blue and white doves winning their
flight across the blue and white bridge
which is a conspicuous part OF the
decoration. The story is Chinese
one. because the first willow plate
came from China. II runs as follows:
A beautiful Chinese girl named
Koong-Shee loved her fathers secre-
tary, Chang, who was poor. Because
her father wanted her to marry a rich
man and because she would not give
UP the poor secretary, he sent her to
live in little house at the end of the
garden. Outside Koong-Shee's window

watching it bloom.
One day when she was most unhap-
by, Chang found a cocoanut shell to
which he attached a sail. In IL he
placed a letter asking his sweetheart
to fly with him. The shell sped across
the lake where Koong-Shee sat watch
ing. She read the letter and answered
that she would go IL he would be
brave enough TO come for her.
Then Chang went boldly up TO the
little house and took her away They
had to cross bridge to leave the gar
den. AS they were half way across

her jewel case and behind came the
father with a whip. The lovers es-
capped, however, to little house
across the lake, where they lived hap
PLY. Finally one day the rich man
who wanted Koong-Shee for his wife
and who hated her for refusing him,
found out where she lived. He set
fire to the pretty little house and
Koong-Shee and Chang died together.

New York.-The prototype of Ed

some condition he goes even further
than Hales character, for he is not
only without country. but without
even a tribal affiliation.
This individual is known as Stand

is not known, because no one has been
found who can speak his language. He
is living with Sidney Marion, 56S

brought the Indian north from New
Mexico. Mr.. Marion said:

outcast moved me and I determined

While In New Mexico 1 had learned
