AT OYSTER BAY
President Roosevelt the "Bsst Thing
That Ever Happened"
New York Trih,l

There.
New York Tribune
The town has grown wonderfully in the
last two years. Five business blocks Of
brick have gone up and one Is building.
The Independent Order Of Odd Fellows
has a new hall, with the three links done
In red, white and blue on the front.
Then there Is the building which for
two months this summer will be the vir-
tual capital Of the United States. For
executive offices the president has secured
the entire second floor and 1t Is now be-
ing fitted up for him. The blinds are al
ready hung, and the man who bought
them must have been color blind. No
sky ever showed brighter, more noisy
blue than those blinds. The building is
the Moore block, on one OF the four cor
ners about which Oyster Bay life throbs
It Is owned by the man who keeps the
grocery on the street floor
There have been other improvements
since the boom began. There Is a hum
dred feet OF cement sidewalk In front OF
the city hall. Gravel and sand did well
enough before. Hiram Smith has painted
his barn. The folk consider this rather
careless of Hiram. The photograph gal
lery still keeps open Just one afternoon
week.
It is impossible to rent or buy house
in Oyster Bay at this time, unless one
1s burning money and doesn't care what
he pays. It is surprising how many peo-
pie want to live IN the town the president
calls home. Realty prices have scared
Lots which would have been dear two
years ago at $500 are worth $1,000 now.
One piece OF property jumped from SO, 00e
to $4,000 while a New Yorker was think
ing Of taking an option. THE president
is the best thing that ever happened to
Oyster Bay is the general cry.
Prices do be high declared Deacon

IoAvES TOO BIG FOR OVENS.
Italian Women Take Their Dough tc
a Public Baker.

A familiar sight on Mulberry,
Elizabeth, and all the other
streets which the Italians have
taken possession of in this city,
says the New York Times, is an
Italian woman, carrying an i'm
mense loaf of bread as large
around as a dishpan. She is car.

make the -four into a number OF
loayes, which, put into one pan,
bakes into one great loaf. The
size of the family seems to make
no difference. If the family is
small, the bread simply lasts a lit
tie longer, and gets a little drier,
The bread is very good when fresh.
They do not use as much yeast as
American cooks, and the bread is
very crusty, something on the or

families also use a great deal Of

Getting Rid of Rats

After all other remedies fail,
there still remains a way Of get.
ting rid of rats, and that is by de.
priving them of water. They can
live for a very long time without
food, and when hard pressed will
not hesitate to eat each other, but
no rat can go "a hours without
drink. Therefore, if every possible
means of obtaining water is taken
from the rats they will desert the
vicinity.

IN A PELIcAN's NEST.
EsturalistS Spent the Night in the
Reef Of Birdland.

NAturaliStS spent the Night in the
Reef of Birdland.
With what satisfaction | recall
my visit to Bird Rock, that famous
resort for birds just within the
passage between Newfoundland
and Cape Breton. Audubon, in a
wave-tOssed schooner, lay off the
rock for hours in the vain hope
that he might effect a landing,
writes Frank M. Chapman, in the
Worlds Work, and one could
therefore appreciate weather
which permitted one safely to run
a boat onto the hands breadth of
beach beneath the bird-inhabited
walls towering more than a hun
dred feet above. The top was
reached by means of a crate, a
rake and a windless-apparatus
subsequently found most useful
in reaching points of vantage
whence to photograph birds nest
ing on the face of the cliff.
/ have not always been so for
tunate, however, and a trip to
study a colony of white p~elicans
wal attended by far from s~atisfac-
tory results. Size and color com
bine to make these birds exceed
ingly conspicuous, and an oppOr-
tunity to test a rife upon them is
rarely lost. Where man and gun
are found, therefore, the birds nest
in only the most isolated places.
This particular group of about 40
birds had selected an islet or, 10.
cally a "reef," so far out in ShOal
lake, Manitoba, that 1t was wholly.
Invisible from the shore. But
reach them we must, and the trip
Of four or five miles was made in
a 12-fOot punt, the bottom of
which could be wisely trod on only
with great caution. The reef was
reached and the splendid white
birds were found sitting on their
nests of sand and gravel. At our
approach they arose and, with
characteristic dignity of fight,
disappeared far down the lake. In
awaiting their return, concealed
in a small patch Of reeds, a sudden
change occurred in the weather
and soon we found ourselves pris
oners in pelican-land. Fortunate
ly we had a tent-tiy, which with a
push-pole, a pair of crossed oars,
and a camera tripod, would have
made a passable shelter under or.
binary circumstances. But in the
end the circumstances proved to
be extraordinary. The storm be-
came one to date from. Not only
were we forced to ballast our tent
with boulders, but, sitting, in a
pelican's nest, the only available
unfooded position, l passed a good
portion of the night with nv
hands clasped around the ridge
pole of our improvised shelter to
prevent the whole affair from
into the lake. Eventually
we reached the mainland, none
the worse for the experience, but
the pelicans, alas refused to share
their home with US, and in their
absence their eggs were devoured
by the western gulls that nestled
near them.

heard the conversation between Crea-
son and Mrs. Nelson. but did not hear
the former say the words attributed TO
him by the prosecuting witness.
There was much testimony brought
out as to trouble between the lady and
her husband, and much that was en-
tirely irrelevant to the case. On the
main point, as to whether the lady
was creating such a disturbance in
the saloon as would justify the propri.
etor in throwing her out. that seemed
to be embodied in her husbands
threat TO strike her. AS to the man.
ner. gentle or otherwise. in which she
was put out, ii was the lady's word
against the field. and the jury seems
to have been ungallant enough to
take the field.
As an addenda to the case. II may be
mentioned that Nelson spent part of
Thursday night in Jail after ginning
up to the point of kicking down the
door Of the room occupied by his wife
at the Blanco.
