King Chulalongkorn of Siam Is
going home, but Europe will long re-
member the wide swath he cut there
and the cash he sowed broadcast The
climax was reached in his birthday
celebration in Germany, when he "cut
loose" for three days and cornered the
wine and beer market in search Of an
adequate supply of those beverages,
which were furnished free to all COM
ers. He also spent several millions in
paying hotel bills and buying jewelry,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that the departure of his majesty will
be sincerely mourned by all who
shared in the royal largess. The kings
return is in keeping with his triumph
al progress through Europe. He has
chartered the entire first cabin of the
steamer on which he and his suite are
to take passage for the east.

Had No Use for "Jockey Pants"

John Sharp Williams is extremely
careless about his dress and does not
care about fine clothes on anyone else.
In a recent campaign he offered his
services to the Democratic speakers
bureau and was sent north to help
out a congressional nominee. When
he returned to headquarters and was
piled with questions he said: Don't
you know that fellow came down to
meet me in pair of fashionable rid
ing breeches and started to go around
with me with them on. l just up and
told him that if he wanted to go to
congress he had better take off those
jockey pants. After he left the blamed
things off we got along all right

A 81, 500 DRESS SUIT.
Worn by One Of Our Battleships and
Consists Of Flags.

Few realize the number Of flags car
ried by warship nor the cost OF all
the gay bunting which fiutters from
mast to mast at holiday time. In ad-
dition to fleet communication, neces-
sary during maneuvers In home water,
says Army and Navy Life. the ship
must be equipped with an extensive
array of flags on board for various
forms Of ceremonial and Official occa'
sions.
This dress suit outfit of bunting con.
sists of $50 different flags the materi-
al and making of which cost just
$4,000. Each ship is entitled to a new
flag equipment every three years.
though owing to their constant use
a flagship will often require new set
of signals in about year.
A great deal more time and labor
is required to finish certain of these
fisgs than is generally supposed. The
presidents flag equires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman nearly whole month to COM
plete it, The life-sized eagle with out
stretched wings and other emblems
are all hand-sewed and involve the
most patient work.
The most difficult to make are the
foreign flags. This is especially true
of the South and Central American
ones.
A half dozen specially skilled hand
device sewers are continually kept on
these flags. Every battleship carries
43 foreign flags, % feet by Is wide.
The most expensive ensign to make is
the German, which, owing to the deli
cate scrollwork of the large imperial
eagle and royal crown necessitating
delicate, slow and careful sewing,
costs $3.50.
The dragon flag of China consists of
200 separate pieces. Twelve to IA
days are ordinarily consumed in fin
ishing this flag, which costs S51T5.
The flag of Siam with the huge
white elephant costs $3S. The Next
can with it's center design of a large
eagle holding a serpent on its bill,
costs $3.50. The cheapest foreign flag
made is the Moorish, which costs $21

have resolved fully that the habit
must go, and is prepared TO adopt Sc

Regulations are now in force against
the use Of the drug, and the govern

An imperial edict condemns several
princes and others high In Office for
disregarding the law, and suspends
them from exercising their official
functions. Some leniency Is shown to

with stern front, and 1t remains to
be seen whether it will succeed COM
pletely, says Troy Times. The govern
ment can at least plead great provoca-
ton. The opium habit, which, by the
way, was introduced from elsewhere,
has a powerful hold upon the Chinese
people, and it's effects are most de-
plorable and demoralizing. The better
sentiment of the world will sympathize
with the Peking government in its de-
sire to stamp out the evil.
