NARROW ESCAPE.
Fire House Comes Near to Destruc-
ton bv Falling Tree.

Palisade came near to having one
of its fire houses destroyed on the
morning of October 5. The high
wind took down big, dead maple
about two feet in diameter at the
butt just on the southwest corner of
the Bull lot. 1t was about due to
topple over, as it was pretty well
rotted, and the trunk broke into sew
eral pieces as it fell to the ground
The tree. came within an ace of strik-
ing squarely on the roof of the fire
house, missing it by only few inches.
1t would have crumpled up like an
egg shell had the tree fallen that way.
AS the wind was northwest, it is
strange it did not fall on the build
ing. AS it was it snapped off on
the rebound of a whirling gust and
fell due south.
There are many other dead trees in
Palisade that would bear examination.

NEARLY A FIRE.
Small Boys Play With Matches and

Two small bsgs, both of Palisade,
played with matches on the after
noon of October 5 and almost caused
a fire. There was heavy gale on,
and the wind was playing high jinks,

the eyes of pedestrians and hurling
leaves through the air.

DOGS AND THE MAN.
Embarrassing Experience of Young
Man With Two Leashed Dogs
On a Rainy Night.

Between her two dogs, a young man
friend, and the news that her home
had been entered by robbers some
nights before, Miss Catharine Met
calf arrived in Palisade in the even
ing Of September Is, about nightfall,
in perplexed mood about how to
proceed. She had travelled all day
from East Marion, at the extreme
eastern end of Long Island, and had
come on ahead of her parents in an
almost half-frenzy of worry about the
news that had come to them the day
before about their home having been
burglarided. Arriving at the Edge
water ferry about six-thirty, p m,
with her dear old puggie and the cute
little daschund on a leash, she hurried
to Paterson car with her charges,
only to find that dogs were no longer
allowed to travel on Public Service
cars. Fortunately, she had met
young gentleman friend who volun-
teered to guide the dogs up the hill,
arranging to meet their owner at
Beckmann's.
The young man went about his task
of coaxing the daschund and psag up
the hill just when a heavy rain began
falling. He persevered, however, and
got them as far as the halfway turn
when the pug bolted hisk collar and
made down the hill for the ferry.
The young man darted after him, of
course, and finally got his pugship
on the leash again. 1t was his first
trip up the mountain climb, and it
being dark as blazes, he had the time
of his life getting up the hill. In the
meantime, Miss Metcalf, anxious to
get home to see the extent of the
robbery, sent messenger after the
young man and the dogs, and they
were found wading through the mud
and water under the stone arch, won
dering in the pitch darkness of the
night which way was which. Being
guided to the store, there was no fur
Their difficulty, except that the young
man, hot and hungry, didn't hesitate
to ask, "Why@is dog, anyhow"
Miss Metcalf found, quite happily,
very few valuables missing from her
home.

Benjamin Klein has put in some

MRS. HuRLBuT HOSTESS
 FOR WoMAN's CLUB.
Through Her Enterprise and Courtesy They Were Privileged to Enjoy Travel Take.

Through the enterprise and courtesy of Mrs. L. A. Hurfbut formerly of Norwich) the ladies of Crescent City were privileged to enjoy a series of moss Interesting travel talks.4by Miss q Dora Lieullen of Jacksonville, says the Crescent City tF1a) News. These aiks occupied pretty nearly every evening or afternoon of the last week and that the ladies of the place thor oughly enjoyed them was attested by the audience, which was large through out.
 The Monday, Wednesday and Thurs day talks were given in the V. l. A. hall, while those of Tuesday and Fri day were afterntcn meetings at the beautiful Hurlibut bungalow. These home meetings also took on somewhat the form of receptions, being attended py some 66 or TO Fisiting and resident ladies of the place.
 Mrs. Hurlbut and her guest Miss Lieuellen, were in the hallway to re- celve, and after a short social time the lecture, or Gas Miss Lieuellen prefers to call them) talks, followed. Her theme, The Greater Circle of the Ori- ent, occupied the five talks, and the in- terest which began with the first con- tinued unabated through to the last, but few of the ladies missing any of them. Miss Lieuellen is most enter taining. talker, and in her travels has ucCcO uidI1N Ci the more common pldCe happenings but rarely described by the average writer. These, told in a con- versational manner, immediately ar rest the attention of her hearers, which is held to the close.
 The Tuesday and Friday afternoon meetings at Mrs. Hurlbut's home were of great social interest as rarely has anything in the reception line here been so elaborately planned and car ried to such minute and charming per- lection At the conclusion of Miss Lieuellen's talk on Friday dainty re- treatments of sandwiches, coffee, cakes, bOn-bons and salted almonds were served and delightful social time en- joyed. The guests were waited upon by young ladies of the place. The Hurlbut home was beautifully decorat- ed for the occasion and the day was ideal. On Friday afternoon the ar- engagements were much the same as on Tuesday. But it was the final of Miss Lieuellen's talks and the ladies reluctantly said tfledr farewells. Mrs. Hurlbut needed no proof of her gra- ciousness as hostess. but to emphasize her good will to the Woman's club, she has turned over the gross receipts of the courses to that organization. Her kindness in planning these delightful entertainments in the interests of the club and the social life of the place will not soon be forgotten.
