described as spot of surprising loveliness.
On the evening that the Afzelia steamed
in, it struck me as the Notwithstanding
spot between Capricorn and Cancer.
IN the gloom of pouring dusk we dis
embarked and went to look for shelter.
Isola was in the saloon as we passed
through, and so was Mabel Siddis-the
latter on hand to block Red Bob's path
way. While she held on to his hand and
assured him they were quite certain to
meet again, in that misfit pretty-woman's
voice of hers, took three steps across the
saloon to where the girl who was not for
me was sitting under window, her ivory
face strangely pale in the gloom of the
falling rain. l took her hand for mo-
ment-it was only moment, indeed; yet
our fingers trailed and slippedfrom one an
other, they did not fall, and said boldly:
"Good-by Isola Bella. I'd have loved
you if l could. And if ever you want

"Good-by," she said. at has-been-

left her with the dusk settling down
about her motionIess head. The stewards
were coming to turn on the lights; they
had not yet reached the saloon. On the
deck, white star after white star sprang
up. l saw nothing of what / had dreaded
no husband waiting for Isola.
WITH the strangeness of coming fever
on me, walked out into the town with
Red Bob. We looked for lodging every
ments-for anywhere, at last, where two
wet, houseless travellers could find shelter.
There was no such place. The capital of
Kaiser Wilhelm Land had no accommo-
dation for strangers; did not like them;
did not want them; abandoned them to
sleep under houses among the piles, and
feed out of rubbish bins, if they so chose.
1t would not put them up. 1t would not
even feed them. We could buy not so
much as piece of bread or glass of beer
in all that inhospitable town.
"Just the same," said Red Bob, II

"Oh, that's it, is it?" said Red Bob, and
put his hand on my forehead. "Nice
kettle of fish; you ought to be in bed!"
The town was dancing round me by
now, and became conscious of red-hot
spine, also of the fact that my legs-not
my feet, they were all right-my legs
were double-jointed and did not work
properly. This, for some curious reason,

THE voyage wore out, and we came to
Simpsonhaven, the capital of Kaiser
Wilhelm Land. Though l did not know
it, the day we entered the harbor l was
sickening for an attack of fever. New
Guinea does not belle its looks. Its hard,
gaudy loveliness is the loveliness of the
tiger, and, like the tiger, it hides talons
beneath its velvet and gold.
Through sunset of blood-red and
liver-purple-a slaughter-house sunset
that stained the sky from west to east

to the town of Rabaul. say again that
l had fever coming on; but, even so,-
even making allowance for the cloud of
wild, dark thoughts that settles on the
mind of the fever-stricken as vultures
settle on corpse,-I see Rabaul as a
place of evil beauty.

Thanksgiving.

The observance of Thanksgiving
Day was general throughout the
length and breadth of the country.
AS an occasion worthy of a God
loving, God-fearing people, America
has at this time much to be thank
full, as we'll as grateful for.
The fact that we have a great,
good, and powerful man as our chief
magistrate, who has had the courage
Of his convictions; who has averted
a brutal war with a great European
power now already at war, and
warded off the necessity for going
against our sister republic, Mexico,
with armed intervention, are the
really worth while things Americans
are proud of and thankful for.
Then, too, the blessing of ample
harvests, and the coming back of
good business conditions, are other
things we may with just feeling be
grateful for.
For peace and plenty, for loyal
ruler of the people-these are Amer
ica's portion, and prayers of thanks
went up on Thursday for the gifts.

Obituary

Charles Eisele, who died, at his
home, on West Washington avenue,
very suddenly on Wednesday of last
week, was buried on Saturday after
noon, interment being in Fairview
Cemetery. The deceased was an old
time resident of the borough and
had many friends. He had beer
ill for several months but was able
to get about the house unaided. He
spent several hours on Wednesday
in the garden, and when coming into
the house complained of faintness.
His wife went to his aid, but as he
dropped into a chair he became un-
conscious and soon passed away. He
is survived by his daughters Helen
Alice, and Anna; also by a son in the
far west.

he promptly squelched. He is now
for Root, as the single strong man
in the Republican party who can
win. There are, Mann points out,
only two Republicans who can be
classed as strong men-Roosevelt
and Root-and at this time Roose-
welt is unavailable as a candidate"
eff it were in my power" said Mr..
Mann, 'I would select for President
the most brilliant man of our time,
Elihu Root. To win we must raise
ourselves above personal animosities
and prejudices. This is not the silly
season. The man who fills the bill
in every detail is Elihu Root. When
the next President is elected he must
be a leader of men and leader of
the nation"
Mr.. Mann belongs to the Republic
can Old Guard; he and his associates
stood stubbornly by their guns and
put Roosevelt out of business in 1912.
Of course the Republican party made
sorry showing in that election, but
under no circumstances could it have
elected it's ticket that year. The Old
Guard continued to be the ruling
power of the Republican party
through its darkest hour and even
until now, when some rays of dawn
break through the encircling dark.
So, we can take it for granted that
the Old Guard, with its hold upon
the machinery of the party, will stand
by Root and that he will probably go
into the convention stronger than any
other candidate. Root as a Presiden-
tial candidate is bound to have been
weakened by the overwhelming de-
feat of the New York constitution,
for which he stood sponsor. He was
president of that convention, and the
chief spokesman for the. constitution,
which went down to defeat by ma
jority of more than 100000. This
circumstance, of course, is not fatal
to Roots Presidential aspirations,
but it has it's own bearing. At this
juncture Root is more likely than any
other Republican to be the opponent
of President Wilson.

