BLOOD ON THE PATH
Mystery of Blood Prints in a v

Walking to the ferry out Bluff i
the other morning a "Palisadian" I
resentative saw splotches of blood
the snow path beginning near the /
track at Palisade avenue. The MI

about four feet apart.

what's more, the dog was running,

OLD FASHIONED SPELLING
BEE.
Proposal to Have One for the Benefit
of the Church.

Just to show that Palisade is not
behind in its education, it has been
proposed to have an old-fashioned
spelling bee for the benefit of the
church. Well, sir, that's the very
thing If there is anything on which
Palisade prides itself, it is the fact
that it is a cultured community. But
cultured or not, the matter of spelling
is one on which even the very best
educated man may take an occasional
tumble. There was never but one
spelling match in Palisade, and that
one was limited to only few people.
Miss Maud Brady at one of her enter
tainments got out all of the hard
words in the dictionary and put a lot
of clever people to rout one evening
about two years ago. But as inter
esting as that struggle was, it could
not be compared with what is in store
when the whole town turns out and
stands up for the spelling lesson at
the Union Church. Imagine George
Roedeles spelling against Paul Bin
ner, or Captain Darby against Vir-
ginia Berkie 1t should be great
sport

PALISADE CADET CORPS.
The Boys Have Their First Drill on
Washington's Birthday.

And it got out on Wash1ngton's
Birthday and gave its first street drill,
going along over the snowy roadways
like veterans. Captain Harry Elkan,
assisted by Captain n. A. Paul, did
the commanding, and the ways the
boys went through the regulation
way of doing the marches, filing and
general drilling would have made
many an older company turn green
with envy. The Palisade drill corps
is only few weeks old, but in that
time it has been brought to the front
in a most creditable manner by Cap
tain Harry Elkan who has drilled
them several times a week in the
basement of the new church. Cap
tain E1kan is member of the famous
22d Regiment, New York, and wears
many medals for effective service he
has rendered over there. He is in
love with his new charges and the
boys all appreciate what he has done
for them.
The Palsade Cadet Corps has sew
eral honorary members, just as
though it was a crack regiment w.
R. Goodman is Colonel" R. R
Brown, "Major," n. \. Paul and
Charles T. Logan, Captains" The
latter officers, with the exception of
Captain n A. Paul, who is a member
of the list brag regiment, New York
City, have little to say about what the
boys ought to do, or ought not to do
They kind of lend a touch of moral
support, as it were, and that may
help some. They are "brevet' officers
1t was too funny when the drilling
first started. The little fellows could
not get the hang of it right Off and
such little mischief lovers as Este
Flagge, Randolph Brown, Jimmie
Wolcott, and a few more could not
get the smokers out of their systems,
and there was a minimum of dlscl-.
pine But after a few weeks were
over and gone, Captain Elkan began
to inspire them with the dignity OF
their work. and soon the levity was
all worn away in the real interest
that began piling up in the work.
Perhaps the first step towards this
turn for the better was when the new
uniforms were received and put on
for the first time The uniforms are
of the conventional khaki, a light
brown, the same color as the U. S.
regulars, and the little fellows GER
tainly do look cute in them. Arthur
BerIie is First Sergeant and he has
helped the boys in the drills and exer-
cises by being very thorough himself:
The uniforms are much admired, and
the boys look very swell in them.
Then there was Este Flagge who
said he would like to be the bugler of
the corps, and straightway he was
elected and then Este persuaded
"Pop" Flagge to buy him full sized
bugle, all gold-looking and as big as
Este, almost. He has not favored the
corps with any awakening of the
woods as yet but that time is COM
ing soon, as Este is no idler. even
when it comes to play. He never lags.
While the boys were trudging along
the sidewalks on the day we cele-
brate as Washington's Birthday,
Capt. n A. Paul was going the full
route with the boys, giving them
words of encouragement, some COM
mands, and lot of good advice on

The White Whale.

The white whale, or beluga, is an
arctic cetacean and closely allied to the
narwhal. 1t is pure white in color,
twelve to eighteen feet long, whalelike
in form, with huge muZZle and nu-
merous sharp cOnical teeth.
The white whale swims with ex-
traordinary speed by doubling its huge
tail under its body and then striking
out with it. Scientists who have stud
led ii in its natural environs say that
1t is able to catch the swiftest of fish
es, often pursuing its prey far up the
northern rivers. 1t is gregarious and
may be seen at times in herds Of forty
or fifty.
These herds not infrequently gambol
around boats in the arctic seas, and
the natives Of Greenland often capture
them with harpoons or nets. The flesh
Of the white whale, in fact, is a con
siderable source of food supply to
them. From it also is derived one Of
the finest grades Of commercial oil.
The skins are tanned and the leather
sold in the trade as 'porpoise hide

Waterspouts.

A waterspout is miniature tornado
originating in q strong upward draft
Of air which occurs above the surface
of body of comparatively warm wa
ter. Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion at the point in the
clouds to which it ascendS. This be-
comes a whirl, which cOndenseS the
yapOr at its center. causing the pOr-
ton of the cloud there to drop down
ward in the shape of gigantic jelly
bag At the same time the continuing
upward draft increases the rapidity Of
its original swirl and the condensed
vapOr caught within 1t until the
ascending and descending masses join
to form the waterspout. Necessarily
by this process the air beneath the
spout is rarefied, and thus where the
phenomenon occurs at sea the water
always seems to be sucked up into it,
although this is not really the case to
any considerable extent. For similar
reasons where a waterspout or lorna
do passes over building 1t does most
Of its damage by exhausting the air
outside, causing what Is within to ex-
pand and blow the structure to pieces.

Bread and DYSPEPSIA.

The conclusion that wheat bread is
unfit for dyspeptics. sometimes Jump
ed ut because Ill effects are noticed TO
follow its use. is erroneous. On the
contrary. 1t has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceous
food is peculiarly adapted to some dys-
peptic patients. 1t Is the microbes In
the starch which are capable Of pro.
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec.
ommends that only the crust or toast
ed crumbs Of the bread be used by
dyspeptics. particularly those whose
stomachs are dilated The reason of
this Is explained by the fact that bak-
Ing temporarily. though not perma.
nently. arrests the fermentation Of
dough. When It is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer
mentatlon is renewed. In cases where
the bread Is toasted brown through
the fermentation is stopped perma-
nently .-Family Doctor.

Sine a Soma of Sixpence.

The London Globe attempts an ex-
PLANTATION of the rhyme "Sing a Song
Of Sixpence." Here it Is: 1.-The four
and twenty blackbirds represent the
four and twenty hours. The bottom
Of the pie is the world. The top crust
represents the sky. The opening of
the pie is the dawn Of the day, when
the birds begin to sing, and surely
such a sight is fit for a king. The
king in his counting house counting
out his money is the sun. The money
the king is counting represents the
golden sunshine. The queen, who sits
in the parlor, is the moon. The honey
she Is eating is the moonlight. The
industrious maid who is working in
the garden before the sun has risen
is the day dawn, and the clothes she
hangs out are clouds. The bird that
so tragically ends the song by nipping
off her nose is the hour Of sunset"
