When you go to bed at night and
are all tucked in. you shut your eyes
and go to sleep knowing that you
are safe from ali harm and that
unless you have bad dream or
tummyache you will not wake un-
til the jolly Little Sunbeams come
creeping In ut the window in the
morning. But 1t Is different with
the little people Of the Green Mead
ows and the Green Forest, especial
ly the little feather folk. Those
who sleep at night never close their
eyes feeling sure that they may not
be awakened at any hour to Cy for
their lives. SO going to bed In with
them a very important matter.
Bob White and Mrs. Bob took
the greatest care to teach the Is
little Bob Whites how very impor-
tant this Ii. When they were very
small Mrs. Bob gathered them un-
der her wings. and you may be sure
she slept very lightly. But when
they had grown too big for this and
had learned to fly she taught them
another way Of sleeping.

Anti Sufragists
Resent Palisadian
Publications

Cliffside's group of Anti-Suf-
fragetts are highly indignant over
the statement made in some of the
local papers that they had become
faint hearted and might not appear
IN the debate at the Congregational
Church on next Thursday evening.
One of the ladies who will take up the
negative side of the proposition, Gre
solved That Woman Should Have the
Ballot" made it plain to "Plisadian"
representative this week that very
large proportion of Cliffside's popu-
lation is lined up with the Ants and
that their work is being carried on
with great energy though every effort
is made to avoid the notoriety seek
ing and self aggrandizing methods of
their opponents. The Ants will have
a strong representation at the debate
and assert that their arguments will
be presented in a logical and lady
like maner. The Equal Suffrage
League is also lining up its forces
and when the two sides meet in YER
bal battle something of great interest
may be anticipated.

New High School
For Englewood.

Both the present Palisade pupils
who attend Englewood High School,
and the Palisade grammar school
pupils who intend to enter high school
in a few years, will welcome the an
nouncement that Englewood is ii,
last taking definite steps towards the
construction of a fine, new modern
high school building.
The High School is at present
located in the Franklin School build
ing, which, when it was built in 1907
was sufficiently large for both the
Franklin Grammar School and the
Englewood High School. Since 1907,
however, the High School has grown
almost incredibly, owing to the
enormous influx of pupils from sur
rounding towns for miles around.
Each year, the authorities have real
lied that the facilities of Franklin
School were becoming more and more
inadequate for the demands made by
the almost overlooking High School.
Palisade pupils have had a hard
time getting in for several years be-
cause of the crowded conditions. All
the claSS-roomS are oVercroWded at
each period. The laboratory, which
was intended for about dozen pupils,
has to be used by about thirty at one
time. The conditions are in the same
proportion throughout the building.
An old residence on the land adjacent
to Franklin School, has been recon
CT II1n &c tat.c
for the Commercial department and
as a recitation building.
The Board of Education now con-
siders erecting new building on the
plot occupied by the Annex. An APP
preparation of $150,000 has been
asked for, and it is hoped by all con-
cerned that it will be obtained.
Englewood High School now has an
enrolment of AIT, Is of whom come
from Palisade and Grantwood. The
standing of the School is so high that
its certificates admit all its pupils to
colleges where the only requirement
for entrance is high school certif-
cate. When an Englewood pupil goes
to college, almost inevitably excellent
reports Of that pupils work are sent
to the High School.
Three boys from this section have
recently been chosen members of the
casts of two one-act comedies which
are to be produced under the COM
bined auspices of the Omega Rho
Alpha Society and the Pickwick Club
of Englewood High School. Est.
Flagge and Robert Blue are in one
cast, and Randolph Brown in the
other.
The Senior play of the Englewood
High School, which has among the
members of its cast the Misses Marion
Flagge, Katherine Cohen, and Evelyn
Cohen, of Palisade, and Octavia Stone
and Alice Thayer, of Grantwood, will
be produced Friday evening, April %

Beautiful Snow
Covers The Palisades
Mantle of Wonderful White Is
Spread In Fdiry-like Shapes
Over All Shrubbery And
Trees Like lakeland.

After a shortage of snow, the
"beautiful' took it upon itself to
come down quite heavily on last
Saturday and all that night, and
after good start in the afternoon,
by nightfall, there was one of the
most beautiful snowfalls ever seen
anywhere. 1t was not cold snow, but
held on to everything it hit with the
tenacity of glue, and the trees and
shrubbery looked like forest of
cotton. Indeed, it was one of the
rarest sights ever seen in this part
of the country Last Sunday morn
ing the vision was one of a real fairy
land, species of snow description
as old as Adam, but on this occasion
it was just about the fariest ever
Wires bent and finally broke, shrub
berry was bending over like a minia-
ture water falls of white, while the
trees with bare limbs looked like they
had been frosted two inches thick in
sea foam. Garden ropes that are used
for drying clothes, were like poles,
and were the size of three or four
inch hausers, though they would not
have held any kind of boat except
those one hears of in Dreamland. Oh,
but they were beautiful ropes. They
fulfilled all of the qualifications of
iiogarth's Lines of Beauty, their long
curvings, looking like they were all
ready there to form the hold-ups for
the fairies suspension bridges that led
into the land of Enchantment, or the
realm of the Imagination, or to the
Gardens of Interchangeable. Any
how, as snow storm that fell as
silently as the whispers of angels, is
was all that hearts that sigh for the
beautiful could have had offered, and
it did not cost cent except the
anxiety as to how the pesky stuff
could be gotten rid of on a Sunday,
without busting galluses and things
to shovel it off the stoop and side
walks.

