Queens, g Brooklyn, ay MILLER ET AUTOCRACY. —— BRONX; The most exciting thing in Edgemere at this time of the year is the wind. Our house is near Jamaica Bay and our tenant keeps his two-seated Ford in front of the house at night, sometimes, Instead of putting St in a garage.

Hereafter tha tenant will put his brakes on more firmly. —Mrs. Bertha Frankel, No, 465 Beach 37th Street, Edgemere, L. I.
