When it went into the air the lire tight

This Is the birthplace of the tune OF
Yankee Doodle according 10 Herr
Lewalter. and his discovery OF the fact
is due to the recent publication in berhh
OF a work entitled "Schwalmer Tame;
In Wort und Weise in der Schwalm 'Oper-

The dances present a unique departure
from the almost universal domination OF
the waltz in Germany. They consist OF
numerous set figures, for each of which
special gesticulations and motions Of the
body are prescribed by tradition.
The dancers accompany the music by
striking the heels of their shoes together
in regular cadence. Many Of the tunes
have traditional words, and these the
dancers and onlookers sing in unison with
the pipes or fiddlcs.
The Schwalmer have considerable Gel

attention Of Jerome Bonaparte when Hcsse

MIR. Goes at 90 Still an Enthusiastic Angler
He Has Just Finished His Foryxth Annual Visit to the Maine Woods
Attributes His Activity to His Outings.

BINGHAM, Me. June Ill am just as
! happy as any boy ever was after catching
a good mess of fish,
This was the remark made by Loring
Goes, a 93-year-old boy of Worcester,
Mass, as he boarded blackboard
bound for home, the other day at the end
of two weeks fishing at Rowe Pond. His
angling had been successful and he caught
more fish than most of the younger boys
who went there to fill their baskets.
1t was not good weather for fishing much
of the time, vet Mr., Goes. the Oldest fisher
man who comes to the Maine woods after
recreation and trout got fish enough to
satisfy his appetite.
The first time Mr.. Goes came o Maine to
fish was when he visited the Rangeley
region in 1859. He had little idea then that
he was to come every year for forty-siX
consecutive seasons. He celebrated his
ninety-third birthday in April by working
all day, losing just time enough to accept
some toys of gold and silver his employees
and relatives thrust upon him. along with
congratulations.

the descendants Of the Dutch colonists
in New York
Various German publications are quoted
"a giving substantially the same story,
the surgeons name appearing in one or
two cases as Richard Schuckburg. One of
these accounts vaguely speaks of the tune
as an old Jacobte song from Scotland,
while another asserts that the air and a

appears to have been the first to throw out
a hint Of the Hessian origin of the tune.
1t is a mere hint, but the idea appealed to
the local pride of Herr Lewater and started
his investigation of the subject
He first showed from historical records
that the German troops which came to
America in the Revolutionary War were
always accompanied by musicians. These
hands however, consisted only of trumpet
ers, filters and drUnmers. They were in
capable Of playing any elaborate harmonized
music and undoubtedly used as marches
the popular airs, the Gassenhauer street
songs and Volkslieder peasant songs),
which were familiar in the ocalities where
the troops were recruited.

No less than others OF their principally
did they share the characterization Of
"blinde Hessen' on account Of their logged
courage in war.
Indeed there is a definite record on the
subject 1t is to be found In Volume ~
OF the Historical Zeitschrift' (Munich,
1879 Friedrich Zapp tells there that the
central recruiting depot for them was in
Ziegenhain, which is situated between the
Schwalm and the Fulda.
This il TIE basis of Mr.. T.ewalter's theory.
The presence among the Hessians who came
to America of a Schwalmer contingent
brings the proposition that they imported
with them one of their national dance tunes
and rooted it in American soil clearly within
the range Of probability.
OF course, there is no dispute as to the
origin in American territory Of the words
of Yankee Doodle" any more than there
is about its reference to the American
patriotic struggle But. SO far as Mr..
Lewaltnr has collected evidence on the sub
ject It was Written neither by an American
nor in the patriotic spirit
On the contrary, it appears to have been
the production OF an English officer and its
intention was to mock the tattered and
i'll disciplined army of the Colonies. This
is apparent from many stanzas of the
version popularity current to-day, which is
undoubtedly the original reading of the
ballad, with perhaps few verbal changes.
This is the version beginning:
Father and went to camp
Along with Captain Goodwin
And there We saw the men and boys.
As thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up.
Yankee Doodle. dandy.
Mind the music and the step.
And with the girls be handy.
Mr.. Lewalter quotes it from Historical
Collections" published by Farmer 4 Moore
in lSoo. The verses are familiar to every
one, and it is only necessary to recall the
snoer at Captain" Washington and his
million men. the gun Just like log Of
maple" or Uncle sam coming to change
vancakes and onions for 'lasses cake, to
grasp the purpose Of throwing ridicule
on the patriot cause,
Mr.. Lewalter gives three other groups
of verses written to be sung to the old air.
From National and Patriotic Songs, ~
published by the Oliver Ditson Company
in Boston, he gives Ave stanza version, Of
which these are the first and last

the Hessian bands played in the American
war marches and songs at that time familiar
to the Hessian people.
But Yankee Doodle he argues, has
nothing of the mere street song about it,
If it had. it would long ago have been for
gotten. The publication of the Schwalmer
dances has given the clue to its origin.
Combined with simplicity, they have
genuine musical ingenuity, bubbling fresh
ness and true spirit OF humor. AS
general thing they re in the same class as
Yankee Doodle" in rhythm and form and
musical type. One dance in particular, to
which Mr. Lewalter has set dialectic words
beginning:
Leng der da die Hoscbenc"s
Sic sanger Is dtrenpc
he recognized as having general re-
semblance to Yankee Doodle" that he
plainly thinks it likely that they are both
variations from the same original.

that when the SchwaImer tunes became
known in America any one wanting We

one of them. perhaps altering it little to
suit his riming. He has learned from
Miss Normand-Smith that the Virginia reel
is often danced to the music of Yankee
Doodle. and he finds in this an instructive
recognition Of the original dance inspiration
in the melody.

Now comes the painstaking and ingenious
Teuton with the discovery that Yankee
Doodle" is an old time German peasant
dance tune and Volkslied and that 1t was
imported into the United States by the
Hessians who came here to fight for King
George in the Revolutionary war
Johann Lewalter is the discoverer, and
he devotes a long article in Hessenldnd, a
magazine Of Hessian history and literature,
published In Cassel. to a statement OF his
theory.
1t is fact worthy of mention" he says,
'that at the kirmess in the Sohwalmer vii
lage Of Wasenberg on Oct. %, 1904, Yankee
Doodle was played without the knowledge
Of the Schwalmer lads and girls and that
the dancers of each sex danced to it e1-
sctlv as if it we're Schwalmer long familiar
70 them"
The importance of this evidence lies in
which has been cultivated for many genera
tons, and is the feature Of the social and
festive life Of the Schwalm region
The Schwalm is little river In Hesse-
Cassel, which runs into the Elder after a
northwesterlv course Of about sixty miles.
The valley Of the Schwalm is known as the
granary Of Hesse
The greater part Of the territory Of the
old Electorate or kurhessen-which was
gobbled by Prussia at the close Of the war
with Austria in ls6s-is mountainous and
sterile. They say Of it in Germany:
I'm Lande ~ Hessen
