First Suffolk Liars Club Formed In Mattituck A liars club has been formed In our Tnldst and It should prove quite popular considering the number of eligible and prospective members walking the streets of our little vil- lage. A. story coming from Freddie Demmlng brought the idea to a head and in less time than that the club was formed. The Instigators had just returned from a quiet trip down south and felt public-spirited enough to start something of civic Interest. A facul- ty was promptly formed and Fred- die presented with a handsome cer- tificate, duly .signed, which he proudly displayed after giving vent to his thoughts. Tlie faculty consists of Profes- sors DeRonde, Harry Mason, Muff Wickham, Xassi Pylko, George Brown, Charles Coutts and Frank Remski. William Wickham has been appointed lep;a1 advisor and affixes his name to all papers with an hon- est-to-goodness loolclng legal flour- i.sh. This club meets every evening at The Paradise when Freddie's latest are considered and such other business which may come be- fore the chairman Is taken care of.

RIVERHEAD Lisbeth's Literary Localisms Diminutive little people of the North Fork— Wo of normal stature are fortun- ate, In that we have no particular physical handicap, as regards the accommodations of invention. Every thing is arranged for o>ir conven- ience ,and althougli there are cases where people are a l)lt abnormal, most of us suffer little from incon- venience, due to tho fact that all Inventors have in mind the average per.son and construct everything to conform to his size. When I think of some of the \little\ people 1 have known, it Is with the greatest admiration. Those with whom I have been in closo contact in my work before the public, have been on exhibition for financial gain,- and their lot was often a hard one. It is \vith pleasure that I write about some of those wonderful \little\ folks who lived on this fork of Long Island ,and accomplished as much, if not more, than hosts of people who have no physical hand- leap. At the head of Horton's Lane, In Oregon, in the Moore homestead, dwelt one of these diminutive peo- ple. He was the only one I did not know personally, but through the courtesy of his brother, Mr. Rens- salear Moore, who has lived to the good old oge of eighty-six, I have been informed about him, and have heard my mother tell of him and his imusual characteristics. He measured a little over two feet, his head coming just above the top of the average table. Mrs. Perry Haw- kins, a relative, has in her posses- sion, a coat that was worn by the little fellow, and had been made by a New York tailor. It was of very fine broadcloth, heavily lined, and the little round collar came up und^r the chin and buttoned down the center front: his very small feet necessitated having boots made to order, andd they were made by a shoe-maker in Peconic (the late Albert Tuthill's father). These tiny boots are still in existence, as are the miniature tools, a rake and a pitch-fork which his father had made to suit his height. Mr. Moore tells me the little fellow would go over the field, after fi.sh (the only fertilizer, then) were thrown from wagons on the land, and with that tiny pitch-fork distribute them evenly, making himself useful on the farm. Would that a camera might have caught the ambitious ittle chap at this duty. He was very musical and sang in the Cutchogue I'ro.sbyterian Church when the (Continued on next page) End of Sale Walk-Over and Flor- sholm Shoes for Women; broken sizes; $5.00 a pair.
