PUTS HIS QUEUE IN CASKET
Ling Sung of Omaha obeys Imperial
Decree but Carefully Preserves
His Precious Pletail.

After forty years of the closest COM
panionship Ling Sung has parted with
his queue in obedience to the i'm
perial decree of the Emperor of
China.
The queue, which is tied at one end
with yellow ribbon, reposes in silk
lined casket under his cot and will be
his companion to the grave when he is
called to join his ancestors. Mr..
Sung is one of the few Cinnamon of
Omaha who have clung to the Chi
nese custom of centuries and con-
tinued to keep the adornment care
fully protected from the dismantling
customs of the modern west
Immediately after the formality of
shipping off his queue Mr.. Sung was
barbered by one of his countrymen
and on Monday he gave an ante-queue
chop chop suey dinner to a few
Of his friends. There will be another
chop suey dinner to celebrate the
event. When asked if the emperors
decree caused him to cut off his queue
Mr.. Sung said:
No, my friend. Him barber, use
just shears, same's ;.-vbody. Me save
him In box to look at when not feel
velly good. World-Herald
