The Chicago clubs are intending to do a
vast amount of entertaining during the
fair season, and their rooms will be
thrown open and their knowledge of Chi

the comfort and edification Of cyclists

On the north side the Lincoln Cycling
Club will be the chief objective point for
visiting cyclists, and its nearness to Lin

The Lincolns to a man are specialists on
country roads, and can lead the stranger
accurately over every thoroughfare from
Chicago to Milwaukee. They can also
accommodate the foreigners, who grow
speedy on polished roads by taking them
through ''century'' or two over the Hi
nois ruts.
The Lincolns can offer many pretty
suburban jaunts, such as Evanston, High
land Park, Fort Sheridan and Waukegan.
Or, leaving the aristocratic lake shore,
with its Sheridan's drive, the visitors can
be piloted northwest over the old Mil

house big enough to entertain hand

Other influential West and Northwest
Side clubs are the Cook County Wheel
men, the Minette Corps, the Column

The visiting cyclist, who is DESTROYS of

If dista,Re prove an enchantment, he
will be shown the way to Elmhurst,

Michigan, Grand and Drexel boulevards
will be made veritable bicycle courses for
the riders to and from the fair. Wash

as the fair lasts, for il is the most con-

mecca for south-bound bicycle excursion

that pays a majority of the royal bills.
The people are all the legal slaves of the
king, and work for him part of each
year. The Chinese are the only ones to
escape this labor, and they have to pay a
poll tax. The Chinese control most of the
business interests of Siam, and are rap
idly swallowing up the commerce. They
are smarter than the Siamese by far, and

tier than the Monaghan dames-and set

THE QUEEN AND THE HAREM.
The king has one queen and about
three hundred assistant queens. The
latter are all under rs or 80 years old,

Siam. A place in the great haram is non
a life job by any means. The king has
first call on the youth and beauty OF
Siam, and believes in rotation in office
Hence, the population of Siam is largely
sprinkled with chips of the royal block,
and tiny rivulets of royal blood flow all
over the realm. The queen is half-sister
to the king. Various geneolagists have
tried to figure out the possibilities of this
relationship, but they have one by one
given it up in despair.
The Siamese female costume is simple.
Moreover, it is natural. Some critics
think that it is too natural at times The
woman of the lower ranks wears a saTOng
and Turkish towel. A sarong is sort
of remnant from a bolt of cloth, merely
kind of drape. 1t is not tailor-made. 1t
winds around her waist several times and
quits Then the towel comes in to shield
the shoulders. When there is an emerg-
ency of work or of temperature the towel
is sacrificed. Until a child becomes 8
years old the limit of her millinery is
bit of string tied about the waist. This
encourages economy in the child and saves
laundry bills.
NOT HAPPY IN DRESSES.
In the upper classes the sarong is added
to and embellished until the Edenic effect
Is greatly lessened. Sometimes on great
occasions the assistant queens wear Euro
pean dresses, but they are not happy III
them.
The queen is a plump, pretty woman,
with short hair and black teeth. Inc
latter are the result of the betel-nut
chewing, to which the poor thing IS ao-
dicted She sets the fashion, so all the
quality of Siam have black teeth, she
also smokes cigarettes.
The king talks English, and is anxious
to lace his country with railroads, lie

street car line and an electric lighting
plant in Bangkok The currency OF inc
realm used to be cowrie shells and silver
and gold buttons shipped from state dress
es. The king has inaugurated coinage
system, and is putting out money that
looks like ours.
The kings income is about $40, 100000 a
year, and as he is frugal, in comparison
with his ancestors, he has tucked away
about $4,000, 600 for a royal rainy day
As he is his own secretary of the treasury
he signs all his own checks, and has goou
business head. His cabinet contains four
officers, heads of the departments OF war;

SneeCh Making,

Nashville Banner:
"In order to get everything even,
the journal written up to the minute
and all bills signed by the Governor,
the House last night, a. is always the

For the time the members were
satisfied with singing old.time songs,
and doing battle with psp-r- wards
and pamphlets and such other light
ammunition a. was at hand. Then
various members were called to the
stand to express their feelings at
parting.
Af'er swhile-that is, about mid

He responded to the loud call made
for him, aud took the stand.
