LITTLE HILDA GALLAGHER DEAD

The sincere sympathy of the Mirror
force goes out to Mr.. D. E. Gallagher,
the head of the job and bindery depart
ments, who was called to his home at Has
tings by the death of his little fourteen year
old girl last Monday evening.
Hilda was bright child, the sunshine of
the household; and was favorite with her
little playmates who deeply mourn her sud-
den taking away. She had been i'll but a
few days, and her indisposition was not
considered serious. She was the only child,
which fact will make the sorrow and grief
all the harder to bear by the bereaved par
ents.

THEIR FIRST AEROPLANE

Last Thursday, when the picture was
thrown on the canvas showing the flying
machine, there was an involuntary start and
murmur of surprise came from the old
timers who had never before realized what
an aeroplane looked like. Some of them
thought it was huge bird at first, until it
came closer to earth and finally settled.
Never mind boys, there are any number
of other things you We been deprived of see
ing since you came here; but thanks to the
movies, they re being brought to you.

ACORRECTION.

Last week we printed an article referring
to an address made by Mrs. Maude Bal
lington Booth at Houston, Texas; and in
it we designated Mrs. Booth as being at
the head of the Salvation Army. This was
an error; Mrs. Booth has for the past eight
cen years been affiliated with the splendid
work being accomplished by the Volunteers
of america, and we make this correction
in justice to the lady and the organization
she represents.

The game was stated promptly at 1886
and it required just two hours to play five
and a half innings which tells the story of
hits, runs, and errors galore. 1t was the
first time the boys had chance to play ball
for years, and considering this handicap
some remarkably clever plays were record
ed. The work of Babb behind the bat and
Lovejoy and Foster in the box, was parti-
cularly good. The score is as follows:

1nent is so closely identified with
Australia, that a brief outline Of it's
origin and history may prove of in
terest TO the reader.
The Hands.Around-t he-Pacifie move
ment was born in sydney six years
ago. when Messrs Alexander Hume
Ford, then representing Hawaii in
the study of Australasian tourist bu-
reaus, and Percy Hunter. the direct
or OF the New South Wales govern
Inent tourist bureau, met together at
a lunch to each discover the plans
of the other. AT that meeting It was
decided that an effort should be made
TO secure the cooperation of the en-
tire Pacific in a united effort to make
the advantages offered by Pacific
lands to the tourist, immigrant and
investor, better known abroad.
Mr.. +. e. Dome, then the energet-
ic head Of the New Zealand tourist
bureaus, had already given assurance
OF his hearty cooperation, but it
was at the lunch in Sydney that the
idea of joint Pacific exhibition and
tourist buildings, or offices in San
Francisco, New York and London,
was outlined, and the plan of estab-
fishing at the crossroads OF the Pa
cific an illustrated magazine that
would carry monthly to the whole
world tempting articles on each OF
the Pacific lands; thus to make the
worlds future theater Of commerce
better known to those who might
wish to share in it's development. 1t
is but natural that this movement
now on its way to successful issue,
would again receive a new start and
impetus from the city of its birth.

Pacific, the first .Pan-Pacifc congress
was called, the governments of Aus
