LUCKY WORKER GETS BUTTON
Rather Odd Way by Which Employer
Selects Longshoremen for Par.
ticular Job He Has.
The ancient game of ‘‘Button, button,
who has the button?’’ Is played by
serious groups of men dally along the
New York water front. A small crowd
may he seen gathered about a wagon
from which a man distributes the but
tons. The men who get the buttons
win.
The man in the wagon with the
buttons, as a matter of fact, Is choos
ing workmen, and finds the button
game a convenient scheme for making
his choice. The plan is commonly
used In selecting longshoremen to
work cargoes on the ships. At an
early hour longshoremen hunting jobs
gather about the dock entrances. The
man who needs workers takes his po
sitlon In a wagon, or perhaps on a box,
and calls for workmen. The crowd
gathers about him.
From his position the employer can
see the face and figures of the men.
From long experience he can tell at
a glance which inen best serve his
purpose. He makes up his mind In a
moment's Inspection. To signal the
man and get him out of the crowd
would require time and lead to compli
cations. He merely flips u button or
small disk to the iaan he bus selected.
The man catches It and makes his way
out of the crowd to the dock. The
button gumo is a great saver of time.
KANGAROO A NATURAL BOXER
Youngsters Are Taught by Their Par
ents and Acquire a Really High
Degree of Efficiency.
Kangaroos ure natural boxers. The
younger kangaroo is taught to de
fend himself in this way as soon as
he Is old enough to hop about. Nat
uralists who have watched the ani
mals in their native surroundings say
It is very funny to see the mother
giving the youngster his first boxing
lessons. Afterward the father takes
up the teaching, and with much gentle
ness and patience truins him to box.
When kangaroos box they hack off
and rush In und prance about very
skillfully. Each one watches for an
opportunity to strike, and at the same
time tries to prevent the other
from striking. They cleverly try to
move about so as to get the enemy
below them on the slope of a hill.
The resounding blows they give with
their hind feet can be heurd far away.
The kungaroo fights like a gentle
man. He Is a good sportsman, even
when he is fighting with his enemy.
The animals strike with the fiat of the
foot, and never use aguinst each
other their terrible ripping claws.
First Train Into the Ozark.
When the White ltiver branch of the
Missouri Pacific railroad was built
down through the Oxarks, the popula
tion had never seen a railroad train.
The platform was crowded, and many
women were there with their sun
shades.
The engineer made n lot of unnec
essary suortlngs with his engine and
would reverse the throttle, causing the
wheels to spin around, which terrified
the people. Then he turned on the
side valves, blowing out great jets of
steam, and the people almost fell over
themselves to back out of the way.
Finally the engineer stuck Ills head
out of the cab window and sang out:
“if some of you ladles don't put down
your parasols I don’t believe I can
handle this critter much longer.’’
In three seconds every woman low
ered her parasol, and they seemed
much relieved when the engineer got
his train In motion without further
trouble and went lumbering away
down the track. —Columbus (Kan.) Ad
vocate.
Coal and Manchu’s Ghost.
The Fushun coal mine of China Is
one of the largest open-cut mines In
the world. The Tartars are known to
have worked the mine In the Twelfth
century.
For years the Chinese have been
to work the mine, but Chinese
officialdom has always pointed to the
fact that the spirit of Tal-Tsu-Kao, a
Munchu emperor, who was buried 10
miles away in the Seventeenth century
must not he disturbed. Thus for cen
turies superstition kept over 1,000,-
000.000 tons of coal untouched. In
their efforts to open the mines, the
Japanese not only found great official
hostility to their scheme on the part
of the Chinese officials, but even the
native coolies were reluctant‘at first
to work, through their fear of the
sleeping Tal-Tsu-Kao, 10 miles distant.
Rainbows Shaken.
It is usually supposed thut the down
pour of rain that sometimes follows a
Hash of lightning is due t<> the coa
lesence of fine drops on losing their
electrical charge, but a Finnish ob
server concludes that the thunder jars
the drops together. Near Vasa a heavy
thunderstorm came up from the east
late one afternoon, and, as the sun
was unclouded, a brilliant double rain
bow appeared in the east for half an
hour, arching from horizon to horizon.
At each roll of thunder the rainbows
seemed to be much shaken, the wedge
being displaced and the colors blurred.
This could not be due to the lightning,
and it seemed that the same cause
might enlarge the raindrops and dis
turb the rainbow.

