Pastor Miller
Quits Cold Under
Young Boys Fire

Rev. William J. r. Miller, who re-
signed as pastor of the North Hack
ensack Reformed church at midnight
on Nov. II following a stormy special
session of the consistory which had
met to hear sensational charges
against him, will not face trial before
the Chassis of Bergen, as planned, be-
caumse he has rendered his resigna-
ton from the Chassis and retires from
the ministry altogether.
This much was made known in
Hackensack Thursday following the
plan to have preliminary session to
the trial of the pastor. The letter
was postmarked Corana, L. l., where
Mr. Miller was said to have preached
before coming to North Hackensack.
At least a dozen boys complained
against Pastor Miller. He organized
the Knights of King Arthur-some-
thing of a secret order, and it was his
privilege to give each candidate a Sc
cret initiation, sometimes in the bel
fry but at all times in secluded part
of the church. One boy refused to be
hypnotized and then came the ex-
posture.
Indignation arose in the village and
at least four irate fathers demanded
the pastors arrest. At the special
meeting of the Consistory to which
the pastor was summoned, he resigned
before the charges were made known
to him. Two nights previous he was
prevented from addressing North
Hackensack soldiers at a Welcome
Home banquet.
Up to the time of the exposure he
was said to have been extremely in
terested in the young people of the
church.
Shirtly after the pastors resignation
from the church the Chassis of Bergen
gave him vote of confidence and ask
ed the Consistory to do the same, but
this was refused. The Chassis, in it's
resolution, said: "The church at
North Hackensack loses a faithful
pastor and the community con-
scientious citizen"
Pastor Miller didn't linger in North
Hackensack long after resigning, al
though given free rent of the parson-
age for mOnth.-Record.

All That Is Left of the Mastodon.

An early find of mastodon bones
from Shawangunk, Ulster county, New
York, was presented to the University
of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson.
third president of the United States,
who, like Theodore Roosevelt, twenty
sixtw president, was an enthusiastic
naturalist. 1t is noted by natural his
tory that after the great transcontinen-
tai glacier receded large marshes were
left in the region where these bones
were unearthed, and in them these an
imals frequently became mired. Both
Ulster and Orange counties have been
prolific in mastodon remains. The
Warren mastodon, dug up near New
burg in 1915, and now in the American
museum, is the most perfect skeleton
so far found. Bones are frequently
turned up by farmers. and the speci-
mems have even included hair, long,
dense and shaggy, and of dark golden
brown color.

The Wrong Man.

Funniest thing that has happened
to me in a long time," said Palisadian
Thursday, twas one day last week
when / was coming home on the ferry
boat and was standing near the rear
of the ladies' cabin. Looking out, I
saw L. G. Anderson of Anderson ave-
nue., Palisade, whom I know very init
mately. He was standing out on deck
looking at the waves of the receding
Hudson when thought to play prank
on him.
"What did you do?' asked a friend.
"Oh, I just opened the cabin door,
stumbled against min as ne stood there
and nearly knocked him over. Then I
hobbled on over to the automobiles,
making believe I was lame from the
stumble took, then looked around at
Anderson. There he was standing
there looking at me and called out, 4
hope you are not hurt, sir Then some
thing happened that nearly upset me-
/ started over to tell him how sorry I
was"
"What happened?"
"It was another man! But I apollo
gized, told how it all happened, and he
laughed so heartily thought he would
fall off the boat.'

TO AROUSE HEAVY SLEEPER
Writer Recommends That Il Be Done
y With an odor, Preferably Not
Too Powerful.

"What Is the best method of waking
soundly sleeping person?" is ques-
ton quite few millions of persons
would like to have answered, there be-

tinue to exhaust every scheme and
method known to them to rouse some

with an odor. undoubtedly" a
well-known physician replied to the
question. 1.-THE sense of smell Is the
most easily aroused of any of the i1ve.
We have trained ourselves to disregard
noises-or else we would get no sleep
at all in city. In the country the
same sounds which we utterly disre-
gard In town would awaken US in
stantly," says the Kansas City Star.
ITO shake person is more or less sue
cessful, as a rule. but often 1t serves
to only half rouse the sleeper, and he
turns over and goes to sleep again, or,
IL he does wake, he is apt to be in a
bad humor. Any really unusual noise
Is effective, but one can't think of a
new noise-making method every morn
ing.
when an odor is used, however, the
sleeper wakes at once-is wide awake.
Almost any odor will answer, If not too
faint. Perfume of any kind is espe-
cially good. Ammonia, camphor-in
fact anything with decided odor. will
do, but it should not be too powerful,
or the awakening will be violent"

Gastronomic Animals.

One occasionally hears the question !:
els 1t Welsh rarebit or Welsh rabbit"
1t is Welsh rabbit. "Rarebit" is only
an altered form Of the rabbit" an
afterthought intended to simulate an
absurd derivation from rare" and
"bit." as the Century dictionary char
acterizes it. "Welsh rabbit" itself is
genuine slang" and belongs to the
class of names Of ocular origin. There
are many others; an Essex lion is a
calf; Fieldlane duck is a baked
sleeps head: Glasgow magistrates or
Norfolk capons are red behring's; Irish
apricots or Munster plums are po-
tatoes; and Gravesend sweetmeats are
shrimps. to name over few examples
taken from English usage. At the mo-
ment the only American samples that
can be offered are the Albany beef
(sturgeon) and Cape Cod turkey (cod-
fish).

