Muscatine, Ia, Dec. 7.-Sixty-
five per cent of all the pearl but
tons used in America are made in
Muscatine. Eight factories, 5000
men, women and children.
But did you know also, that
most of the Muscatine pearl but
tons on your shirt, or shirtwaist,
were made by native born Amer
lean men and women who got abb
so1utely nothing for the labor of
making them?
The manufacturers pay cent
to a cent and a half a pound for
the mussel shells. A pound will
make many buttons.
The shells soak a week or two,
while the bodies of the mussel in
side rots away. Then machines
cut many little round button
blanks from each she'll The cut
tiers who operate these machines
have their hands in and out of
this fetid, vile-smelling water all

They get $7-to $40 week

from soaking their hands contin-

Cutters are paid by the dozen.
Thus arose custom of calling II

Then the manufacturers. adopt

they called it gross. Then they
eliminated the "bad" blanks all
over again, deducting from the
gross credited to the cutter. So,
in reality, he got a net credit of,
say, 9 or 10 dozen for the IA
dozen he turned in.
That is, he would but for yet

possible to count all the buttons,j
of course, so the logical method
is to count a few handfuls of a.

That's what they did.
The weigher counted gross,a

 eyes and shivered.
 ''I guess can get through all right" said Mark reassuringly. "Fve done it before"
 The girl stood for few moments ir- resolute. Then she drew a red silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Mark. It was the only bit of f1nery she possessed.
 What is that for, Souri?'' asked Mark, affected in spite of himself.
 ''Waal, eff I don't see y no more, y thought keep ct ter-ter- Mebby eff y git inter trouble y thought find a chance ter send it ter me-Jakey thought tote it-'n I'll go down '-'n''- She turned away. It was evident she could not clearly express her mean ing, and her voice was getting husky.
 "Goodby, my little girl" said Mark, going up to her and taking her hand. 'I have notion that if it is necessary to the Union cause for my life to be saved again you will be on hand to save it."
 Then the girl went back to the house, and the travellers went on their way.
 "Jakey," asked Mark, "can your sis ter read writingT

 Can you?'
 "Can sing like bird!"
 Do you mean that you can or you can't?"
 'I can't"
 "Well, your sister is good girl, and 8 smart girl, and a courageous girl. She has saved me once, and if get into trouble I would rather have her near by than a sergeant and ten men," Reckon she giv' y tn hanshicuf ter send instead O written"
 Mark looked down into the stupid face of the boy beside him. He began to think that the childs stupidity was not flattering to himself, inasmuch as Jakey had penetrated further than he had into Souri's design, and her difi- dence as to confessing her ignorance.

country BOY MAKES
GOOD IN new YORK
SPLENDID COMEDY OF CITY LIFE
WILL BE STAGED At THE
BIJ4u.
Youth Goes to Metropolis Because
He Thinks Country Town 10 Too
Small For Him.

Henry B. Harris will present Ed.
gar Selwyn's big comedy hit, "The
Country Boy" at the Bijou Theater
next Wednesday evening. First pre-.
sented at the Liberty theater, New
York, this play enjoyed a run of five
months, which was followed by as,lo.
cession of crowded houses at Powers
theater, Chicago, for two months.
The company that will be seen here
IL an unusually strong one, and has
not undergone single change since
the metropolitan engagement.
1.-THE Country Boy' is in four acts
and concerns a youth who believes
his home town is not large enough
to hold him. Desiring greater op2or-
tunities, he leaves home, mother, and
a village sweetheart to try his luck
in New York. Finally he becomes so
desperate through his failure to find
work that he is ready to end it all,
when he is persuaded by fellow
boarder, a newspaper man, to try
again, and together they 60 back to
the country town and start news
paper which proves highly success
full.
The humor of the play is provided
by the different types of boarders
that are to be found at the boarding
house where the country boy lives
while in the city. The scene is said
to be one of the cleverest things
seen in a play in many seasons. The
excellent company which Mr.. Harris
has provided includes such we'll
known artists as Alfred Cooper,
Frank Mccormack, Doan Borup,
Frank E .Jamison, George Schaeher,
Olive Templeton, Elda Furry, Char
lotte Langdon and Nellie Fillmore.
