Pairick Hayes, a resident of Cardiff, says he remembers the French landing at Bantry Bay in 1798, and he believes that he was then about five years old. This would make Hayes’ age somewhere in the neighborhood of 104. "All efforts to find a record of the man’s birth or baptism in County Cork, where he says both events took place, have proved without result, so his claim to have passed the century mark can be admitted or denied, according ai one is disposed or not to credit the autnen- ticity of memories like his. Most peorle, probably, wili be disposed to suspect that his earilest r-collections are not of things he saw but of things about which be was told.. This skeptical attitude of mind is the more excusable in the case of Hayes because he is still able to walk out in the coldest weather without an_overcoat and bas bardly a_gray hair on his thickly cov- ered head.—New York Times. ———————— THE CALL CALENDAR.
