CARIBOU OF THE YUKON.
non of an Old Bull In Guiding and
Guarding His Herd.


ms book, "Campfires In the Yu-
kon," Harry A.. Auer tells how his par
ty watched through powerful glasses
an old bull manage herd of caribou:
Five miles into the sea of peaks
owe our camp we saw a herd Of
IIty -foG .2eaSbou that had been sum-
fiiiering in the high attitudes. but were
now driven out by the winter and were
on the march to lower levels. There
were cows, calves and small bulls in
charge and under the strict domination
of fine old bull with a big head,
which we decided not to shoot for fear
of alarming the sheep that might be
within hearing distance.
= I'VE We're quite content to watch the
old patriarch manage his large family.
We saw him lead the way to small
willow patch, and after his flock had
browsed few minutes he deliberately
drove them away and headed them
down the valley toward us, rushing
first on one side and then on the other
and finally at the rear of the column,
trying to k2kp his charges from stray
, Cling or wandering off the course.
when the caribou saw us at about
IVY yards they started to stampede in
different courses. but the old bull ran
to the head of the column and changed
the leaders, course and, utterly regard
less of his own danger from us, he
rushed about, herding the animals in
the way he had selected and was him
self the last to follow, and as the fly
ing band vanished around low ridge
the old fellow was charging few
smaller bulls from behind, driving
them forward to make compact for
nation"

Traditions Of Mother shipton.

Of all British prophets Mother Ship
ton is beyond doubt the most cele-
brated. She was, in fact. all that a
prophet and witch should be. in
strange contrast to the serious and
scientific Nostrad2mus. The day she
was born the sky became dark and
gloomy and, according to her biogra-
pher, "belcht out nothing for an hour
but flames, laundering after most
hideous manner" Her personal ap.
pearance, described by her admitting
rographer in 1902, is scarcely fatter
ing Her physiognomy was so mis-
shapen that it is altogether impossible
= .to~eXpress fully in words or fer the

t1cations in that line have often at
tempted it, but without success"

ORIGIN OF WORDS.
Expressions Sometimes Stray From
Their Original Meanings.

The word "sweetheart' seems every
thing it ought to be for expressly eness.
One would naturally think that it had
been coined for the occasion, like such
word as ''honeysuckle."
But that is a delusion and a snare.
1t has no more to do with heart" than
it has with lungs" 1t is word that
belongs to the class which includes
"sluggard' and Coward and dull
~ard'' and "nisgard.' Pretty company
for poets word! But it is true, though
sad, that ''sweetheart' ought to be
spelled "sweetard."
Who has not joined in u country
dance? OF course the country dance
reminds one of maypoles and merry
makings and harvest homes. Sir Roger
de Coverley and his quaint rural man
ners and ways seem inseparably con
nected with the dance. But it has no
more connection with fields and hay
stacks and cornricks than the turkey
tro1;1l partners in the dance face
and the French therefore
gscontre danse.' There you
he secrets out.
What are 'kickshaWs?" Just the
French 'quelques chooses" which means
''anything."
What is the origin of tramway? 1t is
short for Outram way because man
named Outram invented them, just as

Village Gossip

Miss Gladys Stewart has been
recent victim of the grip. DR.. Mar
gret Brewster attended her. Miss
Stewart will be kept in bed for two
weeks, as the grip affected her
heart some.
The wisdom of not cleaning off the
sidewalks instead of running snow
wedge along the middle of the road
ways, has again been proven as
foolishness. Once more the authori-
ties need to be reminded that snow
wedge is makeshift and a "show"
effect. What. is really desired is the
snow removed from the sidewalks, so
that women and children may not
have to walk in slush when thaws
come. Men can stand almost any
thing. If the published ordinance
means anything it means that the
borough MUST clear the walks and
charge the cost against the property,
if the owners do not do the work.

War Scare Over.

By the final decree of President
Wilson, acquiesced in by his cabinet,
there will be no war with Germany.
What spectacle presented in these
long negotiations between two of the
worlds greatest nations. One es-
pousing the rights of humanity, the
other believing in it's own rights.
There they stood, each posing before
the world with chip on their Shout
ders ready as Mr.. Wilson said last
May before the Associated Press, to
fight at the 'drop of the hat"
But they didn't fight, thank heaven!
Common sense and the waiting game
of honest motives finally triumphed.
The world must be in full accord with
the American President in the stand
he took-not against Germany, but
in behalf of humanity. Without the
American protest who knows where
submarine warfare would have ex-
tended inself? 1t was a courageous
act to set about solution of a war
evil of this magnitude, yet the vision
of one man foresaw its dangers and
actually rooted it out by a stubborn
yet manly resistance that forced
conviction. Germany has not backed
down; she has merely admitted a
wrong. That is enough. And it was
honorable. There is much to be
thankful for in Mr.. Wilson's triumph,
but a generous people will not gloat
over it.

