HON YOU DIES
AS PLEDGE
IS KEPT
Joss Sticks Burn on Bier
Though Body Will Have
Christian Burial.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 2.--Joss
sticks burned at 211 Ivy alley,
where the body of HON You, CHI
nese laundry worker, lay awaiting
Christian burial. The joss sticks
were to ease\. the hearts of the
family of HON You, awaiting news
Of his death in Canton, China, and
not for the repose of his soul.
HON You was convert to
Christianity and his funeral today
will be just like that of any other
resident of Maryland.
Bid Kin Farewell.
But the joss sticks to the minds
of HON You's friends in Baltimore
and China tell how Confucian
mysticism and ORIENTAL fatalism
stripped the veneer of Occidental
civilization and religion from HON
You's soul and left it bare for. SUI
perstitious death.
HON You died, as he knew he
would and as his friends knew he
would, shortly after his return from
China, where he had gone to say
farewell to his family.
It was early last summer when
HON You received his death sign.
The fortune teller cast down a hand
full Of painted sticks and saw the
death token uppermost. HON You
saw 1t, too, and was troubled. Not
that he was afraid to die, but he
wished to say farewell and to pro.
vide for his family in Canton.
Makes Pledge To Gods.
With his fingers dipped in the
blood of white cockerel HON You
pledged his soul to the gods of
China that If they would allow him
to visit China, to see his wife and
sons and to take them his savings,
he would return to Baltimore ana
die as the gods had decreed.
So HON You packed his worldly
goods, went to Canton and trans
acted all the business he had set
forth to transact. Two weeks ago
he returned to Baltimore. To his
friends he repeated the Confucian
adage:
1.-THE wise man meets his fate
calmly; only the fool struggles
against the inevitable"
Then he took to his bed and
last night he died, as he knew ne
would.

Barabieri helped her to her home.
The officer was informed that the
stork was about to visit the Byrne
manse and he ran out to call an am

and departed when he reached the
Byrne home with DR.. Louis Steiger,
an ambulance surgeon. The new
conner, they found, was little girl,
whose heart had not yet begun to

For more than an hour the patrol
man and the physician alternated
in blowing into the baby's throat.
Then DR.. Steiger administered in

began to breathe.
