A Little Brown Man Who VIII Labor

a GlUti9 Brown Man w no VIII Labor
Only in a High-toned Family.
From the san Frdncisco Chronicle
The thousands of little brown men from
the Mikado's kingdom who honor this city
with their presence have made advertising
an art. They all want to work, and very
few OF them are particular what their labor
may be so long as it may give them oppor-
tunity to satisfy their only apparent ambi-
tion-to study
Centuries of servility and sertdom have
bred in the little men politeness that is
akin to obsequiousness, and they express it
as best they can do with the poor English
at their command. One is "a Japanese
good schoolboy who wants a situation To
stay for long time aud where he can get
school time" He speaks EnRish fuently,
at least he tries to say SO, and will give the
pleasure OF his company to whoever wishes
it at the rate Of s. a week Like his fell
10 VS., he Is industrious, studlous and ploi-
ding. and he will pore over his books for
hours. The ''go-d home" which he prefers
to high wages" will undoubtedly reap adj
vantage from his cultivated mind" and
entertaining conversation.
Another of his countrymen is "a gentle
and faithful waiter" with the best refer
ences, but he will work only 10 a small
family. Still another is the japanese nice
| boy, " who will cook breakfast and lunch,
but draws the line at dinner-in view Of the
fact, probably, that his employer may need
him to grace the board at the evening meal
Then there is the Japanese strong boy :"
who will wash the dishes for a consider
alton, and the Japanese young and ODE
dent boY,n Who wants a job anywhere
from a ranch to a saloon.
There are scores of japanese reliable
boys" who are devoted exclusively" to all
kinds of house cleaning, especially washing
windows at cents apiece, an alarming cut
on current rates very painful to the other
"devotees" in that particular branch OF
labor.
They are all honest, careful, mice" and
| hardly without exception Extensively "well
educated They will cook, wash, clean
and do all the various duties Of the house.
! They will clean salmons, milk cows make
candy, work as carpenters or on ranches,
and one particularly competent young man
| offers his obedience and services as drug
| Rist. Work i'll the laundry possesses no
power to brighten them and many even
will fight the temptation to study when
they are pressed to go into the fields as
| laborers.
In various parts of the city they have
established bureaus of Information and
employment offices where the unemployed
congregate and compare notes on English
composition.
Some, however, have been here long
enough, judging from their advertisements
| to become particular. A few have the fore
thought to declare. in addition to their
other qualifications that they have expert
ence and will work only In select families
One of them will take his chances only in q
"high-tonedn family. He fails TO explain
just what heightened family may be, but
he announces that he is the happy possessor
of a dress coat and good references; if any
body is seduced by that fact, the young
japanese will wait upon some "high-toned'
table for a consideration not to be revealed
! toithe public.
Another of his experienced fellows is we'll
educated and will go only into store or
| office, or, by strong effort in the direction
of self-sacrifce, into mice family" The
want" columns are filled with the curious
applications of the little men. Money with
them is no object, agreeable surroundings
all, and that is what they try to tell pros
pective employers, who probably have not
the slightest interest in the fact.
