Howard Gore of Washington, who recently re- turned from a trip abroad, during which he covered 32,000 miles. In that time Doctor Gore used several kinds of conveyances, including rail- road trains, large steam vessels, steam launches, automobiles, rickishaws, camels and ponies. Every railroad and steamship ticket used on the trip was in Doctor Gore’s possession before he left Washington, and all other arrangements, including the securing of hotel accommodations, had been made. He had a schedule which he followed, and 8o free was the entire journey from delays that he returned to Washington within twelve hours of the time he had set five months ago. He atributed this large- ly to a good choice of seasons. The wind was with him instead of against him, he said. Doctor Gore spent most of his time in Siam, where he was the guest of the late king, Maha Vajirabudh. The public school system of this country, known so little as yet to tourists, was one of the most interesting features to Doctor Gore. Slam’s Excellent Schools. “Slam has an excellent public school system,” Doctor Gcere said in describing his trip, “and .plans for a university have just been adopted. 1 doubt whether there is a country in Deposit your money in our nank; you fcel secure because it is in asafe place.

One of the duties of every young man is to serve a certain length of time in the priesthood, and in this connec- tion they are supposed to teach the children of the neighborhood. * “English is taught parallel with Si- amese, due, I believe, to their recog- nition of the universality of the Eng- lish language. I believe the most beautiful English I ever heard was spoken by the Siamese minister of ag- riculture. His pronounciation was beautiful and his dictation was per- fect. “Every school has a director of Eng- lish, and in teaching the lessons charts are used on which are similar sentences in Siamese and in English. I saw children seven, eight, nine and ten years old reading English, and 1 saw them writing it down from dic- tation, and as yet I have not seen is a Ruthless Destroyer! in response to a question, “but they have no suffragettes. Great impetus has been given to the education of girls of that country by the fact that the sisters and a cousin of the king have gone Into the schools as teach- ers. Then, too, in all the school- rooms is a ‘king's desk'—a desk do- nated by the king, at which the honor pupil each month is allowed to sit. “The Siamese people have a cost of living problem and a servant problem, too,” sald Doctor Gore. “They teld me the cost of living had increased about thirty per cent. in the last six or eight years. They have trouble in securing good, reliable servants also “They are a happy, contented peoc- ple, however. There is no social un- English language.

I was im- pressed by the thorough trustworthi- ness of the Siamese, and it was the only place where I saw no ‘itching palms’ Not a native would accept a tip for any service performed, but they will soon get over this when more tourists visit that country.” Motion pictures are plentiful in Siam, said Doctor Gore, and are one of the chief amusements of the peo- ple. “Every inducement is offered to young men to work themselves up,” Docter Gore explained. “It is the most democratic country in the world in regard to titles. Titles are not handed down in Siam as they are in many other countries, but diminish as ter. is lost entirely, unless the young men have proved their worth.” The change of names with the change of rank, which is & custom peculiar to Siam, is very confusing, said Doctor Gore. Water control in Siam proves a dif- ficult problem, according to Doctor Gore, for, because of the rainy sea- son, it is often as necessary to keep water out as it is to keep water in. They have a system of irrigation here, however, he said, which seems to work very well. Only one American was seen by Doctor Gore during his stay in Siam, that being Jens I.

Every governmental depart ment with this exception has an Eu- ropean adviser, said Doctor Gore. Chinese to Quit Binding Feet. China is becoming Europeanized. That signifies that many of its quaint, antique customs will vanish, to be re- placed perhaps by some Occidental vices. But let us hope that nothing will be imported half so horrifying and barbaric as the Chinese foot-bind- ing custom. J. Macgowan tells us, in “How Eng- land Saved China,” which is an ae- count of changes brough about by European influence during the last fif- ty years, that when he reached China this terrible product of far-off centu- ries had struck its roots so deeply in. to the national life, and was so inter woven into its very warp and woof, that to an onlooker it seemed that | there was no power that could ever | be brought to bear upon it that could | tear it out of the heart of the nation. The women everywhere were under { the grip of this intolerable tyranny. The two chief exceptions were the slave-women and the boat-women, but outside of these it was to be found as prevalent in the homes of the poor- est as it was in those of the wealthiest and most aristocratic of the land. | { Undertaker's Feeling, “Plerpont Morgan was a good hater, He could like a man well, and he { could hate a man well.” | The speaker, a divine, with a smile: “I once heard Mr. Morgan say that he hated a certain financier who had played him false—that he felt toward him a good deal like the undertaker. “At an evening party,” he went on, “a wit endeavored to be facetious at an undertaker’s expense. “‘Yours must be a ghastly trade, sald the wit. ‘I suppose you never look at a man without wishing him dead?” “‘No,’ said the undertaker calm!v.! | ‘Oh, no. There are quite a number of men whom I'd be more than willing to bury alive'” i Rough Rhyming. | “I want a word to rhyme with Ma.| hitable” said the amateur poet. “What ! would y i His friend wrestled with the prcb-f lem for awhile. { “I would suggest that you get an.| other girl,” he finally said. | resumed s | at her ehads | LAKE PHARMACY fore e We Have Tampa Ice Cream ——— We Take Orders From Anywhere in the City TAILOR MADE CLOTHING AT CUSTOM PRICES.
