The machine didn’t amount to much. It represented In the lirst in stance an evidence of friendliness and in the s^p n d became an implement of warfare. It’s return to the giver was unannounced. It was merely placed over a low hedge on the prop erty of the man who gave it. W h ether or not the man who re ceived the gift anticipated that his unneighborly act would bring to *a crisis the trouble th a t existed Tie- tween himself and the man who lived next door, or whether he had not the heart to use it in full view of his quandam friend, is undetermined. The fact is that it incited a new bitterness that resulted in a combat and the ar rest of both men under charges of as sault. On Monday night the affair between the neighbors was aired before a court room full of men, women and children who slept in court and various curi ous persons who giggled during the proceedings. The court wisely deter mined upon the evidence that I tie man who set the lawn-mower across the hedge at night was guilty in that ho was the aggressor. When the one neighbor found the machine in the morning he threw it back. It hit the other in the leg. Then he threw it across the line again and followed it. There was a mix-up and a flower pot was broken over someone's head, somehow, somewhere. The wives of the men hastened to their respective husbands, one with a clothes pole. There was every evi dence of a free-for-all in various places on the lawn ami front stoop of the man who first gave the lawn-mower to his neighbor. The incident should never have hap pened whatever the cause. The neigh borly gift should never have been re turned. But if it was it should not have been thrown back. The alterca tion should never have occurred. It was a disgraceful exhibition on the part of both men. Differences between neighbors are not uncommon. They occur in every village throughout the land. But neighbors’ troubles are best settled between neighbors and out of court. There was never a lawn mower built that amounted to so much that it could not be overlooked where friend ships were concerned. Mrs. Philip Comstock, Suffragist, in her recent address in Freeport said a kind word or two about men, for which on behalf of the sex, gratitude is ex pressed. Even a little bit of molasses will attract. FOR SUM M E R HEALTH he spring campaign in the interest ummer public health begins prop- wlth a clean up.

AN ALW A Y S EM P T Y JU G Eugene W. Lane, Justice of the Peace at Manorville, may point witli peculiar pride to his record as an ad m inistrator of criminal justice. We venture to say that he comes nearer to 100 per cent perfect than any like official on Long Island. In three years he has not had occasion to issue a warrant, convene court, or assess a fine in a criminal case. His books are snow white. No offender lias darken ed the official door, or slept in the town calaboose. The \jug” is always empty. With some men, ambitions for a record of achievement and desirous of sitting in judgment, this protracted period of idleness might seem irksome hut Justice I.ane is content. The good name of his village is worth more to him than brief official glory. May Manorville grow better before it grows worse. Nassau County returned a majority against holding a constitutional con vention. But it will bo busy enough at convention time revising its county laws. KICK ’EM OUT Any man who in any way, immedi ately or remotely, lias been a party to highway grafting in any county in the State, ought to be summarily kick ed out of the political party to which lie belongs. There ought to be no room for the grafters in the Demo cratic party or the Progressive wing of the latter. When the act of kicking shall have been completed in due and ancient form, public announcement should of ficially made by the organizations to that effect, so that the fact may be made of record. Whenever the Hempstead town board finds occasion to turn official eye on the waterways of Hempstead Bay, It ought also to report on the run of fish. An underground conduit system for telephone wires will soon succeed the overhead pole connections between Freeport and Hempstead. The day is not far distant when all wires will be in conduits. Running wjre trouble to earth will not be a mere figure of speech after that. PH A R IO H !3 POLISH Charles R. Vebelmesser, a trickster who made Bayside his home until the criminal courts got hold of him has been convicted of larceny in the first degree for fravdulenty pulling the wool over the pyes of another Long Island man in « stock transaction. According to this gullable persons, the eminent Vebelmesser claimed to be in possesion of certain secrets of the Pharlohs, or, maybe It was of old Ramesls, relating to the manufacture of a furniture polish. Pharioh or Ramesis, whichever it was. appears to have desired the se cret process to become known through Bayside agencies several thousand years after their sad demise. The formula for the furniture polish was carefully written in Egyptian on a well-tanned skin of a Sahara gnat, and deposited under the southeast corner of the Pyramids, about an arm ’s length in. There it remained through all the centuries intervening between the passing of Ramesis and the com ing of Uebelmesser. One day a lugarned chap got down under the southeast corner aforemen tioned, drew forth the ancient writing and had it deciphered. The rest was easy—so very, very- easy. A company was formed to place the rare product of ancient Egypt on the market at a price within reach of all. It having become an axiom that \a sucker is born every minute” there was no difficulty—for awhile—in un loading stock and taking in the profits. But Uebelmesser played his hand too strong. He was piggish. He wanted too much. Hence his arrest, trial and conviction. It is not at all unlikely that other formulae lie under the other corners of the Pyramid. There will be other Uebelmessers and so long as the sucker birthrate remains stationary others will be defrauded. How strange it is that some men while hesitating to spend a twenty- five cen piece for a purely legitimate and worthy object, become eager to part with a fortime in some game which is fraudulent on its face. A squad of eight “trusties,\ all look ing very woe-be-gone; each with a lawn mower and the group guarded by an armed attendant, are working for Nassau County without compensation on the lawns of the court house this week. They are probably the only men who work for the county and re ceive nothing for their services. At night they are \put up” in the fine newly painted jail, where I hey are guarded still from all the big outside works. No -harm can come to them there. Most are familiar figures in and about the jail. Several have cut lawns (victi spring for twenty years back, having received their early train ing at Barnum Island.