False American EcOnOmY.

The present food-stage of water
in the Mississippi river brings to
mind one of the most important sub
jects before the American public to-
day. This great valley through
which the "Father of Waters" runs
is vast section of great richness.
Yet the record of absolute loss in
dollars from the recurrent floods
must needs be up in the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
We doubt if any other nation in
the world would have allowed this
tremendous annual waste of the
country's resources as the United
States has done.
The great concern of the govern
ment and the people to-day is, shall
this loss continue?
The services of the greatest en-
gineers in the world should be en-
ployed to formulate plan of dykes
or levees to make these impoverish
ing floods impossible. 1t is all a
question of going to it. It is not an
impossible task, and the work should
run from st. Louis to the Gulf.
The toll of cash will be heavy, but
there will be corresponding saving
in human lives, and property. Di-
rectly or Indirectly this vast waste is
a national isaster. 1t affects the
whole country. 1t is therefore not a
problem of a single state, or group
of states; it is one belonging to the
whole country.
There are no doubts on the great
and growing necessity of this Miss
issippi river problem. 1t ranks in
Importance with the Panama canal.
Not only does it involve the reclama-
tion of millions of acres of rich, fer
tile lands, but it means the saving of
many lives, the saving of millions
of money values that are annually
swept away through the country's
neglect. A nation that neglects to
study its own internal economic pol
icies and demands is standing in the
light of its own progress. The crea-
ton of Mississippi River Commits
sion should be one of the proudest
duties of the present Congress, and
it should be empowered to go to it
and do it.

The Lusitania Case.

Contending for the highest prin-
ciple than can exist among nations
at war, the President of the United
States has at last gotten the Lusi-
tania incident adjusted to the salts
facion of himself and everybody ex-
cept the jingoists. The final settle
ment will, no doubt, cut Theodore
Roosevelt to the core, but that is
unimportant.
That the game of German politics
had much to do with the long con-
tention over this celebrated case is
easy to understand. The German
press under control has kept the
salient facts from the German popu
lace. To them any act of war has
seemed justifable. They are not to
blame for thinking this. All they
think of is the winning of the war.
Mere details Of craftsmanship or the
rights of neutral nations is as moth
ing to them.
But there is no doubt that the Ger
man leaders know of the wrong in
sinking the Lusitania. And now hav-
ing disavowed the act and called it
another name, there will be peace be-
tween the two countries. This will
be glad and joyous news to every
body. Nobody wants war with Ger
many and never did. President Will
sons triumph has been complete and
his war policies are at last COM
mended. He never wavered, never
once changed his original demands.
Thus the glory of being fair and
stable comes to him at time when
his critics were getting more and
more ardent. They are now COM
pletely disarmed. His wisdom has
saved America from an appalling ca
lamity.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1871
Abraham Lincoln.

The recurring birthday of Abraham
Lincoln has only tended to increase
the reverence the world holds for
this great commoner. Born OF really
Indifferent parentage, Lincoln liter
ally came up from the ranks, edu-
Gated himself largely, and by a
gradual development became Presl-
dent of the United States. No other
man ever became President with so
humble an origin.
But the humble origin appears to
have acted as stimulus to his thirst
for knowledge. And while he never
became what the world calls scholarly,
there was yet behind the writings
and public utterances of Lincoln a
certain quality of thought, and purity
of diction that few men have ever
surpassed. His Gettysburg speech
has stood the test that the mos criti-
cal scholars could place upon it, yet
it ha stood every trial. That it was
a scholarly production is admitted,
because it had meaning which was
direct, simple, truthful.
With all of the varying opinions
and analyses Of Lincoln as man, he
appears to rise higher and higher In
the worlds estimation as time goes
on. Perhaps in another century the
critics will find many flaws at which
they may pick, but it will be like
clawing with bare nails against a
marble statue and expecting to deface
it.
Being very human man, Abraham
Lincoln was also superman. He
lowered so much above the common
herd, yet was initially so democratic
and unpretentious, that to him being
natural was his greatest mark of dis
tinction.

Profanity.

