Old Irish. Warcrieg.

Like the modern cowboy yell of the
western troops in the Cuban campaign.
the warcries and slogans Of the ancient
Irish clans often had much effect in in
spring fear in the enemy and courage
and enthusiasm in the command. The
simplest and most frequent of old Erin 8
warcries was "Faire. fairei" signifying
"watch' or ''look out. It was pre-
cautionary signal and was commonly
written ''Farrah." From it the modern
''hurrah" is supposed to have been de-
rived. Another cry was IA buaidhl"
which meant "to the victory" 1t was
pronounced taboo" and followed the
name Of the clan or leader, according
to circumstances. like "O'Neill aboo. :"
or "Clann Conail aboo." frequently
ga buaidh" is construed incorrectly in
modern English to mean "forever. I"
That translation applies to ''go brath. !"
but not "a buaidh." The famous Irish
cry OF "Fag an bealachl" meaning
''clear the way" !" scared the spunk out

The London Daily Mail tells this
pretty story of kiss sold at auction
A fascinating actress. whose name need
not be mentioned, being anxious to as
sist certain charity in the provinces,
offered kiss to be pat up at auction.
The bidding was brisk and had advanced
in three leaps from 3 guineas to 30.
when without further parley the round
sum of $500 was offered. There being
no higher bid. the kiss was knocked
down by the auctioneer to colonel in
one of our line regiments. who came
forward to meet the blushing lady.
But to the surprise of all present, the
colonel introduced a dear little fair
haired boy. explained that it was his
grandson fifth birthday. and that he
had acquired the kiss as birthday gift
for him. Whereupon Miss - took
the child in her arms and discharged
her debt with interest The charity, a
local one. in which the colonel took a
keen interest. was the richer by $500
for the granddad's generous whim.

you showed me the telegraphic message

.But the American ambassador is
positive.
"Then he has more confidence in his

refer it to Austria, who held long

to the Austrian ambassador, who was
lowering near, waiting to speak to his
host, "my lord duke has some doubt

must make what excuses I can to the

Placing the paper in his pocket, he

With quick movement the girl

A True Gentleman.

Familiarity with the prevailing
standards Of etiquette gives a young
man distinct advantage, and he who
is sure that he knows is at ease and
conforms automatically to social re-
quirement. None can be perfect in de-
pertinent who has to stop to consider
how things ought to be done. If man
be gentleman at heart the outward
polishis easily acquired between man
ners and morals the tie is intimate. A
true gentleman is simple, unpretend-
ing, natural. He is courteous and con-
siderate, and has the personal dignity
that comes of self-respect, not self-con-
ciousAess. He treats every woman as
a lady, speaks well of others and recog-
nizes hospitality as mutual obliga-
tion.-Ladies' Home Journal.

SIGHTING BIG GUNS.
A Landlubber L. Mystifled as to How
Anything Is Ever His
by Them.

"How In the world the gunners on
our big battleships ever manage to
land shell within mile of the thing
they are shooting at has been a mys-
terry to me ever since l saw q piece
of heavy ordnance actually turned
loose" said man from Califoria, re-
ports the Milwaukee Wisconsin. II
was on the Oregon during some range
tests off Mare island, shortly after
the ship was placed in commission"
he continued, ''and the executive Off
Ger, who was an old schoolmate Of
mine, took me into the after-turret
to show me how the big guns were
sighted.
''The man who does the aiming
stands on a little platform at the rear
of the breech and looks through q
telescope fastened above the barrel.
Two wires cross each other at right
angles in the far end of the glass,
and the place where they meet must
be brought in line with lance-shaped
sight at the muzzle of the gun and
also with the object aimed at, which.
in the case to which refer, was o
canvas screen 16 feet square and 1,4o0
yards distant.
"Now, that would be hard enough
to do on dry land, because every slight
shift of the telescope meant the
simultaneous shifting of several tons
of cold steel by means of a compli-
Gated system of wheels and levers;
but on board moving ship, rocking
up and down on the waves, the diff
culties are something appalling. I
squinted through the instrument, and
all could see was a circular patch Of
ocean whirling criss-cross over the
field of vision, like magic lantern
picture with bad case OF st. Vitus
dance. Once I caught a glimpse of
something white, that shot across the
circle as swiftly as swallow and
was gone before l could say boo.
That was the target on which the
gunner was supposed to draw bead.
II stepped back in awe, while a
good-iooking young sailorman took
my place, gave a couple of hand
wheels a few sharp turns right and
left, and then, all of sudden, pressed
something like telegraph key. I
thought the whole universe had
broken loose at the foundations, but
it was only the gun going off, and the
shell carried away one entire end of
the white canvas target. How the
good-looking young sailorman got his
aim don't pretend to say. 1t seemed
like piece Of pure necromancy. The
men behind the guns are, without q
doubt, the greatest sleight-of-hand
performers in the world"

when Jennie took her leave of the host

nothing to be desired. All went well

eye of his wife upon him to keep him

He expects to meet you later in the
evening. But telegraphic message has
come from Meran, signed by the Prin-
cess Won Steinheimer, which expresses a
hope that the ball will be success and
reiterates the regret Of her highness
that she could not be present. Luckily,
this communication has not been shown
to the duchess. I told the duke, who
read it to me, knowing had been with
you all the evening, that it was likely a
practical joke on the part of the prince,
but the duke, who is rather serious
person, does not take kindly to that
theory. and if he knew the prince he
would dismiss it as absurd, which it is
