That evening he entertained a number of guests at dinner, and later there was a musi cal party at the White House, nt which he was present. At the lun cheon, the next day, the giver said to him: "Mr. President, of course you have not had time to look at that book." Oh, yes," said the President, "I have read it." Whereupon he proved that he had done so by his criticism of the work. One day, lately, a book of short sloiics was sent to him; al most by return mail came a letter thanking the sender and saying he ltad already enjoyed the stones greatly in serial publication. "How does he manage to do it?" All I know about this is that, in the first place, he has by nature or practice the faculty of extremely rapid reading. There arc some men of letters and "general read ers" who never have been able to acquire this art. Others can take in paragraphs or pages well-nigh at a glance. The President must be onoof these photographic readers, who take almost instantly the im pression of n whole paragraph or nearly a whole page, the eye run ning along the line with lightning like rapidity, and leaping to the more important phrases as by in stinct. I have known the follow ing to occur. A congressman makes a statement to him and hands him a typewritten paper. Almost im mediately the President hands it back to him; whereupon the con gressman says deprecatingly: "Mr. Roosevelt, may I not leave this paper with you? I am anxious to have you read it." "But," says the President, "I have read it; you can examine me in it if you wish." AIEMIER BOTTILNG WORKS AGENTS, HONOLULU .; ,ss?JiS??j3aaKBaa5 OUR BRANDS OF.

HACKFELD & CO., Ltd., Resident Agents, KILO l'rolmlile Origin of "Yankee Doo dle." The following is a translation of an article from the Frankfurter Zcitung: In the publication of Ilchsenlantl (No. 2, 1905), Johann Lewalter gives expression to his opinion that "Yankee Dootlle" was originally a country dance of a district of the former province of Kur-Hesse, call ed the "Schwnlm." It is well known that the tune of "Yankee Doodle" was derived from a military inarch played by the Hessian troops during the Re volution in America. In studying the dances of the Schwnlm, Lcwal ter was struck by the similarity in form and rhythm of "Yankee Doo dle" to the music of these dances. Last year, at the "kirmess" of the village of Wasenberg, when "Yan kee Doodle" was phyed, the young men and girls swung into a true "Schwahner" dance, as though the music had been composed for it. During the wai of 1776 the chief recruiting office for the enlistment of the Hessian hired soldiers was Ziegenhain, in Kur-IIcssc. It therefore seems probable that the Hessian recruits from the "Sch waltn," who served in the pay of Great Britain in America during the Revolutionary wnr, and whose military band instruments consisted of bugles, drums and fifes only, carried over with them the tune, known to them from childhood, and played it as a inarch.

A Rur giant has made his appearance ui London who is said to be the tallest man in the world. The giant was measured by n tail or for n dress suit. It was lound that he is 9 feet 8 inches in height, 463 pounds in weight and n four shil'ing piece can be passed thtough the ring that he wears on the small fingtrofhis loft hand. The cir cumference of his head is three qunrtcrs of n ynrd and he wenrs a collar of twenty-three inches. The monster wears the largest boots in the world. His feet are two feet and one-half inches in size, nud, in consequence, his boots measure two feet three inches. Among the giants whose records may be re garded as authentic, the Russian's claim to be the tallest, seems to be justified. Some of the famous big men of the past were John Middle ton, 9 feet 3 inches, born in Iica shirc in 1575; I'atric O'Brien, 8 ft. 7 inches, born in Kinsnlc, Ireland, in 1761; and John Frederick, Duke of Brunswick, 8 feet 6 inches. Only Moaned "My Clilltl." When the night attendants nt Bcllevuc Hospital went to work the other night they saw, standing in front of the morgnc, a fat young man who held a yellow-haired doll clasped tightly to his breast and wlios left trouser leg was rolled up to the knee, exposing a generous cilf and six inches of a striped sock. The young man rocked backward and forward ns he stood, crooning to the doll, bursting out every now and then with "My child, my child I" Dr. Armstrong thought the man crazy. Not a word could they get out of him. Armstrong attempted to roll down his trouser and the young man kicked at him and mouthed unintelligibly. Arm strong called Dr. Dandier from the hospital, nud several assistants came with Bandler. They were about to overpower the man and take him to the psychopathic ward when half a dozen young fellows rushed across the street and said: "Here, let that boy alone. He's not dafly. He is simply going through his initiation into Nu Sig ma Nu." Theu they doused the young fellow with a bucket of cold water and led him away, howling like Indians. THH FIRST BANK OF HILO LIMITED.
