4 QUESTION OF BUTTONS
SIS. 1000 Worth Spoiled Before Eng
land Got What She Wanted.

The British War Office, which, on oc-
casions in time past, has won glory and
renown for the mastery knowledge of
military affairs it has displayed, is in
deep trouble. This trouble is not caused
by the elusive Beers or by any other enc
my of the king. but by-buttons.
Only buttons but it might just as well
have been guns
When the king ascended the throne
some one discovered that it was neces-
sary to change the buttons of the British
army.
There happened to be little war in
South AFRICA at the time-and there is
stiil-but it paled at once into nothing
ness beside the question of buttons.
For weeks the clerks of the several de-
partments spent their spare time between
lunch and o'clock in feverish activity
Notes had to be written. copied, dock
eted, tied Tup with red tape and fled
Pourparlers were exchanged between de
partnents.
Men who could not be stirred by mere
battles found their veins tingling with
excitement over buttons.
Several buttons of new and ingenious
buttons calculated to strike terror into
the hearts OF the kings enemies were
chased down Pail Mall and other things
were done to prove that the War Office
really had the great question in hand.
AT last d. truce between contending de-
partments, each anxious to prove its eff
cheney and ability in this momentous
matter was arrived at One button was
chosen and sent to the king, who at once
signiiied his approval.
Again the great machine moved. Orders
were sent to manufacturers and by thou
sands the buttons began TO return to the
army clothing people at Pimlico.
But. alas: 4 mistake had been made.
After all the buttons over which strong
fIren had fought and wept were not sent
to the makers.
Bv sregrettable accident a wrong
design found its way to Sheffield, and
