TRACED TO GAME OF TENNIS.

To tennis we owe the phrase ito
drive from pillar to post" though its
exact meaning has not been traced,
Ernest Weekly writes in the Cornhill
Magazine, London. The allusion is to
the driving of the tennis ball. and the
earlier order, found in Lydgate, was
from post to pillar" This was invert-
ed to facilitate the stock rhyme with

suggesting that the pillar" and post
were names given to the two ends
of the court. The following explana-
ton has occurred to me as possible.

a small way, he ultimately established
a large stable of horses with boots,

His horses we're always ready and

a horse he was conducted to the

choice of horses, Hobson always asked

became a saying, when something was

Hobson's choice.

ALONE FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS.

On San Nicolas island, which is un-
inhabited, party of sea-otter hunters
landing to chance their luck, found
to their amazement, the imprint of
human feet on the sandy shore-im-
prints freshly made. They scattered
in search. But, the wind shifting and
commencing to blow hard, they had to
regain their vessel before the maker
of the marks could be found. It was
undeniable, however, human being
lived on this bleak, wind-blown island
of sand and tall brushwood.
On returning to the mainland they
reported the strange discovery, but
nothing was done until Roman Cath
olic priest was so moved by the news
that he persuaded the captain of a
small schooner to sail with him for
San Nicolas. After two days search
ing he discovered this lonely Crusoe
the first of new kind. For he
found inside a low hut Of driftwood a

her companion was an otter, which
she had caught very young and
tanned.
The priest with difficulty got he'll
story, for she had almost forgotten
how to speak. Many years previously
the small tribe of Indians to which she
belonged of San Nicolas
from time past-had been shifted by
the government to the mainland. As
they were being taken on board, her
baby had fallen into the sea, and she
had leaped after him, and in the dusk
had been given up as drowned. She
reached the shore, however, to find the
child was dead. In utter loneliness
she had lived there for IS years.

HUMBLE MANS PROUD SPIRIT.

Cleaning the ashes out of the cellar
is one job designed to keep man
humble, says the Detroit Free Press.
The man who can spend half a day in
4 dust cloud, carrying bushel basket
after bushel basket filled with cinders
into the alley and still be proud of
himself is an egotist beyond hope. He
may think he is doing a good job and
be proud of his work, but beyond that
he cannot go. With all that life has
given him of fame and position he new
ertheless for the time being has be-
come an ash-carrier.
Nor will all his fame keep the dust
out Of his ears and hair and the small
cinders out of his last summer oxfords,
which he wears for the job. AS he
staggers down his back yard, resting
bushel basket on the place where
the evening before he buttoned white
broadcloth vest, he will be forced to
realize that the maid next door has
discovered the fact that he is just ordi-
nary stuff. He will know also that the
neighbors are onto him; he takes or
ders from his wife as does every other
man, and in time descends to the COM
mon level of common work. It is good
for man to carry out his own ashes.
He will grunt and swear and sweat
and blister his hands, but he will come
out Of the ordeal, If he has any sense
at ALL a little humber in spirit and
with little kindlier feeling toward
the man who does nothing but carry
ashes all his life.

The Catholic agricultural unions OF

Bolshevism is disappearing. The sirer

ranks. Like the soldiers of Ulysses

HONESTY ITS OWN REWARD.

The following editorial is taken from
a prominent New York daily:
"We congratulate Miss Anna Hughes
of Brooklyn on being caught in an
honest act. She found a package of
iewelry in handkerchief sent to the
laundry in which she works. She
turned it in to the manager of the
aundry. The manager restored it to
it's owner, who until he told her of
der loss did not know the ornaments
were missing. Miss Hughes received
a reward from the owner of the jewel
ry and another from her employers.
She is probably a little bit puzzled by
the whole proceeding, though the
newspaper reports indicate she will
be able to enjoy the benefits which
the conduct natural to her have
brought her. For it is interesting to
observe that Miss Hughes turned
the jewelry over to the manager of
the laundry in consequence of an un-
studied reaction of her perfectly
honest mind. She did not have to give
time to consideration of the question,
Shall I be honest and restore these
diamonds to their owner, or shall ]
be dishonest and convert them to my
own use?' Instead her character
dictated her act. She had come into
possession of something which did not
belong to her, and the only thing fol-
her to do was to see that it started
on it's way back to its owner at the
earliest possible moment Miss Hughes
is typical of the great army of honor
able, honest girls-she is only seven
teen-and women who earn their OWL
livings, comport themselves in accord
ance with their own senses of self
respect, and are seldom heard of be
cause their virtues keep them out Of
the limelight. Occasionally repre-
sentative of this fine body of citizens
appears for a moment in public, anG
when this happens the rest of us have
an opportunity to see how admirable
are the good qualities we take fol
granted and how attractive they make
their possessors."

The spread of Bolshevistic doctrines
in Europe is meeting with decided
on the part of Christian
working men. Encouraging signs of
the weakening of the communistic
organizations which have enjoyed 3
temporary success in some countries
are appearing every day. DR.. Frederic
Funder writes for the National Catho-
lie Welfare Council that textile work.
ers from Germany, France, Holland,
Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary,
and Czecho-Slovakia have formed an
international association of unions,
and that Congress of agricultural
workers is soon to be held at Cob
LEM. The formation of these Chris
tian labor unions comes moreover at
a time when the Christian workers
of Central Europe are meeting with
persecution from the "Reds.'
Socialism he writes, feels the
ground shaking under it's feet, and
is attempting by main force to hold
it's sway in the factories. There have
been numerous strikes in Austria, and
in Czecho-Slovakia during the past
few months because of the refusal oil
the Socialists to work in the same
shops with the Christian employees
It required all the energy of the Aus
TRAN Government to overcome strike
precipitated for the same reason
among the workers in the mint al
Vienna. There is inherent antago
nism and the certainty of a clash be
tween the doctrines of Socialism an(
Christian teaching. It is unfortunate
that the ranks of the Christian work
ers are filled, thus making it possible
for an international movement to sue
coed. Perhaps the struggles ant
trials of Central Europe during thu
past two years were necessary t.
