SMALLEST KING IN THE WORLD
Monarch of Burmese state-His Pal
ace and Curious Body Guard.

When travelling through the Shan
states, says a writer in the London
Standard, had the honor of being pre-
sented to the smallest king in the
world, the Sawbwa. or Moy'sa, of
Cheun-tung. He stood, as nearly as
| could judge, about four feet nine
inches in his curly Burmese slippers
and was the quintessence of regal
courtesy.
His palace" was a thatched hut on
stilts, close TO the Salween river; he
had several wives, who manifested
great curiosity when they saw their
lord in conversation with a white
man, and his retinue consisted of
some four-and-twenty men armed with
the quaintest collection Of old guns
that ever came out OF curiosity shop.
The little brown king held out
small, plump hand for me to shake.
1t was as soft as a woman's. He bade
me welcome with a smile the most
genial ever saw and begged me to
accept cocoanut. ! knew that 1t was
court etiquette to offer gift in re-
turn, and | was embarrassed to think
that, travelling light as / was, had
worthy of his acceptance. !
suddenly bethought me OF corkscrew
knife bearing the name OF a we'll
known brand of bottled beer which
had been given me as an advertise
ment in Calcutta few months earlier.
This ! presented to him with due
and he accepted it with un-
'eigned delight. All his army pressed
'ound as ] opened the blades, the
,orkscrew and the hoof pick, and the
ieadman beat gong vigorously at
signal from the king, apparently in
oxen OF the royal approval
