ITO all outward appearances Sing
Lee had died by an act Of his own
hand. But the Smiling blue devil"
silent as it was and impressive in
its Suggestions Of suicide, proved to be
Guam Sues nemesis. The bag of gold
didn't tell much, and unopened it re-
mains in the possession OF B. w. Gar
rett, clerk of the Supreme court, tag
/ ged as an exhibit in the case. Like
the revolver it had been left to add
to the theory that the police would
ordinarily form-that Sing Lee had
"croaked" himself. The watch also is
with the. clerk Of the court, as well
as the Smiling blue devil"
Despite this array of untouched
wealth, the authorities Of Story county
were convinced that there was some-
thing amiss.
Another Chinaman had been seen
! about the Sing Lee Laundry. He had
come quietly and departed in q like
manner. The number and make OF the
revolver was taken and the weapon
traced. It's trail led back across many
states to the Chinese quarter OF San
Francisco, and Guam Sue was identi-
fled as its purchaser. Usually mo
saveey" is the word Of Chinatown but
there are occasional leaks even In this
inaccessible locality. Somebody who had
la grudge "squealed" and Guam Sue was
arrested as having been the owner of
the revolver. He was brought back
to Iowa and here identified as the
Chinaman who had been seen around
the Sing Lee laundry during the days
Immediately preceding the finding OF
the laundryman's body.
eat the trial evidence showed that
had the gods been working in har-
mony with Guam Sue he would soon
have been wealthy man. In the banks
Of San Francisco Sing Lee, 1t deyelo-
ped, had many thousands OF the
Americans taels, or dollars, on de-
post. Sue, it was brought out had
intended to draw out this money as
Sing Lee.
"Refusing to accept the decision OF
the Story county distict court. Guam
Sue had his case appealed, hoping
that the gods might see there way to
serve him, but the gods apparently
are still wrathful. Guam Sues only
hope, since the state supreme court
has now ruled, is that the treaty be-
tween the United States and China
may present some loophole whereby
Guam Sue may obtain his liberation,
accept deportation to the land OF his
fathers, to be dealt with under the
law of his own land"

SMOKES COME HIGH.

Having had a prosperous year in
business last year, | made quite a
splash in sending boxes of cigars to
numerous friends at Christmas time.
The check for the cigar merchant
was large in comparison to the one |
sent my pastor for my church MEM
bership. Unfortunately in mailing
the checks they were transposed in
putting them into the envelopes. The
minister took quite delight in COM
menting on my prosperity, being
able to pay out so much for tobacco,
saying he hoped my contribution to
the church would be in proportion.
The cigarman had sent the wrong
one back to me and in order to
square myself l had to send one to
my pastor about 100 per cent strong
er than the iginal.-Exchange.

0. H. Lipps, Of Lapwai, super
intendent Of the Nez Perez Indian
reservation, has been advised by
the secretaryof the interior that
patents in fee will be issued to
PTS members Of the tribe in ac-
cordance with recommendations
of the competency commission,
which recently sat for several
weeks at Fort Lapwai, and that
it is probably that Cato Sells,
commissioner of Indian affairs Of
the west, will arrive here within
a few days and make delivery Of
the patents in person. Superin-
tendent Lipps recently visited
Browning, Mont, to meet Com
missioner Sells.

which takes place in November.
Under recent act of congress a

TURKISH LAWS STILL HARSH
Even After Revision the Marriage Code
Remains one-sided, and Polyaamy
is Permitted.

In the revised code ofslaw accept
ed about a year and half ago by the
Turkish parliament, no attempt is
made to abolish polygamy or to give
equality before the law in marriage
to men and women.
The number of legal wives which a
man may have is still four; adultery
as sufficient cause for divorce still
applies to the wife but not to the
husband; and though Moslem men
are permitted to marry non-Moslem
women, no Moslem woman may
marry non-Moslem man. Yet
there is distinct effort in the re-
vlsed Turkish code to make marriage
less casual by surrounding it with
more religious ceremony and civil
machinery-such as bans, license
and registration.
Also, statute has been made of
the old custom by which woman
may make it condition of the mar
riage contract that her husband shall
not take second wife; not, at least,
without divorcing the first. Nor, un-
der the new code, may the mother-in-
law become member of the home
without the wife's consent. How
great gain this is to the Turkish
wife may be understood from the
four questions by which she makes
her social approach to another wom-
an: GLOW old are you?" care you
married." "How many children
have YOU" and 'Have you moth
er-in-law?"

Here is an interesting item
from Antioch, Cal. So long as the
eggs are forthcoming, Mrs. Lee
Wisdom, of this place, is not wor-
1ylng about the possibility OF a
general strike among her flock OF
hens. A peculiar experience with
one of the hens has evoked the
Scarefree attitude. A hen that had
been sitting on a group of eggs
suddenly quit her job few days
ago. The weather was warm, and
a day or two later Mrs. Wisdom
was astonished to find that four
OF the eggs had Matched. She
sets forth that the heat Of the sun
served as an effective incubator.
The orphaned chicks are alive
and active.

POLAND SEEKS PERMANENT
 PEACE

London, Dec. 24.-"Poland will loyalty accomplish all the obligations she has undertaken and sincerely de- sires a lasting peace, as the Polish government is conscious taht an eco homie catastrophe would occur b. soon as war was reopened.'
 In these words, the Polish govei1l- ment, through it's legation here, de- clares that the suggestions which have been made recently to the effec, that hostiltiies might reopen at any moment between Poland and the So- viet government are without founda- tion. Continuing, the legation as- serts: ,
 "The negotiations in Riga will without doubt, proceed toward a fla vorable result, as the Soviet govern ment would not like to risk rupture and to provoke a new war, either at present or in the spring."
 "A new war would be most disas- trous for Moscow, both from military and economic points of view. Besides the Soviets do not possess the means of carrying on great offensive against the contagious Polish army
