ARRIVAL OF A COMIC OPERA COURT IN PARIS
King sisowath
Loaded
rom the Iond Express

him at Port Said. 1 hope the trip to
Europe is not teaching King Sisowath
duplicity.
1 obtained his majesty's permission
to visit his twenty wives, his sister,
Princess Sampredi, and sixty-niue
sacred dancers, who had remained on
board ship until the afternoon.
Guardians Of the Harem
I found them in charge of four
eunuchs and four women guardians Of
the harem, all eight of whom are quite
as hldeous as fancy possibly can paint
them, but, though their favorite per-
fume is castoroil. the ladies are charm
ing, except Princess Sampredi, who
she Is the kings eldest sister, and he
is 64-is a Katisha of 3S, which is old
for a Cambodian lady.
Like Katisha, she has n saving sense
of humor and n shocking temper. She
is very like the king, but has black
lacquered teeth, and is one mass Of
jewels from head to foot.
Her highnesS was pleased to be
gracious She showed me the jewels
which she had brought in a big iron
box and told me that she wondered
how Frenchwomen could dress so
much. ut is beautiful" she said, but
cannot be comfortable"
Her own costume is n cheap ready
made dressing Jacket, with imitation
lace-worn only for state ceremonial
for, as rule, she wears nothing above
the waist--men's boots, and the in
evitable sampot.
The other princesses-S -Sisowath has
left 300 hundred of his wives at home
and believes I'm 500 as a maximum, his
sister told me-and the dancers are
dainty little yellow ladies with the
most graceful carriage imaginable.
Fortune in Jewels
Between them the princesses
carry an immense fortune i'm jewelry,
of which they are inordinately fond.
One of the kings present favorites
could hardly move for bracelets, ank-
let's, chains. rings, all of pure gold,
and all studded with jewels, and she
showed me a cane of massive gold and
of beautiful workmanship.
All through our conversation, SER
wants came up and, crouching, Offered
betel boxes or gold spittoons.
All the plates and cups used by these
ladies are of gold. and / can under
stand why King Sisowath is occasion
ally short of ready cash; none of them
understand what money means at all.
All Marseilles is agog to see and
hear the priestesses dance and sing.
The officers on board the Amiral Ker-
saint tell me that chants and dances
which Illustrate the sacred history of
Cambodia are very beautiful. Princess
Sampredi does not dance herself, but
is the Katti Lanner of Cambodia
The first performance will be given
at the prefecture, probably tomorrow,
and the second at the colonial exhibit
tion here on Wednesday, The dancers
will not go to Paris with the king, but
his wives and his sister will accom-
pany him.

What He Didn't See

what ne Diont see
The GAekwar of Baroda was here to see
the sights;
We entertained him largely, by day and
eke o. nights
But tho we took him up and down, and
showed with greatest glee
There are some sights in this, our town
that he will never see!
We will not show our garbage plant, that
doesn't operate;
We will not show our owl-less cars, that
do not run till late;
Well never put him next to our big
sewer-the outfall,
That isn't done, and won't be soon, and
maybe not at all!
We won't point out our unswept streets,
where dust clouds blind the view;
We will. not show the unlit lamps on
Main and Hill streets. too;
Wen pass around the gaping holes in as
phalt, here and there;
And when it comes to boulevards, we'll
wear distraught air!
We showed him all our councilmen, of
course but we won't say
A word about the S. p collar that they
wear, so gay;
Our mighty mayor we offered him, with
much eclat and noise
Like that about a boiler fact'ry--hush,
how that annoys!
We will not pride ourselves upon our
miles of ugly poles
That blight our streets; we'll hardy point
to oil wells and sump-holes.
We escorted the potentate about with
greatest glee,
But what lot of things our friend the
Gaekwar did not see

All were in European dress of sorts

Precious Hat

It was Norodom's hat. and should
have been burned with King Franks
brother and predecessor on the throne
of Cambodia, but one of Norodom's S
thousand wives, who was to have been
set at liberty after the death of the
old king, offered to give up her free
dom If the hat which Norodom had
loved and worn for forty years were
kept. So Sisowath has kept it, and It
is to his honor that he set the lady free
as well.
He always wears it on official occa-
sions. 1t Is rusty and greasy, mis-
shapen and soft in the brim, and it cam
not have been a smart hat when new.
But King Sisowath wears diamond
knob the size of small bellpul fast
ened into the top of the crown and
an enormous diamond sun as cockade
at the side,
Cockade and bellpull together are
worth, l am told, fully 100000

Chancellor Heads
Winning Ticket

THE COMMITTEE appointed by
the Republican state convention
to fill vacancies on the ticket had
an important and somewhat un-
expected task to perform. P. B.
Stewart the conventions choice
for governor withdrew. Stewart
is a clean man and would have
run well. After considering a
score or more prominent party
leaders, the committee selected
Chancellor H. A. Buchtel, of
Denver university, who was
an active worker in Denver during
the law and order campaign two
years ago. While the selection
is surprise, all Republicans will
agree that the choice is an ex-
celient one and that he will make
a clean, lively, winning race, for
"the Chancellor" is favorably
known all over the state.

THREE Republican conventions
were held in Trinidad Monday
afternoon, the judicial, the float
senatorial and float representa-
tive. The nominations were un-
anirnous in each convention.
Judge Henry Hunter was named
to succeed himself as was also
Senator Frank R. Wood of Trini-
dad. A. Newton Parrish of La
mar was nominated for represen-
tative for the district comprising
Baca, Prowers, and Las Animas
counties. Mr.. Parrish is well
known as vice-president of the
First National Bank of Lamar.
He is wheel-horse in Republi-
can politics as well as in all mat
tiers concerning Prowers county's
welfare. He has been one of
the most energetic members of
the State Board of Stock Inspec-
ton for four years. He would
be valuable second to Senator
Wood in the general assembly.
1t is not generally known that
Mr.. Parrish has quietly said a
few words at an opportune mo-
ment which have prevented the
loss of thousands of dollars to
the stock growers of this county
and money to the people in gen.
eral. If sent to the legislature
he will be equally valuable. The
nominees for senator and district
judge have given the best of sat-
isfaction and will make winning
races. The senatorial district is
composed of Baca, Prowers, Bent
and Las Animas counties.
