KING OF SIAM
 SHOWS THRIFT
 IN TAKING WIFE

London, Sept. 25.-The King of Siam is thrifty. Hence, when it came to the question of taking a wife and he contemplated the great cost of the elaborate cerem onies the people would expect, he married his wife by royal proclamation, says the Daily Mail, thus saving a lot of money There is an old Siamese custom which makes such action proper and binding He is just as much married by this method cd, according to Siamese law as by any other.
 Last year the King was engaged to his new Queens half sister, Prin- cess Va1latha, but that betrothal was declared annulled by royal decree. That was a queer document.
 His Majesty's noble desire" it stated, firmly and definitely to en- sure the succession to the throne can not satisfactorily be met owing to the incompatibility of temperament be- tween his Majesty and Princess Val latina, which may be accounted for by the chronic disposition of the Princess. whose nervous system leaves much to be desired' Shortly after ward the King became engaged to Princess Lahshrni.
 His Majesty is 42 years old and an honorary general of the British army. He came to England when he was 5 and was educated at Oxford and Sand hurst. Afterwards he was attached to the Durham Light Infa ntry. He speaks Enlish well and is conversant with western manners and customs, includ- ing it's various methods of tying and untying the nuptial knot.

GIVE TIE DOG A CHANGE.

am dog. Of all animals. I am the one which is most loved by you who are human. do not have to tell you that I love you. You know that. No animal can so well express it's love to the human as I can. While I live in a world of my own and you live in a world of your own. still our worlds touch.
 I live with you. I am faithful. I guard your homes and protect your children. save your lives. If you are drowning, I rescue you. If you are lost in snows of the mountains, I find you and bring you food. I serve you on the battlefieIds. Thou sh you beat me and are cruel to me. l still love you. I give up my life for you. Greater love hath no man than
 this
 Now I come to you pleading for your help. I want you to save me from myself. I want you to save my
 brother dogs and other animals. want you to save me from dying of the most hideous diseases that is
 known. I want you to save me from inflicting this hideous disease upon the children that love and upon the other animals. I want you to save
 me from hydrophobia.
 In order to save me from hydro pnODid, you must protect me rom some of my supposed friends among the humans who are super sentiment tai and thought1ess. I don't believe with the great psychologist, Freud, that these people are inherently cruel and that their agitation for the pro- lection of animals is a manifestation | of this complex, to convince them selves and the world that they are | not cruel. Nor do I believe that l the majority of them are childless and their maternal and paterna1 love | which should be expanded on children | Is lavished on dogs. No, I believe | these people really are sincere. But oh! I plead with you, protect me
 from them,
 l If these misguided friends of ours | had ever seen case of his agonizing
 disease, hydroph obia, in a dog or a | human, they would not be so cruel
 as to protest against the measures I that are known to prevent it. But as
 in the case of other things pertaining
 to us and to other animals, they dc
 not investigate for themselves. They l do not know.

Historic German Bell
 Successfully Repaired

Berlin. Sept. 26.-The huge bell in the cathedral tower on the former imperial palace grounds, which cracked while tolling out the death Of the former empress, will ring again after a year of silence. Like Amer ica's Liberty Bell, it went mute be- cause of a rent sustained while com memorating an historical event.
 The great mass of metal his just undergone a welding which marked the first attempt of its kind in Ger
 man science. The crack measured S20 miliim eters in length and required 45 Kilograms of metal to fill it.
 It was estinaIed that to remove the bell and transport it to Alpona or Lubeck where GermanyS only re- casting works are located. would cost mere than 5O0,000 marks. Further, sentiment prec1uded installing a new bell for one which has done service since 1471 when it originally graced the Wilhnack monastery. Conse- Guently, a firm undertook to repair it within it's own tower.
 The bell was lowered from it's sup and there subjected to a welding pro- cess of acetylic oxidizing under a heat of 1,400 degrees. Experts hold that it's voice will recover all of the old time cleerness when the necessary operations of repolishing and rechas- ing the metal have been completed.

The doctors say there is no disease
 so hideous in its agony as hydro
 phobia, and there is no other disease
 which, untreated, always causes death.
 How can you protect us dogs against
 this terribly cruel disease? You can
 put muzzles on us. If we are mug
 zled, we cannot bite each other, nor
 you. In the countries where muzzling
 is enforced, there is practically no
 hydrophobia. There is no disease
 more easily prevented, for it is prac- tically always transmitted by us dogs.
 You can quarantine all dogs coming
 to our country until it is known that they are free from hydrophbia. It is not cruel for us to be muzzled. Muzzles are made so that we can drink
 in comfort and we soon get used to them. The thing we cannot do is to bite-and if we cannot bite, then we cannot transmit this terrible disease if we should happen to get it. Of course if we are penned up in your yards, or if we were on leashes, then, it would not be so necessary for us to be nuZZled. But even under these conditions it is better for us to be muzzled. While hydrophobia is disease than man and animals, cats, horses, cows, goats, pigs, wolves and even birds can have, still nine-tenths of the hydrophobia occurs in us. | One of suffering from the dis ease could bite many other dogs and 1 other animals and. most terrible of l all, could bite many little children and | human beings. while we are under l the influence of this disease. We do not want to do this, you understand; l it is simply that we are mad, insane with the agony, and we do not know what we are doing,
 | We want your protection. We want you to protect us from these so-called l friends who think they manifest their
 love for us by protesting against meas
 ures that really protect us as much l as they do the human beings and i'other animals.
 | We do not want to get this cruel disease. We do not want to pass it I on to you. We love you. We want Ito serve you. Protect us against our rdear, sentim ental, but in reality mis- guided and terribly cruel so-called friends.
 Give us dogs a chance?

A CHILD's EYESIGHT

A young child should not be allow ed to look at anything requiring close vision for considerable period, since the so-called fusion of the vision de- velops very slowly. In fact, system atic work is safe only after the ocular tissues have passed the formative stage of development. Noormally, a young child is far-sighted, and al- though the accomm odation is active enough, it is not so easily employed as to enable the child to obtain clear images for very long. In other words, fatigue of the eye muscles soon takes ilace, and if unduly stimulated the luscular strain tends to distort the
 eban, causing pressure upon the
 rnea.
 When school age is reached, care
 uld be exercised to see that a child beginning to study does not abuse r eyes. Some of the earliest princi-
 to teach a child just beginning n Use books are:
 first. never to sit facing the light Dot let the light come from behind or over the left shoulder.
 Second. to avoid books or papers

SYNOPSIS.

Edward Eggleston Moore gets a commission to write an auto biography of Governor Will Ham, mil, and goes to MiIvflle Manor to get the necessary details from his excellency. Moore had been n moving picture actor but a change in public taste had left him without work. So he had turned to writing. But the pro- fession of letters brought him no success. By borrowing he. manages to get money enough to reach Milville Manor.
 After selecting a cheap board- ing house, he goes out to see the town. A sudden rain compels him to seek shelter in 8 moving pie ture theatre. The picture has no attraction for him, and he is fal- ing asleep when a Girl in front of him declares the hero of the pie ture Is the kind of a man she would marry. He looks up and recognizes himself in an old pie ture. He becomes immediately interested in the girl and follows her out of the theatre when she leaves. On the sidewalk, her es- cort, whom she calls Will, col IapSes and Moore puts him into her automobile and drives the car to WilPs. Then he drives her home, where he meets her father. The sirl whom he knows only as Alice makes him promise to play tennis with her the next day. Back in his boarding house he muses over the days experiences and decides II would keep my ap- pointment at 10 o'clock with Ham1niI. I would get what data he had to furnish and bring it home with me. Then would go out and look for inspiration"
