rOMCE MILITARY RELICS.
Compelled to Wear Brass ISuttorw
and lie Easy Targets.
Practically all armies now havu
uniforms cf khaki or other Incon
spicuous material for active fight
ing. Bras3 buttons have disappeared
frith the scarlet coats in which Eas
Uah soldiers made themselves tar
gets for American Indians a century
and a' half ago. Even the parade uni
forms of modern troops are quiet.
But one place brass buttons hold
their own. The policeman in most
Countries, and especially in the Uni
ted States, have to wear them on pa
fade and on the firing line. Tho
thought of a policeman In his dou
ble row of brass buttons is as pleas
ant to the burglar, the hold-up raan,
the street beggar and crookdom gen
ially as was the sight of Braddock'a
regulars to the Indians who am
bushed them near Fort Duquesne in
1776.
Much of a patrolman's night work
consists of prowling around dark &
leys and back doors in deserted busi
ness districts. Ha is permitted to
wear rubber-heeled shoes, and can
be more or less silent. He can lurk
tn shadows and often get tho start of
4 stealthy crook. But the moment ho
steps into a street light or even
comes up an alley in the dark he Is
as visible as though he were illumi
nated.' His double row of brass but
tons mako him not only a walking
ign post on the darkest night, but
''but also a plain target If It comes
to shooting.
The rights of the soldier tho. world
over to offer as inconspicuous ft
hooting mark as possible have been
universally admitted. But the Indus
trious policeman is ctill hampered by
in antiquated tradition In the matter
Of uniform. He is a military anach
ronism. Telephone Stops Log .Tarns.
When Alexander Graham Bell
poke his first message over the tele
thons, thirty year3 ago, he had no
idea that the instrument would be
ttsed to break '"log jams," the terri
ble bano of the logman's career. No
jporo Interesting incident of the in
vasion of modern Invention Into ths
pathless to&ct than hor, the te!e-rjhone-'
thus saves hundred . of Uvea
SCach year has boon told for many a
Anv Tr HPo nf t.V- InTnnn tho
hardy work of fc-Ilinrr trees and tho
perilous task of floating them down
streams to the sawmill presen'R a
gceno Into which it scarcely seems
the Ingenious Inventor would ever
break his way. But tho telephone has
made log jams an event of tho paet.
The passing of tho log Jam is an
occasion of rejoicing by the wood
man, but not to tho devotee of pic
turesque scenes of the woods. It is a
wonderful eight to sec the lc,-3 piled
lather in a rushing stream, nnd if. is a
hrilling spectacle to watch the dur
ing woodsman cut away the lor? that
"fa the key to the jam nnd then as the
JSoga begin to move see him ship nim
bly over the moving pioccs of tiai
ber to safety ca the shore. Now,
piowever, the man who makes hi?i an
nual trip Into the woods of Maine or
Panada to watch the logman brin.;
ie fruits of a winter's work down a
Snountain stream will bo dipanpoir.t
pd. Tho Jams are never remitted to
form. At the firct sign of a elog ono
M the men patrolling the banks of
he river telephones upstream to
have the flow of logs ctopped in tho
lulet stretches, called "trips." Ia
this way tho Jams are nipped iu the
bud. As soon as the incipient trouble
i over the men along the trips r.re
iotlfied by telephone and the stream
sf log3 moves along again.
Tery form of distressing ailuaDt known
ft riles originates hit rnally. The real cause
