NUISANCE AT PLAYeRouNp.
Big Boys and Girls Annoying Resi- dents of High Street by Evening Visits.

The establishing of a public play ground on the grounds about the School street school Is already caus- ing a decided annoyance to residents of the neighborhood and the abuse of the privilege has become so great that a resident of High street has threat oned to enter complaint. The nuis- ance that has been created Is not by the children for whom the grounds were arranged, but by overgrown kids-yOung people in their teens who will be utterly ashamed if they get the publicity in the matter that they deserve to receive This class goes to the playground at night. They not only inture the swings and other equipment by rough usage, but their uncivilized behavior and worse lan- guage is most offensive.
 The police probably know the ma iority of them and this means that from now on they will be very wise if they keep away from the grounds and maintain what is left of their re- spectability They have been doing things that the public will not toler- ate

nice old lady, and everybody had
good word to say for Aunt Maria as
she was known.
There was common talk among the
villagers in Oyster Bay tina the old
mans daughter became silly through
the starvation treatment which she re-

and police into frenzy, and they did
not know which way to turn. The

was surprised at the large amount
of money that these old miser farmers
had slowed away. The first six
houses that we called at turned up
$4,000 in cash and quite wad of
bonds 1t took about two months to
get down to Babylon. and from there
over to Oyster Bay, where there was
a rich mine among the old retired
fishermen and oystermen.

when the lights went out in the
Struble house we went to 1t In single

had left the place by the back door.
He did not see any of us and disap-

for moment at the door and heard
the old man talking with his wife.
The door was unlocked and I stepped
into the place.
