1. An effigy stuffed with straw; a scarecrow; hence, a man without property or influence. --Milton. [1913 Webster] 2. 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 PJC]
