CHILDREN WITHOUT SCHOOL
Five Live on Island n ocean OF Mae
sschusetts Coast.

Boston.-Alone ON an island in the
ocean, with FIVE children to educate,
is the predicament in which the SUI
preme courts decision leaves Henry
B. Davis. the sole resident Of NO
Mans Land
This little island lies four miles
south Of Martha's Vineyard. 1t is in
cluded in the town Of Chilmark. and
Mr. Davis pays taxes on property as
sessed at $1,000
In 1904 he moved to the island.
His children are 4, u, II, 19 and "a
years old. The 12-year-old child is
the only one Of whom attendance at
school is legally required.
In its decision the court regretted
that the children should go unedu-
Gated, but stated that the petitioner
cannot expect the town to furnish and
maintain a school for his sole bene-
fit.
Had Mr.. Davis petition been
granted, he would likely have had the
contract for erecting the school build
ing. One Of the scholars would have
been appointed janitor, and when a
graduate of the school became teach
er the educational short circuit would
have been complete, In the town Of
Chilmark there are several school
buildings and a library.
In. answer to Mr.. Davis petition the
court said: 'The situation Of the pc
titioner and his children is an unfor-
tunate one. The statute requires him
to cause at least one OF them to at
tend school; he pays taxes to the
town to a considerable amount; there
are no regular means OF communica-
ton between the island upon which
he has fixed his residence and the
main island upon which the public
schools of the town are situated, com
munication Is often dificult and some
times impossible. But we can pass
only upon the question Of law raised
by the report. Petition dismissed"

To know a hawk from a hernshaw"
Is a metaphor with a curious history.
It is a comparison drawn from fall
conry. "Hernshaw' is a corruption Of
"heronshaw," or young heron, a bird
which was common prey of the fal-
cons. To know a hawk from a hern.
shaw therefore Is to be able to dis
iinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase-"to know a hawk from
handsaw," a form used BY Hamlet
ia one place. Possibly the distinction
between a hawk and a hernshaw was
found not TO be strong enough for the
purposes of the proyerb.

WASHING HEADsToNEs IN coUN

Matter Of Routine for Which One Day
IN the Year Was Set Apart
Some Lots Left IN
Neglect

briers and vines grow as they will.
says the New York Sun.
So when a man whose early days
were spent in the country views
Greenwood or Woodlawn or other less
pretentious cemeteries his mind goes
back to the graveyard he knew. It
lay, and still lies, on a hillside where
the sun came oftenest; a wall OF
stones piled unevenly surrounded it;
within the paths ran crookedly this
way and that, bordered by wild rose
and honeysuckle and the weeping viii.
low, scattered in natures splendid dis
order.
But he remembers that most Of the
tombstones cleaned just as white in
the sunlight as do the more elaborate
tombstones he is contemplating. OF
course in the city the men attached
to the cemeteries see that the tomb
stones are kept clean.
How was it in the country? Surely
the aged sexton who dug the graves
didn't take care OF them after the last
words of the burial service had been
said.
So he recalls that each family
looked after its own burial plot, not in
haphazard fashion but as a matter Of
routine. There wasn't much senti-
ment in the performance; it was part
Of the years work.
A day in the cpring, he recollects,
was set apart for this duty. If you
lived at distance it was quite an un-
dertaking.
The wagon was loaded up with gar
dening tools and scrubbing brushes
and soap and big wash boiler At
the house nearest the cemetery you
called and got this boiler filed with
hot water. He recalls that the water
stopped over on his bare feet as the
wagon pursued an uneven course
through the burying ground.
The first thing was to give each
marble headstone a thorough scrub
bing with soap and water Then a
little rough gardening was done, not
enough to give the graves a trim ap-
pearance, but sufficient to mark each
from its neighbors.
1t was the custom OF all the country
side to keep the headstones bright,
and many persons could be seen work
ing energetically with scrubbing
brushes on any early spring day. But
some graves were neglected, ne re-
calls; all the family had died OF
moved away and the graves they de
serted we're fast being covered from
sight in riot Of brier and tangled grass
It must be that the graves Of his an
cestors we're that way now. for all his
kin not dead had found homes else,
where on the earth. These lines from
Longfellow's Morituri Salutamus'
come to his mind:
Each at some well remembered grave
win kneel
And from the inscription wipe the weeds
and moss.
For every heart best knoweth its own
loss.
And he resolves as he comes out OF
his day dreaming that he will GO back
some day and see that the headstones
are polished bright again. But he
never does.

Two days after Rizzolo was dis
charged from custody he went to
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, where he start
ed a commissary department for the
benefit of his fellow Italians who were
employed by Mr.. McFadden. who had
a railroad contract in that section Of
New York. Mike still had a passion
for making money quick. His pros.

But all the while Linden had two
employees at the elbow Of Mike Riz-
zolo. Both Of these fellows were Ital-
ians. One pretended to be half-wit-
ted and managed to be in the company
of Mike all the while. He not only
worked with him. but he ate and slept
with him. Rizzolo on his part not
only gave the man his confidence by
day, but he poured his incoherent
dreams into his willing ear by night.
Detailed reports were sent to Linden
with religious regularity.

crime. No one knew this better than
Robert J. Linden.
His assistant, Capt E. ]. Dougherty,
said:
"Shall we arrest Rizzolo?"
"No; We must get either a confes.
sion or sufficient evidence for a con-
viction.'
At this critical stage of the game
the local authorities who had heard
of the movements of Linden and his
assistants, re-arrested Rizzolo. Lin
den was not given to profanity, but
some of the things he said on that oc-
casion were unprintable. He foresaw
trial and an acquittal-a fiasco. a
miscarriage of justice. He went to
Thomas Quigley of Miners Mills.
''Mr. Quigley, you want the noun
tain mystery solved?'
Surely"
Then 60 bail for Mike RiZzolo."
Quigley went Rizzolo's bail in the
sum of $1,000, and the Italian was re-
leased from custody. He was delight

and virtually acquitted OF the crime.

because he said more than once to his
confidants:
"A man can't be tried for murder
twice. Once acquitted, he's a free
man."
He failed to realize that his hearing
before the alderman was not trial.
and that his discharge was far from
an acquittal. But from the moment
he was released his every footsteD was
shadowed: every house that he en-
tered was marked: every word that he
uttered was overheard, and every
penny that he spent was noted in
a little red book kept by one OF Lin
den's rubber.shoed sleuths.
Rizzolo seemed anything but a des-
rel ado. He was about "a years old
and rather agreeable looking. except
for his nose. which had a discolora-
ton which won for him from his coun
trymen the nickname of Red Nu.e

Calabritto, in the province OF Avel-
