BY ARTHUR (“BUGS”) BAER. Ching had the right dope. Ho’s back in China, where they scoff birds’ nests and pagodas. The right edge of a Mongolian almanac is considered some delicacy in Peking, and pickled buttonhales top the menu. That's where Ching’s pals have the edge on the food dukes, who don't know what to raise the price on because they can’t tell what a Chink is going to eat next. He’s liable to bounce from glass eyes to cowbells, and back again to the stuffing in Morris chairs, He's always one leap ahead. The Bluebeards who used to travel around New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, marrying innocent country girls and then croaking ‘em for the insurance, are old-fashioned birds now. There are slickers with store clothes and city ways still going around pulling the bigamy stuff, but they don’t marry their victims for the insurance prize. They marry ‘em for the rice that the bride's relatives toss at the wedding. The scoundrel gets a hatful of rice, eats hearty, wipes his chin and lights out for the next town, leaving the weeping bride alone in the world except for 673 relatives, who start 673 lawsuits to see who's going to pay for the rice. Great stuff! And you've got to hand Ching credit for being some magician. He not only trimmed the American food dukes, but he ts back home, where he can eat all day for a coin that has a hole in the middle of it. And when he goes west his friends pile his mausoleum with food, so that he will have enough chow to last him on his long, long journey. What could be sweeter? with butter?

The youth of America should refuse to marty these girls, This is the only way to show them that they do not know as much as they think, “Girls leaving American colleges,” said Mies Spungeon, “are not educated enough, They have only started their education.
