London. Btandard. When travelling through the Shan States I limd the honor of being pre- sented to the smallest . king in the world, the Sawbwa, 6r Myolsa, of Chen- tung, He stood, as nearly as I could judge, 4 feet 9 inches in his curly Bur- mese slippers, and was the quintessence of regal courtesy. His "palace" was a thatched hut on stilts, close to the Salween River; he had several wives, who manifested great curiosity when they saw their lord in conversation with a white man, and his retinue consisted of some four- andstwenty men, armed with the quaintest collection of old guns that ever came out of a curiosity shop. The little brown king held out a small plump hand for me to shake. It was 4s soft as a woman's, the most genial I ever saw, and begged me to accept a cocoanut. I knew that it was court etiquett: to offer a gift in re- turn, and | was embarrassed to think that, travelling "light" as I was, I had nothing worthy of his acceptance. 1 suddenly bethought me of a corkscrew knifey bearing the name of a well known brand of bottled beer, which had been given me as an advertisement in Cal- cutta, a few months earlier. This 'l presented to him with due ceremony. and he accepted it with un- feigned delight. All his army pressed round him, I opened the blades, the corkscrew and the hoof pick, and the headman bear a gong vigorously at a signal from the king, apparently in token of the royal approval.

Severed Head, Said By Neighbors to Be That of Last Owmer of Place, Rolled From Pile 'of Sacks in the Barn. Adrian, Mich, Oct. 30--A dried hu- man head, apparently cleanly severed from the body and with the mouth stuffed with rags, rolled out of a pile of sacks in an outbuilding on the farm of the late Samuel! Bryant, eleven miles west of Here, near 'Clayton, where threshers were working. Emmett Cooney, one of the threshiers, was tak-' ing the sacks down front 3 shelf in the building and shaking the dust out of them, when suddenly front one of them rolled the ghastly head. Cooney fled in terror an notified the other men, Mr. Bryant, who has been dead for six months, lived alone on his farm for several years after having had with his wife. So far as is known no one has ever been reported missing from the neighborhood. Some of the men on the farm think the head" resembles that of Bryant, whe died from natural causes six months ago and was buried in a country cemetery near his home. Deputies Holt and Zager brought the head to this city this afternoon. Close examination . indicates that it was sev- ered probably by a saw. It was badly mutilated, Df. Wilcox of Clayton, who examined it, declared it could not the head of Samuel Bryant, but neigh- bors who: have seen the head are un- animous in saying it is the head of the. dead farmer. a ees MURDERED 20 WIVES, Cruel Annam Emperor Condemned to Exile. Than Thai, King, or, as he is some- times called, Emperor of Amnam, the most fantastically cruel monarch = of modern times, has been condemned to perpetual exile in Algeria by the French government, Than Thai murdered twenty of his pretty little wives with 'tortures of in- conceivable cruelty and horror. Annam is a large country of south- eastern Asia, which is under a French protectorate. France permits the native emperor to rule his own country ab- solutely in internal affairs except where French interests are specially con- cerned. Thus it happened that the em- peror was at liberty to carrv on murder and torture in his harem for many weeks before anybody ventured to inter- fere. » Finally the French authorities broke into the emperor's palace, which 'he had turned into a morass of blood, and seized the crazy monarch. That was nearly two years ago. Since then the emperor has been kept under restraint and close observation, Gown Of Crepe De Chine. store. ~~ Remembered '98.