Those who remember the days of
yore must recall that manners "were
the glory of the times"-the sur
vival, perhaps, of the days Of
chivalry; but even SO, in that time
the daily lives of men and women,
no matter what their environment,
were polished with the grace of
manners"
The chief characteristic of good
manners is politeness, and it is so
easy to acquire. It costs nothing,
and adds so much excellence and
charm to it's possessor. It always
brings a handsome dividend. Alex
ander Pope said that politeness con-
sists of "being as easy as one can"
It is not necessary to overdo ones
manners, to be the very pineapple
of politeness," as one of Sheridan's
characters in "The School for Scan
dial" says. Ostentation is detestible
as well as intolerable, and bears in
sincerity on it's face.
There is this that all men, all
women, and all children may feel
and be: ressnectfpl, obliging, courte-
GUS, consideratS, affable, attentive.
These are the real requisites and
qualities which make good manners.
When a man or woman has learned
to master these traits, good man.
ners are a foregone conclusion.

Manners.

Good manners are the truest in
dication of refinement. There is as
much effort, perhaps, now in teach
ing children good manners as in other
generations when they were taught
behavior and politeness. And no
doubt the instinct of proper deport-
ment is just as strong in men and
women today as in the days Of our
forefathers. And yet there seems
to be difference, if not a positive
decline in manners.

An interesting event will take
place next week in Palisade. There
will be local fair, the first in the
towns history. To be sure there
have been bazaars at the church, but
no fairs. A fair is an institution
different from anything else. There

things to amuse, and a jolly good

The Candidacy of Root.

We can't help glim what they're
up to in national politics. Teddy is
hot foot after the Republican nomin-
alton. Getting it we'll be told by
trumpet whoop and bugle blare that
progress has taken the grandest old,
corkingest old, bulliest old party
that ever lived out of the hands of
the standpatters and reactionaries.
But have a care, Ted! Take our
warning, Theodore! The Black HUI
Ears have you on their list. They
have your number. They propose to
lance you in the gizzard with the
Favorite Son. The Favorite Son
brigade will get your goat if we don't
watch out. There's Willie Alden
Smithy who is counted on to sew up
Michigan's delegation until it is
needed for Root or a Burton.
Hadley will bottle up the Missouri
delegation. The angelic Penrose is
Pennsylvania candidate for Presi-
dent, dye mind. Sherman will take
days journey with the Illinois dele
cation. Fairbanks is to have
Indiana's vote-on the first ballot.
And so on.

The Bergen Turnpike

After years of negotiations the
Board of Freeholders have voted to
accept the offer of the Bergen Turn
pike Company to turn over to the
county the ownership and control of
the turnpike leading from Hacken-
sack to and through Hudson county.
/, 1t was a good, move, especially in
view of the fact that the county was
not asked to pay anything for the
land and the turnpike company and
it's lessee, the Public Service Railway
Company, have assumed all of the
outstanding bonded Indebtedness, and
have Unidentified the county agaist
being ever called upon to pay any of
the bonds or interest thereon. Ber-
gen is too important county and
is growing too rapidly along sound,
substantial lines to further tolerate
within it's borders toll road which
at best is relic of bygone ages, and
has no place in a progressive COM
munity. When one considers the road
in question is the main artery be-
tween the county seat and the most
accessible section of the metropolis
of the whole country there is all the
more reason why archaic toll gates
should be abolished and free COM
munication established between Ber-
gen municipalities and the important

other uses for it. A little money in
any treasury may always be used to
good advantage, and properly de-
riceted it may be the means of doing
much good. The Triangle Club is a
worthy institution. Nothing tends
to help boys more than an organiza-
ton among themselves. It teaches
them initiative, and how to be self
reliant
Very properly the Public School
has been secured for the boys fair.
It is fine place for 1.-THE only one
in Palisade, in fact. So it behooves
everybody to pitch in and help the
boys in their praiseworthy scheme
to aid their own enterprise.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 81, 1915
After the President.

This is the day of President bait
ing. The old Especial interests"
gang through the medium of an in
fiuenced daily press has made bold
bid for fame in every conceivable
kind of abuse or criticism they can
heap upon President Wilson. Listen
ing to their wailings one must in
deed believe that there is surely a
weakling in the White House. VI
the eastern offenders, the New York
Tribune is the worst, perhaps, fol-
lowed closely by The Sun. -Four
months ago the Tribune was almost
a Wilson champion. 1t stood by him
in some beautiful and patriotic
editorial utterances. The Sun took
the same leaning.
But now what a difference. The
petulance and abuse offered the
President by the Tribune is almost
past all human belief. Mr.. Wilson
has thrown his own country over
board completely. He has been a
traitor to American interests IN
Mexico; has truckled to England;
has never accomplished any diplo-
matte victory over Germany on the
submarine issue for the reason that
the English navy put the German
submarine out of business! 1t is
strange thing indeed that England
did this all of sudden, for up to
the very day of the German-Amerl-
can agreement on the submarine con-
troversy the Germans were busy
manning English shipping.
There ought to be a law in this
country forcing respect for the ma
tons ruler. 1t should be punishable
by Imprisonment for any man to
utter a word of disrespect against
the chief magistrate of these United
States.
These blatant soldiers of the
Fourth Estate, conceited in their own
importance, are greater than any
president. But laying that all aside,
here are a few of the net results
of President Wilson's White House
record:
The enactment of the Reserve
Banking system, acknowledged by its
hottest critic positive success,
and the one redeeming clause in
American finance that can save the
country against possible panic.
The prevention of war of inter-
vention with Mexico, which would
cost billion dollars and the sacri-
flee of 100000 lives. We haven't
lost even our pride in the achieve
ment of this result.
The stopping of war with Ger
many, the discussion of which had
reached the very boiling point.
These are the Big Three wins for
Wilson. There are scores of others.
What more does the country want?
