 Palace of Theebaw.
 step only from religion to royal ty. for short drive brings the traveller to the old fort, with it's dry moat and curiously carved gates. Within it's walls is the Palace of Theebaw, the last Burman iing. The various rooms, once so sacred to those of kingly rank, are plaearded now, and the most democratic tourist may thus realize that he is in The Lion Throne Room.' The Kings Audience Chamber" or The Queens Private Apartments" Nothing remains of past splendor save the vacant rooms with their great teak beams. covered with fastdisappearing gold-leaf. the gaudy colored glass dis plays and cloudy mirrors in tarnished frames. One visitor relates that as be was wandering about in one room he heard from another the strains of Home, Sweet Home" executed by g. younS Burman upon an obviously new English mouth-organ. He could not help wondering how much that palace had been a home to it's royal inmates.
 Close at hand is the Kings Watch Tower, a tall cylinder surrounded by winding stair, which leads to a sum- mer house on top. This was built in a month under pain of death. The king had so taxed and oppressed the people that he feared them and dared not go out of his palace grounds. so in order to see what was going on in the city he had the tower built. Today it is still accessible to those travellers who will make the climb "at their own risk" The visit to the palace is not complete without glimpse into the museum in the same grounds. Here are exhibited life-sized effgies of Thee baw and his famous warrior queen, as well as courtiers in their robes of state. Here, too, are the royal palan- quns and countless smaller relics of the court. The feeling of the pathos of past grandeur haunts one as he leaves this place.
 Tug of War for Rain.

For instance, if the rains be late. tug of war, in which men, women and children par tcipate, is not an unusual sight. The people hope in this way to appease the unfriendly spirits that are keeping back the rains.
 For those who are interested in the spread of Christianity among these people, there are numerous mission schools that invite the attention. A drive out to Aungbnle is an afternoon we'll spent. As one hears this hamlet. the attention is arrested by long white bridge. both unique and useful.

His prosecutors are long dead and forgotten, but he lives in the memory and affection of many hun dreds and thousands. while the scene of his trials shares prominence with the kings palace and Buddhas tomb as place worth seeing when one is of to Mandalay."

MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE
Little Woman Must Have seen em- barrassed by Error Which in-

Officer O'Connor's attention was first attracted to a trim little woman near his corner a day or two ago. when she ran boldly across the safety zone markers and tucked in front of an approaching street car. OConnor, who is a traffic policeman. makes it a point to seo that the safety zone markers are dead lines, and be start ed toward the woman. It was his con clusion she needed special instruc- tion in afety cones.
 He reached her in time to see her take firm hold on the coattails of a figure turned away from her.

 John Peters. President Feggis' sec retary. and Nancy Graham. his stenog rapher. had practically the run of the office during the presidents absence. The inqusition had narrowed itself down to them. Nobody else could pos sibly have been guilty. Peters had en- tered the presidents employ in his present capacity five years before Miss Graham seven. She had worked up to her present position at thirty dol lars a week. and there existed some feeling against her. not only on the part of the girls who were now her subordinates. but among Bramwell and Lewis. who resented the fact that she and Peters occupied practically independent position during the presi- dents absence
 In spite of the heads precautions the story of the theft leaked out. h. sensibly the suspicion of the office force was directed toward the occu- pants of the mahogany-furnished room where Peters and Nancy worked to- gether. And insensibly Nancy felt that chilling suspicion enter her own heart
 There was, in reality little room for private talk between them. even if they had been so minded. The presi- dents office, fitted with transparent windows that looked out directly upon the general office, allowed both occu- pants to be seen at all times Often Nancy would look up from her work to see dozen pairs of eyes watching her

with evident surprise;
 "Is Mandalay really place? thought it was just in a song!"
 Mandalay is not only a real city but an extremely interesting one, which no tourist to Oriental lands can afford to miss It is the bulwark of Buddhism in Burma, and the most truly Burman city that can be found.
 A lively American sight-seer can "do' Mandalay in two or three days, but more time could well be employed. A pleasant trip for the first afternoon is one to the Arakan Pagoda, in a suburb called ShanZu. Mandalay deals in superlatives. and in this pagoda is figure said to be the largest brass image in the world. Except for the face, it is completely covered with gold leaf. Among other curios are queer armed figures and three-headed elephants in steel These were brought from Arakan at the time of the British occupation, and after a rather varied history finally found a resting place here. In recent years this pagoda has acquired much fame as the temporary repository of the re- puted remains of Buddha.
 "Mandalay hill" is mornings ex. cursion and requires an early start. This ascent of over 800 feet is made up of a series of steps fianked with shrines. At the top lives an especial ly holy monk, who supervised the construction of the huge building re gently erected to afford a permanent mausoleum for the remains of Buddha. Naturally this spot is held in high rev erenee by the Buddhist community The temple which crowns the hill con. tains big gold-leaf-covered wooden image, standing with outstretched hand. forefinger pointing towards the door It has been facetiously suggest ed that the gesture means, You go." for while this image was in process of construction there was current prophecy to the effect that once it saw completion the British would leave Mandalay and the old line of Burman kings would be restored.