Park Ridge, NJ j.,
Has Boss Fake
Robber Story.

Masked robbers entered the NUM-
cipal Electric Light plant at Park
Ridge, N. j., near Hackensack, late
last Sunday night and bound and
gagged the young engineer in charge.
He was Edward Griesch, 23, and the
bad men threatened to kill him if he
did not throw off the town lights so
they could operate. Griesch told a
thrilling tale of his experience. The
robbers took 1869 of his own savings
they found in his overcoat. He was
found at siX-thirty the next morning
by some one who discovered the town
lights were still on at that hour and
went to investigate. The youthful
engineer baked at the "hero stuff"
and said he didn't see why a man
couldn't do his duty without so much
fuss being made over it.
A Later Confession
Did you read in Mondays paper
how brave Edward Griesch, engineer
of the towns electric light plant at
Park Ridge, N. j., defied three armed
bandits who entered the power house
and demanded that he extinguish the
lights so that they might pillage the
village in darkness?
And how they beat him and threat
ened to shoot him, and said only a
few minutes of life remained unless
he did their bidding? And, how, when
he courageously refused, they tied
him hand and foot, stole 50 out of his
clothing, and $360-his carefully ac-
cumulated savings-out of his locker?
You read it? All right, Forget it
Eddie Griesch didn't do any such
a thing.
County Detectives Blauvelt and
Courier, looking for the robbers
young Glieseh told about, met lot
of Eddie's friends Monday and yester-
day. The friends marvelled that Ed
die could have had so much money
as 1869, especially as he was known
,rs crap-shooting enthusiast. So
they put him through the third de-
gree yesterday, and they say he con-
fessed.
'Another young fellow and l
wanted to get some money for our
carbrake patent" the detectives quote
him as saying, $50 we made up this
bandit plan, thinking the people Of
the village would chip in and con-
tribute the sum l said l lost. The
other fellow tied me up and mussed
things around the plant, and when |
was discovered | told about the three
burglars.
But nobody Clipped in. l guess l
set the amount too high. 1t seemed
great fun to be a hero in the news
papers and have all my friends con-
graduate me on preventing a robbery
of the town. | enjoyed it. But Pm
sorry now | told the yarn"
No legal action was taken against
young Griesch, and it is doubtful if
anything will be done. He is twenty
three and single. He was still on the
jog at the power plant Yesterday

Did Ye Iuuer See
Amy o. That
Leather Money?

A "Paiisadian" reporter on a vel
low car the other day, leaving Wee
hawken, happened to pull out several
buffalo nickles from his right vest
savings bank pocket and was examin-
ing the dates, which are not easy to
define. Next to him sat big, raw
boned Irishman, who looked like a
steveadore. His eye caught the
nickles, and he could not resist the
opening they offered for a neigh
borly confiabe.
"They're maxim thin things in
New York now, see," he remarked.
"No, all the buffalo nickles are
made in Denver" he was told.
"Well, thin, they're maxim some
kind O. money down at the mint in
Wall street, know that" he insisted.
mo, you're wrong again. There
is no mint in New York, and they
don't make any money there" re-
piled the reporter.
"Well, thin, they finish it there
know thot," Pat insisted.
"4ou are not right again. All coin
is finished at the mints in Philadel-
phia, New Orleans, Denver and San
Francisco.
"But they make paper money in
New York, | know thot's, certain"
After pause. 81 wonder what's be-
come O. thin slim plasters we used
to have so many of thin around ?"
he once more queried.
"Oh, they are all mostly in the
museums or in private collections"
he was told.
"Well, let me ask We somethin';
Did we liver see any o. that leather-r-r
money!" asked Pat.
Leather money? No, l never be-
fore head Of leather money" the re-
porter replied.
aye nivver? Well, sor, they had
it r-r-r-ight here in old New York.
| remember jist afther the civil
war-r-r they paid off the min over
be Thoird avenue wild leather money,
sor-yes, sor, leather-r-r money. The
min didn't loike it, and took it up to
the company's office and got silver
for-r-r it. Indade they did. l was
sent there mesilf, but l heard me
father and uncles tellin' of it."
"Edgewater Heights!" called the
conductor, and Pat and the car went
on as the scribe alighted, still smill-
ing at Pats idea that work-hour
checks made of leather were real
money.

Palisades Amusement Park

Council Decides To Get As Much As Fort Lee Borough
From Pleasure Resort Measure Put Through In
Rush, With Some Opposition Other Matters

Nine of the ten seats within the
council rail of Cliffside Park council
chamber were filled when the meet
ing was finally called to order at 8:15
at Borough Hall last Monday night.
Attorney Agnew was absent, being
still confined to his bed by illness.
Mayor Newman presided.
Business was the order of the even
ing, and much was driven through;
though action was not wholly unani-
nous, as will be shown. Ordinances
that have been slowly taking shape,
all of a sudden seemed to acquire a
new lease of life, received amend
ments on second reading, then third
reading, and passed with a bang. In
this way the Amusement Park" or
dinance was passed, and ordered ad-
vertised AS a result of this, amuse-
ment parks of five acres and over, in
order to exist, must pay yearly
license fee of 81, 500. AS was the
case at the first reading of this or
dinance, determined opposition was
made by Councilmen Flood and Naed-
Ter, on the ground that the sudden in
crease from a $500 license to a 81 800
license was unreasonable and alb
normal. Hints of possible retaliation
were uttered. Evidences of this were
seen in a counter attack by these
