i It is perhaps needless to remind the
reader that there' are some 447.000 acres
of waste lands' in Suffolk county. Long
Island. 'They are . now covered with
stunted pines, scrub oak and underbrush.
If tillable these barren aures are advan
tageously situated for the experiment of
colonization.. The question as to their
possible fertility has been answered both
ways, and it is rapidly appearing, if not
already demonstrated, that those who
"denied their productiveness under proper
cultivation have -'been in error. Tears
ago Governor John A. Dix 'called the
attention of the New York State Agri
cultural society to these lands.
Since Governor Dix wrote' many suc
cessful experiments in cultivation of
these lands .hare confirmed his judg
ment.' J Nope of 'these can have niore in
terest 'lor .: the "'sociologist,' than tfiat of
the Bohemian colony, situated midway
between' Ronkonkoma. and Sajrville, in
what is 'now a fertile "garden- spot that
bursts unexpectedly on the view an
oasis in a dense and dreary wilderness of
dwarfed., oaks and . prolific underbrush.
This community; was formed a score of
years ago ander circumstances the most
unpromising. Near" the picturesque lit-'
tie round . lake' called Ronkonkoma, so
deep that local legend pronounces it un
fathomable and whose outlet has never
been discovered," lies Lakeland, a ftither
to ; wild tracf of scrub ' and furze, on
which it was proposed to establish a
colony. -Among " those -who ,. -were in
duced to purchase land there fn" the days
when romantically ' worded advertise
ments described it : as an Eden, were
three Bohemian families who had ar
rived in this country but a short time
before.-,
.' The heads of these families were John
Kertocbvil, Joshua Wavra and Joseph
Houla. They were honest, credulous
folk, unfamiliar with the wiles of th
'boomer. ; and they purchased their
land nnseen on his representations. But
when in the waning autrnnn they and
their- wive? and little ones beheld Lake- 1
Land, its only :.faarvest frost tinted, sun
dried, crinkling leaves, their'hopes sick
ened and they would Ijave returned to
Hew York if they could. But they were
without means to support themselves in
the city. Hence, indifferent where it
might be found, they sought more prom
ising territory toward, the south., and
after wandering a distance of three miles
they knelt in the woods' to implore, divine-
direction. - By- common impulse
they were moved to 'choose the spot
where they thus knflt as the center of
their settlement. . '
The men plodded back to Lakeland.
and thence laboriously brought their
personal effects, the more important of
which were a canvas tent and a cooking
stove. When shelter was thus secured
and an attempt ; made to kindle a fire it
was sorrowfully discovered that there
was not a match in the colony; and all
Bohemia laughs to this day when the
story is told of John Kertochvil seizing
his mnsKet and nnng the charge into
the grate, thus providentially kindling
the fire while running the risk of blow
ing the precious stove to pieces.
The men found work on the Great
South bay near -by, or on the farms of
the southside gentry and before long
each family dwelt in its primitive- hut,
and men and women unitedly labored to
clear the land and prepare it for a crop.
The narrative of their struggle would be
monotonous: Enough that .it was- suc
cessful. Gradually- their' numbers were
re-enforced by other families of, their
countrymen, until there are now fifty
two bouses and 250 settlers in the colony.
Pretty little dwellings they are. too. sur
rounded by trim gardens and patches of
land yielding crops of corn, potatoes and
other vegetables an bountiful as can be
found anywhere. . ,

A Oueer Way of Chooalng m Wife.
It .has remained for' a young clergy
inau, a missionary, to take'the palm, for
a phlegmatic choice of : a wife. Having
decided, that it would be advisable to be
accompanied to ' the mifiion' field by a
wife, be undertook ito select her with
his head, not thinking it,necessary that
his heart need be considered' in the mat
ter. He first made a list Of attributes
desirable in the- -wife of a missionary;
then, as he went about with the differ
ent young women" Of .'his' acquaintance,
he watched for the development ;of any
characteristics ' corresponding with: his
record. "' : "' . .' 5 ,
When he discovered any he marked a
point opposite the" young woman's name.
