Some of which Smack just n Little Bit
of the Truth.
A girl was visiting in town who has
a diess trimmed with four miles OF
lace, and her hostess is thinking of Civ
ing a reception for it.
A woman who knows how easily the
men can be fooled tells everyone who
kisses her that it is the first time she
was ever kissed by man.
1t occurs to man with some wonder
that his wife never got up as much
enthusiasm over him when she was a
bride as she gets up over tho new little
red baby.
When woman doesn't know of
anything else nice to say about another
woman she says she has such 'cute
little ways"
Every unhappy woman takes pleasure
in thinking of the time when he will
come back, and it will be too late.
A good many girls have the notion
that some day they may be compelled
to sell their hair and pay of the mort
gage on the family homestead. as the
story books relate. An AtchisOn girl
who had very beautiful hair became
very poor and agreed to sell it for 49,

War Museum.

1t is worth trip to Portland to see
the war museum at the exposition
there. Captain f. S. Edwards took
his coat right off and went to work,
and has gotten together the largest col
lection of war weapons ever seen in the
Northwest. Most of them were cap
tured in the Philippines by the Ore
gon volunteers. The museum is the
carrying out of an idea suggested and
followed up by Dan McAllen, one OF
Portland's most enterprising business
men, and it is all for the benefit of the
monument fund.

There is nothing remarkable about
the grand success that attends the Ore
gon Industrial Exposition at Portland,
for it is backed up by the enterprising
business men OF Portland, who spare
no expense to make the great fair a
splendid success. The men who
conduct it are: II. G. Breeder, presi-
dent; l. n. Fleischner, vice-president;

where he can see the fishes disport

ing sights Of the watery depths.
This interesting potentate Of the
glass submarine palace is the King Of
Siam. He has very long name. fifty
seven letters in ALL but for short he is
called Chulalongkorn.
The glass palace of the king is 90
feet square and 10 feet In height. With
the exception of the floor ii Is entire
ly Of heavy plate glass closely fitted
into steel frames. The floor Is of
wood and steel, and directly under 1t
is a second or false floor, into which
are stored weights of stone. When
floating all these weights are removed,
but when his majesty desires n cool
ing. tons of them are rolled in and the
room slowly and silently sinks until
It rests upon the bottom. 1t Is then
at a depth Of about twenty feet. and
SO arranged that an abundant supply
of air Is obtained from numerous tubes
leading to the surface. BY means Of
other tubes he Is enabled to hold con-
VIII III tut ION par
ace on shore. and also to transact state
business. The furnishings of this sub
marine castle are as lavish as those
Of the imperial palace.
This fastidious potentate Of Siam Is
young man. but despite his age he
has 600 wives. Notwithstanding this
large assortment, however, he Is SO
sacred and mighty that he must marry
nobody beneath him in rank. and his
only equals being members OF his own
family. his official wife must, therefore,
be his half-sister. She rules the harem.
In looking at this semi-heathen king
II Is hard TO believe that he is the sa-
cred ruler over 100000 people, and
still harder to appreciate his absolute
power. The whole people are his
slaves. and his simple word lnflicts in
slant death on any man. or robs him Of
his property or family. He has the
right to call his subjects into his SER
vice without pay at any and all times,
and every man in Siam Is forced to
give him part of his services during a
part of each year.
Although Siam has no national debt,
he taxes the people as he pleases. and
so heavy are these taxes that men are
often forced to sell their wives and
children. BY this means the Kings
vaults are filed with treasure, and his
| yearly income is S10.OOO,0OO. This he
squanders in enrlching his personal
surroundings.

MAY AVOID A STRIKE.
Though Alabama Miners and Operators
Have Not Yet Agreed.

birmingham. Ala. June 2:.-The coat
miners OF the Birmingham district who
have been in sessions here since Monday
trying to come to some agreement with
the operators on the scale OF wages TO
be paid during the coming gear nave
thus far failed in their attempts and
tomorrow will adjourn until next Tues
day in order to refer the question back
to the miners themselves. They will
vote on the question Monday and give
their delegates further instructions rs
to what they shall do when the con
yention rcassembles.
Representatives OF the mining COM
ranies attended the convention today and
announced they could not pay the scale
asked for. This scale provided for
minimum price of 4J cents when pis
iron was selling for S760, whom iron
gees above that price the wages were
TO be kept on sliding scale.
The Sloss Iron and Steel Company
gave its answer today that they cou'1
not confer with the convention rs their
miners had never instructed the com
rany whether the convention was au-
thorlZed to make Il contract fo" IL era or
not. The Tennessee Iron Company has
offered to renew the present contract fer

trict Of Mine Workers, said today that
after the miners had voted again on
the question he thought the convention
could come to an agreement with the
