HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1950-9-20, Page 6Some Stolen Kisses, Costly and Otherwise A kiss can give more pain than •pleasure, as Thomas Saverlend found out, In 1837 he brought an action -against Caroline Newton for biting his nose when he tried to kiss her. He got no comfort from the judge, who ruled that ";when a man kisses a woman aga- inst her will she is fully entitled to bite his nose if she so pleases." The laws of some countries ban public kissing and a kiss often results in a fine. For one Austral- ian it didn't stop there. Yielding to the fascination of a pretty face, he kissed the owner, Horsewhip and Sermon , He was taken before. the magis- trates and heavily fined. Then the fun started. The girl's brothers horsewhipped him: his wife wor- ried him into a brain fever, and the clergyman of the parish made the indictment a test for a sermon on the iniquity of kissing! The cost of a kiss to the Duke of Clarence who later became Wil- liam IV was a sore seat. Once. when in a barber's shop in North America, the Duke was just rising from the chair when the barber's wife, a comely woman, looped in. William kissed her heartily and said, "There! Now tell your coun- try - women that the son of the King of England has given a royal kiss to a Yankee barber's wife." Her husband seized hint by the shoulders, kicked hint out of the shop, shouting, "Now you can go and tell your countrywomen that a Yankee barber has given a royal kick to the son of the King of England." Railway Train Lapse Valentine Baker, who in the last century became a famous general in the service of Turkey, while a subaltern in the British army, yielded to a sudden im- pulse while travelling in a railway carriage and kissed a strange girl. She reported the incident to his superior officers and Baker lost his commission. A young ratan of Massachusetts cdiered a girl a lift in his car; she gratefully accepted. On the way he tried to kiss her. She showed her feelings by jabbing him in the ribs, and the next thing he knew was that his car had wrapped it- self round a tree. The man who took his girl for a ride on the pillion of his motor- cycle was an even worse case. They stopped at some traffic lights; he turned in his seat and they kissed. 't'itett everything went wrong. They trashed into the traffic lights, were Catty Cornered — Mickey, the fox terrier, thought he had his neighbor Tuff- cornered, but puss's paw's gave the pooch pause. He kept right on going, chased through streets by a police patrol car and were eventually fined $35 by the magistrate. Out of the Window In Chicago, a nineteen -year-old girl leaned out of a second - floor window to blow a kiss to her sweetheart, She leaned so far she tumbled right out, fell to the piYtptent, }vas knocked tlllconsci- oiis, and broke a leg and an arm. 'Budapest saw a girl bring an action against her sweetheart for "negligent kissing." She said he kissed her so violently that her jaw was fractured. Another kiss, in the sante town, resulted in trag- edy. A colonel of the gendarm- erie arrived home one evening in October, 1936. He Was met at the door by his beautiful young bride of two months, who kissed him so passionately that the loaded revol- ver in his pocket went off and site fell dying. In some cases the immediate costs of a kiss are balanced, and more than balanced by later re- wards. An Australian salesman was fined ten dollars for leaning over the counter and stealing a kiss front a customer. Ten years later, when she died, she willed hint iter entire fortune because she "treas- ured that stolen kiss above any- thing else in life." In the same country, the news- papers one clay carried the story of a Sydney man who had been fined for kissing a girl. In hint the solicitor recognized the next-of- kin for whom he had been looking and informed him he had inherited ti fortune, THE FARM FRONT jok?L As a rude this column deals with what 1 might call the more sober aspects of farming—hints and ad- vice on how to do this and that, on how to increase production or avoid losses. But practically all of this involves more or less of the curse of Adana, which is to say hard work. But, as the old-time come- dian used to say, "Today the pro- gram is going to be different." • * * Just as the kids start counting the days till Christmas along about December 1st, there are thousands of fanners who, all through the labor of harvest are looking for- ward, almost as eagerly, to THEIR big day. That day, naturally, is the one when—with the crops all safely sold or stored—they dig out the battered old hunting togs, oil up the trusty shotgun or rifle, and set off in search of game. and the fact that they probably work far harder in that search than they ever did on the farm has, of course, nothing to do with the case. * * * So here follows certain informa- tion which, to the uninitiated will look like a mere list of dates bit which, to the hunter, will be of keen interest. And this information, as released by the authorities, starts off with the news that in Ontario there's no open season for MOOSE, which is hardly news. As for DEER, here's the dope. t October 2nd to November 25tht North of the northern-mcst east - west line of the Canadian National .•Railway from the Quebec boundary to the Manitoba boundary. k * * October 16th to November 25th: South of (above) and north of a line west front the Quebec bound-" ary at the south-east angle of Bre- thour township to Highways No. 11 at the south boundary of Hilliard tovenship, north along I-Iighway No. 11 to Englehart, west to the line of the Canadian National Rail- way along the road to Westree, south along the line of the Cana- dian National Railway to the west boundary of Beulah township, south to the north-east angle of Cascaden township, :test to the north-west angle of township 120,•touth to the south-west angle of township 120, west to the Little White River at the south boundary of township 169, north along the east branch of the Little White River, Kindio- gami River, Lake Kindiogami and the west boundaries of townships 3B and 4B to the north-west angles of township 413, west to the south- west angle of township 5F, ship 7F, and wrest to Lake Superior at the south -wrest angles of block 29, range 15. 5 * * November 1st to November 25th: South of (6) and north of the Mattawa River, Lake Nipissing, French River and the north shore of Georgian Bay and the North Channel and including Cockburn, Great Cloche and Philip Edward Islands. * is * November 10th to November 25th: -Manitoulin Island, St, Joseph Is- land and all islands in Manitoulin District except Cockburn, Great Cloche and Philip Edward Islands. * * * November 6th to November 18th: The Districts of Muskoka (except the townships of IsMedora and Wood), that portion of Nipissing south of the north shore of the lvfattawa River and Trout Lake and tine north boundary of the town- ship of West Ferris, and Parry Sound (except those portions of the townships of Carling, Harrison, Shawanaga, Wallbridge west of Plow With Care—Something new has been added to the CARE package.

