Boy Finds Nine
Dollars, And Gives
It To The Police

There is an honest boy in Jersey
City. There may be more than one,
but none can claim greater laurels
than 14-year-old John McQuade, of
154 First Street, who after finding
nine dollars, last Monday, FASTENED
to the City Hall station with it and
deposited it with Captain Cody, ask
ing him to find the owner.
He fastened to his home and told
his mother of his find and asked if
she thought it would be best to turn
the money over to the police. Captain
Cody took the money and praised the
lad for his honesty. He said that
unless he found the rightful owner
within a reasonable time the sum
would be returned to the boy.

object between the thumb and first
finger of his left hand and pointed
at it impressively with the index
finger of his right hand.
"For this little article" he ex-
claimed, 81 wouldn't take a farm"
AS the ancient Carpenter is the ac-

of the Curbstone club, the other
members gathered about him to hear
his latest effort.
"Looks to me like a collar buttdn,
the fat plumber observed.
"And so it is"
"What is so valuable about it ?"
"It saved my life once"
"How?"

Beautiful New Home.
MeLeCato Residence,
Finest In PaIisade

What is generally recognized as
the finest residence yet erected in
Palisade, and one of the finest in
this section of northern New Jersey,
has recently been completed for John
A. LIE Cato, in Bluff road and Area
dian way, Palisade. 1t was designed
by Architect Granville Dexter, and
is a great credit to his good taste
and skill. The home is of the Colonial
type, a modernized ideal of the Geor-
gian, and the combination is one of
rare excellence as a whole.
The material used in construction
is terra Gotta hollow tile, with tapes
try brick facing. The roof is OF
variegated green thing, and forms a
fine finish to the design. The trim
on the outside is pure white marble
and is very effective.
The front entrance porch is one OF
the distinctive features of this fine
home. 1t is particularly Colonial,
with white columns, iron ratings.
The door is of loaded glass design,
with side lights the same. 1t gives
the house fine, distinguished setting.
On the east end of the house there
is semi-porch, with a pergola trellis
on the caves, with balcony on the
second story, from which a beautiful
view of the Hudson and New York
City may be obtained. This addition
is heated from the house furnace, and
may be screened in summer for open
air lounging. AS solarium in winter
it is tastefully furnished with rugs
and light divan, chairs, etc. The
windows are of plate glass through
out the house.
A freproof garage is built on the
south side and attached to the house,
and is so arranged that one may step
from the automobile into the house
in any kind of weather. There is
also a sleeping apartment for the
chauffeur. In fact, everything about
this beautiful home is thoroughly
modern and up-to-date in every par
ticular.
Mr.. LIE Cato has furnished his new
home with much good taste through
out, there being wealth of Oriental
rugs, many well-executed oil paint
ings, bronzes, and nothing overdone
in the way of furniture crowding. In
fact, the home is a model Of perfect
taste in every way, credit to the
owner as we'll as to the builder. 1t
could scarcely be improved upon, and
is everything to be desired.
