with Chinese in Boston. IheSf
Orientals were aware of the tragic
murder of the member of theil
race, but have taken no steps tc
provide a proper burial. They
have manifested no concern ovel
the brutal murder of their coun-
tryman.
"Unwept, unhonored, and un-
sung", the celestial lies entombed
at Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
A Chinese funeral is usually an
elaborate event, when a ceremony
called Hong TEX is observed. A
platform, made of silk, is erected
and stretched over bamboo poles
to represent homestead. Fields
and streams, houses, soldiers, ser
wants, domestic animals, imple-
ments, vegetables, grains fruits
and so forth, all made in minia-
ture, stock it. Before this unique
structure, which in remote in
stances, costs a thousand dollars,
Taoist priests perform the proper
ceremonies lasting three days.
The entire structure is then set
on fire and passes over for the
use and comfort of the dead.
The second spirit-the Chinese
believe there are three-docs no.
go into the spirit world, but takes
up his residence in the bones.
When the time for burial arrives,
which may be months after death,
a live fowl is carried before the
coffin to convey the spirit to the
grave, and paper representing
money is scattered adj over the
road ito buy the way" from the
devils or spirits of the unburieI
Dead who are everywhere. At
the cpd of five years, the bod y is
taken up, the bones are cleaned,
and replaced in an earthen vessel,
This is the proper burial.

by his people, is deprived of all

The Chinese New Year com
mcnces with the first new moon,
between the 21st of January and
the 10Th of February. A time of
great rejoicing, feasting and con
is the New Year. Great |
quantities of food, and provisions |
and new clothing are purchased |
that the New Year may be usher
ed in properly.
Guests pass from house and, af
ter formal salutations, are pressed |
to remain for tea and refresh
ments. Large engravings are plac-
ed over Chinese doors, presenting !
some message of joyous or propit-
ious import. Happiness is sought |
everywhere and given everywhere
Not so with Sam Wah, the
lone Oriental, living in strange
land, forgotten by his kinsmen.
No members of his race in late
years visited him during the
fcasts to keep alive the Chinese
traditions. He observed the New
Year and the "Fcast of the Lal-
terms" alone in his basement quar-
terS. If he would have guests he
must invite in local St Johnsbury
people Instead of his people,
strangers came to celebrate the
Chinese feaSts.
Although he was not an Amcri-
IAN citizen, Sam Wah, apparently
preferred our mode of living. He
1ad cut off his queue, an act
which amounts to a remuneration
If his country. Perhaps therein
les the story Of his rejection b.
lis kinsmcn.

in the U. S. District court. Ihe
plaintiff seeks to recover $4,000
charging malpractice as a result
of an operation which was per-
formed at East Burke in Mar~h,
1919.
The son of the plaintiff testified
this morning relative TO his faith
er's health before and after the
operation. He was present during
the operation and testified that
there was one gauze sponge miss
ing and that after DR.. w. 3.
Fitch performed another opera
ton some weeks after the first one
the gauze sponge was taken out.
He testified that the nurses kept
account of the sponges instead OF
the physicians
DR.. w. B. Fitch testified relative
to the operation and the sponge,
which was in a glass jar was liz
troduced as evidence. He was oX-
amined very closely relative to
who had charge Of the sponge5
testifying that that work was del
egated TO the nurses, also testified
that from a natural condition Of
Mr.. Eggleston after the operation
the denfedant would be justified in
the assumption that although
there was one sponge missing it
was not the cause of the pam
from which Mr.. Eggleston was
subject
Considerable time was occupied
in obtaining a jury due to the fact
that the defense tried to prevent
knowledge that the defendant, DR..
Ross, carried liability insurance
in the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany.

Finest Contest of

The Mempremagog driving
club CAV fine matinee program
Saturday afternoon at the Speed
way on the South bay under sunny
skies and a day admirably suited
to en- Joy out-of-door winter sports.
Much credit is due the manage
ment for the good track condition,
which has proven tn best induce
ments toward increasing the entry
list of some CT the best horses.
An assembly gathered four hun
drcd strong at the speedway to
shout themselves hoarse for their
favoIitcs. Among the enthusiasts
were many of the gcntlcr sex,
that were onlookers.
The several classes were we'll
contested as will be seen by the
score. There were intcrestingraccs
by horses not entered including
Il race between two colts, Happy
Harvester, two year old whose
'uHiilC has Dctll IlcIlIiOHcu rs nav
ing been seen on the ice before
and today he appeared with his
sister, Happy Harvester Maid, a
brown fillie one year older. Also
the black mare Lady Fortcsquc,
who has seen racing on the ice.
The course was made clean
from an even start. Tho horses
came tearing down the stretch
with the little two cyar old in the
middle and without break the
race was fnishd. Happy Harvester
showed all the qualities of the
free-for-all race horse. The crowd
pressed in from both sides of the
track so the races hardly had Il
chance to pass through so inter
cstcd were they in the colts.
