Kissed Till He tainted,

The power of the feminine kiss
Is admitted the world over, but there
are some illustrations Of its potency
that make interesting reading. The
pretty girls Of Australia recently
kissed fair British soldier until he
tainted. II was on occasion of the
arrival of the Australian soldiers at
Melbourne from the seat Of war. They
were welcomed by a gathering whose
enthusiasm the police were quite
powerless to control. The female
portion was particularly demonstrative
and in many instances the brave
fighters were literally torn from the
ranks to receive veritable hurricane
of fayors from fair lips. Many of
them were overcome and one of the
sturdiest and handsomest of the
soldiers actually tainted under the
storm OF labial salutation conferred
by over 30U Victorian damsels.

RISE OF A MERcRANTMAN.
Career of the Late Thomas n. Ismay,
President of the White Star Line.


From boatbuilders's apprentice to
president of the great White Star line
sums up in few words the life's work
of one of the most remarkable men
ever known TO the business world in
Great Britain, the late Thomas II.
lsmay. His son, j. Bruce Tsmay, who
has succeeded to his fathers honors
and vast fortune, is now in New York
arranging with j. Pierpont Morgan the
details Of the giant deal whereby the
great steamship line shall become an
integral part of the shipping combine
that is destined to rule the seas.
When T. II. Ismay began his bust
ness career he had not a cent save
what he earned At the time of his
death he had massed a fortune OF over
$4,000, 0o0. Undoubtedly the White
Star line owes its success, as ii owes
it's birth and 8 owth. to Ismay For
years the Ismays have been identified
with ships and shipping 1t was Some
time In the sos that Thomas fsmay
became an apprentice to a shipbuild-
ing firm in Liverpool, England.
His opportunity did not come. how
ever, until 1867, when he was 80 years
/ of age. He had used the dozen years
or so tEat he had been in Liverpool
to such good purpose that his credit
stood high and he had host of
f.ierds. Moreover, he had been thrifty
as we'll as energetic, and when the
mana2iI s owner OF the old White Star
line retired in 1867, he was in a posi-
ton to take over the smart fleet of
clippers that then composed this line,
and with the footing thus gained to
divert the enterprise into new and
more Profitable channels.
Within four years of his assumption
of the business Mr. Ismay had vessels
competing successfully for the first.
class passenger traffic of the North
Atlantic, IN addition to those covering
the elder routes. When the Oceanic
made ne. first voyage in 1871 to New
York, Mr.. Ismay accompanied her as
the most interested passenger When
he returned to Liverpool he knew that
he had conquered, and the word was
given to proceed as fast as possible
with the construction of other steam.

of the Oceanic Steam Navigation con-
pany MIR. lsmay was joined in the

duced into his new steamers was the

modatiohs amidahips. This plan has
been since adopted by all other great
lines.

death was The giving of 100000 az q

AN ANCIENT GAELIC SPORT.
Hurting Is Being Revived Among New
York Athletes.


The recent introduction to New
York of the Irish game of hurting has
aroused much interest and curiosity in
that very ancient sport. This was the
national game in Ireland before a
stone was laid in the foundation of the
first house in ancient Rome.
The Irish were so devoted to athlet-
ic sports that when Lugaidh Lamhfada
(Lugee the Longhanded), who ascend
ed the throne of Ireland nearly 1900
years before the birth of Christ, de-
sired to erect a permanent memorial
of his gratitude to Talti, wife of the
last king of the Fir-Bolgs, who had
aided and befriended him in his youth.
he used neither marble nor granite,
as he did not consider them enduring
enough to withstand the ravages of
time, but instead he founded a memo
rial of his countrymen's athletic pro-
clivities that has survived the vicissi-
tudes of $500 years. He instituted
the Tailteen games, which embraced
hurting, football, handball, stone-throw-
other branches of athletics which are
known to this day at Gaelic athletic
sports.
These games were held annually
two weeks before and two weeks after
August /, and it is from this commem-
Grafton so Instituted by him that the
calenders of August are called Lughna-
sa (Loonasa)-that is, the Nasadh or
memorial of Lugaidh
Hurting is strenuous game and
admirably adapted to the impetuous
temperament of the Gauls, and many
battlefield in Europe and elsewhere
bears convincing testimony to the
character of the athletic training re-
ceived in their youth. The immortal
Davis, describing the charge of the
Irish brigade at Fontenoy, faithfully
delineates the Characteristic onslaught
Of the hurlers when he says:
One volley crashes from their line,
When, through the surging smoke
With empty guns clutched in their
hands
The headlong Irish broke
Ally person who watches a hurting
match cannot fail to note the fearless
impetuosity of the players, who rush
in entirely oblivious of danger where
bats that would fracture mans skull
are fiercely brandished with seeming
Indifference as to results. Their OBJ
ject is to obtain the ball for their side,
and when once obtained with what de-
teTmined energy and consummate
ability 1T is carried through the ranks
of their opponents poised on the end
of the bats, and when tackled how
adroitly It is tossed over the heads of
the tacklers by the player, who at the
same time sidesteps the blockers and
picks up the ball again on the end of
mis- bat and gets as near to the oppo-
site goal as the players on that side
will allow, The game is exciting from
the tossing up o. the ball to the end
of the match, and every one OF the
players on each side is actively en-
gagged IN the sport.

Sensible Advice From Alaska.

Patronize home institutions. This is the secret of making a prosper ous community. If the consumer sends outside for his groceries and supplies, what can the merchant do up here? If the builder ships in his own lumber, what is the use of lumber yards? If the public sends outside for fuel, meats and clothing, the coal dealer, the butcher and the clothing merchant would have to go out of business. It is obvious that the only way to create prosperous community is by patronizing home industry. There is one industry that can get along without the en- couragement of all the business in the community. Business men may send outside for their printing with out interfering with the growth and development of the town. This is due to the fact that printers ire .quently hold their breath for two months, during which they neither eat nor drink. They keep warm by
