The graveyard of Shantung, Chu-

mystery Of death, says Nathaniel
PETER In Scribner's Magazine. Lead
ing 10 it from the gate is a broad
avenue of trees spanned half way by
a stone arch Of exquisite carving and
majestic lines. The graveyard proper,
which is really a park, is enclosed in
a pink wall.
Within the graveyard any member
of K'ung clan, descendants of Confu-
clus, may be buried, whether the per-
son be scholar or cOolie. At the
farther end of the park is another
wall, behind which are the tombs of
ConfuciuS, his son and his grandson.
These consist of piling up of earth.

ALL BOW TO MY LORD TlGER
Natives OF the East Most Willingly
Accord Him Royal Ranks
Sacred From Attack

or all the animals deified in the East
none IS regarded with more awe than
my lord tiger. Especially throughout
Siam and Indo-Chiaa, the tiger Is king.
Shrines are built and sacrifices made
10 him; he Is as sacred from the at
tack OF tie natives as is the white e.s-
plant OF Siam.
II there are fewer tigers in this part
OF tie East today. IL is due largely 10
the efforts % western sportsmen who
occasionally can persuade, bribe, or
threaten "A few natives To aid them In
a hunt. Any such lack of respect on
the part of the natives Is. however,
looked upon frowningly by their neigh
bors who seem to fear that the tiger
will forget the exact individual who
attacked him and remember only the
community.
Native reverence goes so far as TO
allow a tiger TO prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night, at
lacking and sometimes killing those
so unfortunate as to cross his path In
the uaA Lle aittNd oeasA AStAi g 1" 49,
mountain domain, where he stays en-
tirely hidden until nightfall.
It is obvious that the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. Awe-inspiring
he is himself, and his supremacy is
helped along by the attitude of the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner of supernatural powers. 1t
is held that he always knows and.
tracks down those who offend him; he
can even turn himself into a human
being, the better to seek out his enc
mics.

FIRST OF MODERN PUGILlSTS
Jack Broughton, Enelishman, Nearly
Two Hundred Years Ago, Formu-
lated Rules to Govern Sport.

Jack Broughtou, the father Of pu-
gilism, fought his first fight on July D.
1925. lie was engaged in many rough
and-tumble fights with other lads, but
at that time he knew nothing Of box
ing, which was just being introduced
BY james Figg While attending a
fair Broughton was attracted by box
ing booth kept by Figg and was much
incensed by the foul tactics used by
a big man in boxing a much smaller
one. He demonstrated with the big
bruiser and an alteration ensued
which had reached the stage of fisti-
cuffs when Figg interfered and invited
the two men to the stage to settle their
differences. Young Broughton, after
ten desperate rounds, completely tri-
umphed over his older, bigger and
more experienced opponent. That was
Broughton's introduction to the ring.
After Figg's death he became cham
pion and by formulating code OF
rules to govern the game he became
entitled TO rank as the founder OF
modern pugilism.

ORIGIN Of the "FooIscap."

The fact that the British govern
ment, on economy bent, has discon-
tinued the use of foolscap paper for
official correspondence. has called
forth a mild discussion as to the
origin of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that it is due to the water
mark. fools cap, with which this size
of paper was adorned, but when II
comes TO the question of who first in
troduced it authorities differ. Some
say it comes from Germany, and point
to the fact that German paper bear
