amese custom he went into noviti-
ate for the priesthood for two days.
In 1873 he was again crowned, and
here, seated upon his magnificent
throne, he released his courtiers from
the time-honored custom of appearing
in their sovereign's presence on hands
and knees. This was the beginning of
his doing away with many rigid and
ridiculous court rules. Formerly the
king was regarded as "A sort of semi
divine being. He dressed as no one
else did and he used words which no
one else was allowed to utter. King
Chualongkorn attires himself in or
dinary dress and knows how to make
himself generally agreeable. He is
unusually studious and progressive,
and has during his reign introduced a
privy council, cabinet, and legisla-
tive council. There is noticeable lack
of dogmatism in all his decisions.
To insure the greatest degree of
welfare for his people the king is con-
tinually sending his officials on inves-
tigating excursions, and if in the
course of their travels they find any
hints which may be of advantage to
Siam, he heartily cooperates in any
feasible project. Not only is he edu-
eating his sons abroad, but he is main
tanning 80 other young men who are
studying some one of the professions.
He hims elf is an extensive traveller.
Siam, on account Of its central posi-
tion in relation to neighboring states,
its influence over them and its main
tenance of its own native government,
has been called the Heart of Further
India" 1t invites foreign trade and
would undoubtedly prove good mar
ket for any American who might be en-
terprising enough to attempt fur
therance of commercial intercourse.

Gen. Bernardo Reyes, Secretary Of
War of the Republic.
should President Dinz Decline n Re-
election He would lie Chosen
chief Executive Almost
Unanimously.

In two years the term of Porfrio
piaz as president will expire, and it is
given out as an absolute certainty that
he will then leave public life. Diaz
IL now past 20 years of age.
This announcement leads to the
question: Who will succeed Diaz?
There are numerous politicians who
are eager to enter the race for the
nomination. But the man who occu-
pies the presidential chair will have
TO be II protege of the Dia2 party,
which is powerful organization OF
reformers. The party has held alb
solute sway in Mexico since 1876, when
Diaz squelched the last serious rebel
lion.
The knowing politicians have al
ready picked out the man whom they
say Diaz will support. He is Gen.
Bernardo Reyes, the present secretary
of war. In almost every respect Reyes
is second Diaz. lie is self-made
man. He has shown himself TO be
dauntless in battle. He never forgives
an enemy aud never goes back on a
friend. Reyes is strongly opposed to
gambling in any form, or drinking. SO
is Diaz. Between them they have sue
ceeded in checking, to a large extent,
the gambling and drinking in the
Mexican army.
Reyes has devoted his life to the
interests of his country. Before he
was 16 years old he ran away from
home to fight the French when they
invaded Mexico. He took part in all
the succeeding struggles and was
promoted to his present rank for
bravery on the field.
Reyes is more popular in the state
of Nuevo Leon than in any other part
of Mexico. He has spent most of his
life here and has helped this state in
many ways. Reyes was born in Guada-

lajara, in the state of Jalisco, on Au-
scendants of a distinguished Spanish
family that settled in Jalisco during
the eighteenth century.
When he was seven years old Ber-
nardo was sent to one of the public
schools in the city, and after he had
acquired a knowledge of arithmetic,
reading and writing he entered high
er institution of learning. AS
scholar young Reyes was quiet, per-
formed his work diligently and rose
rapidly. Although sturdy lad, he
never mixed up in the quarrels among
his associates, and owing to this they
soon began to look upon him as
coward
One day a lad who had vanquished
the best fighters in the school and,
elated over his success, was seeking
more trouble, approached young
Reyes.
"You act so old and mannish that
/ would like to whip YOU" said the
bully. Reyes wheeled about and faced
him, but did not reply.
II think the first thing will do will
be to kick you, and then, if you want
to fight, We'll have it out, but | don't
believe you've got any fight in you"
he continued. Young Reyes didn't
wait to be kicked. He first smashed
the bully in the face, knocking him
down; then he jumped upon him and
began punching until he yelled for
mercy.
The same policy has always been
pursued by Reyes the man. If any
one tries to assail his methods he
strikes back quick and hard.
Gen. Reyes gained his great popu-
larity in the state of Nuevo Leon in
an odd way. In 1885 revolution
over local elections broke out in the
state and Diaz called upon him to stop
the trouble. Reyes hastened to Mon
terey, silenced the disturbers within
few days, and then reported to
Diaz. The president of the republic
was SO pleased over this that he APP
pointed the general military governor
OF the state, a position he held until
1895.
During this time the people of Nuevo
Leon had become so attached to Reyes
that delegation of prominent men
begged him to run for office. He was
made citizen of the state and was
elected governor by an overwhelming
majority. He held this office until two
years ago, when he was appointed Sec
retary OF war.

The Drinking Cup Must go.

Drinking cups were tabooed by the
Board of Education recently, says the
Chicago Zribnne, and the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds was in
stIucted to submit to the board plan
for establishing drinking fountains in
the schools where the children may
drink without "placing their lips to
any vessel" at such time as the water
supply is turned on again. The reso-
luton which is expected to sound
the knell of the rusty and possibly in
fected tin cups which are chained to
the spigots in every public school in
the city was introduced by Trustee
kufewski. The resolution read as
follows:
WHEREAS, The use OF drinking
cups at fountains and public drinking
places where persons suffering from
infectious diseases, such as iuberculo-
Sis, diptheria, follicuIar tonslltis and
other dangerous diseases, drink in
common with the general public, by
placing the lips to the vessel, is recog-
nized as means of disseminating
disease and menace to the general
public health; therefore, be it
ReS0i0ed, That the Committee on
Buildings and Grounds be and is
hereby instructed TO prepare and sub.
NIT to this board plan for a drink
ing fountain TO be used at all the
public schools that viii provide a
method of taking water without plac.
ing the lips to any vessel. Such
plan to include constant stream Of
water in such quantities as will assure
a sufficient amount for drinking and
cleaning purposes.
| Mr.. Kuflewski recommended that
the children be required to resort to
the crude methods of drinking in use
by the day laborers, by placing the
mouth to the running stream.
alt is imperative that something be
done," he urged, "as it is certain that
much disease is spread through the
agency of the drinking cup"

was suggested to the continental con-
gress by the provincial assembly of
New York, and on the 9th of October,
1775, the former directed the latter to
proceed to make such Notifications as
it should deem best. In pursuance of
these directions, says the Four-Track
News, a number of forts were erected
at various points. In March following,
1t was determined to erect a strong
fort at West Point, and under direc-
ton of Kosciusko, the famous Pole,
Fort Clinton was built To further
defend Fort Clinton and command the
river, a strong fort was erected on
Mount independence and called Fort
Putnam in honor of Gen. Israel Put
nam, commander of the post. After
the revolution the old fort was al
most destroyed by people in the
neighborhood using the material for
building purposes, but in 1924, the gov
ernment bought the land on which it
stood, and the picturesque ruins of the
old fort remain to this day, as one of
