sychosis of eighty thousand chang
es, concluded as varied experience
es as this white elephant, and
thence was received into the COM
pany of the celestial deities. Hence
the veneration of the Siamese for
the "Chang Phoonk" or the sa-
cred white elephant. When such
dignitary makes his appearance in
the forest there is great rejoicing
and no effort is spared to capture
him. The king is considered most
fortunate who possesses one or
more of these sacred animals. The
present king possesses seven, hence
the present prosperous condition of
the country.
YELLOW, NOT WHITE.
The so-called white Explanation
the color is really a bathbrick or
Neapolitan yellow-is usually found
inethe northern province, and the
governor of the province sees that
he is comfortably escorted, by the
cutting of a wide path through the
iungles to the river. There a great
floating palace of wood, ornamented
with a gorgeous roof and hung
with crimson curtains, awaits him.
The roof is literally matched with
flowers and the floor covered with
gilt matting.

in their elegant barges. multitudes
of priests, both Buddhist and Brah-
min, with banners flying and with
music, 60 up the river. a two days
journey to meet him. When he
arrives in the city he is welcomed
with imposing ceremony by the
members of the royal family.
A festival of a week is proclaimed
and a thanksgiving is offered up.
The lordly beast is knighted by
pouring water on his forehead from
"a conch shell and a title and name
are given him after which he is
conducted with great pomp and
ceremony to his own sumptuous
apartment, within the precincts of
the kings palace, where his own
court officers and slaves await to
robe and decorate him. First, he
is placed on a handsomely built
pedestal about a foot from the floor
and is fastened by one hind and
one fore foot to gilded posts with
ropes covered with crimson velvet.
The court ieweler rings his tremen-.
dous tusk with massive gold,
crowns him with a diadem of beat
en- gold and places heavy gold
chains around his neck. He is
then robed in a superb purple cloak
of velvet. fringed with scarlet and,
gold. When he bathes an officer
of high rank shelters his noble
head with a great umbrella of GRIM
son and gold, while others wave
golden fans before him: His food
consists of the finest herbs, the ten
derest grasses, the sweetest sugar
cane and the mellowest bananas
and other dainties, which are
handed to him on gold and silver
saIves by his attendants on their
knees. His drink is perfumed with
fragrant flowers When i'll he is
attended by the most skilled of the
court physicians and the chief
priests pray .iaily for his recovery.
If he dies there is universal mourn
ing, the king trembles on his
throne and the highest funeral
honors are paid to his corpse.

One would hardly think that the
Daily Times of this city would plagiar-
ize the columns of the Seattle Rapub-
lican, only weekly contemporary, for
editorial material, and yet it did it.
Some three weeks ago there appeared
in the columns of this paper an arti-
Gle on the Smith family of this country
and last Friday, December 10, that self
same article verbatim ct literatum ap-
peared in the columns of the Times
and without giving credit to any one
for it. It's all right for the Times to
swipe editorials from Eastern papers
without giving credit, but when it
swipes from local weekly papers it
should give due credit for the same
even though the weekly paper is not
of the stripe that pleases a reversible
Democratic editor.

TO go east, or send for friends or rela-
t1ves to come West, the choice of
routes is question that always both
ers him. He wants to know if the
same route he used once, some time
ago, makes the same time, same con-
nections, if the price is the same, if
it costs the same to go East as it
did to come West. Possibly he has
heard or read of famous points of in
terest in the West or Middle West
that he overlooked on the trip he
made. Did not see them because he
had not time; did not know he could
for the same money; did not know he
could get stopover There are hun
dreds of questions he would have
asked, many things he would like to
have seen and many accommodations
he could have enjoyed, only, he did
not have to look into the subject. and
it was too much bother anyway.
