Romance of siam,s Great Peaks. .

Romance of Slams Great Peaks. -
Slams greatest mountain range is
the Sam Roi Yawt, or the 800 peaks
A quaint legend which explains their
origin is set forth by the Siamese geol-
ogists as follows:
"It appears that one Mong Lai and
his wife once inhabited the neighbor-
hood (they were giants), and each
promised their daughter in marriage
unknown to the other, to a differen,
suitor. AT last the day of the nuptials
arrived, and Chao Lai and the Lord of
Mleang Chin {rhina) both arrived to
claim the bride. When the Mortified ia
ther found how matters stood-having
regard for the value of promise,
which is not too common in the east
he cut his daugher in half so that nei-
ther suitor should be disappointed.
"Chao Lai in the meantime. on find-
ing that he had rival, committed sui
eide, and the peak of Chao Lai is the
remains of his body. The unfortunate
bride is to be found in the islands off
Sam Roi Yawt the peaks of which are
the remains cf the gifts which were to
be made to the holy man who was to
solemnize the wedding, while Kaw
Chang and Kaw King, on the east side
of the gulf, are the elephant and buffalo
cart in which the presents were
brought, -

PLANT OF A MILLIONAIRE.
No Fun In Life For a Man Who Has

No Fun In Life For a Man Who Has
Acquired Enormous Wealth.
What is the smallest income on which
man may live in New York? was the
question I asked today of noted bank
er, whose income cannot be less than
100000 year. "Well,' y he replied,
''my household expenses alone amount
to $25, 600 year, and do not see how
l possibly could live on less than that.
Then reminiscent smile began to cross
his countenance and, heaving a little
sigh, he said: "But the happiest time
of my life was when my wife and and
two children lived here on $4,000 a
year. After all. happiness doesn't de-
pend on the amount of man s income.

H. Vanderbilt when he was considered
the richest man in the country. I met
him one day in Fifth avenue and said
to him that he ought to be the happiest

millionaire replied. My health is shat
tered, and all the money possess can
not restore it. l cannot even drive cne
of my fine horses. 1t is painful for me
to sit down. Ny only possible exercise
is for me to walk down the avenue. I.

my nerves are so unstrung that / am

The rainy seasonis just about be-
ginning in earnest in the Philip
pine Islands. The dry season at
Manila extends from December to
and including April. During those
five month the total rainfall rarely
exceeds five or six inches. May and
November may be said to constitute
the intermediate season, with an
average rainfall of four and half
inches each. The rainy season prop
er begins with June and extends to
Oclober, and during that time an
average of sixty-one inches of rain
falls. This equals the fall in New
Orleans for twelve months, and is
twice the fall in Detroit, Michigan,
in the same period of time.
1t the ordinary average is kept up
the rain will fall every other day
throughout the months of Tune,
July and August. September will
average more than two days with
rain to one without.
While the figures quoted are those
taken as an average of seventeen
years observations at Manila, an
examination of the records for those
years will show some remarkable
departures. For example, in one
year as much as one hundred and
twenty inches of rain has fallen; in
another as little as little as thirty
five and siXty-tive hundreths. Still
more remarkable was the fall of
sixty-one and forty-three hundreths
inches in one September, and that
OF only two inches in another Sep
tember. Thus it is scarcely safe to
venture prediction as to the amount
OF rainfall and the probable i;nped-
iment it will offer to prosecution
of the campaign during the present
season. Regarding the tempera-
ture, however, we know something
more definite.
The lowest temperature ever ex-
perience at Manila was sixty degrees
The average tenpera ture for Janu-
ary is seventy degrees, while that at
Manila throughout the whole year
is eighty degrees. The mean month
ly temperature for the month of
May is eighty-four degrees, while
for the warmest May in seventeen
years the mean temperature reach
ed eighty degrees. Again,
the average temperature, day and
night, for the coldest month ever
experienced in the islands was only
seventy four degrees, thus making
a difference of only thirteen degrees.
Contrast this with the weather at
Washington where the average,
taken in same manner, for the cold
est and hottest months of the year,
was twenty-five and elghty-one de-
greses, respectively, giving a range
OF tifty-degrees. On the whole, how
ever, our men may be said to stand
the climate of these tropical islands
with much less loss of life than
might have been anticipated.
The Government has decided that
there shall be no more burial of our
soldier boys at sea, those who die
on the transports while on their
homeward voyage, the boats being
provided with metallic coffins. This
IS in answer to the mothers prayer,
Oh, bury them not'in the deep,
blue sea."eO1nal1a Bee.

Mrs. Aaron Decker was more Sc
verely injured in the late storm than
was at first supposed. She is quite
badly bruised, over the entire body,
and suffers great deal from the
nervous shock.
The trephining operation was per-
formed upon John Herr by Doctors
Howe, of Greenfield; McDermid, of
Fontanelle, and Adams, of Berea.
The operation consists simply of
raising the crushed skull from its
pressure upon the brain. During
Saturday night he regained con
sciousness, for the first time in over
three days, and asked for drink of
milk. His condition is all that could
be expected, considering his terri
bic experience, and some hopes are
entertained for his recovery, though
there are many chances for relapse.
The younger brother is getting
along nicely.
Mother nature has almost obllter-
ated the path of the cyclone. The
fields of grain and meadows over
which it passed are assuming their
former greenness, yet boards, fence
posts and other litter are scattered
here and there, and the groans of
the injured can still be heard.-The

Last week, Saturday, the heirs of
the late Sarah NJ Ballard withdrew
their objections to the will and it
was admitted to probate. This ter
mlnat1on of what promised to be
long drawn-out litigation among
the heirs was accomplished Though
compromise settlement, the stip-
ulatlons (which have been filed in
the District Court. By order of the
Court there will be distributed to
seventeen of the estate $2S,GOO.0O of
the assets. There is now on hand
about $4,000 more than this
amount, but this will be held to pro-
vide for the possible shares of two
other heirs whose right to any of
the property is disputed, and to
meet the expenses of the admins
traitor
These two heirs, tits alleged, have
violated that clause of the will which
provides that NO portion of the es-
tate shall so to any heir who has
realized or attempted to realize on
his or her expectancy. In one in
stance the claimant is the assignee
OF the heir, and if the will is sus-
tained by the Court he will be cut
off without the share he has sought
to purchase.
Fhere is still another feature of
the estate open for settlement in

gift by trust deed from Mrs. Ballard

An exchange hits the nail a jolt
on the head and, literally speaking,
drives it home in the following brief
remark: Men are just like hogs,
no matter how distastesul this may
sound to the hogs. When one hog
gets an ear of corn every other will
trot along behind him and suueal,
and whine and beg and toady for a
bite; but just let the front hog get
in a tight place, With his head fast
i'll crack, and every burned on in
the bunch Will u1ap onto him and
tear him te pieces. Just so with
men; As long as man is prosper
Gus and has money, he can't keep
his friends off With base ball bat.
But the moment he is unfortunate,
and his wealth IS gone, he is not
only snubbed by alleged friends
but they at once begin to do him
all the dirt they can. When he
starts to go down grade the world
steps to one side and greases the
track"
