A SAILORS CHRISTENING.

"The late Bishop Potter once in his
early days had occasion to officiate at a
Christening in small fishing village Oh
the Massachusetts coast says writer
in the current issue of Harper's Week
ly. 'The proud father, young fisher
man, awkwardly holding his first born
daughter, was visibly embarrassed un-
der the scrutiny of the many eyes in
the congregation, and his nervousness
was not decreased by the sudden wall
ing of the infant as they stood at the
font.
"When the time for the baptism of
the babe arrived the Bishop noticed
that the father was holding the child so
that its fat little legs pointed toward
the font.
"'Turn her this way he whispered,
but the father was too disconcerted to
hear or understand.
"'Turn her feet around the Bishop
whispered again; but still there was no
response. The situation was fast be-
coming critical, when an ancient mari
ner in the back of the church came to
the rescue. Putting his weather-beaten
hand to bis mouth he roared across
the room, Head her up to the wind,

BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER.

1t was an American commodore, 60
ing to the relief of a British vessel in a
quarrel that might have resulted in a
great war between England and a
powerful nation of the continent, who
said ''b!ood is thicker than water and
the cordial greetings that welcome our
fleet at the capital Of the most English
of all the colonies of the British EN-
pire, is hut the echo, ''blood is thicker
than water" In 1898, when we were
at war with Spain. all continental
Europe, from the Baltic to the Medi-
terranean, was hostile, and Germany
and France threatened. Then it was
that England gathered together a
powerful fleet that caused the CONT
nent to employ a more civil tongue.
And there again, ''blood was thicker
than water as it was when Dewey
put the question to the German adml-
raj at the siege of Manila. :.
But "blood is thicker than water,
and the growing friendship between
the two great peoples of common
tongue, and practically common blood,
promotes the welfare of all mankind

the VXfR FAMILY REUNION.

Thursday, September srd, was the
day of the Mixer reunion at Silver Har-
vest Grange Hall, Waldo. The weather
was not very promising, but the Mixers
are a stout-hearted race and at an early
hour they began to arrive, and at noon
eighty-five were present. One encour-
aging sign of the good times IN store In
the future was the large number of
children present. 1t was on February
10, 1909, that George Mixer and Mary
Crooks were married. They had thlr-
teen children. all of whom lived to man.
hood and womanhood, and twelve Of
them married and reared family. The
other is still living, but was never mar
ried. 1t is these Original thirteen,
and their descendants, who nave met
on the first Thursday in September for
nineteen successive years. Only one of
the soriginal thirteen" was present
this wear. Mrs. Maria Clements OF
Brooks, Three others of the original
thirteen are still living-Mrs. Maria
Clements of Brooks and Mrs. Abigail
Mckay and Mr.. Matilda Linnekin Of
Knox. Mrs. Linnekin is past 80 years
of age but still enjoys a good time as
we'll as any of the younger Mixers.
About II o'clock the business meet
ing was called to order, and the
following officers elected: President,
John d. Mixer; vice presidents, George
RYAN and Herbert Payson; secretary,
Mrs. |. A. Sanborn; treasurer, w. B.
Cammett; committes on arrangements,
Everett Clements, Lillian Ryan and
Zylpha Clements; committee on pro-
gram, Rose Ryan, Mrs. Manley Harri-
man and Goldie Payson. After the
business meeting, a bountiful dinner
was spread in the dining hall. 1t has
been said that those who eat can work,
and if that is true the Mixers can GER
tainly work.
After dinner the meeting was again
called to order and the following pro-
gram presented: Photograph selection;
rec, Ruth l.. Paul; rec, Margle Page;
rec, Fletcher Whitcomb; photograph
selection; recitation, LaVaughn Whit
comb; recitation, Bernice Hartman;

others; phonograph selection; farce,

The program was done, but the Mix
ers did not 60, for if any special hour
of the day is more enjoyable than the
others, it is this last hour of handclasps
and "reminiscences. But all good things
must end, and about five o'clock the
last member departed, each with pleas
ant memories of the day and happy
anticipations of future Mixer reunions.

Capt. Johnson says: Admiral R. d.
Evans came into the service during the
latter part of the war and was but a
STRIPPING of boy. On several boat ex-
petitions he was my junior and was
under my command. He was gallant
fellow, always, and in that terrible
charge made on Fort Fisher was at the
head of the gallant blue jackets from
the old Powhattan, and while leading
them ON got a shot in the leg. Tying
a handkerchief around it he pressed on
at the head of his men. In a few mo-
ments he received a shot in the other
leg and went down and was carried
from the field, bleeding at every vein.

THE BOSTON POST MAN.
William H. Farnham of Chelsea Dean OF
Reporter Corps.

