Directory Ffenda.

A man with grip entered n down
town drug store and asked permission
to look at the city directory. He was
so long about his search that one of
the clerks got to watching him, and
not without results. The man was ap-
parently looking through the business
indexes AT the back of the book, and
whenever he came 10 a page he fancied
he cut 1t out with a deft movement,
barely detectible. The clerk called the
proprietor, and between them they saw
him cut no less than five pages from
the book.
Then the proprietor beckoned to a
policeman just outside the window and
went up to his customer.
Got through with the book he
asked
Yes. quite" was the reply Much
obliged Is there any Charge
Yes; the usual charge" said the
drug store man. Eight dollars,
please
The man looked at the proprietor,
took in the policeman and without a
word produced his wad and settled.
This is moi the first time people
have mutilated my directory said
the druggist in relating the incident,
but it's the first vandal caught at it.
Instead of copying the few names he
wants lie preferred to cut out whole

Feeding Their Dead.

Twice a year, in the first week OF
April and October. the Chinese feed
their dead. They think, very sensibly,
that once their friends and relatives
leave this mortal coil they ought to
stay away from this world. and to pre-
vent their return they faithfully trans.
NIT to them all the necessaries of life.
1t has been discovered by oriental wis
dom that the way to transmit serv-
ants. songs, plays. books and money is
to manufacture them in paper and
burn them. But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave.
The Chinese are not stingy. and uag
on loads Of roasted chickens, pigs,
ducks. various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken to the cemeteries. The food
Is piled before each grave amid burn.
Ing red, carrot shaped candles and joss
sticks. Then the living PROSTATE them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves. Chi
nese wines are then sprinkled literally
over the graves. while some graves re-
ceiye boxes of cigars and packages of
cigarettes.
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. Oh
no. That would be throwing too much
temptation in the way of heather
tramps In about two hours 1t Is be
lieyed that the ghosts got the essence
of the eatables conveyed to them and
then the devotees gather up the offer
ings and carry them home again TO
feed to their own material bodies. But
the cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the graves.
