 The residence where the tramp lodged so long is situated at 527 South Rarimn street. Denver, and Is the property or N. A. Rayuard, Miss Dom. mi. who lives In the big house, is a cousin of the owner Miss Domini was busy ubout her household work when she was startled by a sound. Turning, she behell a befraZ2led hobo. who bowed politely and said: Now, don't yousc scream or faint. loidy won't holt youse It's me wots q perfect gent All wants Is little scofIins before leave dis house. where ] has spent so many happy hours"
 The hobo then told Miss DOmini, who was too dumfounded to interrupt, that he had been In the habit for the past week of entering the house by the cellar way to sleep. He slept in the cellar the first three nights, and when Miss Dominrs maid was washing in| the basement,h he was hiding within a few feet of her. The hobo found the basement too cold, he said, so after all in the place had retired he went to the attic, where 1t was warmer, coming down occasionally when he desired to secure provender from the iceboI on the back porch.
 In the politest terms he demanded his breakfast, and when he exhibited a revolver with Its muzzle turned away from Miss Domini he got what he de sired. After he had eaten a large meal he disappeared going south. Miss Domini reported the case promptly to the police, but the brazen yet humOr- ous hobo cannot now be found.

So l have no word of blame for her, only regret that she Is gone and regret that the story has gone abroad"
 When Charles Smith was sixteen he left Pine Bush and went west. He was engaged to marry Carrie Wells, but her family disiIked him and it is said. intercepted his letters to the girl. Finally the girl believed Smith dead Two years lster she married Miller For two months they were in bliss Then Smith returned. It was a shock 10 the young wife It.iS said that they had talk, and she promised Smith that if ever she had an opportunity she would join him.
 For many years the husband knew nothing of this. Smith had married and his wife died. He came to New burg and opened a meat market To Newburg also came Miller and his wife.
 After a time Smith went west again. About five years ago Mrs, Miller told her husband of her love for Smith and asked Miller then to let her join Smith, Miller tried to argue his wife out of the notion. He was only partly sue cessrul. The conversation was renew ed at intervals. Finally Miller was forced to admit that neither he uor the wife could have any peace of mind while she remained. and he reluctant ly consented to her going To provide means for her departure he practically stripped the house of Its furniture.

The completion of the new and hand
some public school for the borough Of
Cliffside Park is a matter of great in
terest to the public along the Palisades.
The building is admirably located be-
tween the towns of Cliffside and Grant
wood, just along the tracks Of the
North Jersey line, and occupies COM
manding site from all viewpoints. 1t
has cost about an even S65,ooo, lnclud-
ing an iron fence of sufficient height to
keep the pupils within the confines of
the school grounds; a retaining wall on =
the east and north sides of the grounds,
400 feet in length four feet high, besides
sidewalks inside and outside of the
grounds. This cost is said to compare
favorably with any of the modern, up
to-date school buildings in the vicinity
of New York City.
From the PALIsADIAN's photograph,
presented elsewhere, it will be seen just
how attractive the new school is IN its
outside appearance. The inside is well
finished and in keeping with the elegant
exterior It is heated by the fan sys-
tenn, operated by motor and conlb1-
nation of furnaces and hot water coils.
In design the building is an adaptation
of the classic to modern American
school house design The material used
is red brick, gray terra Gotta trimmings,
with slate roof. In the central pedi-
ment is clock which tells the time
from the street and strikes the hour on
the bell in the cupola. On a still night
this bell may be heard as far away as
Palisade In every detail the building is
thoroughly sanitary, thus insuring the
health of every pupil in attendance.
The dedication took place February 8,
which proved one of the most important
events ever held in Cliffside, and which
was largely attended Among the
speakers upon that occasion were
County Superintendent of Education B.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Mrs. Lula Boyd-Landers, Editor of the
Concert Quarterly, Prepares
Special Cantata for Christmas
in Which Negro Dolls

in Which Negro Dolls
Take Leading hoIe.
1t has been said from time to time
that the different departments of the
National Baptist Publishing Board
IRE not only competent in their work,
but they are equal to the occasion at
all times. Whether this be true or
not, indications point that way.
rhey seem to have met every con-
dition and found ready solution to
the most perplexing problems in the
religious or UNCONVENTIONAL world.
as a proof of this, the editor of the
Concert Quarterly, program printed
iour times year, namely. Easter,
Children's Day, Bible Day and
Christmas, has brought this pc
riodical up to a very high stand
ard, and it has been the GUS
tom of the editor to give the Sun
day-schools each quarter something
new, something inter 3sting and some
thing that will prove attractive to the
pupils. She has been very careful to
feel the pulse of the masses and in
this way determine on what is best
her latest and no doubt her most hap
by hit is a cantata coming out as a
Christmas program known as the
Negro Dolls Christmas" She seems
to have gathered her inspiration to
write this cantata from the agitation
and the deep interest in Negro dolls,
rLis program not only contains the
dialogue, in which the Negro dolls
take tie leading role, but it has spicy,
new songs, composed, set to music
and arranged, by Negro authors. The
lecitations, declarations with the
ether additions make this one of the
q eatest programs ever prepared. Dr..
LCyd says that the IS or 20 thousand
NeyIo Baptist SUnday-schools
throughout the country will not miss
tle opportunity to send in their or
dels early. Every Sunday-school can
have some Of the programs. The
PRICES are So cents a dozen, $500 a
Hundred. FL orders should be sent
| to ,he National Baptist Publishing
Board, No 523 Second avenue, North,
| Nashville, Tenn. Those desiring
them should not wait until a week
before Christmas to order. They
should send in their orders at once. +