There are so many views and vary
ing degrees of profanity, that to
form an idea of just what profanity
is is not altogether easy of definition
If one go to the dictionary and
finds that profanity is irreverence to
the Deity, history shows that peo-
pies of all ages have been more or
less profane in this direction.
The French were once wont to call
the English "bygods," yet the French
"Mon dieu" is common even to-day.
The ancient Latin days found peoples
swearing by the head of Jove Tor
Jupiter), and the Greeks swore by all
sorts of gods and goddesses-scores
of them. The Chinese swear by the
bones of Confucius, and the Mo-
hammedan swears "by Allah" These
people do not think of this form of
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-02-12
expression as swearing, but rather as
the use of an eXpletive.

expression as swearing, but rather as
the use of an expletive.
In modern polite society one finds
"gosh," "golly," "geewhiz" and other
meaningless words taking the place
of real swear words. Of course, lewd
swearing is the most reprehensible
kind, and men sink very low in moral
degradation who engage in it. Even
the slangy expression like gosh"
and it's mates are vulgar.
The popular idea that swearing is
taking the name of God in vain is
no doubt the correct one. A polite
"d-n" is not orthodox, but there are
many who regard it as a sort Of
safety valve, and it sometimes re-
lieves ones feelings nightly to rip
out the little word. The Holy Name
Society is a good institution even if
it did no more than to stop men (and
many womenD from swearing in the
name of the Deity.
There is no doubt in the minds of
many that the habit of swearing is
unmanly, and that it indicates care
less moral standards. AS an indica-
ton of aggressiveness it carries
more noise than weight, and any man
is better off for having cultivated
the habit of not swearing.

Senator Edges Campaign.

The statement of Senator Edge
published elsewhere, gives some in
teresting light on that worthy gem
tleman's candidacy for the governor
ship of New Jersey. He makes a
very favorable impression in what he
says, and being very shrewd poll
tician, it is going to take mighty
good, or mighty big man to beat
him out of the nomination. He is
going about the business of being
governor exactly like he says he
wants to run the State government
in a thoroughly business-like manner.
His appeal is clean-cut and manly all
the way through. Business ideals
are taking deep root in this day and
generation, and Senator Edge is de-
termined to keep up with the pro-
cession.

"The Palisadian" is inclined to
felicitate itself. Out of the list of
subscription renewals sent out in
December last, more than eighty-five
per cent. have sent in checks to cover
the cost of the paper for another full
year. Few village newspapers can
boast of greater loyalty than this.
1t is an act of appreciation for the
service we have rendered in the way
of publishing a newspaper for the
Hilltop section which has told its
own story.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to say that at the present time
more than at any time in the papers
history more new readers are COM
ing into this Office. Last week there
were more than 200 extra copies sold.
One little boy in Grantwood is now
selling almost 100 alone each week,
besides getting five new paid annual
subscriptions last week in Grantwood.
He is Master Edward Corristan, and
in himself he represents great deal
of genuine hustle. He is certainly

Can Preparedness Win?

The recent tour of President Will
son through the middlewest can only
be success in the event of congress
backing up some form of prepared
ness program. He put all of his
wonderful personality into his
speeches, and for the purpose in
tended they could scarcely have been
better.
But unless the people through their
representatives in congress express
their views on the subject, it is not
going to be such easy sailing as one
might imagine following the home
coming of Mr.. Wilson after his tri-
umphant tour on which he was re-
ceived with loud acclaim everywhere.
The general public does not under
stand the bottom reason of the Presi-
dents tour in behalf of a program
for better protection. The Bryan
campaign for peace at any price has
been one of those cool, premeditated
fights for which he is noted. In his
paper "The Commoner," he has pub
lished many recent articles, many Of
them under his own signature, advis-
ing his constituents against any plan
of preparedness. One of these is as
follows, printed in large type across
the papers first page, headed:
'Write, Write Now. Write Often"
Every American citizen who
is opposed to the proposed in
crease in the appropriations for
the army and navy ought to
write to his Congressman, both
of his Senators and to the Presi-
dent. Individual letters are bet
ter than petitions because they
indicate a personal interest, and
personal interest expressed by
constituent has it's influence
with public servant.
1t will only require four let
tiers, one to your Congressman,
one to each of your Senators and
one to the President-only eight
cents worth of postage-to give
to those at Washington the bene-
fit of your views.
No doubt many thousands read
this insidious declaration, and the
President was flooded with letters.
This thing of itself let in the light on
Bryan's campaign, and no doubt in
fiuenced President Wilson more than
anything else to go to the people
direct in the kind of an appeal he is
so capable of making on the nations
preparedness demands.
