GravyIess Years.

When our first baby came to make
our days and nights interesting we
babe farewell to that nice, red dish
gravy, which comes with the roast
beef and the juicy steak.
All the gravy had to go on his lit
tie dish of mashed potatoes or his
slice of bread, but it made him so
fat and husky that we licked our
chops in silence and rejoiced at his
fine condition.
AS he grew out of the gravy stage
a little daughterbeam came to take
the place of the sonbeam and anoth.
er series of gravyless days descend
ed upon us. Once more we watched
the rich, red gravy disappears, and
the baby "Sweeled wisibly'' as one
of Dickens characters said.
Well, it was worth it, and we con-
soled ourself (both Of us) with the
thought that pretty soon now we
would have some gravy.
The little daughterbeam had just
passed the gravy stage when anoth-
err came to take her place at the
trencher and we faced four years
more of drought.
In the Fall of 1921 we shall have
some gravy, providing of course, that
the price of meat has not risen to the
place where we have to turn vege-
tartan.
It would be just our 1uck

-"How do you like your new min
ister?" asked a visitor from a nearby
village.
"New minister? What do you mean?
We have no new minister" was the
reply.
"Why, heard you had. And why
don't you 60 to church,"
go to church? What do you mean?
I never miss a Sunday"
"You don't? Why, heard all you
did was to support it but that you
never attended church at ALL"
"How such an impression ever got
out I cannot conceive. I will ad-
nit that I am not much of a
church member, but I do give all I
can to it's support, but I never make
a speciality of saying anything about
what do, why go to church, or what
actuates me in attending church serv.

mons. I know man who runs news
paper, but who has written a great
deal about sermons he never hears"
81 can't imagine anybody doing
that, unless he had somebody to re-
port the sermons for him.
"Well, would not that be legiti-
mate?"
"How could he tell that the reports
were TRUTHFUL
'sWell, by verifying the reports from
z some -61fe else who heard them, for
one thing"
"Well, yes, I never thought of that"
And the conversation closed.
The decorations at the Palisade
church were so unusual the past
Christmas that they have been allowed
to remain as they were for a few Sun
days. They have been much admired.
Said a regular church goer this
week: 81 dislike to utter anything in
the way of praise that would appear to
be unduly made. But l will say that
for young man, Rev. Guhse is one
of the most remarkable and eloquent
sermonizers 1 have ever heard. He has
the gift of pulpit oratory developed
about as strongly as any man, old or
young, I have ever known. His sermon
last Sunday was a masterpiece. 1t
was, indeed. I know nothing of his
ambitions, his aims in life, or his as.

a man of the most surprising worth as
a speaker on religious subjects. He
handles anything he undertakes as
would have a man at his best"
Mr.. and Mrs. William r. Goodman,
former residents of Palisade, now liv-
ing in Brooklyn, were visiting friends
last Sunday. There still remains the
lure of the village for all who have
ever lived within it's inviting precincts.
There are many who believe the Good
mans will come back again to live
here.
Mrs. w. P. Steele's fine limousine is
one of the most luxurious in this sec
ton. 1t is an air-cooled engine and
starts right off in the coolest weather
without halt.
Will you personally try and see that
the teachers pay is made more? Write
to the state board, Trenton. Every
thing is needed to make this great
necessity reality. No people on earth
are more inadequately paid than our
school teachers. And they are leaving
the profession in droves-by thou
sands. Get busy right now.
