AT EVENTlDE

Poor and inadequate the shadow-play
OF gain and loss, of waking and OF
dream,
Against Life's solemn background
needs must seem
AT this late hour. Yet not unthank-
fully
/ call to mind the fountains by
the way,
The breath of flowers, the bird song
on the spray,
Dear friends, sweet human loves, the
JOY of giving,
And of receiving the great boon of
living
In grand historic years when Liberty
Has need of word and work; quick
sympathies
For all who fail and suffer; songs
relief,
Natures uncloying loneliness; and
chief
The kind restraining hand of Provi
dence. -

EPiSCOPALlANS ARE WAKING UP
AND ARE GOING FORWARD.

Do you know what the Nation Wide
Campaign is? 1t is the call of the
Episcopal church to mobilize it's mem
bers. For what? The answer is sim
ple-to come back to church. Salts
tics show that 2-3 of the people in the
Episcopal church actually attend
church, and are interested in the
Church's work. The other 1-3 must
be brought back. Will you help?
The next meeting will be held next
Thursday evening at the Parish House,
Palisade avenue where workers are
needed. All you need is a heart
You don't need a nickel
Billy Sunday said 1.-THE Episcopal
Church is asleep, but when it wakes
up-LOOK OUT" We are in the act
of waking up. If you are an Episco-
palian, or interested in our church,
put your shoulder to the wheel.
Through the columns of this paper,
the latest developments of the move
ment will be given. If however, you
wish any further details, Mr.. Norman
Stuart, chairman of the Publicity Com
mittee, can be reached by phone at

Best to Secure Proof.

LIES big business is to prove
things. There's much small chatter
whenever people get together, but 1t
may easily end at that The truly big
issues of life demand the fullest proof
and the most rigid security. So the
man who takes things for granted sub
jects himself to disappointments and
makes little or no progress. As mat
ter of fact. there Is very little that one
dare take for granted. Life has so
many exceptions, so many contingent
cies that one can never tell just what
will happen next. So the wise man
will take nothing for granted. He will
prove everything and base his future
on what he has learned to trust. AZ
ter all. that's the only safe way to do.

The following speech was made by
Benjamin Franklin at the convention
which adopted the United States Con-
stitution:
"Mr. President, I confess that I do
not entirely approve this Constitution,
but l am not sure that I shall never
approve it. I have experienced many
instances of being obliged by better in
formation or fuller consideration to
change opinions even on important
subjects which l once thought right
and found to be otherwise. In these
sentiments l agree to this Constitution,
with all its faults, if they are such. I
doubt too, whether any other conven-
ton we can obtain may be able to
make a better Constitution. The opin-
ions I have had of Its errors I sacri-
fee to the public good. I cannot help
expressing wish that every member
of this convention who may have OBJ
jections to it would with me on this
occasion doubt little of his own in
fallibility and to make manifest our
unanimity put his name to this instru-
ment,"

ended it's first month at the Globe

ing new attendance records at that

musical success of the season and
the enthusiasm with which it is re-

composed of both discerning music
lovers and playgoers, gives substan-
tial proof that the public, when Civ

Slams Amazon Guard.

Siam is one of the few countries
which boast of corps of women po-
lice. The members of this amazon
guard are all old and homely. They
wear a uniform, but are not armed.
Their chief duty is to act as gate
keepers of the inner, or women's pal
ace at Bangkok.
They follow any stranger who enters
the palace and remain with him until
he takes his departure. They see that
there is no mischief made and that no
one makes love to the royal wives and
women. Men who have business inside
the palace-doctors, architects, car
penters, electricians, etc.-enter the
palace freely, but are always accom-
panied by some of the amazon guard.
The palace has some difficulty in re-
cruiting these guards, as the work Is
hard, the pay poor and the qualifica-
ton uncomplimentary.

CAPTAIN MATLACK
KNOWS NO FEAR
Daring Cavalry Leader Is Terror
to Bandits on Mexican
Border.
ANSWERS THREAT With SHOT
Ability for Coping With Banditry Led
to Speedy Promotion From Ser.
geant to Captain During
Four Years.

