N£IOHBOBL<Y aUA&RELS
Two neighbors In Freeport, once friends, quarreled on Sunday, over a lawn mower which had been giveu by one to the other when they were on terms of peace and returned at night and without ceremony after the breach came. The machine didn't amount to much. It represented in thu lirat in¬ stance an evidence of friendliness and In the sej;pnd became an implement of warfare. It'8 return to tho giver was unannotinciHl. It was merely placed over a low hedge on the prop¬ erty of the man -who gave It.
¦Whether or not th\9 man who re¬ ceived the gift anticipated that his unnelghborly act would bring to 'a crisis the trouble that exi8lea"'Be^ tween himself and the man who lived next door, or whether he had not the heart to use it In full view ot his quandam friend, is undetermined. The fact is that it Incited a now bitternes.s that resulted in a combat and the ar¬ rest ot both men under (^barges of as¬ sault.
On Monday night the afl'air between the neighbors was aired before a court room full of men, women and children who slept in court and various curi¬ oua persons who giggled during the proceedings. The court wisely deter¬ mined upon thc evidence that the 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 il acrosa 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 ot tho men liastened to their respective husbands, one with a clothes pole. Thero was every evi¬ dence of a free-for-all in various places on tbe lawn and 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 hack. Tho alterca¬ tion should never havo occurred. It was a disgraceful exhibition on the part of both men.
Differences betweeu neighbors are not uncommon. They occur In every village throughout the land. But neighbors' troubles are best settled between neighbors nnd out ot court. There ¦was never a lawn mower built that amounted to so much that it could not be overlooked "w^hcrc friend¬ ships were concerned.

JiN AL"WrAYS EMPTY JUG
Eugene W. Lane, Justice of the Peace at Manorville, may point with peculiar pride to his record as an ad- niinisfrator 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 has darken¬ ed tho official door, or slept in the lown calaboose. The "jug" is always empty.
Wilh some incn. ambitions for a record of achievement and desirous of sitting in judgment, this iirotractod period of idleness might seem irksome but Jusiice Lane is content. The good name of his village Is worlh more to him than brief nlUcial glory.
May Manorville grow better before it grows worse.
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 groat, 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 I'ebelniesser.
One day a lugarned chap got down under the southeast comer aforemen¬ tioned, drew forth the ancient writing :md 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 Uebelrnesser played his hand loo strong. He was piggish. He wanted loo 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 I,'ebeImeB)5erB and so long aa the sucker birthrate remains stationary others will be defrauded.
How strange it is that some men while hesitating to spend a twenty- flve cen piece for a purely legitimate and worthy object, become eager to part with a fortune in some game which Is fraudulent on its face.
A s(4uad of eight "tru.stie.--. " all look¬ ing very woe-begone; eath with a lawn mower and the group guarded by an armed attendant, are working fori .Nassau County without compensation I on the lawns of the court house this j week. They are probably the only ! rnen who work for the county and re¬ ceive nothing for their services. At night they are "put uii" in the line newly painted jail, where ihcy are guarded still from all the big outside works. No <iarm can (ouic to them there. Most are familiar ligures In and about the jail. Scveml bave cut lawns eiich spring for twenty years back, having received their early train¬ ing at liai-num Islaud.
It may mean nothing to the people- of Hempstead vjUage or the township, but the first straw hat of the season v^as seen in that village this year. It adorned the kinky head of -a beau
of color« who strode through Fulton street jauntily shortly after three o'cloclft He was accompanied by a rather brawny individual whose alert eyes turne^d intermittently from the hat—a creation in fancy mixed sen¬ net and rough straw—to the passing throng. 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 apeparante and his tango gait.

FOB SUMMER HEALTH
The spring campaign In the interest of summer public health begins prop¬ erly with a clean up. Modern medi¬ cal practice gives even larger thought to preventing sickness than It does to curing It. The clean up campaign has for its one big object keeping people well by preventing them from becpm- ing in.
Hero are ten planks in the cleanup campaign. They apply with equal force to city and village. Freeport ougbt to put them In force today:

