Running Guard in Arizona.

There was a funny case of running
guard down in Phoenix, Ariz., few
years ago. About One-third of the
Fort Whipple soldiers had set sail for
the town immeditely after pay day,
not for the purpose of having any con.
aict with the jumpers, as regulars call
civilians down in the Southwest, but
for the purpose of overstaying their
leave about three days, just to show
J their animoSity toward commanding
officer who had been very strict with
all hands in the matter of allowing
them liberty. They had twenty-four
hours leave, and they intended 10
take four days. They made it stick,
but they were bothered some in the
attempt. When none of them re-
turned to the post on time, running
guard, composed of nearly all the SOL
Tiers left at the post, was sent out az.

The running guard met several
punches of from ten to twenty SOL
1iers, and pretended to engage them.
The exchange Of blows was similar to
the heavy work seen in old-time
Humpty Dumpty performances, and
the mix-up always finished with the
escape of the leave-breaKers. The

decided that they were being buncoed

and they formed a provost guard
among themselves. This, however,
was on the third day, and the soldiers
were about ready to come in of their
own accord. They had been absent
from the post just ninety-six hours,
as they had intended, when they final

Buttons.

1t is only in comparatively modern
times that buttons have been util-
lzed as fasteners. The Greeks and
Romans knew nothing of them, and,
though they presented themselves as
ornaments in the fourteenth century.
button-holes were still an undreamed-
OF possibility. 1t was not until
nearly the middle of the last century
that the manufacture of steel buttons
was entered upon at the Soho works
IN Birmingham, England. Then, on
the accession Of George III, gilt but
tons appeared and became quite the
vogue. But is was reserved for the
artisans of our day to make these use
ful fasteners in the greatest variety, at
marvelously low prices and out of all
sorts of material, even to the SEEM

MASSACHUSETTS DAMAGED.
Vessel Will Need Extensive Repairs
Before Going in Service.

New York, Dec. 14.-Naval officers
believe that the Massachusetts must
go out of commission and that practic-
ally a new keel and seven new frames
must be supplied to her before she will
be fit for sea.
This apprehension has been caused
by IN incomplete examination made by
the naval constructors and divers
for 24O feet and frames are twisted in
about seventeen different places in that
distance. These injuries are the result
of the accident last Saturday, when the
big vessel struck a mass Of rock ear
Diamond reef and drove over it.
Naval officers were startled when
they learned the nature of the accident
to the ship. They supposed that beyond
the buckling of a few plates in the out
err skin the ship was uninjured. They
are now astonished at the fact that the
big ship did not sink and was able to
go to Tompkinsville and return to the
navy yard.
Naval Constructor Bowles' prelim-
mary report, forwarded to Washing
ton on Monday, showed that the keel
and frame number Is were buckled
badly. The report of Mr.. Bowles sent
last night showed the state far more
serious.