San Antonio, Tex.-Capt. Leonard
j. Matlack, commander of Company
K, Eighth United States cavalry, is to-
day the most feared American that
Mexican bandits have encountered on
the Texas border. He Is feared more
than the Texas rangers. who for years
were the only official guardians of the
peace in that remote country. His
men are of the fighting, daring type,
but Captain Matlack's desire to go it
alone when handling difficult situa-
tons has struck terror to the hearts
of Mexican evildoers who are learning
not to commit offenses in country
where he is known to be stationed.
When Captain Matlack went to
Candalaria, Tex, four years ago, he
was a sergeant. He took station with
his company at small, isolated COM
munity on the banks of the Rio
Grande. They soon found themselves
in hotbed of banditry, which Mat
lack determined must be cleared.
Matlack Clever and Daring.
Matlack found that the leader of the
bandit crew in San Antonio was Chico
Cano, former captain in the Carran-
"a army. Matlack visited San Antonio
alone at different times and met Cano,
informing him that unless he ceased
his lawless practices he would meet
a sudden death. 1t was not long after
that Can0 attempted a raid and got
several hundred cattle. Matlack took
hn lii Cd
Cano and drove the cattle back into
Texas
In like manner he met and killed a
brother of Jesus Renterias, the BAN
dit leader who held the aviators, Davis
and Peterson, in captivity, pending the
payment of ransom money. 1t was
Matlack who outwitted the Mexican
bandits when he went alone to rescue
Peterson and Davis and escaped with
half the ransom money, inviting death
for himself and the aviators. -
Takes Long Chances.
On one occasion Matlack and his men
were surrounded by an overwhelming
force of Mexicans. Instead of MAX
ing a stand to fight, as the bandits ex-
pected, Matlack ordered a charge, rode
down the Mexicans and killed 35 of
their number Matlack's men suffered
one slight casualty.
Not long after this a cattle ranch
near Candalaria was raided. Matlack
and his men pursued and killed the
Mexicans and recovered the cattle.
Later Matlack went back to look for
more cattle. While he was riding
around the town shot was fred from
an adobe house. The bullet went wild.
Matlack boldly kicked in the door Of
the house and killed the Mexican who
had fired at him. In virtually every en-
counter with Mexicans Matlack has
taken long chances, but he has always
gotten his man.

EDGEWATER BOOTH CLOSED AZ
TER 1s MONTHS WONDERFUL
SERVICE

The War Camp Community Ser
vice Bureau closed Oct. 81 after a
very successful term of IS months
work on the part of two hundred
patriotic volunteers from Cliffside,
Palisade and Edgewater.
The ladies who gave their time
each week at the booth in their turn,
were, without exception, always
ready and willing to do what they
could to help or give information to
the Soldiers and Sailors. They at
all times had a pleasant word for
anyone who cared to come to
the booth. Some of the workers, on
request, sewed on buttons, chevrons,
ETC., for the boys.
The following is letter received
by Mrs. Wescott from Headquarters:
New York City,
Oct.N 80, 1919.
To whom it may concern:
The splendid work of the ladies at
the Edgewater Information Booth has
often come to our notice We want
you to understand how sincerely we
appreciate your efforts.
The efficiency and cooperation
evinced by the workers during the
existence of the Booth has greatly
contributed to the successful work of
the New York War Camp Community
Service.
We sincerely thank you for your
efforts and very helpful assistance

Battling Owls Make
Kansas Streets Unsafe

Republic, Kan.-The streets
of this town are unsafe for
pedestrians after dark on &C.
count of the nightly battles be-
tween large flocks of owls. Re-
naming in the trees during the
day, they swarm about like To-
Gusts at night and have become
so numerous and vicious that
they attack human beings. 1t is
unsafe for women and children
to venture out after dark.
In several instances persons
have been struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. One
woman was painfully hurt by
direct attack from an owl which
she had tried to ward off with
an umbrella.
Steps are being taken by the
authorities to rid the city of its
strange pests. Such a condition,
it is said, was never known here
before, although owls have al
ways been numerous in this sec
ton of the state.

If the people of Palisade who
imagine they have cause for differ

would have an awakening by asking
themselves what it is. Because peo-
pie differ in opinion on any subject is
no real cause for enmity and hate The
doctrine against the thought that
there is cause for difference should be
preached by every one having home
in the village. We have a precious
heritage here to hand down to the
coming generation. Let it be said
that Palisade dwelt in good fellowship
with its people. Petty differences are
both ignoble and contemplate. Not
only that, they are narrow and retard
any people who make a practice of
harboring them. Listen, people, bury
your foolish pride and close up all
these little breaches that you imag
inc your happiness depends on hold
ing to them 1t is a species of small
ness every one should rise above. In
union there is strength, and no one
but very selfish person is going to
persist in harboring unwarranted i'll
feeling. In after years some one will
say of another here, ''He was the
meanest man that ever lived" when
ne might have been one of the best.