When the time came to make the choice
be offered hitoAeLf to that young woman
. yb'-ha4ahleyed the highest percentage
in this unique table, and, alas! was ac
cepted. The only redeeming feature of
the transaction is his admission- made
some years 'after' ;his wedding to a friend.

' "Yes, with all my heart; watch them."
She- was a bud of a girl : wife, and as
he sat cozily ensconced in her light gray
mackintosh, with its cape and big though
inoffensive plaids the picture of perfect
loveliness intrenched against the pierc
ing dampness of the stormy night one
might well marvel at the alien thought
of , pity. There 'was the unmistakable
suggestion of an exquisitely rounded and
graceful figure. ; o.;. . . .
: Her eyes-were of a deep . blue, shaded
by dark brows and lashes, and the wary
strands of hair,- a shade fainter and more
Hull than golden, were pressed about the
shell -like ears by a light veil, -Which also
seemed to hold the pretty little' bonnet
firmly in place. ' The face 'was refined,
beautiful and mors lovable than,' intel
lectual in its. outlines the. complexion
was. fair but colorless -the unimpeach
able evidence of an habitual and harm
lessly mild dissipation. '
They had been to the opera. He sat
stiffly and uncomfortably -by her side.
He was tall and lank and angular,; and
as he unfastened the two top buttons of
his black overcoat there was shown the
immaculate front of evening dress. - His
silk hat leaned, perhaps involuntarily, a
little to one side and his little dark eyes
increased the impression of a self con
scious uneasiness. A thinl dark beard,
which evidently wasn't on speaking
terms- with the mouth, had also defied
successfully any artistic intimacy with
the barber"? shears, and a hectic flush
heightened the chec-ia.
He occupied only the forward part of
hisseat, while she cuddled back as far
as possible and inclined slightly toward
the vacancy behind him. It is needless
to ivdd that they were going to their
home in Brooklyn. ' '
BRAVE LITTLE WOMAN.
She evidently enjoyed the opera at
least, and was anxious to ; dwell with
him upon the scenes which pleased her
most. . Her mood also was a friendly
critical one. He seemed to have' a
chronic grudge against himself and
everybody else who presumed to inter
rupt his profound communion with his
thoughts. v
She sat a few moments in silence, then
looked up into his face 'with childish
confidence and said something in a loud
voice.
His features relaxed, the crease be
tween his thin brows deepened and his
face was petulant and fretful as he roll
ed his eyes, toward her, mora to let her
understand he was about to address her
than to look into hers.
iTd like to know what you-. know
about it, anyway.
She drew back a little in silence t his
rough retort, but presently she forgot
her chagrin and said something to him
again. -' ..-..' ,.
" ."Well, you're a nice person to criticise
anything like that, aren't you? r Haven't
you got any sense at all?" - "
The little, woman blushed, her eyes
dropped, the faint smile of interest
faded from her face and she sank back
again to hide her embarrassment.
A CHRONIC NATURE. .
But hers evidently was . one of those
sunny, open temperaments which soon
forget a wrong, especially when perpe
trated by a loved one. and it was not
long before' her countenance was again
serenely tranquil, and her happy, eyes
told of the '. pleasant thoughts which
were flitting through her mind. Soon
she looked up again and spoke to him.-
"Yes, that's just about like you," he
.ejaculated 'sarcastically. - "Why don't
you wait till you know something of
what you are talking about before you
begin to criticise? What do yon sup
pose people go to hear it for. anyway?
Do you think every one's a fool but
you?" - '. . . :
And the man rattled on with his harsh
reprimands, seeming to take a supreme
delight in verbally chastising the sweet,
shrinking little innocent at his side for
presuming to exist or endeavoring to
make the evening pleasant for him with
her inoffensive prattle.. As she shrank
further and further .back in her seat a
paleness drove the . blushes ' from her
cheeks, and she had not recovered her
courage to epeak again when the train
stopped at the City Hall station, itnd
they hurried across to the bridge cars. ;'
