CAMPAIGN BUTTONS.
A Fad That Had a Lively But Very
short Existence.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
q became interested a few years ago in
a campaign button mandatory" said Mr..
Mark Goldberg of Chicago. who is spend
ing a few days in New Orleans, "and was
fortunately just in time to catch the craze.
We had quite large plant and were able
to turn out 100 600 butotns a day. The de-
vice was printed on disks of specially pre-
pared celluloid which We're then slightly
softened and pressed on metal rings with
a stud fastening. That part was done
by a machine which was invented by a
woman in Iowa. She made about $4,000
out of her patent. The first buttons were
nearly all political, but the fad soon cX-
tended to other varieties, and al one time
we made over 300 different sets, each set
having sometimes as many as forty sepa-
rate designs Making the drawing alone
kept a corps of ten men busy. They
were originally printed in black, but after
a whiie the demand 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 The
process was secret one, and we had to
pay a pretty stiff royalty.
'"rhere was a great difference in the
quality of the buttons. Some of them
sold for half a cent apiece wholesale, and
some brought as high as a quarter. The
latter were the large Photographic but
tons with German silver mounts. AZ
present the fad is about played ou4. OF
course, a few are still sold but not =
hundredth part as many as were formerly
called for We thought that the war
would create a demand for buttons bear
ing portraits of the celebrities bus we
were badly left. We got out several series
with pictures of Dewey, Hobson. Sampson
Schley and all the rest of them but some
how they DIDN'T catch on, and a set wlfb
pictures of the ships also got the cola
shoulder. One order that we recently filled
was for 100000 handsome Roosevelt but
tons, which went to New York and were
bought by partisans OF the Rough Rider
A phase Of the fad that shows some vifai-
ity Is the personal button-embeIished
with ones own portrait or that of ones
sweetheart A great many of these are
made to order. We sell to the dealers and
they dispose of their wares to the hawf..
ers. Nearly all the buttons in the market
are peddled on the curb"

After One Year in Heaven.

ID ow do they me asure time, dear,
In the land your eyes now see?
Are the minutes set to the chime of bells
And the hours to harmony?
Do you know aught OF our years, dear.
OF our months and weeks and DAYS?
Or do you count by the love-throbs alone,
By the pulsings Of JOY and praise?
Do you know we have walked year, dear
OF our earth-life, missing you?
DO you know of the pain that has filed our
hearts?
Of our struggle with grief and woe?
Oh, what have the days brought you, dear
Which We count on our hearts to. night?
Have they seemed as long as eternlty's span,
Or as brief as an earth $ delight?
Have you learned what your heart eer
sought, dear,
OF knowledge and love and power?
Do you know the why of our being here?
The secret that battles each hour?
Oh, what is the deepest joy, dear,
Which has come in your heavenly year
LO, your voice comes clear to my heart to-
night.
And these are the words | hear
"The deepest joy of this life, dear,
Is the Joy all may know below
That God has us each in his heart of love
And will not let us go.
The wonder of heavens life, dear,
Is that it is Just the same
twas love made my heaven below, dear
Here, too, we serve In His Name
"And the tie which binds the worlds, dear
Is the tie of an infinite love;
We cannot be far apart, dear,
Who serve, or below or above"

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
The committee ran schools throughout
the year with uniform success. During the
winter term all scholars of the Cape school
were provided conveyance to the Brook at a
total cost of but S27, or less than it would
cost to board the teacher and provide fuel
for school. We have had in all POO weeks
or 20 weeks to each scholar throughout the
town. The grading work of the previous
Years has been carried forward as fast as it
could be under circumstances which oblige
many larger pupils to be out of school one
or more terms a year. Especial mention of
grade work is to be made of Nos |, 2, 3 and
I. W have employed II different teachers
III the schools, all except one having had
previous experience. A great gain is made
by the retention of the same teacher year
after year, as she gets used to the pupils and
surroundings and can 90 decidedly better
work.
l wish to say word of general praise Of
our teachers the past year. They have done
excellent work without an exception al q
merit much praise from committee, parent
and pupil. The committee have authorized