It was apparent that he ex pected something, possibly a tomato from the hand of a street urchin or something in the brick variety. The wearer however seemed unconcerned with all else ’cept his own dapper apeparance and his tango gait. > — - ---------------- - There is wide speculation in Nassau County as to who is to compose the commission which will discuss a new charter fo rthe county and make re commendations to the Board of Super visors. The speculation however, con cerns the personnel of the commission and not its political completion. In this m atter it is apparent that the Su pervisors will choose men upon a ba sis of qualification be they Democrats, Republicans, Progressives, Independ ence Leaguers, Prohibitionists or La bor Leaguers, And the men who ac cept the commissionerships accept at the same time the large responsibility of planning for the future. It is mo mentous\ that they tackle the proposi tion with this in view. Sela Lodge Elects Quarterly Officers Sela Lodge, I. O. G.

Those who have taken adyantage of it are pleased to have secured probably the finest woman’s magazine published anywhere, the best short story read ing contained in any of the popular monthlies and the brightest livliest semi-weekly newspaper Nassau Coun ty has ever known. They am glad the opportunity presented itself when P did. To discriminating people Jie club subscription plan brings wiibin easy reach three publications that meet practically every need or d ;sire of Long Island readers. \Smart Slvles” is looked upon as authentic and au thoritative in its field. It docs not dictate styles, it presents them Ev ery woman who has read it with care- lias found some suggestion or perhaps many, that have made- he* dress indi vidual or her millinery distinctive. She lias had the extreme satisfaction ot being called fashionable, which has a meaning all its own to her. Through this btoutifuliy illustrated magazine she has been kept abreast with the fashion of the wo. 11. She knows what the women of Continental Europe are going to wear before the season opens; she is kept apprised of the world’s dress, its ultra sm art styles in everything that woman wears. But that is not all that ‘ S mart Styles” does for her—not by any mat ter of means. By a careful perusal of its varied articles, written especially by recognized authorities, she is kept in touch with the doings of society the world over. The most beautiful examples of photo reproducf.'on con tained in any magazine of its k !i;d are presented in each monthly issue There a delightful addition to the horary ta ble after it has been laid aside by the women folk. There is as pleasing to the male members of the nousef old as it is to her. Picked up casualty it is more entertaining than Pilgrims Prog ress. The sketches from Paris are so different from any thing that n: con tained in any other mafiazine Unit they attract, amuse, engage-. Net. infre quently have men been known to spend a restful hour looking at Paris fashions. Then, too, there is real amusement in the \boudoir chat's” and interesting and timely picture,; of so- cities representatives taken a ong the avenues in Manhattan, and I'm boule yards of Paris and elsewhere. When Young’s Magazine is spoken | of it is invariably in terms of praise. It stands out as a magazine ot grip ping stories; it has no Illustrations; it needs none. But it does com-tin stor ies that ring true to life, some of them humorous, others with a touch of pa thos. But all of them will ring true and many of them will strike v c y neat to home. The club offer is not a permanent one. It will be closed within i lie next two months. But w bile it lasts there is opportunity to secure the ihree at a real bargain price—nineyt-eight cents. It is a bargain becau.-c— The price of Smart S t y e s at the newsstand is twenty-five cents; for three months, seventy- five cents. The price of Young's Magazine, the single copy, is fifteen cents; for t h r e e months, forty-five cents. The Nassau Post on » three month's subscription costs seven ty cents. The cost of the three regularly , for three months is $1.90. The club subscription offer of The Nassau Post gives all three for ninety-eight cents. Of course it's a bargain.

Yoakum, at Farm- iugdale, on Sunday it was estimated that $2,500,000 damage has been done to the fine homes on ixjng Island re cently. The fire on the Yoakum estate start ed in the hay loft of the main barn and spread so rapidly that several other structures were burning before the one hundred employees on the estate could be marshalled into fire fighting forces. Eight outbuildings were de stroyed. The Yoakum family is not in the East now. but Mr. Yoakum’s secretary. William F. Hull, and Mrs. Hull were on the estate. Mrs*. Hull telephoned to Fanningdale and Central Park for aid, and fire apparatus from those places was hurried to tlie Yoakum es tate. They confined the blaze to the out buildings. Many prize cattle, horses and other kinds of farm stock were saved. U N I T E D AUTO SUPPLY CO.
