into our office Monday and together
we started on a visit to Gee Sings to
see China New Year. One of the
Mongolians was going through some
contortions and antics in front of a
boiled chicken, three cups of gin and
five lighted candles, that were set on
the floor. We asked him what was
the cause of his performance and he
obligingly replied, "Joshee alice
same eatee. We supposed he re-
fered to Josh Billings and waited
anxiously for him to appear but the
Celestial was badly fooled or else lied
as Josh did not show up to partake
of the repast. They gave us a bite
of suspicious looking stuff which
they called "bunghoi, they also
some very fine "sushmateetoi' OF
which we did not partake. The
Chinese enjoy this holiday hugely,
after which they hit the pipe and 60 tC
bed. 1t generally lasts a week ol
two. Everybody get in and cele

advent of the wagon road and steam
