High links by the Wind.

Old Boreas took a hitch in his
waistband the evening of April 7,
about 8 o'clock, and the way he let
out a blast from the west was a eau
ton. 1t has blown some in Palisade
upon other occasions, but the palm
must be accorded the record made
that Wednesday night in question.
Out of a clear sky, with the stars
shining, the wind swept with sufficient
force to shake every house in Pals
ade, blowing down several trees in
the village. 1t is going some when a
tree in winter garb will fall before a
blast And the dust, also, was hurled
up in clouds, and gravel peppered the
faces of those unfortunate enough to
be abroad. 1t was all accompanied
by an awful roar which was awe
inspiring to those who like these
manifestations, but it got on the
nerves of timid people who thought
each recurring roar would topple the
house over. That old saying, "Never
mind the weather so the wind don't
blow" found many Palisadians keen
1y appreciative of its meaning. Ye
Reporter was foolish enough to try
wheeling as pastime while the gale
was at its worst. The laughing wind
caught his hat, cherished Stetson,
and whisked it away down Columbia
avenue like feather Officer Carney
saw the cruel sport and didn't get
over laughing himself all night. And
that was the last of the hat. 1t doubt
less took sail to Long Island.
The wind blew all the dust entirely
away from the roadways, leaving the
nacadam exposed in pebbly Jumps, as
though a trash-moving rain had
washed it in the cutters.

THE CLIFF FRONT PROPERTY.
The Esplanade and Other Roadways
Finishing, With New Cement Side
walks Going Down.

The roadways east of Palisade ave
nue. in that portion of Palisade known
as the cliff front, are rapidly nearing
completion, and nearly all of them
will be ready before the summer is
over.
The esplanade directly on the cliff
is to be beautiful driveway fifty
feet wide with sidewalks, and will,
no doubt, form the greatest prone
made for Palisadians yet constructed.
1t will prove an admirable vantage
ground during the coming Fulton
celebration ceremonies, and will prob
ably be crowded during the great
water pageants and balloon races
planned for that occasion.
The cement sidewalk out Bluff road
to the cliff front has already been
started and material is on hand for
finishing it at an early date. Supt.
Garfield May is now working fifty
men, and a considerable showing will
be made the present working season.

She loves him for the way he parts
His hair;
The key to many gentle hearts

Sin consists in selling out cheap.

All that ministers to human happi-
