THE KING OF SLAM.
How He Gets All the Wives He
Wants TO Make Him Comfort

wants TO MAKE him comfort
able.
San Francisco Examiner
The Chinese do all the mental labor
in Siam. They also keep all the pawn
shops and gambling-houses and teach
the Siamese how to gamble" said
Lieutenant L. n. Rasmussen at the
Grand Pacific yesterday. He is young
Danish officer. who went to Siam SIX
years ago, at the solicitation of the
king, to assist in drilling the royal
troops in European fashion.
1.-The king has not very large army
only 5000 or 1000 men, although the
name of every male subject is on either
the army or naval roll. But they are
never called into service, as the king
cannot stand the expense of feeding
large army. Moreover. it is not needed.
as there are few outbreaks or disturb
anceS.
The kings army is larger than his
family, but the latter is OF pretty fair
size. Nobody dareS to give the exact
figures, but at last accounts he had 100
wives and los children. The present
king is young man about thirty-eight
years old, think, and he is popular.
He is the highest power, owns the entire
country and does about as he pleaseS,
but he is we'll liked. His eldest son is
the crown prince. Just now that youth
is member of the Buddhist priesthood.
All the princes and mobiles have to go
through the priesthood before they are
fully fiedged."
How does the king get all his wives?'
"Ihey are presents to him from the
mobiles. They offer him their daughters.
Of course no one would dare to offer
him one that was not fairly cookbook
ing, and he seldom refuses to accept
them. Should he refuse, the parents
might as we'll move out of Siam. as the
refusal would simply mean that the
| parents were in royal dlsfayor.''
''How do the other people get their
| wives over there?"
ION, buy them. Many Of the mobiles
have numerous wives. If girl strikes
their fancy they negotiate for her pur-
| chase, but not generally until they have
| paid her proper suit. Some of them buy
| their wives from the ranks of the
actresses in the SiameSe theaters.
| Prices vary from $1,000 to $50. 1t costs
more to marry into rich family. Some
| times young couples elope, just as they
| do in other countries. But the groom
| has TO settle just the same. There is
rate fixed for eloDement-400 ticals, Or
| about $40"

When grace was said at the table that
