Is always a young fellow
who is still young enough to remember
his fondness for such things, but who
considers himself old enough to be dis
gusteS with such frivolity. The struggle
between his desire 10 see If there be any
thing new and his efforts to appear I'M
conscious that there is such a board full
Of buttons in existence, is ~laughable, but
If a hasty glance around assures him
that none of the fellows are in sight
the board Is sure to win. NOT the least
owner of the board. Though too used
to the buttons. to be interested In them him
self. yet when he hears anyone laugh at
some new Or unusually good phrase. he
glances at that one quickly and appre-
eiatively, and ten to one he claps the
man on the shoulder with some remark
which shows, clearly that he appreciates
the other fellows good sense.
The service which these buttons boards
are to a certain class OF youths Is in
calcuiable. No longer do they have To-
buy the popular songs in order to learn
the latest slang phrases. Fifteen minutes
spent before q button board puts an ordi-
important accession to the slang tongue.
Twenty minutes familiarixes him with
them, 80 that he knows Just when and
for what thay sh1 uid Be used. Saying
merely of TIA time saxedj Button boards

chine that occupy the roadway OF the
Boulevard from Liberty to Humboldt
street and in fact several other points in
West Hohoken and Union Hill. They play
baseball, football and shinney. making
the riding for wheelmen very dangerous.
They are very insulting and abusive to
riders who demonstrate with them regard
ing the danger Of their practice and oc-
c~aslonaily they throw missiles at the
wheelmen and seem to grow holder each
evening. Last night John Fellows and
Win Packard were riding along when a

ate cavalry general. When she met Mar
ion Butler, he had been compelled to
abandon his law studies owing to the
death of his father, and was hard at
work running a country paper and get
ting living for large family of
younger brothers and sisters
The Faison family was one of the old.
aristocratic families of the state, and
Miss Faison' parents opposed her mar
riage to Butler, alleging that his social
position did not equal that of their
daughter. Miss Florence, however, was
very much in love with her young
Farmers Alliance knight and refused
to give him up. They were married
about two years and half ago, and
have one child, baby about, o months
old. This baby bears the very formula
bic name of Poeahontas.
Marion Butler, as will be recalled
managed the notable fusion campaign in
North Carolina a little over year ago.
The Populists, under Buffers leader
ship, and the Republicans united, carried
the state and divided the two United
States senatorships. Butler was elected
to the long term and took his seat in
March, 1895. He was born May 90
1868, and was a United States senator
at the age of 81. Not since the days Of
Henry Clay, it is said, has there been
such a youthful member of the upper
branch of congress. Clay had just reach
ed the constitutional age OF 80 when he
took his seat in the senate.
