Hassan All. an Egyptian twenty
1--WE years old, who is 8 feet inches
tall with his russell shoes on, got into
trouble with Customs House inspectors
in Jersep City recently, because he at
tempted to bring 1000 cigarettes into
this country in the false bottom Of his
trunk. The giant arrived OF tbs
steamship North America o: the La
veloce Line from Naples. on his way
to the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo, where he says he expects to
make q lot Of money by placing him
self on exhibition. When the inspect
ors tackled his baggage Hassan gazed
down upon them and smiled good nat
nredly until they penetrated to the
cigarettes. Then he got nervous. He
stoutly denied that he had any intent
of smuggling. He said that he was
very fond of the brand and brought the
cigarettes with him for personal use.
The cigarettes were appraised and
later the giant paid the duty on them
and left Jersey City. Hassan said his
father, who was killed in the Soudan-
ese war, was feet inches tall. He
has a sister who is only feet in
height.-New York Sun.

Gen. Buffers campaigning-and in

has seen much service-has been prin-
cipally in Africa. Having served In
the Red river expedition in 1870, he be-
came one of the Garnet Woloeley

Ashanti. But his fame rests chiefly
on his exploits in South Africa and In
the Sudan. In Zululand. after Isan-
dula, he largely helped to aver the
consequences Of defeat and took part
in the battle Of Ulundi. Still more
notable was his record in the Sudan.

President Roosevelt and Eugene San

amazed.
II have a strong hand. Unconscious
ly sometimes when shaking hands l
grip ones fingers too firmly, perhaps,
but 1t would require some effort on my
part to use the force the President puts
forth when he shakes hands.
There was the quick. nervous grasp
about his handshake that told me 1t
was backed up by great physical
strength and tremendous energy.
His manner, his appearance-all his
actions indicate power. At glance l..
or anyone, could tell that he was an
athlete. He looks like one, acts like
one, and I know he feels like one.
LAC hdo III NchA-
mand. He il sure of every one OF his
muscles He knows just what each can
do. He has tested them and he gets
some form of exercise out of every one
of his actions.
II can imagine what his enthusiasm
would be in making charge against
an enemy and how he could inspire
his men. On horseback l should deem
him invincible. And after looking Mt
the man l believe that there is not a
horse on earth that President ROOse-
welt could not conquer. The horse
would feel. the moment Mr.. Roosevelt
grasped the bride. that his master
was in the saddle.
1.-THE Presidents nerves need no
treatment. Probably they never will
need treatment. He knows the bene-
fit of exercise. 1t Is second nature to
him, and he will never give it up. And
so long as he exercises his nerves will
never trouble him. To know his
strength all you have to do Is to look
at his neck and shoulders. Even in re-
pose his muscles stand out. Every
thing about him, in fact. indicates that
he Is as sound as a young oak.

in speaking of President Roosevelts
physical makeup. His tremendous vi
tai energy and powerful build simply
make him n man of iron.
MY mission Is physical culture, and
that alone. The athletic life that Pres
ident Roosevelt leads will do more to
advance physical culture and to raise
the physical standard of men and
women in America than all other influ-
ences combined. With such an advo-
cate as he-an advocate who himself
exercises three hours each day-the
cause must triumph"

We are frequently asked nowadays
II man should buy or rent farm. II
a man has teams and tools enough to
run a farm, and enough money to
make payment down, we would be
in favor of buying. A man can work
his own land to better advantage than
IL lie rents it. Then, too, he will be
more saving while paying for farm.
He will not buy many unnecessary
things that would tempt him II he
were not trying to pay for his land.
Besides this he can make improve
ments during odd spells without much
expense. There ls also the increase In

all his rivals to acknowledge his grit
