sponses to Toasts,
The Old Home Day, Thursday, Aug
ust 10, proved to be one of the most
notable occasions in the history of this
quiet little village. The people of the
West Parish entered heartily into the
needtul preparations and a good re-
Spouse came from the $50 invitations
sent out to former residents whose
homes are now elsewhere. So far as
is known there never has been any oc-
casion previously which has so fully in
terested the inhabitants or called them
together so generously. The observ-
ance was planned simply for the West
Parish of Westminster, and designed
to include every person born within
its bounds or residents therein for any
length of time.
The present population does not
exceed $50. About 200 of these
were present and about $50 came from
other localities, mainly from the New
England states. Three hundred and
twenty-five persons partook of the col
lation, and others came in the after
noon. 1t is judged that at least $50
people were in attendance. This is a
very unusual number to call together
in this community.
By 10 o'clock the street was lively
with teams and people. For two hours
there followed hand shaking and a
hearty greeting of old friends and ac-
quaintances met after a separation
perhaps of many years, in some cases
scarcely recognizing each other and in
some cases needing to be introduced.
This social occasion was one of the
most enjoyable features of the cele-
bration. A book for registry had been
provided and nearly 300 signatures
were placed in it during the day, and
others will be added to make up the
full number who were present.

For long-distance swimming the
shark may be said to hold the record,
a. he can outstrip the swiftest ships
apparently without effort, swimming
and playing around them and ever on
the lookout for prey. Any human be-
ing falling overheard in shark-fre-
quented waters has very little chance
of escape, so rapid is the action of the
shark, the monster OF the deep. The
dolphin, another fast-swimming fish
a near relative of the whales credit
ed with a speed of considerably over 20
miles an hour. For short distances
the salmon can outstrip every other
fish. accomplishing its 25 miles an hour
with ease. The Spanish mackerel is
one of the fastest of food fishes and
cuts the water like a yacht. Preda-
tory fish are generally the fastest
swimmers.

NEWSPAPER MANS MISTAKE
He Sent Vice President Hobnrt's Card
TO . Senator Instead of
His Own.

Baltimore newspaper man once
came over TO Washington to do some
interviewing Of public men, says q
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. Is was
when Garrett a. Hobart was vice presi-
dent, and he called upon that distin-
guished New Jerseyan first. Then,
with fear and trembling, he went 70
the residence of a senator who was
noted for frigidity toward representa-
tiyes OF the press. He sent up his card
and expected to be sent curt refusal
20 be seen. What was his astonish-
ment when the lackey came down
stairs, bowed profoundly and said
that Senator So-and-So would be down
in just minute, and would he be so
good as TO make himself at home
meanwhile. In less than that time the
statesman came down the staircase
at a pace that made the reporter fear
for the safety Of his limbs.
"Ah! Mr.. Hobart, delighted TO see
you," he said, as he entered, with his
hand outstretched, and before his eyes
had become accustomed TO the dark
tned parlor. Then, of a sudden, he
drew himself up stifHy. fumbled in
his waistcoat, pulled out the card that
had been sent TO him, and demanded:
What do you mean by this imposi-
ton, sir?' Like lightning It flashed
on the newspaper man what had hap
pened. He had, while in the vice pres
idents room, inadvertently picked up
oncNof Mr.. Hobart's cards and had
used IL by mistake for one OF hts own.
His apologies were ample, but the
senator could not be induced TO for
give that thrilling dash down the slip
perry staircase simply to accommodate
mere scribbler.
