SHOOTING AT NEW DORP.
William Steele, Victim of Bullet,
WOuId Let Matter DrOD.

Would Let Matter Drop.
New Dorp is greatly excited over
the shooting Friday night last of
William Steele, a prominent resident
of the place, and who for many years
was connected with the Staten ISL
and Rapid Transit Railroad Com
pany.
Steele refused to discuss the affair.
but when the police learned that
there had been a shooting they at
once started an investigation and ar
rested Hugh Mckee, forty-six years
old, a plumber of the town, and
arraigned' him before Magistrate
Marsh, of Stapleton, yesterday after
noon. Steele did not appear to-
make a complaint and Mckee was
paroled for examination on Friday
morning, when the police will COM
pei Steele to appear against him.
According to Mckee, the shooting
was the result of an attack made by
Steele on McKee's sister, Laura, last
Thursday night. Steele called on the
young woman, and as he was highly
respected he was received gracious
ly. Miss McKee's mother was very
i'll in a Don upstairs and she and
Steele were alone in the parlor.
steele, according 10 tne SlTl, dltehipl-
ed to take liberties with her, and
when she resisted his efforts he
struck her and left the house.
Miss Mckee told her brother of the
assault when he returned home that
evening and the latter went out to
look for Steele. He met him at New
Dorp lane, near the railroad cross
ing, and shot him, the bullet pene-
trating the leshy part of the right
shoulder. Steele ran away and con-
suited a physician, who tried to To-
cate the bullet, but without success-
Steele is inclined to let the matter
drop, but the police will compel him
to make a complaint against his as
sailant, and in the meantime Miss
Mckee will make a charge of assault
against Steele. The prominence OF
all concerned is such that the village
of New Dorp is divided in the matter.

FLETCHERISM.

What Should One Eat and How
Should 1t he Eateng
Henry Ward Beecher made the re-
mark once in talking with friends on
helpful Christianity that good eating
and sound digestion were positively
needed to insure the kind of Christian
ity Christ taught"
What shall or dare l eat?" Is a seri-
GUS question with many mothers. Hor-
ace Fletcher tried to answer the Ques-
ton with a view to helping the largest
number of people putting the query.
He said:
Eat only in response to an actual
appetite, which will be satisfied with
plain bread and butter.
"Chew all solid food until it Is liquid
and practically swallows itself.
"Sip and taste all liquids that have
taste, such as soup, lemonade, etc. Wa
ter has no taste and can be swallowed
Immediately.
'Never take food while angry or wor-
ried and only vixen calm. Waiting for
the mood in connection with the appe-
tite is a speedy cure for both anger and
worry.
Remember and practice the above
four rules, and your teeth and your
health will be fine"
These rules some time ago became
known as "Fletcherism' and are being
practiced by many who favor them.
They cannot be harmful. and they GER
tainly are helpful. - Mothers Maya

Rapid Growing Fungus.

In "Recollections of a Happy Life"
Miss North describes many Of her
young enthusiasms and among others
that Of collecting and painting English
fungi. On one outing. she says. came
upon a fungus about the size of large
turkeys egg. Eager to see it develop,
l took it up carefully and carried it
home l put it under tumbler on
the window sill Of my bedroom at
night At daylight 1 was awakened
by a horrible crash Of splintering
glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen
to the floor and broken to bits. The
fungus was standing five inches tall.
having Matched itself free from its re-
straining egglike shell and in grow
ing had raised the tumbler and tilted
it sidewise until it fell over and to the
floor The fungus had a horrible smell,
and soon a swarm of flies were hover
ing over it.

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
1t Was Invented by KavOl kOwates
Pesth Shoemaker.

1t Was Invented by KavOl kOvvates,
a Pesth Shoemaker.
Kavol Kowates, a Pesth shoemaker,
invented the meerschaum pipe. He
died in 1764. A large piece of meer-
schaum was brought to Pesth by
Count Andrassy in 1928. 1t had been
given to the count in Turkey. He
fetched it home because, as piece
of white clay of extraordinarily light
specific gravity, it pleased him.
Kavol Kowates was noted in Pesth
for his skill in carving, and Count
Andrassy took his chunk of light white
clay to him and said:
Make, fellow, something pretty out
of this
The ingenious Kavol, a great smok-
er. thought that the porousness Of the
white clay adapted it we'll for pipes,
and accordingly he made two from it,
one for himself and one for Count
AndrassEo
The pipes were charming, and they
smoked superbly. The fame of them
spread. In course of time meerschaum
mining and meerschaum pipe making
became two of the recognized indus
tries of the world.
The original kavol Kowates pipe, the
worlds first meerschaum, Is still pre-
served in the Pesth museum.

FISH FOR MANY STREAMS.

Pennsylvania Railroad Distributing
MinnOws Throughout the state.
Early In this year the Pennsylvania
pertinent. that Of assisting In stocking
the mountain streams of Pennsylvania
with fish, says a Philadelphia special
dispatch to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The experiment has proved so success
full that henceforth it will be continued
with increased vigor. The company in
this work is cooperating with the
United States government and the
state of Pennsylvania.
More than 10000 minnows, none of
them more than an inch long, have
been turned over to the railroad by the
state of Pennsylvania. The state de-
partment of fisheries did not have
enough money at it's command to dis
tribute properly all the fish it had to
dispose of, and when all the clubs and
individuals that wanted any had fin
ished putting in their applications it
looked as If the other thousands would
have to be thrown away.
1t will take three years for the fish
to grow. to maturity, and then those
that haven't died will be from six to
ten inches long. Before the three years
are up, though, many more fish will
have been distributed in the same way
by the Pennsylvania. 1t Is expected
that the scheme will result in develop
ing a very fine line Of fish in the
streams of the Allegheny mountains.