DAY OF F0RTY-EIGHT HOURS
Fact About Measurement Of Time
With Which Some May Not Be
Thoroughly Familiar.

DR.. Willis e. johnson, In his work
on Mathematical Geography" shows
that portions Of three days may ex-
list at the same time between IL 80
o'clock a. m. and IL 80 o'clock D. M,
London time. When 1t is Monday noon
at London Tuesday has begun at Cape
Deshnef. but Monday morning has not
yet dawned at Attu island. Nearly
half an hour Of Sunday still remains
there" What Is known as the "In-
ternational Date Line" divides the
days from one another-this being sit
uated on the one hundred and eight
eth meridian. This runs due north
and south, but there are two slight
changes which have been made in 1t.
for the sake of convenience.
While day at any particular place
Is "a hours long, each day lasts on
earth at least 48 hours. Any given
day. say Christmas. is first counted, as
that day just west of the date line.
The people just west of the date line,
who first hailed Christmas have en-
joyed IL hours of 1t when 1t reaches
England; IS hours Of 1t when 1t
reaches central United States, and "a
hours Of it, or a whole day, when it
begins in western Alaska, just east
Of the date line. Christmas, then, has
existed "a hours on the globe, but
having just begun in western Alaska,
1t will tarry "a hours longer among
mankind. Owing, however. to the ir-
regularity Of the date line, days last
more than 40 hours; in fact, 40 hours.

USE STRANGE CURES
Tobacco Quid Montenegrins'
Remedy for Wound.
Charms for Ills Lose Ground When
Red Gross Aids Suffering
Mountaineers.

Niegosh, Montenegro. - American
physicians doing relief work In Monte
negro tell of some curious methods Of
treatment employed by the inhabitants
OF this little mountain country. When
Montenegrin Is wounded the first
thought of the natives Is to apply
chewing tobacco, horsehair or fresh
rabbit skin with the hair facing inside.
Common ink is considered a sovereign
remedy for burns. To stop bleeding
sores or wounds cobwebs are used.
When person is bitten by dog, the
favorite remedy is to pull off the ami
mails ear and rub the wound with it.
The patron saint of Montenegro is
Saint Vascilla, whose shrine Is situat-
ed on the summit of q mountain be-
tween Podgoritza and Nikisic. Every
week thousands Of devout Montene-
grins come to this mountain shrine
seeking cure for their ills.
But since the arrival Of the Ameri-
can physicians the pilgrimages to the
ancient shrine have not been so numer-
Gus. For the natives have found that
their ills can be cured much nearer
home and with greater certainty at any
Of the numerous Red Cross dispen-
saries and clinics. The inhabitants
come from the remotest mountain re-
gions. They are carried in all sorts
of conveyances, wheelbarrows, donkey
carts, buffalo wagons or on horseback.
In one case an old woman, suffering
with scarlet fever, was brought to the
Red Cross hospital at Niegosh in an
iron soup pot. 1t required four days
to get her over the many mountain
ranges.
In another instance farmer carried
his typhus-affiicted wife on his back a
distance of 65 miles and at the end Of
the journey fell exhausted on the steps
Of the Red Cross hospital. He was re-
warded for his labors, however, four
weeks later by the complete recovery
of his wife.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
An Old Address.

On the floor of our sanctum one day
this week was picked up bit of brown
paper with this address on it:
Glenn and Ralph Hacker,
102nd Regiment, Co. D.,
Camp Wadsworth,
Spartanburg, S. G.
Just how this memorandum should
have appeared at this time is not
known to Ye Editor. 1t must have
"fell OUT of some old pocket or some
where. But nevertheless it brings back
very dear and tender memories of the
days that were trying our souls and
wringing our hearts. Palisade had fur
nished no less than ''fifty-seven" va
rieties of its youth for the war, and
they all went away without pomp or
show of any kind. Unlike the days of
the American Civil War, when each
town and village saw its troops depart
for the front in regulation dress uni
form and the acclaimS and shouts and
tears of the whole town, these latter
heroes went off at odd times when no
one was knowing just how or when
they might leave, which only added to
the state of uncertainty for everybody
who had kith or kin in the service.
The Hacker boys were among the
earliest to get ready. Like Paul Ber-
key, they were minute men" and all
anxiety from the beginning. Time
could not go fast enough for them.
And down in that Carolina camp where
they learned of the rigid discipline
that made men into hardened soldiers
was Harry Elkan also and Conrad
Breiby. Each was in his own branch
of the service, but no one knew the
time he would be called overseas for
work in France. And so the weary
months dragged by. Letters came in
a desultory way. Then all of a sudden
faces of those left behind began to
wear an anxious look. News was grad
ually dribbling in that the boys might
be sent over any day. And that day
finally came, and with it some strange
incidents. Conrad Breiby wrote that
he had been at sea several days when
he' discovered a Palisade boy, Harry
Elkan, on deck of the same ship. 1t
was nothing at ADJUST an incident of
war.

Pity for the Poor Poet.

Many poets have complained to us
because newspapers do not pay for
poetry.
Really, we do not think that poets
should ask pay any more than some
one should ask pay for sunshine, rain,
the dew Of the morning, starlight or
the moon.
For, all that those things are to the
body, poetry is to the soul. Poetry.
like virtue. should be its own reward.
Moreover. there is an old maxim which
says Poets are born, not paid. Los
Angeles Times.
