No Grudges, Neighbor.

Our worthy neighbor, the Fort Lee
Sentinel seems to think Palisade has
a grudge against it. Nothing is fur
Their from us, Mister Race. One would
think the boot were on the other
foot to read the following from late
issue of the Sentinel:
Bids were opened for printing the
financial report of the Borough in
pamphlet form, and the contract was
awarded, to The Sentinel, notwith-
standing, the fact that Councilman
Brady appeared to want the bid re
jected, probably because it was 500
lower than that of the Palisadc Post
and $3.50 lower than that of friend
of his in New York, both of which
he was instrumental in securing and
either of which he would rather have
had get it than The Sentinel, even
at the higher price. Hang the ex-
pense, cost, or sacrifice to the Bor-
ough, so long as the ends of Palisade
are gratified and they can do" The
Sentinel
Nobody wants to do you. Colonel
Mr.. Brady has told a "Palisadian"
representative that he did not object
to the Sentinels bid for any reason
except that his offer did not state
what the contract was for, or what
the service was to be.

the $4,000 sounds big, but the ques-

stand that kind of prosperity 1t might
make me want an automobile next,
and I do not know what my fellow
townsmen in Hackensack would say
about it. If they saw me riding in an
automobile they would think we were
going to have French flood on the
Hackensack River But I have never
gone as far as that in the way of pre-

MAD DOG KILLED.
Richard Bennett Stays Stray Brute
That Had Rabies.

On the afternoon of February a
stray dog came to Palisade and be-
gan to roam around town. He wore
a worried look, was moving in trot
and snapped at everything in sight.
When near the Elkan house he ran
UP to the Great Dane Of the Elkans,
bit him on the leg, then scurried over
and nipped Billy" the famous prize
winning bulldog Of actor Richard
Bennett. Mr. Bennett happened to
be at home, and running for his pis-
tOl opened up on the visiting canine
and shot him to death.
From his actions Mr.. Bennett was
sure that the dog was mad, so to
make the matter certainty he had
him sent to the Pasteur Institute in
New York, where his brain was ex-
amined and the case pronounced one
OF rabies.
Many Of the neighbors thought
Mr.. Bennett was very brutal in kill
ing the dog as he did, but he took
the trouble to telephone all over
town when he learned of the Pasteur
Institute diagnosis and let them know
better. The thanks of the commun-
ity are due to Mr. Bennett for his
heroic and prompt work BILLY"

pie to be cared for for twenty-one
days, a time sufficient in which to

he had a scratch from his adventure
on his hand. The Elkan dog was
shot. Thus ended a dramatic Incl

CHANGING LIGHT.
Metropolitan Tower Beacon Seen
from Palisades on Clear Nights.

If you have never been up early
enough on winters morning when
the air is very clear and crisp, to
catch the drift of things over towards
New York while the lights are still
burning, you have missed something
But perhaps a good substitute may
be had some clear cold evening after
nightfall If you can see the Metro
politan Tower light burning like
huge beacon you may wait until the
quarter, half or three-quarters past
the hour shows on your watch--then
look! Away out in the south, high up
above the sky-scrapers of the busy
city, this great white light, seven hun
dred feet above everything else, and
looking for all like Venus or Jupiter,
when close to the horizon, suddenly
Winks itself out for space of five or
six seconds, then comes on again
brilliant, dazzling red, which lasts
couple of seconds Then there is
blank for ten seconds, and the light
reappears white again and remains so
for another fifteen minutes 1t is a
sight worth witnessing.

DeVoe Makes Another.

Editor of "The Palisadian":
| will give you the following fore
cast as pointer:
The storm belts which have been
hanging over the Western states the
past two months and which have
caused destructive billiards and snow
blOckades over that section of the
country, are going to shift their head
quarters and hover over the Atlantic
Ocean! They will be midway be-
tween the United States and England,
so that vessels plying between New
York and Liverpool will get a shak-
ing up going and coming. They will
begin on February / with a blizzard
along the New England coast and a
bowling northwest gale, while Eng
land and Scotland will be nearly
buried under snow by February 4.
Sincerely yours,
