. EOUD SNORES LEAD KUN'TO PRESIDENCY Romantic Story of Head of China's Government Is Told Shanghai, China, Jan. 4.—With the accession of Tsao Kun to the pre dency of China, the usual crop of fantastic stories purporting to ac- count for the rise of any notable figure has appeared, not the most fantastic being one obtained from native sources in Tsao's own province of Chill. According to this account, Tsao's enlistment and subsequent rapid ad- vance as a eoldler in the armies of the old Manchu dynasty would have been impossible but for his sonorous snores, Tsao, originally, was a cloth, mer- chant's apprentice, having been put in that service by a father noted for bis stern disposition, the story goes. Becoming proficient, he was provided with a barrow and stock of goods wherewith to make rounds among prospective buyers and chaffered keenly with the housewives.af neigh- voring villages. He was discontented with thiy prnuéc occupation, how- ever, and sought solace for the pangs it caused his adventurous spirit by engaging in escapades which failed to find his father's approval. The parent cast young Tsao adrift| and the lad, bethinking himself of a career which would supply his de- mand for activity and color, sought to enlist at a military camp not many miles from his home, He was re- Jected because of inability to provide a proper guarantor. Although de. sgpondent, he was determined not to return to his family and sheltered himself in a haystack, where he pres- ently fell asleep. ' An officer from the camp, strolling through the vicinity, heard the lusty evidences of Tsao's slumber and roused him unceremoniously. In re- sponse to the officer’s inquiry as to why such & robust young man should be sleeping, the, day away, Teao told his story of eviction from home and rejection by the recruiting officlals. The officer became interested, used influence to obtain the walving of the necessary guarantor in Tsao's place, and the youth enlisted. His rapld grasp of mlilitary matters impressed his superiors and a sensational mill- tary career, culminating in Tsao's ad- vancement to the highest ranks and elevation to the presidency, followed.
