The 1lerchant Prince of England The first time that Sir Thomas Lipton came to America was in 1865 as a stowaway in an old-fashioned littie tramp steamer, ani when the vessel neared port hie was busily eagaged in shoveling coal iute the furnaces. The latest time was in 1903, wben a whole nation held hlm ln honor as a valiant and true sportsman, making bis third brave but vain attempt t0 take a silver 1cap hack ta England. On this occasion hie 1îved lîke a prince on bis steamer "Ern," surrounded by bis fleet of thirty-three boats-steamers, houseboats, barges, tugs, cruiisers,, steam launches, gigs, jolly boats and dingies-maini. tained at bis expense and manned by over two bundred men. Sir Thomas was born, in lreland, but spe'nt bis early years ln Scotland; bis educaf ion was a hurried, uncoaventional, picked-up vaniety, and at fifteen, with rosy dreams, hie ran away fre>m home, smuggled himself lnto a steamer and came ta New York. Hîs eight dollars did not last long, and after working in the rice fields of South Carolina, driving a street car in New Orleans, can- vassing for a crayon portrait conceru, stealing rides on freight cars, and mak- ing a day-by-day living as best bie could, went back two years later to Glasgow, îempty of purse but rich la experience. The prodigal was received with open arms, and with £100 of bis iather's savings, bie opened a littie meat and provision store. He introduced American idteas,, worked, a$ ha says, "twenty-five hours a day," and advertised to the limit of bis ingenuity. One day, sevea of the leanest, gauntest, hungriest men inth klngdom paraded the town la ladian file, bearing on their backs the legend]: "We are going to Lipton's,"ý Next day, seven of tbe fattest men that -ouild b'e foundl, walked the streets proclaiming in large letters: "'We have( been to Lipton's."
