A Boswell for Book Notes.-It is some
what curious that the biographical notes
on books usually divide themselves into
two groups, separated one from the other
by many years-the publishers notes of
the books when they are first issued and
the retrospective sketches and gleanings
that the biblophile gathers decades later
in the dusty alcove of Some library. Some
day Boswell of the book will arrive who
will treat of it as living subject, freed on
one hand from the trademarks of the pub
fishers and on the other from the dog-ears
of the bookworms. He will be less of
curio hunter than Mr. D'Israeli, and more
In sympathy with his theme than Mr.. Bret
Harte; he will have the literary erudition
of Henry James, and the power of visual
ization Of the elder Dumas. In short, he
will make himself very agreeable by tell
lnS interesting thlnSS ABOUT what is recent
and worthy in literatu
How his work is to be done is another
matter. If we knew, we would be tempted
to pose just now as the Boswell ourselves,
for certainly books that have recently
passed before our eyes are we'll calculated
to kindle the curiosity to know something
about their origin, contemporary history,
and possible fate in a variety of phases.
The success of the Boswell must lie in his
conference. We know a lot of interesting
things about the books people are reading

ALL HAD DINNER
New York Troops Were
Toasted at Waiakea.
Guests OF Manager and Mrs Ken.
nedy-A Luau With Roast Tur-
key-Dancins Also.

Last Thursday afternoon the New
YORK soldiers at Hilo were given a
big Thanksgiving luau by Mr. and Mrs.
c. c. Kennedy at the big sugar plan
tation at Waiakea.
The tables were arranged in the big
sugar room of the mill, which had
been deliberately decorated with
palms, flowers and flags.
Instead of table cloths the food
stuffs, prepared, cooked and served in
Hawaiian style, were placed upon ii
leaves, which literally covered the
tables.
The services Of all the young ladies
in the city We're engaged to wait on
the soldiers, while to the married
ladies fell the responsibility of ar
ranging the tables for the feast.
AT one end of the room were placed
the good things where the charming
young mattresses would experience but
little delay in service.
The troops, headed by the regiment
al band, marched from the warehouse
in which they We're camped, to the
plantation and entered the room
marching two abreast.
When all were in the building the
command was given to be seated. Be
fore the onslaught on the mysterious
looking packages was undertaken
beautiful leis were placed about each
mans neck.
At each plate--wOoden-wa a hand
somely printed souvenir menu OF what
comprised the feast. The delicacies
placed before the boys to eat, as print
ed on the menu, were: Fish, from the
Waiakea ponds; Taro: Pig. wrapped in
to leaves; Sweet Potatoes: Breadfruit:
Beef, wrapped in ii leaves; Turkey,
Eukui nuts, Rolls, Taro Pudding, Ha-
waiian Pudding, Mince Pie, Fruits,
Soda Water, Lemonade, Coffee, Poi
and Cigars.
The boys did not take very kindly
to the peculiarly cooked dishes, and in
consequence, when the turkey was
served 1t speedily disappeared.
During the dinner, a native band Of
musicians discoursed instrumental and
vocal music at one end OF the room
When all had eaten until they could
eat no more the tables were cleared
away, the floor prepared for dancing
and this was the order OF the after
noon. For the dancing the military
band furnished the music, while the
music for the evening dance, in the
same place, was furnished by the Wela
IA Hao orchestra.
Returning to camp the men were
loud In their praises for Mr.. and Mrs.
Kennedy and all the good people who
assisted in trying to make the Thanks
giving day feast most pleasant event.

SPOKE TO BOYS
Neat Address OF Col. Bar.
Der 10 the Soldiers.


At Camp waialae last Thursday, aft.
er dinner had been served to men of
the New York Regiment OF Volunteers
by ladies Of Honolulu, with Mrs. Dole
at the head. an address was made by
Colonel Barber, commanding the bat
taliOns. Sergeant's call was sounded to
assemble the men.
Colonel Barber reminded the soldiers
Of the sentiments and thoughts
brought no doubt to the breast of all
by the Thanksgiving season and espe-
cially as they were far from home. He
added that they would soon bid fare
well to Hawaii and in due time reach
the points at which they had enlisted
and again take up their callings as
American citizens in private life. The
colonel was sorry. he said that the re-
giment could not have gone forward
into the country of the enemy. He
knew that all of the men regretted It,,
but he felt that IL took as much cour-
age to do what they had done from the
first as would be required in active
campaigning.
Colonel Barber put special emphasis
on the faithful and brotherly attention
the men had given their comrades who
had been so unfortunate as to be com
PEELED to go into the hospital. He told
how the well men had treated the sick
ones with all the tenderness and
thoughtfulness they could command It
did not matter what regiment the pa
tient came from, all were looked after
the same. All had been thought of
alike, whether from North or South
volunteers or regulars, because all were
Americans.
The colonel spoke feelingly of the
kindness OF the ladies of Honolulu to
the regiment. The ladies were at the
wharf when the transports arrived and
gave the boys garlands and bouquets
and fruit. The ladies had from the
first done thousand and one things
to help the boys along, and now as a
climax, they had given them as fine a
Thanksgiving dinner as they could
ever expect at home. He felt certain
that the great kindness of the ladies'
was fully appreciated.
After the speech the soldiers showed
their admiration for their colonel by
cheering him heartily. Cheers were
also given for President Dole, for Mrs.
Dole and for the ladies Of Honolulu.

as they choose. 1t Is stated that they
have been asked to come to Honolulu,
but refuse to leave the ship. The
amount due the crew is said to be no
less than $4,000. This has been a
