CAMPAIGN BUTTONS.
A Fad That Had Lively but Very
Short Existence.

II became interested a few years ago in
a campaign button mandatory said Mr..
Mark Goldberg, of Chicago, who Is spend
fortunately, just in time to catch the craze.
We had quite a large plant, and were able
to turn out 100000 buttons a day, The de-
vice was printed on discs of specially pre-
pared celuloid. which were then slightly
softened and pressed on metal rings with
a stud fastening. That part was done by a
machine which was inVenteJ by woman
in Iowa. She made about $15.6N9 out of her
patent The first buttons were nearly all
political, but the fad soon eXte-l 1ed to 9TH
er varieties, and at one time we made over
three hundred different sets. eacl set haV-
ing sometimes as many as forty separate
designs Making the drawings alone kept
corps Of ten men busy. They We're originally
printed in black, but after a while the de-
mand for novelty forced US to put in color
presses, and some of the work was really
artistic. Eventually we used photography
also and printed from the negatives direct
to the celluloid. This process was a secret
one. and we had to pay pretty stiff roy
''There was great difference in the quail
ity of the buttons. Some of them sold for
half a cent apiece wholesale, and some
brought as high as quarter. The latter
were the large Photographic buttons with
German silver mounts. At present the fad
is about played out. OF course q few are
still sold but not a hundredth part as MANY
as were formerly called for. We thought
that the war would create a demand for
buttons DedTllS poTIeIts OF tHe celebrities.
but we were badly left. We got out several
series with pictures of Dewey, Hobson
Sampson, Schley, and all the rest Of them.
but somehow they didn't catch on, and a
set with pictures of the ships also got the
cold shoulder. one order that we recently
filled was for 100000 handsome Roosevelt
buttons, which went to New York and were
bought by partisans of the Rough Rider
A phase of the fad that shows some vital
ity is the personal button-embellished with
ones own portrait or that of ones sweet
heart. A great many of them are made to
order We sell TO the dealers and they dis
pose of their wares to the hawkers Nearly
all the buttons in the market are peddled
on the curb"

The railroad is of the greatest SER
vice to the farmer, and here the patent
system is most intimately connected
with its institution and development.
The railroad ships live cattle and per-
ishable fruits and vegetables from dis
tances that would be impossible with
the old methods of transportation, be-
cause such products would perish on
the way, and, besides carrying more
stable products, it brings the farmer
his implements and fertilizers. In
fact, if he had to haul all his products
by wagon, many large areas in this
country could not be worked, because
they are so far from the markets that
the cost of shipment in the old way
would be prohibitive. The railroad
puts the farmer in touch with the
consumer, no matter what distance
may separate them. Indeed. the rail-
road and steel steamship open to the
American farmer the whole world as a
market The steel steamer is much
more economical than the wooden sail
ing vessel which it has supplanted,
because it is several times lal ger much
safer and faster than the sailing ship,
and yet it requires smaller crew and
shorter period OF time to make q
trip, resulting in great saving of
wages The farmer gets the benefit
ofthese differences in lower transporta-
tioa. Scientific American.

Horse Killed by Snakes.

Abram Robson, near Grantsburg,
Ind, while hunting for stray horse,
which had been missing for two days,
noticed large blacksnake which re-
treated toward cave formed by an
overhanging ledge of rocks in one of
the high bluffs surrounding his pas
ture land. His horse was found lying
in this cavern, but covered with what
looked to him like mountain of
snakes, so numerous were the reptiles.
Robson obtained his shotgun and
opened fire. continuing until his cart
ridges were exhausted. After the bat
tie he counted the bodies of Alb snakes,
lying around and over the body of his
horse, which was dead, while many
reptiles escaped in wounded condi-
tion. He believes that his horse,
which was magnificent animal weigh
ing 1000 or more pounds, had been
charmed by the reptiles. so that he
was powerless to escape, and he had
finally succumbed through weakness.

silver clasp encircles the waist.
The waist is supported by fitted

yoke is shaped from ''ready made"
tucking or the material is tucked be-

lining backs are covered to yoke depth
with the tucking, the front yoke being
included in the right shoulder seam
and closed over on the left. A stylish
feature is the extension of the shoul-

prettily scalloped epaulettes over the
sleeves.
The upper edges of the fronts and
back are also shaped in scallops, the

right front tapping slightly over on
the left and closing invisibly. The
fronts are arranged with modified
blouse effect, the back having closely
Tapped plaits at the waist line.
The neck is finished with a stand
ing collar to which is added scalloped
portions that fare gradually from be-
hind the ears to the back.
The two seam sleeves are of stylish
shape, fitting the arm closely to near
the top where the slight fulness is dis
posed in gathers. Stylish cuffs with
pointed ends flare over the hands COM
pleting the wrists.
All-over lace, corded or tucked taf-
feta or spangled net may be used for
the yoke, and if the sleeves are made
from the same material, a pretty
guimpe effect will result. Applique,
lace, spangled bowknots, irregular in
sertions, ruchings of chiffon or rib
bon, passementerie or chenille trim
ming will make stylish and effective
decoration.
To make this waist in the medium
size will require one and one-half
yards of material forty-four inches
wide.

A Striking Tailor Suit.

Among the many striking combina-
tions shown this season, black and
white effects are much favored.
The circular skirt of fancy black
and white plaid shown in the large
illustration by May Manton, is styl-
ishly worn with tight fitting basque
of fine cheviot or broadcloth, which is
scalloped on the lower edge and
strictly tailor finished. The perfect
adjustment is accomplished by double
bust darts, under-arm and side-back
cores. The fronts lap slightly in
double-breasted style, and above the
closing smart lapels meet the rolling
collar in notches.
The two seam sleeves are fashiona-
bly, close fitting with gathers adjust
ing the slight fulness at the shoulders.
The sheath fitting skirt flares sty-
lishly at the foot, the front being cut
on the bias fold of the material. The
skirt is shaped in one piece and meets
in seam at the centre back. It is
snugly fitted over the hips by short

darts taken up at the waist line, and
underlying plaits meet with cloth,
covered buttons and loops over the
placket opening in centre back.
Black fancy straw turban is trimmed
with wings, satin bow and strass
buckle.
Attractive suits in this style may
have basques of tan, brown, green,
blue or red cloth, the rule being to
select the shade that harmonizes the
best with the coloring that prevails
in the plaid.
Suits having skirt and basque to

A WoMAN's WORD.

Strange. amt it, how woman's word,
Her answer, yes or no,
Can plunge heart by passion stirred
In ecstasy or woe?
An that's JUS what's a-botherin' me-
I'd give world to know
Jes' what her answers goin' to be-
I'll bet she says it slow.
I'd rather hear the doom O. death,
'Twould be nc harder blow,
Than jes' the simple whispered breath
Her little answer, "No."
But then upon the other side,
Altho' dare no guess,
Yet there's hint she doesn't hide
b'lieve she'll answer "Yes."
