sire for profit, if there is a surplus it
will go to provide additional comforts

doing, it is likely to become popular in
New York, where the desire of men to
own their own homes is offset by the
high price of ground. None of the men
interested in this venture belong to the
plutocratic class. The entire project
will represent an investment of about
$3.50, 900, or about $4,000 FOR each of
the seven, but as such a property
would easily carry a trust of 5000 900,

same plan, of course, could be carried
out on a smaller scale by men of much

NOTES FROM
GOTHAM
(By Ford l.. Thorpe.)

q
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-If any one is
burdened by the idea hat New York
no longer offers opportunity for a ca
reer for the young man in business, let
him gaze on Harry P. Davidson, at the
age of Al vice president of the First
National bank, and who on January |
will become one of the banking part
ners of j. Pierpont Morgan, which lat
ter position might well be the goal of
any banker.
Mr.. Davidson came to New York
from a small town in Connecticut 20
years ago. He had a few dollars in
his pocket and a limited experience as
a teller in country banks. The experi-
ence counted for but little and the few
dollars not at all in the banking world
of the metropolis. But young David
son had an ample capital in a large
ambition to succeed. correct notions OF
business honesty and a willingness to
work. He didn t have long to wait fol
an opportunity, for such assets are in
daily demand in Americas greatest
mart of trade and cash. A subordinate
place in the Astor Place bank was
offered and accepted, but was soon va
Gated for a place of more responsibility
in the same institution. He was made
a receiving teller and then paying
teller. A little later he went to the
Liberty National. and in six years be
came its president. Six years ago he
resigned to become first vice president
of the big First National, and now he
is quitting this position to enter the
bank of J.. P. Morgan & Co. If there is
any youth not inspired by such a record
that youth is incapable of inspiration
or his ambitions run along lines far
away from the affairs of dollars.
Mr.. Davidson is unknown to the zen
eral public, but he is a big man in the
financial world, and during the panickv
times of last winter was one of the
men Mr.. Morgan called into his con
situations. He doesn't get into tn
newspapers, but there was one time
wears ago when he got a lot of pub
Lefty. When he was paying teller a Z
the Astor Place bank, an insane man
stepped up to his window one day and
presented a chech for $1,000, drawn to
the order of "God Almighty The
insane man also presented a revolver
and insisted that the check be paiG.
Young Davidson, looking into the
muZZle of that ~six-shooter. decided K
would not be wise to refuse the de
mand, and yet he could not quite see
his way clear to parting with a thou
sand dollars of the banks money. as
there was no account there with tn
Almighty. So, in a rather loud voice.
he began to ask questions of a nature
he knew would attract attention. at the
time making a pretense of count
ing out the bills. The attention of the +
bank detective was attracted and
guessing that something was wrong,
seized the insane man from behind.
Had it not been for Davidson s cool
ness, it is not at all likely he would be
in a position today. to become J. Pier
pont Morgan's partner.

FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, 1t is not very surprising that

A N. Y. woman writes an interest

In a most miserable condition. For
over two years suffered from ner-

breath, could not sleep, etc.
MY appetite was ravenous but

plenty Of food but It did not nourish
me because Of intestinal indigestion.

help, got discouraged, stopped medi-

"One day friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts. stop drinking

Hunters Must Have License

Now that the hunting season is
about to begin, State Auditor Paul
Capdeville, is sending out to the Tax
Collectors of the different parishes
letters calling their attention to the
fact that under the new law all hunt
ers in Louisiana, no matter whether
they go out for only one hunt year,
are required to get hunting IL
cense, which is 81 for all residents of
Louisiana, and s25 for non-residents.
The feature of the new law is the
81 license for resident sportsmen.
This law is going to mean large rev.
enue to Louisiana. II person is
found hunting with this license he
is subject to fine of not less than
$40 nor more than 500. The license
must be carried by the hunter on his
person.

to expose 1t easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-

Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted trade mark. the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter"
and put this trade mark, as a guar
anty of purity, on every package OF
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the puri-
ty and genuineness OF White Lead
may be determined. and furnished a
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for 1t. This &C
ton was in itself q guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company's

Missing win IN Old Book.

A curious story OF a missing will
comes from Paris.
In 1906 NJ. Frossard, director OF
the Mont de Piete at Dion, bache-
lor, died without heirs, leaving a
fortune Of about 100000 francs. He
had previously announced to his init.
mates that he intended to remember
them in his will, but on his death
no will could be found. The for.
tune then went to three distant rela
lives.
During the last few days Ger
man book collector passing through
Dion bought lot of old books which
had formerly belonged to M. Fros-
sard. In one of them the collector
came across the lost will, in which
one of the oldest friends Of the deal
man was appointed residuary legatee.
The collector sent the will to this
gentleman, and the aid of the French
courts will now be invoked to dis
tribute the property in terms OF thu
will.-I,ondnn Globe.
