In the towns of Lecce and Reggie di

French is the mother-tongue Of over
100000 natives Of the districts Of
Aosta, Pignerol and Sue, and German
of some 1900 In Piedmont and vene-

Sardinia.
German. Serbian, Slovenian and

1CHINESE BRIDE
ENDS OWN LIFE
ON WEDDING DAY
Frisco's Chinatown Mourns
Girl Who Remembered
"UnlUriften Code"

San FranciScO.-In the unwritten
code under which Chinatown governs
itself without recourse to the white
mans courts and police it is laid down
that an unfaithful wife, confronted
with the proofs of her infidelity, shall
die by her own hand. 1t was so or
dered by the ancient lawgivers of the
Orient and it stands today.
From the days when she first be-
gan to understand, Fannie Ng Fong
had been taught this. When a wee
mite of girl, just beginning to toddle,
she had wondered why Woo Fa didn't
come to the house any more. That
night her mother took her on her knee
and taught her the unwritten law Of
Chinatown. Fannie vowed that when
the time came for her to marry she
would be true.
Pretty as only an oriental beauty
can be, Fannie was the belle of China
town. Came to her house DR.. Fong
Wan. In the Chinese quarter the
practice Of Doctor Feng was large, and
even the white doctors sometimes
called on him for advice. After the
fashion of the East they became en-
gagged and in due time there was
wedding that Chinatown will never
forget 1t was THE wedding of Chi
nat0wn.
"Other Woman" Strikes.
Somewhere, broOding and angry,
little yellow girl bit her bright red
lips and vowed vengeance. And just
as the wedding festivities were at their
merriest the police arrived. With
drawn billies and pistols they rushed
into the wedding house. Someone
had telephoned crime was being COM
mitted there. There was-the way the
other little yellow girl looked az it.
little Fannie" was blissfully igno-
rant Of the other little yellow girl.
Had she known Of her, she would have
been sorry, but it wasn't her fault.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-07-05

Neither was it the fault Of Doctor
Fong If he could not love another.
Doctor Fong wasn't the only one
who had sought the hand Of Little
Fannie" There was another, but he
hid his sorrow and wished Fannie only
happiness.
So 1t happened that one day there
came a letter to Fannie. It bore the
signature Of the disappointed one. It
spoke Of other trysts in the past and
asked for a renewal Of their Illicit
liaison. Fannie scornfully and indig-
nantly cast the letter aside.
The Unwritten Code.
That evening Doctor Fong found a
crumpled scrap Of paper. He read,
and without culver of expression
handed 1t to Fannie. Then he went
out.
Then Fannie remembered-the "un.
written CODE"
She went into her own pretty little
boudoir. She reached behind the orr
entail draperies for bottle. Five min
utCo Autci ouC Icy uCdu OA IuS DCu. SuS
had paid.
But the end is not yet. The dis
appointed sutton heard. Under the
unwritten code he was marked for
death, yet he went to the home Of dis
grace. He confronted Doctor Fong
and before him he laid a number of
documents. All bore his signature
and none were like the signature on
the letter. Then he offered undis-
puted proof that he was several hun
dred miles from San Francisco when
the letter was mailed. The writing
was in feminine hand and the "other
little yellow girl' had had her revenge.
There was funeral the next day
that Chinatown will never forget
Every shop was closed and a band
marched at the head Of the funeral
procession. All the tongs hung out
mourning banners. 1t was Chinatown's
way Of trying to right wrong.

THEIR PAST LIFE
THEIR OWN AFFAIR
cit Isn't What You Used to
Be" in Wyoming.

I cannot pick out and describe, even
in a line or two each, all those first
neighbors Of mine in Wyoming; fairly
distant neighbors most Of them. living
anyhere from five to forty mites away,
writes Struthers Burt in the Saturday
Evening Post.

mon desires and common traditions.
that distinguishes most cattle coun-
tries. In the case of my country, not
SO cosmopolitan as some others have
known.
There was, for instance, the hand
some son of great New York family,
who had been sent West because he
was thought to be drunkard. but who
developed-unlike most Of his fellow
remittance men-into the shrewdest
and most sober Of cattlemen; and there
was the son Of an American admiral
the rest Of whose family lived In Flor
ence; and there was an ex-policeman
from Pennsylvania who had shot
man justifiably but had decided to
emigrate; and there was the illegiti-
mate offspring Of race famous IN
New England; and Dodge. the Harvard
man; and another man whose talk
was of the toughest, but who occasion
ally let drop phrase astonishing In
it's delicacy and sureness Of education;
and there was the mysterious heir OF
q South African official, who had q
photograph Of two beautiful sisters.
These, and more like them. and then
q score of men whose real names and
stories were never known at all.
The heir of the South African Official
Is still in the country, and will be
there forever. He was shot a few
years ago by boy who had worked
for us, and the shooting was so neces-
sary that the boy was never even ar
rested.
The Boer, between whom and the
boy there had been bad blood for a
long while, rode over to the boys
ranch, announcing his intention Of
numbering him; and arriving at the
door, placed his horse between him
and the cabin and attempted to shoot
the boy and his wife through the win
dow.
A strange fellow this Boer, charm
ing, blue-eyed, curly-headed young man
with slight foreign lisp. He had been
a mounted policeman in the Canadian
Northwest and a top cowpuncher
everywhere, but he told me he had
once fallen and injured his head. and
I don't think he had ever got over the
injury, for he was undoubtedly insane
at moments.
He could never spend a night at a
ranch without taking something away
the next morning, and then you would
find the thing he had taken, up the
road where he had thrown it half an
hour later. One time was riding
with him through the fringe Of cotton
wood that bounds the ranch on the
south. He shifted the scented air.
"This always reminds me-" he said.
In his soft voice, "of bathrooms"

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets the SUBJ
stitute for calomei-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous Theselittle olive
colored tablets are the result of DIR.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quickly correct
it. Why cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take calomel.
Let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.