Nassau Counly returned a majority against lioldin,g a constitutional con¬ vention. Hut it will bo busy enough at convention time revising its counly laws.
KICK "EM OUT
Any man who in any way, ininiedi¬ ateiy or remotely, has been a party to highway grafting in auy county in the State, ought to be summarily kick¬ ed out of the political party to which he belongs. Thore ought to be no room for tho 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 rerord.
Whenever tho Hempatead town board flnds occasion to turn ofllcial eye on the waterways ot Hempstead Bay, it ought also to report on the run of fish.
.\n 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.
FHARIOH'3 POLISH
Charles R. Vebelmesser, a trickster who made Bayside his home until tho criminal courts got hold of him has been convicted of larceny in the flrst degree for fraudulenty pulling the wool over thr eyes ot another Long island man In n stock transaction.
According to thla gullable persons, the eminent Vebelmesser clainied to be In possesion of certain secrets of the Phariohs, or, maybe It was of old Ramesis, relating to the manufactare
agazJnes Itnd The Nassau Post at a p;ice that is materially less than the cost of the books alone, there appears lo be no need for further ex ilanation concerning the proposilion. Those who have taken ad-yantago ot it ar(! pleased to have secured probably thc finest woman's magazine publisheu anywlu^re, the best short story read¬ ing contained In ariy of the popular monthlies and the brightest livllest semi-v^eekly newspaper Nassnii Coun¬ ty has ever known. They are K'ad tht opportunity presenled itself when i^ did.
To disiriminating people Jie club subscription plan brings wii'iin easy reach tbree publication; thar meet Iiractically every need or d ;sire of Long Island readers. "Smart Stvles" is looked upon as authentic and au¬ thoritative in its fleld. It does not dictate styles, it presents theni Ev¬ ery woman who has read it wiHi care bas found some sugj-estion or perhaps many, that have made'he* Jiess indi¬ vidual or her millin?ry distinctive. She has had the e.xtremo satisfaction of being called fashionable, wli:cli l;as a meaning all its own to her.
Through this btoutifuily I'.l'.-sfrated magazine she has been kepc abreast with the fashion of the wo. 11. Sho knows what the women of Coiifinental Europe are going to wear before tht; season opens; she is kept' apprised oC the world's dress, Ita ultra smtrt styles in everything that woman wears.
But that is not all that 'Smart Styles" does for he;'—not by any mat¬ ter of means. By a careful piM'usal of its varied articles, written especially by recognized authorities, sh.' is kept In touch with tho doin!;s ot society tho world over. The most ficautlful examples of pholo reproduci ;,ori con¬ tained in any magazine of ils Jv-i.d are
There is wide speculation in .Nassau County as to who is to compose the eomnilsslon which will discuss a new charter fo rthe counly 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 matter It is apparent that the Su¬ pervisors will choose men upon a ba¬ sis of (pialification be they Democrats. Republicans, I'rogressives, Independ ence Leaguers. Prohibitionists or La¬ bor Leaguers. And the men who ac¬ cept the coiumisaiouerships accept at the same time the large responsibility of plaunipg for the future. It is iiio- nientous" that they tackle the j)rop(mi tlon with this in view.

it is to her. Picked up casualty it is more entertaining than Pilgiimh Prog¬ ress. The sketches from Paris are so different from any thing that is: con¬ tained in any other n:afiazine that they attract, amuse, eugage-. Not infre- ouontly have men been known to spend a restful hour lookinT; r.i Paris fashions. Then, loo, thero is real amusement in the "boudoir dials" and interesting and iiii;( ly picture.', of so- cilies representatives taken a ong tho avenues in Manhattan, and C'e boule vards of I'aris and elsewhere.

Uut it does coin/iin stor¬ ies that ring true to life, :,onie of them, humorous, others vith <\ toucii of pa¬ thos. But all of tbem will ring true and many of them will strike veiy near to home.
The club offer is not a p( iiuanent one. It will he cli).=cd within Uie next two months. Uut while it l.iris there is opportunity to secure the ihree at a real bargain price-nl'uyt-eight cenls. It is a bargain becaii.-'-!— The price of Smart Styes at
the newsstand is tvventy.five
cents; for three months, leventy-
five cents.
The price of "Voung's ^.a^azine,
the single copy, is fifteen cents;
for three months, forty-five cents. The Nassau Post on » three
month's subscription costs seven¬ ty cents.
Tbe cost of the three regularly
for three months is $1.90.
The club subscription cffer of
The Nassau Pojt gives all three
for ninety-einht cents.
Of course it's a bargain.

GREAT nRE DAMAGE TO L I. ESTATES
Following the ?40.(!00 fire on tbe es¬ tate of Benjamin K. Yoakum, at Farm¬ ingdale, on Sunday it was estimated tbat $2,.500,O0O damage has been done to the line homes on Ixing Isiand n^- 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 lire fighting forces. Eight outbuildings were de¬ stroyed.
The Yoakum family is not in the I>ast now. but Mr. Yoakum's secretary. William F. Hull, and .Mrs. Hull were on the estate. .Mrs. Hull telephoned to Farmingdale and Central Park for aid. and hre apparatus from those places was hurri»!d lo Ihe Yoakutu es¬ lale.
They confined thc blaze to the out buildings. Many prize cattle, horses and other kinds of farm stock were saved.
