When Girl Grew Cold Carpenter Sent
 in Bill Demanding Money.

Mineola, l.. I.-Bennette Bonanno his wife Mary of Rockville Center, here for $309, which he said was due him for carpentering and other work done for them. The defense set up the claim that the work was paid for with a kiss
 the work was done in a friendly way and was not to be paid for Bonanno made no demand for pay until he and Rosie Vitra the pretty 16-year-old daughter ok the Lesters, ceased to. be friends
 Mrs. Lester told about a bird house which she said Bonanno had giyea her adopted daughter. In his bill the bird house figures as a s35 charge.
 She, her daughter and Bonanno were admiring the house and she girl exclaimed:
 Oh. how can ! pay you?"
 To this, Mrs. Lester said, Bonanno replied:
 I'd take kiss for pay.'-
 Was the kiss given?~ asked the court
 Tt was, responded the witness. Miss Nitro told the same story. She said she had done some sewing for Bonanno, who was calling on her very frequently, and he promised her a present and sent her the bird house She admitted paying with kiss. Justice Garretson granted a non. suit.

 What they doin in the woods?" asked Si Wotherspoon, with a wink at the Captain. "Gunnin' for shad?"
 Well, l didn't mean 1t that way" said the Postmaster 'I never heard of feller chasin' fish through the primeval forest with a gun. Ye might as well hunt elephants with a butter fly net"
