His Plumber.

And after it he runs up hill, down dale,
and everywhere.
And as he keeps pursuing it for many
a weary mile
1t seems as if twas shrinking, growing
smaller all the while.
When first he starts out after it it's size
is huge, immense.
But when he catches it at last it looks
like thirty cents!

HENRY VIII.
Beginning the day-Lord, the ages
come and go, but Thou standest Con-
ditions change, old things pass away;
the world is new. Yet Thou art the
same. Thou still rewardest sin and
righteousness each after it's kind. And
Thou art still our Father with pity and
love for every child.-H. M. E.
Lieut. and Mrs. Paul Berkey are
residing now in Leonia at 800 Grand
avenue where they have a cosy little
home. They are greatly interested in
the start they have made at house
keeping. They are still loyal to Pail
SADIE, buying most of their supplies
from the Palisade Supply Market.
Well, sir, last Saturday was one for
the record of dampness, including fog,
rain, wet-wet, rag-wet, gOod-Wet, and
all other kinds of wetness that ever
came along. And there was enough
penetration in the misty rain to go
clean through a rubber coat.
The New York Illustrated Daily
News is running at the present time
a limerick contest They solicit the
"last lines to the limerick published
daily, then publish the prize winner,
who gets 500 cash. For instance the
verse they published last Saturday
read,
When the Ark had been loose for a
week,
The dove flew away, but returned
the next day,
Surprised the old tub didn't leak.
The Palisadian contribution.
Try your hand at it. The News is
only two cents.
Joe Wolpert has laid in the finest
stock of Christmas goods he ever had.
He really makes fine show. Toys
have made wonderful advances of late,
and few ever before saw so many
novelties.
Mrs Fl. D. Reynolds attended the
army and navy game last Saturday,
with her cousin, Cadet Ebert Davidson,
of Washington City. Both were much
depressed at the way the game turned
out.
The statement is made that the West
Point cadets had a large sum wagered
on last Saturdays game with the navy
Some say the amount was as high as
~sS90e, 9a9.~ One would hardly believe it.
Allan Carson has developed himself
in muscular efficiency to an amazing
extent. He will undoubtedly be a
very strong man. His back, chest and
stomach muscles are little short of
wonderful.
When the town loafer gets so badly
off his own family will not counte-
nance him, he has sunk pretty low.
Anybody too lazy to work should leave
town. There is a law of vagrancy that
should be applied.
The Jonah Sermons.
Rev. H. P. Guhse, pastor of the Pal
isade Union Church, has been preach
ing a series of sermons for the past
five Sundays on the career of Jonah,
the first accepted missionary spoken
of and accredited as such in the Bible.
The sermons were delivered under
rather novel series of titles, and were,
'"Taking to His Heels,' "Rocked in the
Cradle" Heavy Clouds with Silver
Lining" Looking for Whale" and
Cup a Milf Tree"
The sermons as whole were all
strong and treated the life of Jonah
as one about which more jests had
been made than any other in all Bible
history. Each of them contained some
reference either to national or local
DEFICIENCIES, and all were filled with
applications that were full of line
meaning as related to our daily lives.
He considered the life of Jonah one
of the most interesting and valuable
day contained more reference to local
Jonahs than any other and once or
twice he hit out hard from the Shout
der, especially in his reference to those
who have been raising all sorts of dis
putatious talk over the Red Cross.
Allan Carson and Howard Lane were
the escorts of Misses Marie and Helen
Anderson to the Englewood high school
dance last Saturday night. The Pail
SADIE visitors were particularly popular
meaning, of course, more the feminine
contingent of it. The EnglewOod boys
fairly swarmed around the Anderson
girls, who had the time of their young
lives so popular were they with the
SWANS of dance party. Coming home
in an auto one of the young ladies lost
her hat ON the road by the wind. A
long search failed to find it.
Now that the class in spelling is up,
