HORSES MEMORY.
An Interesting Experiment With An Old
Engine Borse-He Responded to the
Gong After Five Years Absence.

Eleven years ago horse was purchased
for the fire engine Portland No. 2, on
Munioy Hill. This horse was called "Old
Toni, and it helped draw the engine for
six years and was then disposed of. 1t
has been drawing an ash-cart of late
years and the other day went by the en-
CINE house. Engineer Loring, who knew
the horse well. since they came to that
engine in the same year and were there
together for six years, fell into CONVEX
sation with the driver and told him that
be hadn't a doubt that if the old horse
was put in his old stall and the gong was
sounded he would rush for his place in
front of the engine just as he used to do.
The driver doubted this and they agreed
to try it, The old horse. now 10 years
old, was put in his old stall, where he
hadn't been for five years. At the first
sound of the gong, he started for his old
place under the harness in front of the
engine. He tried to go quickly, but made
but a sorry exhibition of nimbleness COM
pared to his former habit
This seems to be petty good evidence OF
a horses memory.

LIES ROMANCE.
Murray Ouimby in Four Years Acquires
Large Fortune.

In personal the other day the PRESS
spoke of the report that Mr.. Murray
Quimby, son of the late Rev. Mr.. Qulmby
of the Gospel Banner, had been left a
great fortune by the late Mr.. E. X. Hun

lars of the case.
Four years ago Murray Quimby went
to Boston from Maine and secured a
position in the firm Of Doe, Hunnewe1 q
Co., at Arlington street. Here he began
at the very rudiments of the furniture
and cabinet trade, and applied himself
with faithful steadiness which won him
the esteem and confidence of his en-
ployers. In time warm friendship
sprang up between the boy and T. 4.
Hunnewen of the firm. Mr.. Hunnewell
had no family, and being thus alone in
the world, the boy found warm place in
his heart At the end of three years
young Quimby was admitted to the firm.
Then he returned to his native home
and married one of the most charming
and brightest Maine girls. At Hotel
Royal, on Beacon street, the young
couple took an apartment. and Mr..
Hunnewell made his home with them.
July is Mr.. Hunnewen died, and to Mr..
Quimby was left his share in the.business
and his estate which is valued at little
less than $780, 600.
Mr.. Quimby is an estimable young
man. and all his friends rejoice in his
good fortune. He is a fine looking
Young man, with dark hair and eyes, and
an expression of frank sincerity.

and his wife Dorcas Milk, also represent

the growth and welfare of the old town,
placed in the First Parish church-the
oldest church in New England east of
Wells-a beautiful tablet in memory of
their ancestors, who have attended service
in that historic edifice for almost a
century and half.
The tablet is golden bronze, five feet
long by three in height and divided into
three panels, each of which is of beaten
brass separated, each from the other by
Ionic columns of bronze. At the top OF
the tablet appears the inscription;
Gin Grateful and Loving Memory. of. y

Last Five Months-They Came from Al
most Every State in the Union and From
Many Foreign Countries.
The top Of the Observatory is always
an interesting place, and at this time OF
year one of its special attractions is the
visitors book in which are registered
the names of q great many OF the people
who have visited the Observatory during
the past season. From the middle of last
March till the present time, a period of
five months, just 1908 names have been
registered. This is over ten per cent more
than last year. The Christian En-
deavorers and the Knights Tenplar have
undoubtedly caused the increase. These
1903 visitors to our old lookout on Munjoy
hill represent nearly all the States of the
Union, and q good many foreign
countries. OF course quite q large proper
tion of the visitors do not register, but
after the names OF those who have, are
written the following states, most OF
them repeated many times: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland Virginia. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado,
Washington, d. c., Minnesota, North
Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, West
Virginia, South Dakota, Oregon and
California.
Of visitors from foreign countries there
were three from London, and others from
Manchester, Eng, Switzerland, Armenia,
Cardiff, Wales, Porto Rico, West Indies,
Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Ontario, Sher-
brooke, P. c., and many from Montreal,
Toronto and Quebec.
Among the thousands of names written
all over the inside walls of the top of the
Observatory are three of especial interest.
They are written in large print, not
script, and are enclosed with line
drawn around them. The names are those
of W. S. Whittier of Maiden, Mass. his
sister Maud Whittier and his affianced,
Sadie Shoreley. The date is August 28th,
1888. Several years after these names
were written some visitors called the at
tention of Mr. Dinsmore to them and
told.him that soon after the three young
people returned home from that trip to
Portland, Miss Shoreley died from diph-
liberia. Miss Whittier caught it from her
and her brother also caught it and all
three died. Mr.. Dinsmore has, of course,
learned occasionally and in curious ways,
something about the people who write
their names on the Observatory, but this
is the saddest story that he has ever heard
in that connection.