JACKSON NOT POOR.
The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.

The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.
Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged to the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help Of family and
friends.
Never did he taste the bitter cup of
physical want. of hunger and cold, of
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never was he without home and loyal
friends and a sufficiency Of the COM
forts of life Never was it his lot to
suffer that humiliation, that NORTH
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which the proud nature writhes under
when there is no money in the pocket,
no change of clothing for the body, no
welcome light in any window in all
the world as the harassed day draws
to its end and the wretched night
comes on.
Poverty! Why, Andrew Jackson
never in his whole life had a genuine
taste of what the cruel word really
means
Few men have been more greatly in
debted to the intelligent affection Of
self sacrificing mother. Few sons Of
poor parents have had such advan-
tages as were his lot, and few lads Of
poor parents did such a scanty amount
of manual labor Compared to the
rugged, self taught youth Of Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson. S4m Hous-
ton, Francis Marion and Nathaniel
Greene, the boyhood of Andrew Jack
son almost assumes the appearance Of
having been cast upon "flowery beds
of ease."- Watson's Magazine.

Poldhu Signals Reach the Alps.

One of the curious possibilities of
wireless telegraphy, and one also that
shows how much remains to be ac-
complished in the way of perfecting
detail before wireless telegraphy can
command public confidence for public
use, has recently been brought to light
in Switzerland. says the London Globe.
There is at Fort Stoekli, on Mount St
Gothard, a wireless telegraphy station
which during the hot summer months
has been subjected, especially during
the hour Immediately following mid
night, to strange influences which for
some time baffled the operators. These
influences became stronger as the heat
became more intense, and then the re-
ceiving apparatus solved the mystery
by reproducing nightly. especially be-
tween midnight and 2 a. m, series Of
messages-in English. The explana-
ton was that owing to the marked
presence of electricity In the atmos-
phere of the Alps during the. high tenn
perature messages from Poldhu. In
Cornwall, were reproducing themselves
on Mount St. Gothard.

Europe Being Ransacked to Provide
Farm LabOrers.
The call Of the cultivated Is % loud
that the call Of the wild seems pretty
faint in comparison. All over the
United States the farmers are bowling
for laborers.
The voice Of the south comes on every
breeze. Scarcely one Of the southern
states but has sent its agent abroad to
try to direct immigration to Its own
particular boundaries. Whole colonies
of immigrants are being planted along
the railway lines, and still the cry is
for more.
Already several hundred German
farmers have been located along the
Southern railway between Richmond
and Danville. Va. Hungarians. Ger
mans and Poles are to be found on
farms between West Point and Rich
mond These settlements are growing
constantly. says the Charleston News
and Courier. and the farmers are send
ing to the mother country for their
friends and relatives
At Valdese, NJ c., fifty families Of
Italian farmers have been organized
into a profitable community. and they.
too, are inducing colonies of their cOun-
trymen to come out to America. Rus
sian farmers are now engaged In truck
ing at Aiken. s. c., and near Summer
vile a little band of French Canadian
farmers are in similar pursuits, with
most encouraging results. At Lumber
City. Ca, italian farmers and wood
workers have found the country and
sawmills In that vicinity so remunera-
tive that they are urging their country
men to come there.
From Birmingham, Ala, to Green
vile, Miss. Italians have been secured
as cotton growers. From Mobile to
Birmingham there are scattered settle
ments Of German. Hungarian and
Polish farmers. whose abilities and en-
ergies have made a marked difference
in the neighborhood where they have
established themselves.

tie Art of Lying.
Very few of us, indeed, are exempt
from the charge of direct lying. Not
to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies in time of war. to criminals. to
sick persons and lunatics. as to which
pages upon pages of casuistry appear
In the older works on moral science.
there are what may be termed the lies
lubricant. wrung from us by etiquette
and good breeding. If the amenities
of life were not preserved through the
gentle art of lying society could scarce
~ continue as happy family; we
should all have to live in separate
cages. The best of us will tell direct
lies on trivialities where politeness Is
imperative. Wherever practicable. how
ever, the spirit of advocacy prevails.
We say whatever we can truthfully.
self love and imagination fill out a
generally agreeable impression. Fam
lily relationships, even more markedly
than business or social relations, ex-
emplify the universal attitude Of advO-
cacy. Mr.. Roundabout says: Go to
Browns house and tell Mrs. Brown
and the young ladies what you think
of him and see what welcome you
will get. In like manner, let him come
to your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion of you and see how
she will receive him." No one save
an unspeaka BILE cad would speak slight
ingly of a husband to his wife; no one
save an unspeakable cad would toll
crate sighting language in his pres
ence concerning his wife. Such is the
conventional law as to spouses. par
ents, children. blood relations in gen.
eral, even intimate friends.-Wilbur