“Pancake Night” Old World
Period of Rejoicing.
Also Time of Fear for Bachelors Able
But Not Willing to Take Unto
Themselves Brides.
In the Old World the last night of
Shrovetide, the night of February 28,
the time of many marriages, is a gen
eral night of rejoicing and merrymak
ing, writes Katherine Edelman In the
Kansas City Star. With the long
days of Lent looming ahead, youth
strives to filch as much joy as possible
from the fleeting hours. And so in
every home, until the clocks chime the
midnight hour, there is a good time for
old and young.
The man of the house, gathering a
few of his old cronies together, takes
an extra smoke or two from his pipe,
the pipe which he bids the good woman
of the house hide away before retiring
on that night, and which he sees not
again until the Easter sun comes up
over the hills. On this night, too, comes
a welcome opportunity to toast the
health of any young married couples
present, and there are always a few
of them, for in every community there
are dozens of weddings during Shrove
tide.
Pancake night, as the name Implies,.
Is also the night on which a huge pan
cake Is mixed up to be baked and cut
after thp hours of dance and song are
ended. The pancake is usually stirred
up by the woman of the house and In
addition to the things that go to make
it palatable, there is stirred into it a
number of articles, any one of which
will determine the fate of the one who
gets it in the portion served them. A
wedding ring, a silver sixpence and a
button are the articles usually mixed in
the cake batter. And lucky indeed is
considered the maiden who finds the
wedding ring in the portion of pancake
served her. For the Fates have willed
that before a year passes she will he
led to the altar. In marked contrast
looms the future of the one to whom
comes the button, for to her will never
come the joyous peal of wedding bells,
her lot is to walk alone through life’s
ways. The sixpenny piece, which fore
tells wealth to whoever may find It,
is of course not at all despised.
Pancake night is a time when all
tardy bachelors begin to fear for the
morrow, because for several days after
this night life becomes almost a burden
for him who could, hut did not take un
to himself a wife. From the small
boy up to the tottering grandad all
conspire to make him see the error of
his ways, and very often in con
sequence, when Eastertlme comes he
Is one of the first to lead a blushing
bride to the altar. And because of
this, very often the maiden who was
lucky enough to find the wedding ring
in her portion of pancake Shrove
Tuesday. Is led to the altar before
even the allotted time for the fulfill
ment of the prophecy has passed, there
by fixing more firmly in the minds of
her companions the truth of the things
the Shrove Tuesday pancake tells.
Duration of Life Prolonged.
Since 1909, according to the findings
of the American emergency council’s
committee on elimination of waste in
Industry, the duration of life has
lengthened by five years and the na
tion lias benefited to the extent of
millions of dollars by lessened dis
ability and sickness. There is still
a standing sick list of 2.400,000 per
sons. but this is a marked reduction
from the 3,000.000 of 1900. The im
provement is due, not to any physical
advance of the race, but to “a mitiga
tion of the struggle for existence and
a protection of the community from
communicable disease.” A survey of
five basic industries shows that the
average individual now loses only
seven days annually from sickness, as
compared with 13 days in 1909.

“Your honor, I was just crawling

“It’s rather curious that most of
the people who are charged in this
court with siee<ling say they were

“Your honor, I’m a professional avi
ator. An ordinary observer might
have thought my car was traveling at
high speed, but to me it was crawl

“Ahem! I understand your point of
view exactly, and out of respect to
your hazardous profession, where
speed is essential to safety, I’ll fine
you $25 for crawling.”
Record Maine Salmon.
What is supposed to be the largest
landlocked salmon ever taken with
hook and line from a Maine lake or
pond was caught at Greene lake by
Luther Moore, an employee of the
United States government fish hatch
ery. and weighed 16% -pounds.
Nothing to equal this for a sal
mon has ever been heard of in east
ern Maine, and so far as known now
it is the biggest on record. One Ban
gor man said that he had beard of
one weighing 15 pounds being caught
with hook and line at Green lake, but
that was in the dim and misty past.
