GOES UP ON HIGH.
Wealthy Chinese has Novel Trip
From This life TO Next.

There was a pretty custom among
some of the ancients when a promi-
nent citizen died,to send his valet
along with him on the road to Para
disc, and it was oftimes necessary to
resort to extreme methods to insure
this company for the departed. But
in the territory of the China-Ameri-
can Trading Company, Ford dealers
in Tientsin, China, they have discov-
cred much better aid to the deceas-
ed over the rough places on the trip
to the Promised land.
1t is a custom of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of efigies at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, the
more wealthy the departed the more
elaborate the figures burned over his
grave. These effigies represent
every manner of things such as hui
man figures, horses, sedan chairs,
tables loaded with money, etc. The
figures usually conform to some of
these stereotyped fashions, but at the
funeral of Mr.. Ii, who died short
time ago in Tientsin, and who was a
very wealthy man, the bereaved fam
lily outdid themselves and made an
imitation of the deceased gentleman's
Ford car to be burned at his grave.
This Ford effigy was made entire
ly of strong Chinese paper stretched
on bamboo and reed frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the
pedals accurately placed, and all
made of paper and bamboo. The
Interior of the car was also accurate
in detail, being carefully upholstered
in paper. The effigy of the driver
as shown in the photograph, was a
work Of art. The car was carried
about three miles through crowded
streets to the graveside where a
match was applied and it was
consumed in a few minutes.
This is the first time a motor car
has been burned at the grave of a
Chinese, and there is every reason to
believe that the deceased went up
"On High"

The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the

Pistey, 43 Reilly street, was depriv- ed of his drivers license for six months by Deputy Motor Vehicle Com missioner Mcdonald this morning.
