George w. P. Hunt Comes Home With
Splendiferous Array Of Glad Rags

How would you appear IL you
dressed in the garments which had
graced the form of Bedouin sheik?
This question was answered by
former Governor w. Z. Hunt for a
representative Of the Arizona Re-
publican who was privileged to eX-
anime the wonderful collection of
curios. art objects and native gar
ments which the former state eX-
ecutive gathered while recently re-
presenting the United States at
Siam.
Having read THE Sheik" and seen
the photoplay, the visitor from the
Republican was naturally attracted
to the resplendent robes which Gov.
Hunt had obtained from a real sheik
in Jerusalem.
"Try them on" invited the host.
First came garment designated as
"Joseph's Coat because OF its many
colors. 1t covered the body like a
sleeved robe and was held about
the gird1e with silken sash OF
brilliant hue. Into the sash was
slipped a short heavy handled, keen
bladed knife encased in a carved
silver sheath. over this outfit was
loosely fitted a water and sun proof
coat of camels hair. in natural color.
A silken rope, which flashed forth
brilliant jewels, held in place O flow
ing headpiece which completed the
attire.
This served as an introduction to
a collection that seemed to have no
end. In the matter of costumes Siam
had the best representation. Gov.
Hunt explained that each of Slams
IL states produces its own distinct
i've weave, all goods being the product
of hand looms. All the garments
were marked by simplicity of design
and intricacy of weave. Mixtures
OF gold, silver and silk gave text
ure of resplendent richness. Es-
pecially notable in this class was
a psahan from the Province of Nan.
1t had been made for the use of
Slamese prince. There was also
notable sarp.g from Kalantan of the
Federated lay states. Only the
thoroughly initiated could disting
uish sarang from a psahan or
penung if it came to matter of
selecting ore Tor personal wear.
There are no sleeves to any of them.
They seem merely long strips OF
maryelously woven cloth.
But the Oriental and Occidental
wardrobe comprises only a small
part of Gov. Hunts collection. Each
room of his spacious house holds its
fair share of the treasures.
In the living room are swords,
spears, hunting knives beheading
knives. elephant prods and other i'm
plements of war and the hunt. While
showing one long. thin bladed be-
heading knife the host told of a case
in Siam which required the bringing
a hangman from Singapore, 1000
miles away. A prisoner tried by the
Consular court was condemned to
hang. But Siam was opposed to
hanging and no one could be found
to undertake the service. So a man
was imported from Singapore for
the purpose.
On the same table with the be-
heading knife rerosed the Book of
Buddha. Its r ives are of palm and
are engrayed with stylus. The
book Is aept in a lacquered teak
wood box. Another Book of Buddha
was in three languages: Palo, un-
derstood only by the priests and
students. Cambodian and Siamege.
This book was presented to Gov
Hunt by a Buddhist priest OF Watt
Sapatoom, Ban4ok. II Is kept in a
box inlaid wiz pearl figures Of fam
ciful design.

keep toic watch. They are hand
carved from hard black wood, Their
age is uncertain, but they appear TO
have been originated about the time
the Chinese introduced the sages to
literature
"These drums are about 500 years
old" Gov. Hunt remarked as he
pointed to two bronze, Kettle shaped
objects. "They were originally used
by village in the northern part OF
Siam to signal from the hills but
were supplanted by more modern
means of communication and now
are found only in Buddhist temples.
The drums give forth sound which
may be heard for a, long distance
In religious ceremonials and parades
one OF the big bronze drums is
mounted on two rods Four men
carry the drum on these rods and
fifth keeps step with them and beats
the bronze head.
These drums are very rare. l
don't remember having seen one IN
any museum" Gov. Hunt said.
Elephants hold an important place
in Siamese life and replicas of them
are carved from any materials. In
his herd of elephants Gov. Hunt has
corraled white ones and black ones.

and ebony. brass and bronze. ancient
and modern. Among the antiques
where the elephant is represented
Gov. Hunt has a series of weights
used in Siam hundreds of years ago.
They are of different metals carved
to represent elephants. roosters, fish
and birds.
In collecting silver objects Gov.
Hunt reached out from Siam to
Russia and China. An old custom
is recalled by a beetle-nut set which
he includes in this display. This
set has six pieces, bowl for beetle
nut leaves. a bowl for the kernels.
another for lime, one for tobacco
and a mixing bowl. Natives of
earlier days would mix the ingredi-
ents from these bowls into a Chew"
which they seemed TO enjoy. The
concoction had the effect of black
ening the teeth of those who chewed.
Ancient and modern forks. spoons
and silver ware sets from Siam and
China now find a place on the din
Most of these are of silver but some
pieces are beaten gold.

Republican A. P. Leased WlreI


CALEDONIA MILLS, n. s., March
12.-The spook hunter, DR.. Franklin
Prince, was alone tonight in Alex
MacDonald's little home over on the
hill hoping that the thing which
caused Alex and his family TO vacate
would get friendly and suggest a
game of tag"
Down mere in the settlement, the
folk sat UP late, expecting at any
moment to see the psychic professor
his hair on end, fleeing from what
ever ii was that took liberties with
Alex cattle, slapped provincial de-
tective and a reporter when they
grew too bold, and then refused to
walk when its would be visitors
called.
There are some here who believe
that DIR. Prince already has discov-
cred the secret of the ghost. or per-
haps made its acquaintance and ar
ranged for friendly little chat to-
night.
DIR. Prince has taken precautions to
prevent members of his party from
giving out any information that he
has shared with them. and members
OF the Macdonald family, who visited
their erstwhile residence Friday
night. were pledged to secrecy re-
garding what happened.
Dan McGillivray. a neighbor, said
tonight:
'T reckon the doctor saw all he
wanted TO. else why all this gumshoe
stuff"

winter-now we've got two" he add
ed. First it was the ghost, now it's
the ghost hunter"
No report was made public OF the
happenings Of last night in the Mac
Donald home. 1t generally was be-
neved, however, that If the ghost
