An Intimate Prayer.
Little Mott Guhse, the four-year-old
son of the Palisade minister, is loyal to
the tenets of his parents faith and
each night before retiring makes his
own little prayer. His mother SAYS
some of his voluntary efforts are not
only original, but some of them really
cute, as nearly as that expression could
be applied to a child's prayer, and said
here with no thought of sacrilege. The
other night when the father was away
on trip for his Sunday school work in
another part of New Jersey little Mott
said his usual PRAYER and when he had
said amen" turned to his mother and
said: Mother, ] forgot to pray for dad
dy. Maybe he might get run over by
an automobile or something" Then
Mott said, kneeling again, "And God,
please bless daddy and keep him from
being run over by an automobile" then

The Cliffside High nine scored their
second victory of the season on We'd
nesday afternoon when they easily de-
feated the ST. Michaels of West Ho-
boken at Hudson County park.
"Nippy Vanderbach was in the box
for the Cliffside boys and his brother,
Harry, did the backstop work. The
latter is going to make the big leagues
if some coach happens to see him per-
form. He hit two home runs. Both
times he sent the ball sailing over the
left fielder,S head. George Perraud
also did good work with the stick as
did ali the rest of the local boys. While
the Saints got one run off "Nippy,"
the Cliffsides pummelled their pitcher
for twenty-five runs.

Mr.. William A. LETTER, son-in-law of
the Harry Clarks, of Edgewood Lane,
Palisade, was recently elected mayor
of Hayre de Grace, Md. The election
took place May ), and though Mayor
Leffiler did not covet the place, he
was chosen because the people thought
his merits the tittest of any other man
in the town, hence his election. Havre
de Grace is noted for its race track,
at which there has been an annual
meeting for many years. Its new
mayor should prove an added attrac-
| ton.

occasion without DIR. Beattie, who has
never before missed one of these pic
mics. He tells with much interest that
the children always talk about their
visit to Palisade six months before
they come over and for six months
after.
Lieutenant Paul Berkey arrived last
