Village Gossip

on Children'S Day people brought
canary birds in cages to the church
and placed them in windows where
they sang all during the services. With
the great profusion of flowers, she
says, the effect was wonderful, and
certainly the thought is well worth
being followed. Some time ago one
summer morning at the Palisade
Church thrush nearby began his
song about the time the sermon began
and sang almost constantly through it
all. 1t was an appealingly inspiring
moment, the minister admitting that
his effort had been largely helped by
the thrush.
People who read the tale of the
dazzling Irene Castle and her expert
, ence in Englewood the other day
where the "villain" in the movie gets
all excited, chOkes her so hard he dis
locates her Adams apple, was a very
apt example on how to be good
press agent. She doesn't go to the
hospital in the play.
The large advertisement on the
north wall of the Palisade Supply
Market last week giving the manu-
factory's name of a prominent prod

mann's might have sold out, but Henry
Rottman laughed and said it wasn't
anything of the kind-just an ad.
The tennis boys had to run into the
Randolph car at the court when the
big rain came up and spoiled the
tournament last Sunday.
The e. Yancy Cohens are again
summering at their Catskills home in
Sullivan county, N. Y, at Meriwold
Park.
Bob Beans had cold last week and
got over it before he had time to
know he had it. That's the way to do
things, Bob, just as though you had
hit a bumblebee and knocked him end
ways.
Having a keen sense of humor is a
saving clause in people who otherwise
might be called prosaic.
Mrs. Thomas Fredericks has remem-
bered the Editor with fine jar of
elder berry jelly, and it is berry fine,
thank you much-and ma'am.
Cutting ice can mean two things
that you do things-or-just doing 1t
for the summer supply.
Keeping ones promise is dependent
on two things-either that you do
or, you just forgot it.
Elder Berry Poachers
-Palisade grows fine crop of elder
berries every year, but outsiders sneak
in and take them on the sly without
giving those who live here chance
to pick them. A number of interlopers
have been asked to leave them alone,
and generally they become impudent
and abusive. AS matter of fact, they
have no business here. Plenty of home
people would gather these delicious
berries for home use, only these
whelps steal in, hide themselves and
pick them long before they are ripe,
getting little benefit themselves
through their selfishness and greed.
The berries make fine jelly, are good
for preserves, ample for light, whole
some wine, and go well with sugar and
cream when fully ripe And they
make delicious pies, also. People who
live here and pay taxes are rightfully
the ones to have all that grows here.
But the audacity of some of these
poacherS is striking.
Really, Palisade is so stagnant this
summer that the social cream has
soured.
Paul Brady was in town last week
away from the farm for a day, then
went back to play with the Brewster
team at the weekend. While here
he had quite an experience. While
he was at
There is not one single spot in the
state of New Jersey as lively as the
Palisade Junction, bees in their hive
having long ago given up the contest
of trying to compete with that spot.
And it is no place to get stung, either.

quicker than wink.
The Lester Burdettes are still at
the Brady farm in Duchess county,

element every minute of their time.
