liked the hogback ride down the line
to Hoboken.

A Sunset.
Sometime when the harvest of Pail
SADIE sunsets is garnered it will in
clude that one of last Saturday, when
the whole heavens We'd with each other
in making display of superimposed
terrestrial wonders that for Spectacu-
lar beauties was different from any
thing ever beheld outside Of the pin
nacles Of the Rockies, or among the
long list of Italian displays that are
noted for the array of blues and Colds
and pinks and scarlets. This latest
PaliSade wonder was one where the
respondent, glistening brilliancy of
the blue depths of the backgrounds of
the other cOlorings was most bewilder-
ing. The huge spears of clouds that
spread out fanlike from west to east
divided at the zenith and those to the
east went up straight like giant plumes
a degree wide, with a pink tone and
feathery edge, very like a tremendous
feather indeed, and its companion
piece to the south, and nearby, by less
definition, perhaps, but both wonder
full. Back in the west the sky was
fairly ablaze with a display of daz-
cling beauty, the marvellous depths Of
blue slightly greening as the minutes
passed, and the diamondlike brilliancy
of the pinks and crimson made riot
of imagery that was as bewildering as
it was mysterious and aluring. The
whole village seemed to be drawn to
if, for neighbors called each other to
knew if they had seen it, and all re-
piled in the affirmative. No soul could
miss it, and few did AS "a spectacle
it was not only overwhelming; it was
enhtralling; and few men, young or
Old ever saw sunset of more won
derful proportions or more glorious
achievement in heavenly wonder. 1t
was something one could never forget,
and it begat thoughts of the great God
of the heavens that sends these things
to subdue the ardOr or evil thought
lest we forget His gracious remem-
branceS in our honor and TO His own
eternal glory. Amen
Six above last Sunday morning. and
in this latitude that is cold enough to
satisfy any Klondiker. New York style
of weather considered.
Mrs. Henrietta Davidson Reynolds is
up from very bad short spell of i'll
ness that was very violent for three
days.
Now that the town has once more
settled down to its best activities for
another year, let everybody see if we
cannot make real town out of Pail
SADIE. Let's all GET together not talk
about it.
The Captain Ross Lillards and Mrs
Evans and Private Buell. of Montana,
now stationed at Camp Merritt with
the regular United States army garri-
son, We're guests of the Ernest Sibleys
last Saturday for dinner.
Hate to say it, but Rev. Charles
Evans knows more good old fashioned
Irish songs than any other man alive,
and all good ones. And he can sing
them right too.
We may many of us have disagreed
with Theodore Roosevelt in many
things, but no real American will UNI
dertake TO say that he was not one of
the worlds greatest men. Had RoOSe-
welt lived 20 years longer the world
would not have known his equal. He
was not at all an old man at sixty. In
fact, he was merely in his prime.
Roosevelt was his own worst enemy by
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. He could not bear
the strain he forced his heart to bear.
But he was Il wonder at that.
