more than twenty-four hours.
Death was due to the fracture OF
his spine by a fall while horseback

and although the general displayed
wonderful vitality before he finally
succumbed, he was subject to frequent
relapses which alarmed his family and
friends.

General Palmer at his DEATH his three
daughters, Mrs. Elsie Myers. and the
Misses Dorothy and Marjorie Palmer.

He then accepted a position as pri-

president and controlling power of the
great Pennsylvania railroad.

organized the Anderson troop of cav

The grand result is known to all; the
difficulties overcome can hardly be
realized at the present time. when a
rich, wellpopulated region has replaced
the almost barren territory of that
time.

PALIsADIANs FOR PALIsADE.
Get Together Everybody and Send
in the Names of Your Friends.

Recently it was suggested by a rep
resentative Of H. J. Redfeld & Com
pany that it would be good thing,
not only for the company, but for
Palisade and Palisadians, if there were
some concerted action between resi-
dents and the above company to get
new residents for Palisade.
This seems to be good idea, and
we would suggest that any resident
Of Palisade who has a friend whom
he would like TO have as neighbor,
and who he thinks could be induced
to come, has only to communicate the
name and address to the firm of H.
J. Redfe1d & Company, together with
any suggestions which he may have
for reaching the party, and the firm
will use their usual method OF mailing
literature and sending salesman to
call upon the man, in addition to the
hints given.
We are authorized by H. ]. Redheld
& Company to offer the use of their
office and Office force for the above
purpose to all Palisadians, and to
pledge the earnest support of the
company in any and all endeavors for
the betterment Of Palisade. In this
way, If every resident should cooper
ate, fifty or hundred families might
be induced to locate here in year.

Sprinkling Cart Man Fails to Turn
Off Hydrant.

When young Hecht, son of the Fire
Chief of Fort Lee, was holding the
reins over of the sprinkling cart team
on Sunday, October II, he got down
at the corner Of Anderson and Column
bia avenue to fill the big NAV OF the
cart from the hydrant south Of the
tracks. When the cart was filed,
Hecht tried TO turn off the water,
but it wouldn't turn. He then went
the other way with the spanner
wrench, but that made the water run
the faster He then was advised by
some passing citizens to run for
telephone and call up the water COM
pany. which he did, Mr. w F. Free
man kindly allowing the use Of his
phone Several thousand gallons OF
good water were lost before the turn
off was effected. The connecting
valve became unscrewed and caused
the flooding.

ONE ON THE BOYS.
A Prank that Nearly Gave Them
Palpitation.

On Election Day the small boys of
Palisade were busy all morning gath
ering old boxes, barrels, leaves, paper
and anything combustible they could
find. Buckley Wheeler, James
Wolcott, Carl Beckmann, Harry
and Glen Douglas, Ruehman Paul
and Jim Binner and others comprised
the party The pile was erected at
the corner OF Palisade avenue and
Bluff road.
While the boys were loading up
light one-horse blackboard they had
borrowed from the Palisade Supply
Market, with lime barrels they had
yanked from the new Burke house
next to the Dwiggins home in Cum
bermede road, there was a joke put
up on them that made their hearts
Jump in thumps Arthur, Bernie and
Vincent Brady piled some dry leaves,
of the bonfire pile, to where the boys
they started off with the load of bar
rels, match was touched to the
leaves and the fire was on. The blue
smoke curled up behind the pile Of
boxes, and it looked to all the world
10 Tie boys dS though the WHOlC lIlIHS
was a goner Then began such
stampede that cannot be described in
words They fairly hot-footed it
across the Frey lot, then on past the
Brown unfinished house, yelling like
Comanches. James Wo1cott had his
wheel, and he fairly flew along Bluff
road, his hair on end and his eyes
bullying like a wild Indian His face
was a picture of contemptuous dis
gust. and he looked as though he
could crush the fellow who touched
off that bonfire. When the boys got
to the scene OF frolic, and saw the
Bradys throwing fits of laughter, and
a lot of young ladies giggling in glee
over their joke, their faces wore a
look of supreme detection and sheep
ishness that would have made a dog
laugh
"Hang ii allp' said Beckmann, "the
thing looked just like if was on fire,
and we were prepared TO commit muir
der nearly to whoever did it"
1t certainly was one on the boys,
all right. but they had the real thing
ablaze that night, and it was a beauty.
A big crowd was out to see it.
Nearly everybody in town was out,
