The government is trying TO de-
eide that whiskey is, but the deci
sion that suits the distillers doesn'
suit the blenders and vice versa
Even when the matter has been de.
cided they dig 1t again and want Il
decided differently. Hence the mat.

Jew and millions are waiting for .

TIE YELLOW CORD

From the inscrutable East comes
a history savorlng of the Arabian
Nights. It is a story that brings back
the days of Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves. Only in a land of dragons,
foruneteller, mandarins, and lily
gardens would such things be posi-
BILE. But the walls OF the imperial pal
ace whisper mysteries, and omi-
nous reports are in the air.
These are to the effect that five
court officials are on their way from
Pekin to Honan, bearing with them
the imperial yellow cord, signifying
the thrones order that Yuah Shih
Kai member OF the Grand Council
and president OF the Board of For
elgn Affairs, be given two months in
which to commit suicide.
You picture this great viceroy and
Chinese official perhaps watching
the gold fish in his garden at Honan.
The five court messengers are an
nounced, and of a sudden, Yuan's
face blanches and his limbs tremble
The words OF the soothsayer who
foretold that he would become q
viceroy and lose his head before he
was fifty-two recur to him in al
their baneful significance. Yuan il
now fifty. Has his time come? No ex'
plantations are necessary. Bid the five
messengers welcome and set out thu
the cups OF tea.
The yellow cord tells its own story
The recipient understands its mean
ing just as the member OF suicide
club understands the significance o
the fatal number. 1t Is an invitation
delicately expressed TO take a rid
on the dragon" The details are al
left to him. In any way that bes
pleases his fancy, he may shuttle OF
the mortal coil. He can do so If b
will. by falling on his sword, b.
turning on the gas, or by drinking
carbolic acid The funeral expense
will be paid by the court.
All his life Yuan has been playin
hide-and-seek with death. What in
trigues he took part in at the i'm
perial palace are now known only b
himself! It was he who assisted tn
late Empress Dowager TO usurp tn
throne. His death warrant had bee

felt very kindly toward the admins
tration. The place was one easy
for a man like General Lee to fill and
as 1t paid good salary there was
no particular reason for him to re-
tain resentments from the war period
and he did not seem to do so. When
the writer introduced General Lee
to number of Ohio people he talk
ed very openly and freely saying
amongst other things the following:
1t is difficult for an old soldier like
me who gave the best years of his
life to the cause of the Confederacy
to say 1t but l cannot fail to recognize
that fact that 1t Is good thing
that the South failed in it's effort to
secede from the Federal Union.
General Lee was large, portly gen.
tleman of good common sense and
clever intellectually. He was not Civ
en- to frills or ostentation and was
a likable kind of man.

An unidentified man was found
