HOME OF SLAMS ROYAL FAMILY
City IN Which No Man But the King
May Enter.

Perhaps the queerest city in the
world is that OF Nang Harm, the house
of the royal family of Siam. This
citys popularity lies in the fact that
it is composed of women and children
alone. 1t is in the center of Bangkok,
has high walls around it, and in its
population of 5000 there is not a sin
gle man. though the king occasionally
pays visit. The name Nang Harm
means yelled women" There are
shops. markets, temples, theatres,
streets and avenues, parks, lakes,
trees and flower gardens; hall of
justice, judges, executioner, police,
generals and soldiers; all the posi-
lions, official and otherwise, being
filled by women. The only man in all
Siam who can enter this city is the
king. 1t is the home of his family
and of the family of the king before
him. The ruler of Siam may have as
many wives as he pleases. Each wife
has her own children and slaves
therefore a small city is needed to
provide accommodation for them all.

WHEN IRVINE WAS
TURNED DOWN.

Bran Stoker, who for many years
was connected with the management
of the late Sir Henry Irvine, tells of
an amusing incident which occurred
during the players tour of the Middle
West.
1t appears that Irvine, in order to
break "long jump" from Chicago to
another city, was DESTROYS of securing
for one night the theatre of a town in
Indiana. Accordingly Stoker wired
the individual who was both proprte-
tor and manager of the playhouse in
question, requesting that Sir Henry be
given a nights engagement.
In short while Mr.. Stoker receiv-
ed the following: Does Irving pa
rade?" When shown this. the distin-
guished Briton was much amused. He
directed Stoker to reply that Irving
was tragedian, not a minstrel"
The further reply came. Don't want
Irving unles he parades."

A VERY DEcEIVINe ANIMAL.


Bobbie, who has very vivid i'm
agination, came running into the
house one day, crying:
''Oh, mamma, come quick; there's
great big black lion out In the
yard"
..No, Bobbie," said his mother
there isn't any lion out in the yard
That is only a dog" But the little
fellow continued to insist that It was
great big lion.
Finally the mother, who was some
what worried over the boys habit of
exaggerating, said: Nov, Bobbie,
that is not lion and you know It, so
you must go up stairs at once and ask
God TO forgive you for telling lie
When Bobbfe came down stairs a
little later his mother asked him If he
had asked God to forgive him for cay.
ing there was lion in the yard:
whereupon Bobbie replied:
yes, and God said when he first
saw 1t he thought it was a lion, too"
