CIDE DICTIONARY

jackstrawn. 
  •  An effigy stuffed with straw; a scarecrow; hence, a man without property or influence.  Milton.  [1913 Webster]
  •  One of a set of straws of strips of ivory, bone, wood, etc., for playing a child's game, the jackstraws being thrown confusedly together on a table, to be gathered up singly by a hooked instrument, without touching or disturbing the rest of the pile. See Spilikin. A modern variation, called pick-up-sticks (U.S. 1940+), is played with thin wooden sticks of different colors, each color having different values for scoring; the sticks are dislodged from the pile with the hand or with one of the sticks.  [1913 Webster]