HANDLING A GUN CASUALLY OR CARELESSLY IS A MARK, NOT OF AN EX- PERT, BUT OF A NOVICE OR FOOL. AND THERE ISN'T ANY GAME IN CANADA, OR IN THE WORLD, WORTH RISKING THE MAIMING OR KILLING OF YOURSELF OR ANY OTHER PERSON. BARBER-OUS As the new barber nicked the one-armed stranger for the second time, he said, "You have been here before?" "No," said the stranger, "I lost this arm in ,a sawmill." It has always seemed rather a pity to us that We Canadians do not have, in hockey, something that resembles the Football Association Challenge Cup — better known to millions as simply "The Cup" which represents, in the Old Country, the meet coveted honor to. be won in soccer football. * 5 * Here, if a hockey player chooses to remain an amateur — or is for- ced by circumstances to do 90 — he knows that he will never have a chance to match his muscles and shill with those of the top-ranking experts, He knows that he'll never he out there battling for the Stan- ley Cup. But across the. pond even the lowliest simon-pure can at least dream of playing for "The Cup." That is to say, doing so is a possibility, even if not at all prob- able. * * o So many Canadians, triton talking of British Soccer, get mixed up between the various divisions and leagues, and so confuse their games with those played for "The Cup," that the following information taken from an article written by Sydney Skilton might be of some interest. lir. Skilton was writing before the Cup first round had been played a couple of weeks or so go. * * * "The first dozen of England's soccer clubs that inspire to win that magnetic piece of silver known as the Football Association Challenge Cup start off on the trail that leads to it at Wembley today, Sept. 2. There, at the na- tional soccer shrine on April 28, 1951, nearly 100,000 roaring fans will watch the final two of more than 600 protagonists decide which shall carry away in tri- umph the -trophy handed over by the King, a * * "Dozens of those starting today in what is called the Extra Pre- liminary Round know frill well tltcy have not the slightest chance of getting anywhere near the end of the journey-. In fact, they will be highly delighted if they get as far as the competition proper after which they would most surely be eliminated by oiie of the big fellows of the English League who are excused until that stage. The extra big fellows, those who comprise the first and second divisions of the English League are, of course, excused even further. They do not have to take the field until the third round proper, which this season cecttrs on Jan. 6, * "Entries for the 1950-51 compe- tition total 615.

The entrants comprise clubs big and small, amateur and professional, and for them each successive step along the golden path to 'Wembley means a boost - up of income, By tine time the final has been decid- ed it is reckoned that around 1;500,000 will have made its way into the coffers of the rontpeting clubs. The winner receives at least £3(1,000. * * * "'The national soccer cup compe- tition today rates ,as one of the greatest money spinners in British sport. The Football Association itself nets less than £10,000 an- nually from it, but if it hadnot been for the passing of p simply worded resolution by the pioneer members of that now very influ- ential body there might never have been such a competition. e * * "It happened on a hot July aft- ernoon in London in the year 1871. The resolution agreed to was, 'That it is desirable that a challenge cup should be estab- lished in connection with the As- sociation, for which all clubs are invited to compete." rF * * "At that time there were about only 60 clubs 111 membership with the Association, which lied- been formed to control the increasingly popular non - handling code of football, and it was considered highly satisfactory that as many as 15 entered for the inaugural cup competition. Later three withdrew and the entry from Scotland, that of Queen's Park. Glasgow, was allowed to make its appearance as Int as one of the semifinals. * * e "Difficulties of travel were acute in those clays and fete of the provincial clubs could afford the time or the expense of a journey to London for 90 minutes foot- led]. It was not surprising, there- fore, that by far the majority of the entries in the first decade of the competition were from the London area. And the winners, kith the exception of Oxford t'niversity in •1874 were always London teams until 1883 when Blackburn Olympic tools the trophy north fur the first time. SALLY'S SALLIES 'Identify ourselves? Why my husband has just received a let- ter from the President and here it Ls,,, "During these years the stand- ard of professional play bad been advancing steadily and in 1884 the cup passed into the possession of a club operating with paid players. Since then the winner has always been a professional side and usually one from the first division of the English League. The last occasion on which an amateur club was represented in the final tie was in 1885 when Q'ueen's Parte lost for the second successive year to Blackburn Rovers." * 0 * That was a long time ago; and it will be seen that the amateur club hasn't ntuch chance of coming through and taking the coveted Cup. Still there still is a chance and the 'amateur soccer player can at least quote the words of the pop- ular song "I Can Dream, Can't I?" Which is more than the amateur hockey player — if there are any of that breed remaining — can do over here. O * * And while we are on the subject of British Sport, here's some news of interest to lady golfing fans -- and to males interested in lady golfers too, for that matter.