The Boston Post is a great big tinan-
cial success. II has grown very rapidly
since the early ninetles, when it became
a penny paper.
TO enumerate the sons of the Post
would be pleasant task, but IL would
be a long one. And lest some be omit
ted who should be included mention
will only be made of William II. Farm
ham who covers East Boston, Chelsea,
Revere and Winthrop for the paper.
He is the dean of the reporters corps,
having been covering" for p years.
For the past seven years he has been
with the Post Before that he was with
the Advertiser and the Record. ''Bilr'
Farnham, as he is called from the bed
ham line to Cape Ann, began newspaper
work in the Chelsea Weekly Record i'll
1887. He started the Chelsea Daily Rec
ord in December, 1890, and remained
with it until 1899.
From this brief outline il may be as.
sumed that he knows all about news
paper work. He has had many difficult
assignments, but none SO severe as the
Chelsea fire. He lives in the city, and
lost by the fire all he had. But he re-
NAMED on duty through it all. His re-
fusal to leave the work of the paper
even when his home was burning is an
example of a newspaper mans devotion
to duty. Such acts, however, never pass
unnotlced by the chief, and in this case
Mr.. GroZier insisted on showing his ap-
probation in substantial manner.
Farnham is a North Ender, and is a
graduate of the old Eliot School. In
his early married life he lived in East
Boston, but for many years he has been
a resident of Chelsea. He has been very
. active in the social and civil affairs of
this CITY. He has been a member of the
CITY government and was elected the
| first clerk of committees when the office
was created under Mayor Bosom, serv-
ing for six years. He is at present an
assistant assessor of Chelsea. Indeed,
he has been very active and useful
citizen in many civil capacities.
Quiet, reserved and conscientious, he
| has been successful alike in the news
paper field, and in the, association of
| friend, neighbor and business man. He
| is a good fellow to know, and popular
with everybody. To his fellow news
paper men he will be known always as
Bill. and as the man who first went
| through the East Boston tunnel after
it was built, little i'scoOp" that is
| told softly when the twilight fades
East Boston Free Press.
MI. Farnham is a Belfast boy, attend
ed the public schools here, and we are
proud of his success. He was the guest
for a short time the past summer of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. jSmythe at their
home on Northport avenue.

THREE OLD CUP DEFENDERS.

The Puritan, Mayfiower. and Volunteer,
all Three Designed by Burgess of Boston.
The late Edward Burgess designed
the sloops which defended the cup sue
cessfully in 1885, 1886, and 1887. The
Puritan, the first of the trio, was the
first outside-balasted American de-
fender, a radical departure for her
time. She was sold after the racing
and changed hands several times until
she was bought by G. H. w. Foster of
Boston, who couple of years ago put
her up at auction. She was bought by
a junk firm tor $4,000, hardly more
than her lead, fittings, and equipment,
aside from the hull, were worth. She
lies in the basin at LaWley's yard.
South Boston. Her deck is bare to the
weather and she looks like a weather
beaten craft which had served her
time. OF schooner rig after her cup
racing was over. she is in that rig to-
day.
The Mayhower, the second of the
Burgess boats, was owned for some
years by W. Amory Gardner of the
Eastern Yacht Club, Boston, who used
her for cruising, she, too, having been
changed to schooner rig. The May
flower is now owned by Mrs. Eva NJ.
Barker of New York, and is a fine
boat. The last of the trio, the Volun-
teer, is owned by the Forbes family,
who purchased her after the cup races.
After Commodore Forbes purchased
her, she was again changed to sloop
and is the only one of the Boston cup
defenders to have her old rig. She is
now out of commission and is laid up
at Fairhaven, near New Bedford.
She is on the sales list and may be seen
at some future date as a schooner OF
yawl Unlike the Puritan and May
flower, she had a clipper bow. which
gave her a rakish look. Gen. Charles
J. Paine was the managing owner OF
these three Boston cup defenders.

4 GREAT FREIGHT STEAMSHIP LINE

The Growth Of the American Hawaiian Line
of Steamships in a Few Years at Least Sur
prlsing.
1t has been said that if capital was
not so timid the American flag on
steamships might be oftener seen in
foreign ports of the world in the cargo
carrying business exclusively. The fire.
uuent adding of new ships to the Ameri-
can Hawaiian Steamship C0mpany's
fleet since it was organized only a few
years ago seems to bear out this argu-
ment. The incorporators of this enter
prise, who had previous long experience
with sailing vessels between New York
via Cape Horn to San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands, saw an oppor-
tunity to transfer their business to
steamers, the result Of which has been
the building of a fleet of fourteen
freight carriers second to none of any
country
The steamships American, Hawaiian,
Oregonian, Californian and Isthmian
now run between New York and Coat
zacoalcos, Mexico atlantic system)
while the Nevadan, Nebraskan, Alas
kan, AriZonan, Virginian, Texan, Next
can. Columbian and the Missourian
make up the Pacific system between
Salina Cruz and other Pacific Ocean
ports. About two years ago, more or
less, connection was made with the
Tehuantepec Railway across Mexico,
so that these ships were enabled to
forego the long voyage around the
Horn by dividing the fleet into an At
lantic and Pacific system to carry on
the trade they had worked up all these
years more expeditiously for their pa
irons and more satisfactory to them
selves. Recently the steamers Nebras-
kan and Nevadan have been placed on
the route between Salina Cruz, Santi-
ago, Portland, Tacoma and Seattle, re-
turning to Salina Cruz via San Fran
cisco every twenty one days.
The growth of this fast freight line
has been largely due to the former ex
perience of its management, which is
composed of men that had sailed the
seven seas in earlier life as we'll as
those who had been connected with the
carrying trade in sailing vessels be-
tween this and Pacific ports for many
wears. The most astonishing thing in
connection with the American-HaWai-
ian Line has been its rapid increase in
steamers from a fleet of four at the
start to that of fourteen at the present
time.-The Marine Journal.
The majority of these big steamships
are commanded by Searsport men.
