THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939 T H E WATCHMAN PAGE THREE Lisbeth s Literary Localisms A strange sight in our Eastern States is the “burro”, one of the mule family; and stranger still, to me, is little black \Longshot oflfspring of one of these breeds, at the stables of J. H. Zenzius of Mattituck. The little fellow is live days old at time of writing, and his long ears are nearly as large as the rest of him. His stiff little legs are so awkward as are all young animals of the beast- of-burden species, but they do not hinder him from capering about in lively manner. Some of my readers will re member “Miss Pike”, a familiar sight to us in our childhood. She was a thoroughbred of her kind, and was owned by the Moore family of Cutchogue. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Moore were on a trip out West, and at Pike’s Peak in Colorado, purchased \Miss Pike” and had her shipped home to their children. What a curio sity she was! She was usually hitched to a yellow basket-wagon and the Moore children were back and forth from the bay to the village many times, drawn by this unique steed. She was of a solid grey color except for the black cross on her back, a sign of good breeding. Mrs. C. P. Hawkins, <>ne of the Moore cousins, recalls some of lyTiss Pike’s eccentricities, and one that was outstanding was her “temperament.” She was not always inclined to go when given the usual signal, and many were the methods tried, id persuade her to take her passengers on their way. One was to din on a pan, and if Mrs. Hawkins’ little tan dog happened to be with them and would keep in the lead, Miss Pike would follow unhesitatingly, but when she was not in the mood, she would stand in her tracks and often emit that unearthly sound, Hee Haw!!! If the dog made a 4ash across the fields, over the same route went Miss Pike, and no amount of persuasion could prevent her. The amount of territory she could cover was naturally limited as she was not very fleet of foot, and I recall her tiny steps as she trotted along the highway. She was able to go around by New Suffolk on the way home to Quawks Nest, the summer home of the Moores on the bay, but on one of these trips she caused con siderable damage when a horse became frightened at the strange sight of this unusual animal and ran away, with disastrous results to the carriage and its occupants. If you have not seen the little black fellow at the stables of Mr. Zenzius, make^ a special trip, as he is worth while. People are coming from many miles around to see this strange little animal. While on the subject of strange animals, let me relate a true story of a happening on Eastern Long Island a good many years ago. There were great preparations going on in a farm house in the neighborhood of Cutchogue. A wedding was about to take place, and such an event meant a house filled with guests, and lots of food to be prepared for a great feast for them. For some reason, one item, on the list of things needed, was not purchased, and at the last moment someone had to be sent to the village for it. This arrand fell to the lot of a young boy making his home with the family, and, dressed in his best attire, he set forth across the fields instead of the well traveled highway, as it would be a short cut and save time. He reached the village without mishap and had started back across the fields when to his dismay he met Mr. Polecat. This animal is blessed with protection of a most pungent order (or odor), and the boy, coming upon the animal suddenly, was given a sample of the cre ature’s ability to take care of itself. Needless to say, the boy’s clothing had to be buried, and it is doubtful whether or not he was able to clear himself of the mis hap to be a participant at the wedding. LISBETH.

This is about the only disturbing factor in an otherwise satisfactory situation, according to ideas ex pressed by most Maine growers and shippers. Several reasons are advanced for the light shipments but gen eral consideration is given to the fact that the growers are con vinced Maine has a very light crop and they are in no hurry to sell. During the last week or ten days many growers Have been busy finishing up digging oper ations and placing the majority of their potatoes in storage. From reports received from the towns throughout the county, it is apparent there is a great deal of unused storage both at track- side and on the farms. Apparent ly this is an indication that the crop is even lighter than reported in the last estimate. - bered about a thousand men, wa.‘ financially embarrassed for some time. The chest contained all the funds available to the command ant, who was both Marine Corps leader and paymaster. For many years workmen die ging in the yard during building operations have hoped that their spades would strike an iron- bound chest, and the mystery fi nally would be solved. Thus far, the secret cache, if it exists, has not been revealed. THE TREASURE CHEST MYSTERY Buried treasure, hidden for nearly a century and a quarter, j may some day be located near' the Marine Barracks in Washing- j ton, D. C., and its discovery would j unravel a mystery that the U. S. Marines have been trying to solve ' since the War of 1812. ' The “treasure,” amounting to some $25,000, consisted of funds to meet the pay roll of the Mar ines, and it, along with other val uable trophies and documents, was kept in a military box in the commandant’s house, one of the oldest official buildings in Wash ington. According to a Marine Corps legend, when the capital was pre paring to meet the invasion ol the British in 1814, the two mar ine sergeants who guarded the strong-box carefully dug a hole in a certain part of the yard, and buried it. They failed to disclose the location of the spot and rushed off to take part in the Battle of Bladensburg, where both were killed. Efforts to locate the missing strong-box failed, and the Marine Corps, which at that time num- ADVERTI8E IN THE W A T C H M A N I A HAVEN IN A STORM ‘j* War clouds have darkened the economic skies and have increased the feeling of un certainty or insecurity in the public m ind causing inde cision regarding personal es tate plans.
