Siamese Love Motion Pictures.

The Siamese love the movies" They
flock to BangkOk's motion picture
theaters. In each Of these theaters
there is royal dais, with a chair for
the king and table for the rOydl ell
bow and jar for the royal spittle
(the king does not chew betel nut, but
all Of his subjects do; so the jar Is
de rigueur). The king often comes for
the premiere of new picture. Usual
ly the film is a well-worn French or
American product, which has been
broken so often and pieced together
SO quantity that following the story
becomes an, acrObatic feat. The
Siamese follow it eagerly, unmindful
Of strange gaps in the plot. But Char
lie Chaplin may gambol in vain IL the
king is in the theater. for the audience
turn their backs on the screen to look
at royalty.

Upon the grassy knob where daisies

It's tiny and narrow and oh, so deep:
And they are coming to take my

No, don't touch her. Let the little

With her sweet head pillowed on my
breast.
She's dead, you say. Oh, that can
not be;
She's only sleeping, see how still she
lies?
The lids fall gently. DER her baby

She's growing cold. I will clasp her
close, close to me
And wrap her warm as a wee bird in
With her sweet head pillowed on my
breast
They took her from me and dressed
her SO fair.
Not half so sweet were angels. all In
white and with shining hair
They piled high the sod and told
me
She had gone to live with God.
They were so kind their living tear

The President was in an equally

without his personal opposition the
bill would pass and he would be
faced with the responsibility Of We

KEEPER OF CONFEDERATE
HOME EXONERATED

Louisville, July 23.-Colonel G.
L. Daugherty. commandant Of the
Kentucky Confederate Home at Pc
wee Valley, who was exonerated in
report made yesterday by Henry f.
James, state examiner and inspector.
was the subject of a statement today
by w. A. Milton, president Of the
home board of trustees.
Mr.. Milton called attention to the
fact that MIR. James found the
charges of negligence and favoritism
unfounded and in which Colonel
Daugherty is characterized. as "anxi-
Gus to provide everything that would
conduce to the well being of every
inmate"
Mr.. Millions statement asserts that
the James report shows that the
evil statements made by discharged
employees of inmates who imagined
favoritism, and outside parties, some
of whom had no means of informa-
ton which justified, did not receive
confirmation, but were fully and
completely refuted. The command
ant, Colonel C. L. Daugherty, the
report shows. has ever been anxious
70 provide everything that would
conduce to the well being of every
inmate. OF course, there has been
and always will be some charge of
neglect. which is to be expected from
among a considerable company of
people over whom authority is plac-
ed.
at is shown that almost without
exception. the complaints were not
justified or we're imaginary.
The foregoing is given out to the
public so that everyone may know
that the institution is great bene-

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER


World leadership In medicine and
surgery no longer is in Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States, as one Of the results Of war,
so DIR. George w. Grille Of Cleveland
stated In his address to the American
College of Surgeons In convention at
st. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal. This country made enor-
nous contributions In all branches Of
medicine and surgery during the war,
he pointed out, being particularly well
equipped to render that important
service because of the research and
development work that have been SO
conspicuous In the field Of scientific
medicine here during the last quarter
of century.
With the end of the war European
nations are exhausted and have linn
tied resources and little of spirit TO
80 ahead with that important work,
while this country has resources with
out limit and spirit equal to the sp-
portunity. Europe is all topsy turvy,
its famous old medical schools are
shaken, its great hospitals are ex-
hausted, its professional life shocked
and vearied. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
when he says: THE torch, all but
gone out, has been handed MS because
We alone are left the means to light
the way" II was his thought that the
medical schools and research iDstitu-
tons Of the land be supplied with
every resource, their work brOadened
and requirements raised, that the
World war opportunity may be devel-
oped and the problems of the future
met successfully. II

July Is, 1921, was recognized by all
who knew her. She was 19 months
and 25 days of age, beng called
from our midst in the evening while
the days of her brilliant life were
shining. She was ever cheerful and
always wore a pleasant sweet smile.
We loved her, yes, We loved her more
than words can tell. She was the
light of the home.
II makes us sad as we look back
and think of the days as she totter-
ed about the yard and in the house
singing her cheerful little songs. We
are very much grieved in having to
give up the brilliant little star. but
she is now resting in that beautiful
City of God, where no pain. sorrow

to Him, who doeth all things well

paid a cash sum from the sale Of
real estate.
"There was absolutely no con-

old woman lied when she said she

II is indeed a sorry spectacle
which the Governor OF the great
State of Illinois presents in defying
arrest and showing a disposition to
hinder as far as possible the investi-
cation of his .official conduct as
Treasurer of that State. He and
other former officials of the state
have been indicted by a grand jury
at Springfield for the embezzlement
of over a million dollars while in
atice. The Chief Executive denies
@he charge and is threatening to use
SKATE troops to prevent his arrest.
Such an attitude and such methods
can only prejudice his case. If he
operation with the legal authorities
ought to be forthcoming; he should
welcome a full investigation of such
charges against his good name. 1t
will be recalled that his Democratic
opponent for the Goyernorship last
fall made charges against Gov. Small
similar TO those now brought against
him by the grand jury, but the
sovereign people of Illinois brushed
them aside and elected him by an
unprecedented majority. We wonder
what they now think of their choice.
A great many individuals who rode
with the winners last November are
now much sadder and much wiser.

On the tenth month Ramborne &

nothing unusual in that. 1t was the

the goods had been ordered in ad-
