What is Davidson doing?

j. s. GerSOn formerly OF Welsh but
now of Glenmora, was shaking hands
with his old friends in Welsh during
the early part of the week. No man
has more friends than Jake Gerson and
he is known as one of the most huSt.
| ling merchants this city has seen, He
is a firm believer in the efficacy of
printers ink in selling goods and he
usually had the trade coming his way.
The JOURNAL acknowledges a
pleasant call Monday from Mr.. j. S, De.
Wolf of WoodlaWn. The Editor was
the happy recipient to his delectation of
nice bag of his choice oranges and
grape fruit. These nice oranges were
grown on trees that are less than three
years old, and the grape fruit were
pulled from two year old trees. MIR.
DeWolf has a score of trees less than
three years old which this year has pro.
duced 500 oranges to the tree. What
he has done during the last four years
| is another proof of the wonderful pos.
sibilltieS of this section. MIR. DeWolf
sees no reason why this section should
not develop into a great orange pro,
dueing section.

INDOOR BASEBALL.

The indoor baseball team of the Holy
Name Cymnastic Club played two
games in the Junior Indoor Baseball
League of the Amateur Athletic Union
last week. Both games We're played
AT the Behrman Gymnasium and were
we'll attended.
On Tuesday night their opponents
were the Crescents of st. Bernard.
The boys were playing on strange
ground and before a hostile crowd, and
this seemed to affect their playing
The final score was Is to in favor Of
the CreScents. Roy Schroeder of the
Holy Names pitched a One-hit game.
Thursday night the Holy Name Gym
natsic Club played the strong team of
the Boys High School and were defeat
ed by tie score of 13 to 0. The playing
of the team was greatly improved in
this game. Norman Brownlee pitched
the game for the Holy Names and had
wonderful control. This was his first
game, and his showing was wonderful,
because the High School team is the
hardest hitting one in the league.
Taking into consideration the fact
that these were the first games of the
Holy Name Gymnastic Club, and that
they were playing against teams that
have been in the game for several
years, Captain Mcguire and his team
deserve great praise for the showing
they have made.
The lineup of the team is as fol

When the Waltz Was New.

ten by a friend to my great-grand-
mother in the year 1917. at Christmas
time. in which the lady expresses her
grave disapproval of the modern" ten
dency toward rapid dancing. The para
graph runs as follows:
II was yester evening at your Cousin
Betty's. where | was much struck with
the new fashioned dances, which seem
ed, to me at any rate. to be out of
keeping with the propriety and mod
esty which we look for in young ladies
of our class. can only regret the dis,
appearance Of those 'maZurkas' and ga
VOTES as well as the 'minuets' and
hope that these new dances or 'valses,
as | think they are named. will quick
ly disappear from respectable society.

SELF RESTRAINT.

a number of countries have
copied our constitution with a
provision that the constitutional
guarantees may be suspended in
case of necessity. We are all
familiar with the result. The
guarantees of liberty, justice and
order have been forgotten. The
government is dictatorship, and
the popular will is expressed only
by revolution. Religion. the phi
losophy of morals, the teaching
of history. the experience Of ev-
cry human life. point to the same
cOnclusion-that in the practical
conduct of life the most difficult
and the most necessary virtue
is self restraint. Ii is needed
more by men acting in mass than
by individuals. because men in
the mass are more irresponsible
and difficult of control than in
dividuals. The makers of our
constitution. wise and earnest
students of history ard of life,
discerned the great truth that
self restraint Is the supreme ne
cessity and the supreme virtue
of democracy. The people Of the
United States have exercised
that virtue by the establishment
of rules of action in what we
cal the limitations of the con-
stitution. and until this day they
have rigidly observed these rules.

BE A MAN OF ACTION.
Don't Fall ITO the "l'll Do II Some
Day" Habit.

Some day" is the one day of the
365 that has no place in the calendaI
and is still the most popular day for
making diSagreeable engagements. Ii
is the day that every idle dreamer
chooses to begin the monumental work
that it is to make his fame and for
tune.
Today is always huddled. crowded,
Zoo hot or too cold, too wet or too dry.
Today is out of the question But
"sonH day. lies in the far golden haze
of the future that seems to have in il
the infinite leisure of eternity. And so
we defer till the more convenient sea
son that never comes what ought TO
be done instanter. without taking heed
Of our own feelings, our plausible OBJ
jections. and permitting the creeping
paralysis of Overmuch debate that
keeps the arm from striking while the
iron is hot
These prophecies that begin with
some day and Il good resolution are
rarely converted into the past tense
The man of action makes his plans so
berry and takes the facts where he
can get them that will help him TO de
eide what TO do But when his mind
is once made up ha goes ahead without
telling you much about it He does not
boast. He is too conscious of his own
fallibility to be cocksure Of brilliant
and secure results.-Philadelph Led

Brittany's Hair Harvest.

It is at Easter time that the curious
hair harvest Of Brittany is ''reaped"
by the travelling merchants. who go
from village to village buying the beau
tiful hair for which the Breton bellies
are famous. This is later destined to
be made up into transformations"
"fringes" and other mysterious ar
engagements with which ladies less
abundantly endowed by nature make
up their shortcomings in the matter Of
'woman's browning glory" The eli
ents of the hair buyers are chiefly
country lasses in the remoter districts,
who are only too pleased to sell their
tresses in order to obtain little money
to spend at the Easter fairs. The "har-
vest" however. is said not to be so
good as formerly. as with the spread
Of education and the love Of display

SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
A Reply That Won Napoleon and the
Duke of Modens.

In the French campaign in Italy, in
which Napoleon l. first began to win
the laures which subsequently so
abundantly crowned his career,
young Italian cavalry officer was TAX
en- prisoner
Having serious doubts about his
safety, it occurred to the prisoner to
pretend he was a great parsonage. So
he promised rewards TO his captors if
they would insure his good treatment,
adding confidentially that he was the
Duke of Modena.
He was exceedingly well cared for,
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon. who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes of Mo-
dena among his prisoners. for the real
duke was also a prisoner. The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed the
title of Duke of Modena. The young
officer answered.:
Your grace. the peril of my situa-
ton yesterday was such that had ]
known a more illustrious title / would
not have assumed yours"
The reply so pleased both the duke
and Napoleon that he was forgiven his
deceit

the other day a printed circular signed

Mr. Gibson. who can scarcely be
persuaded to make dra wings at 81 900
apiece. smiled over this printed circu
lar, and then he took a sheet Of note
paper. and, still smiling. he wrote to
the automobile firm:
"You are cordially invited to partici-
pate in my grand ten dollar prize auto

VESTED RIGHTS.

Have backward looking and
Inward looking men ever stopped
to consider what might happen
TO them here in the great state
of New York If those who have
not should take 1t into their
heads to make common cause
against those who have? They
talk about vested rights and in
their talk assume they have both
an inherent and q constitutional
right TO pass their property down
from generation TO generation
until some reckless descendant
shall have dissipated it. Suppose
a governor and a general assem-
bly, in the state of New York
should repeal the statute of de-
scents for real and personal prop
erty and the statute with refer
ence to the making of wills on
their death. How much vested in
terest would any relative have in
the property which fell from
their nerveless hands at the
hour of dissolution? The right
to inherit and the right to devise

tutional; but, upon the contrary,
they are simply privileges Civ

The Noble Life.

True worth is in being. not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good. not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by,
For, whatever men say in blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth.
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure;
We cannot do wrong and feel right
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children or men.
