had seat in the House of Represent
atives while in Washington. 1t was
while q session of that body was In
progress, but was held only during a
| recess.
He was escorted about the Capitol
by Prince Cupid and given a special
seat in the gallery. When a short
recess was declared Cupid sought Mr..
Low and took him upon the floor OF
the House. and, giving him a seat next
his own, told him to make himself
comfortable.
IT hadn't any idea when left Ha-
wall that I would occupy 30 prominent
n position" said Mr.. Low, laughingly.
"but my being congressman was
short-lived.
THAT episode which was alleged to
have taken place In a Columbus, Ohio,
theater, wherein the dispatches said
that Prince and Princess Kalanianaole
had been elected from their box. was
Incorrect. The Prince and Princess
are my personal friends and I took the
trouble to ascertain the facts. They
attended the theater and had a box.
The manager ascertained who his pa
tron was. and having known King Ka-
lakaua he was desirous Of meeting the
Prince. During an intermission. he
sent word to the box asking IL he
might not have the pleasure Of meet
ing and talking with Cupid. The
Prince left the box, met the manager.
and they talked of old times, especially
with regard to the king. The Princess
remained in the box all the time. There
was no unpleasantness.
my meeting with President Roose-
Welt was somewhat novel. We had
just arrived in Washington and had
taken apartments at the New Willard
Hotel. Mr.. Hayward met us and we
all went out for walk. We went
around by the White House. and then
over to the Army and Navy building.

suit. Mr.. Hayward suggested going
over to the Presidents office and maxi
ing an engagement with his private
secretary for an audience. had
Governor Doles and Secretary Carter's
letters of Introduction in my pocket.
So we went into the offices and my
letters were sent in. Mr.. Haywood had
told me that the President was then
quite busy and was seeing but few
people,
"One Of the letters introduced me to
the President, as the 'Roughest cow
boy on Hawaii I guess that caught
the Presidents fancy, for about
minute later the door opened quickly
and out came President Roosevelt
himself. Mr.. Haywood introduced

to me he came and shook
hands cordially. We chatted about
the Islands in general and he said
that he would be glad of an oppor-
tunity to come here and enjoy season
Of hunting.
Il attended the convention of the
National Live Stock Association in
and made an address on
live stock matters In the Islands. Yes, ,
1t was very well received, and the '
members seemed to take a great inter- |

do answering questions on Hawaii"
The following clipping from the Dali '

From a remarkably fine set Of pic
