for drinking-the first day we were on
French soil, on the train from Cher
bourg to Paris, my friend asked for
water, just ordinary, straight water,
and the waiter, after finally compre-
bending, exclaimed in blank surprise:
''Vazzer! Vazzer from re pumpa?"
Even the hostess of the Pension
Famille," when my friend declined
wine and beer, and asked for eau ma
turel," exclaimed, Eau naturel! Oh,
guelle misere."
There is a man selling paper lamp
shades. He tries to gain the interest
of the public by singing out sort of
half laughing domestic grievance,
'C'est moi qui fails, C'est moi qui vends,

lette. Otis l who make tbs | who
sell, tbs my wife who keeps the
purse.) There is such bluff gaiety,
such a broad sense of humor about the
man that l cannot but smile as look
at him and he, catching the smile,
looks up and laughingly filings out his
little song at me as he passes.

and residents of Flushing had the
place marked. Fox lane therefore
takes it's name from George Fox.
A few blocks from this little monu-
ment is a square wooden building
standing on Broadway, with it's back
to the street line. This is the Quaker
meeting house, and black numbers un-
der a rear window give the year of it's
erection as 1895.
The building stands to-day as it did
when completed. The interior Is in
just as good condition as the exterior
and last week there gathered within
it's ancient walls the representatives
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union in Queens and Nassau counties
for the purpose of holding a conven-
ton.
Flushing was originally settled by
Quakers, and so far as historians have
been. able to verify it, the date OF set
tlement was about 1913. Unfortun-
ately all the early records, including
the original patent, were destroyed in
a fire that swept through the village
in 1898. Gov. Kieft granted the char

James Graham issued an exemplifica.

some English refugees found shelter.
In time the name became "Ffiissin-

Within three years after the people
of Vlissingen received their charter

EARLY DAYS OF QUAKER
LIFE In THIS COUNTRY
Meeting House Erected 10 1895 Still Stands in Flushing New
York Believers Suffered Much from Intolerance Of Dutch and
English Governors

At the corner of Fox lane and Bovine
avenue, Flushing, stands an old-fash-
toned dwelling, Under a small win
dow in the west end of the building
and close to the slipping roof is the
date 1861" in deep black figures.
The dwelling, still in an excellent
state of preservation, was the first
large house built in Flushing when It
was settled more than two centuries
ago. John Bovine was its builder, and
the highway running alongside of it
was named for him.
Near the curb line of Bovine avenue
and almost directly opposite the home
of John Bovine is a small granite
monument. FIVE inches square on top,
like those used by surveyors. Cut in
the top are these words: Fox Oaks"
This little stone marks the site Of
a big oak tree under which George
Fox, the Quaker, held open-air meet
ings. The tree and one like it were
destroyed by a storm some years ago,

to the West India company in Amster-

prove the arbitrary methods followed
in his case and not only treated him
well, but sent a message to Gov. Stuy-

Prosecutions of the Quakers con-
tlnued under British rule. An instance
in point was the case of Samuel Bow
mas, a missionary preacher.
At the half-yearly meeting held in
the Quaker meeting house on Nov 30,
1902, Bownas was placed under arrest
and his case was taken before the
grand jury. After hearing the evil
dence that body returned q bill in
dorsed "Ignoramus." The presiding
judge rebuked the grand Jury for their
action and sent the case back to them,
and a second time the bill was re-
turned with the same Endorsement.
The grand jury we're discharged and
Bownas was sent to Jail, where he re.

His Ancestors.

The eight-year-old grandson of the
senior senator from New York
greeted his mother, upon his return
from his school one day, by telling her
that there was another boy at the
school who had twelve grandparents.
Now why should he have so many
when have had only four?" he asked.
why, my son." his mother replied
in conciliatory manner, you have
had just as many grandparents as
any boy living, and you can tell that
boy that your grandfather way, way
back was Adam himself"
This seemed to please the young
ster, who stood thoughtfully for a
minute, and then propounded to his
mother the problem, very difficult of
solution:
Was Adam Plat or a Phelps?"

was again submitted to the grand jury
and they returned bill Endorsed zig

charged, and the following day the
prisoner received his liberty amid
great rejoicings on the part of his
friends and followers. While in Jail
Bownas was taught to repair shoes by
a sympathetic village cobbler.
There are many Quaker families liv-
ing on Long Island who are direct de-
scendants of the first settlers of Flush

houses were erected at other points
and several of them are still used for
services. Many members of these
