SIAMlESE KINGS BANQUET

From the Commonwealth Idea
 TIT was just 20 years ago that his late
 II majesty, Somdet Phra Parmendr
 Maha Chulalongkorm, gave & dinner -the first and only one of it's kind-to few of his favorite wives, s4 in number.
 His majesty's father, King Mongkut, dined every day seated alone and waited upon by 100 kneeling wives. The Queen, also kneeling, tasted each dish before presenting it to her lord. King Chula- longkorn, inaugurating new era, had his wives SC tied about his royal table as guests and equals. The walters and 'bus-boys were princes of the blood royal.
 The service was magnificent-the plates of solid gold were worth a Kings ran- som. The knives, forks and spoons were fashioned after queer old Siamese types of ornamentation found in the ancient capital of Ayuthia. The glass was en- graved with his majesty's monogram, in- laid with gold. The menu cards were of the thinnest of rice paper with sold gold lettering. On the table stood bouquets six feet in height, made of hothouse flowers, enlarged by hand to unusual size. For example, the roses were six inches in diameter. Thousands of flowers were gathered, the petals pulled apart and

 The allies have made comprehensive statement ot what they They overlooked no detail that might have ing the situation Europe and have carefully planned for the future Even Germany accept these terms the task of formulating agreement and carrying out its require ments would be enormous.
 For instance the clause the reorganization of Europe is sweeping in character that it almost staggers the magna

LAMB LED UNHAPPY LIFE

From the Pittsburg Post.
 NHARLES LAMB, the famous Eng
 N fish essayist had his early life
 crowded full of sadness, and even
 a stouter physique than was his would no
 doubt have broken under the burden.
 When he was only 20 years of age he re- sided with his parents and sister in a
 lodging house of Holborn. The father,
 at the time. was sinking into dotage and
 the mother suffered under an infirmity that deprived her of the use of her limbs. Charles Lambs salary was but small it
 was at this time that he began his liter ary career. He would no doubt have pro-
 gressed rapidly but for 8 tendency to in-
 sanity in his family. This had more than
 once developed in his sister, who was the housekeeper, and consequently it is no
 matter of surprise that in the dreariness of solitude. amid such surroundings, that
 the same affliction should fall upon him,
 and he himself began to lose his reason. In the early autumn of 1796 came the great tragedy in the life of Lamb. The young man was engaged one day at his (task work at the India house, and spent Fall the evening in an attempt to amuse his father by playing cribbage. Mary Lamb, the sister, worn down by the at tention to needlework during the day to help support the family, and to her mother at night, was finally overtaken by insanity, which broke out into frenzy on September 2s, 1796 and while pursuing la little apprentice girl with a knife she finally stabbed her mother. who inter- posed in the girls behalf.
 The wound was instantly fatal, Charles being only at hand in time to wrest the knife from his sister and prevent further mischief. Mary Lamb would have been, in the ordinary course, transferred to a lunatic asylum, but interest was made with the authorities and she was given into the custody of her brother who un- dertook to be her guardian, an office which be assumed under the gravest diff faculties and discouragements during the remainder of his life.
 In later years this tragedy was brought

to the mind of Charles Lamb, and in hsE
 poem. "The Old Familiar Faces" he in- serted the following which was supp pressed later:

 taken to an asylum for six weeks for some form of mental Arrangement, which
 however, seems never to have recurred It is likely that Nthis tendency had been
 inherited from his mother, and that,
 moreover, the immediate cause, in this
 case, may have been love disappoint- ment.
 This at least is certain, that already
 Charles Lamb had lost his heart to girl
 and wrote sonnets to her. But the trag- edy that had entered into his life was
 the means of dispelling all of it's romance In the spring of 1799, Lambs father died, and from then on he and his sister had ever difficult time to find homo
 lowed them wherever they went, and
 hardly had they moved into new place
 before they were given notice to quit But Lamb persistently devoted himself to his afflicted sister, and. what spare time he could find to literary effort, but year after year his existence became more lonely and forlorn, until 1884. when ones day in the December of that year, while walking on the London road, he stum- bled and fell and slightly wounded his face.

HOTEL LoBBHEs
Living Cost High


 While the activity of the coal iron and steel market has undoubtedly materially helped business conditions in our section of the city" said Judge Frank Fournier of Wylam, and work is plentiful, con ditions are far from being as ideal as might be imagined. While work and wages have increased. yet they have not kept pace by any means with the high cost of living.
 notwithstanding the fact that the mills and mines and furnaces are working full time and more men are employed at the present time than at any other period in the history of the industrial plants, it is difficult for the man of ordinary wages to make both ends meet. I am not pre- pared to say what the cause is for the |tredenmous advance of food commodities it may be the war. it may be speculation but certain 1t is that the working man of average wages is having an uphill pun at the present time. However, I am an optimist,s and dare to entertain the hope that there will be a readjustment of these conditions in the near future and things will be much better."e

 Kentucky Mob Would Lynch a Judge
 7T1HE contempt for law and order, J so prevalent in practically all parts of this country, is strikingly il- lustrated by the plight in which a Kentucky circuit court judge and a commonwealth attorney found them selves. Because a continuance had been granted in the case of negro charged with killing white man, the two officials were forced to take refuge from a mob in hotel at Mur- ray. Ky., where they spent the night, guarded by strong force of deputy sheriffs.
 According to the Associated Press reports, when the judge announced that the accused negro would be tried next month the statement was greeted with howls and jeers from the crowd in the courtroom. The mob first de- handed the prisoner and when he was not produced the attempts of the iudge to make an explanation were Ehowled down. When the crowd ilearned that the prisoner had been spirited away, they told the judge that unless he ordered the return of the prisoner they would lynch both the judge and the commonwt1th at torney, or dynamite the hotel in which they were staying
 i Such conduct may wen cause aston lishment The negro in this case was not accused of crime against white woman, but his instant trial, convic- tion and execution was what the mob wanted, by legal means or otherwise. Recent statistics on lynching show that the majority of lynchings have other causes than criminal assault. 1 The governor of Kentucky hastened to Murray and took charge of the situation there. His visit had salu- tary effect and order was restored. When courts cease to command re- spect in community, no time should be lost in teaching hoodlums that there is such thing as constituted authority.
