and told that it housed the "kind of
America" So, in Russian, the wife
argued with her. interpreter, that if
that were the home of the kind. there
was little use of going to Washington
to see the president.
The fear of the husband was aroused
and he, too, for time, promised to be
troublesome. But, after heroic treat
ment of the couples fears on board
the Pennsylvania train, the trip was
made, and the giant shook the presi-
dents hand.
At the Regent the giants wife be-
came almost hystericaL She meant
for her husband to see the king at
once. Why not9 She said that il took
only FIVE minutes to see the emperor of
Germany and just few minutes more
to see the king of England.
So the trip to the whitehouse was
made Immediately. The president was
not there. Next, the presidents Of

retary Root was in conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The giant was ushered into the Of
fee of Mr.. Loeb, where he sat down.
Bur some one showed him a picture
of the president. The giant arose and
refused to sit down again.
After viewing the picture he was not
sure that he was in the president g
Office, because he had not seen soldiers
in gorgeous uniforms and had observed
a lack of ceremony.
He and his wife had contended that
they were being misled. because they
had seen pieces of American money and
had observed that Roosevelt's picture
was not on them.
But when Parson Davies, a little lat
er, placed the giant 3 hand in the pres
ident S and said, 81 take pleasure in

world to the greatest" the giant y
suspense was over.
He was nervous. His hand trembled,
His great knees knocked together. His
abnormal frame shook. He had met the
president of the United States. He was
sure, and he looked satisfied. He had
looked for a man in splendid uniform,
but had met man in summer white.
The president said:
she is the biggest man / ever saw. "
The giant observed:
"When / look az your king / think
look at the emperor of Germany"
Then the meeting was over. President
Roosevelt put his arm around Parson
Davies and dragged him into his pri-
vate office. The giant was ushered out,
whore his wife met him with a smile,
the first she had given him for hours.
In few moments the couple were on

 A close friend of Mir. Rockefeller says it was not the miiiionaire's vanity that prompted the change. but his desire to conceal his identity from an inquisi- tive public.
 Mir. Rockefeller. because of his hair less head and sharp features, used to be easily recognized when travelling about the country This was vividly impressed upon him during trip to San Francisco about year ago. when porter within three minutes after Mir Rockefeller got on the train spread the news that John was aboard.

tkEx RAGING AHEAD
iTre.ta. .nisf.ters Due For BriIi.st s..'ea ' New E.slspd Outlook.

NEW LnSlano VuuOOA.
 . To the horseman the immediate lu- sture has a. very rosy look. The darkest cloud in sight is the limited supply of high grade animals. The demand for all sorts of first class horses has never been so strong as now. Top quality workers, saddlers, roadsters, coachers, racers. are being sought and are bring ing more in the open market than any time in the past, and the breeder who kcan produce marketable horses is sure Eof handsome profits.
 X The harness racing this year promises even greater briiliancy than the turf has ever known. At this distance the crown worn by Lou Dillon seems safe, but the battle for campaigning horses, which for 1905 went to Sadie Me, will be an interesting one. There is every
 likelihood of some sensational pacing miles. and Dan Patch and Audubon Boy will both be in training. The 1:55A behind wind break will not be one of the objects of the New England horse. He will be fitted for crack at that 1 :5S in the open and if he is given the prop 4er chance be will beat it away of.
 Grand old Cresceus is expected to, fur ther reduce the trotting stallion record.
 and tfIeNe are lots of men who think that despite his age he will be able to reel of a mile in even time.
 Glenwood M., 2.O7A. the fastest trot- ting stallion of last year, is looked on as the maker of some sensationally low marks.
 The makeup of the grand circuit is now matter of doubt, but there is no question as to its being as strong as of old. The increased number of fast rec ord horses means that the fields will be larger than ever. Detroit. Buffalo, Poughkeepsie. Reading, Providence, Hartford, Columbus and Cincinnati will be in line. as will Lexington, with its big independent meeting. The stewards may be asked to give Read vile two weeks date. request which should be granted, for ten days stay III DOStOu utAl auSuSt ~Oulu Oc JuSl to the liking of owners and trainers. Cleveland Is still on the doubtful list, and it will be well into spring before its position is known.
 Sauglls and Worcester will follow their usual plan of holding meetings to
 meet the demands of the men racing horses Hartford is counted upon to help out the half mile track circuit with
 an early summer and an October meet ing. In New Hampshire. Dover and Nashua will be in the game. These,
 with the few independent meetings
 and the various fairs, will i'll the New England season from the middle of
 June until Nov. l. From all that can be learned man.
 agers of the circuit tracks are lending
 an ear to the demand for richer purses for the fast record horses In the past
