Chinese Clans Fight
! Trivial Disputes That Sometimes Lead TO Great Loss OIL
ess sss ssE SIS sss sss..l

Americans in the region around Swa-
tow. China, have been brought face TO
face Unexpectedly with a curious him
drance 10 trade in the form OF constant
fights between clans over the most
trivial things. AS nearly every Chinese
laborer is a member of a clan In that
district. the commerce of the twentieth
century is stopped every little while by
the surviyals of a past so ancient that
the American commonwealth Is an alb
surdly young infant compared with 1t.
The clans are all formed Of blood rel
atives and are added TO systematically
by intermariage so that all the mem
bers are bound together by ties OF, rela-
tionship. Each member pays all he cal
TO the headman of his clan, and the
sums obtained in this way are O
nous.
Thus the Ur clan recently fought for
six months and the total cost OF the
war was only Is cents a man, certainly
as low a wa budget as there is on rec
ord.
A few months ago two men from two
different clans met in a village in the
province. One mentioned the others

Played Piano Twenty-Seven Hours
But Went Mad.

Gustav. GARNER. a composer, won
his wage that he could play the plano
ceaselessly for more thar twenty-four
hours without repeating the same piece.
He played twenty-seven hours and four
minutes without notes, entirely from
memory. playing 1i6 pieces. ranging
from a concer hall waltz to a Beetho-
ven symphony.
Twice he was fed by an assistant, but
without in~terrupting the playing.
The performance ended when Gar
nier, who had been raving more n

A Little Heroine.

II was "oyer in Jersey that a little
incident happened a few weeks ago
in which an 11-year-old girl displayed
qualities Of character worthy to be
compared with the men who stood by
their posts in the New York tunnel
disaster. The girl in question, with
a companion somewhat Older than her
self was playing on the ice in the
Raritan canal, near New Brunswick,
when the latter suddenly went down
through an air-hole, says Leslie's
Weekly. No help being in sight. the
younger girl promptly laid down nat
on the Ice around the hole and waited
for her friend TO come up, but when
the latter appeared she was too far
away, and her rescuer couIu o grasp
her. Twice the girl sank out OF sight,
and when she r~eappeared. the other
who haG commenced to yell Justify for
help, but without changing her posi-
ton. managed to grasp nsr friends
hair. She could not pull the drowning
girl out of the water, but she held on
desperately until a man who heard
her cries came up and rescue both.
The water had flowed over the leo
around the hole SC that the younger
girl was half submerged, and more
than nalf frozen when help came. but
b did not shrink from her effort. nor
seem to realize that she herself was
In any danger. her only thought being
for her companion, whom she had
snatched from the very jaws OF death.
