Too Difficult For the Captain to Get the
Right End of His Name.
Captain Thomas S. Smith of East One
Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, who
is somewhat of a philologist, had an
amusing experience in trying to analyze
certain Chinese characters 1t appears
that when Chang Lee located his laun-
dry i'll Harlem, the captain was his first
customer. AS the acquaintance grew
Chang Lee strained the red tape laun-
dry laws and did not issue the usual
ticket to the captain, but called at his
apartment every Monday for his laun-
dry and returned it On Thursday in q
package marked with hieroglyphics.
"Is that my name?" asked the cap
tain of Chang as he pointed at the Chi
nese characters shortly after the laundry
delivery plan was inaugurated.
Eyes. He you name. See?"
The captain didn't see, but set at
work to do so, and for several weeks
studied the writing that Chang Lee
brought to him on each returning Thurs
day. He searched the libraries for such
Chinese literature and lexicons as they
held, examined laundry tickets and read
the signs in Mott street in the hope of
being able to learn how Chang Lees
characters conveyed the idea of the
name of Smith, but he made an utter
failure. Finally he decided to appeal to
Chang Lee.

lapndryman ON the occasion of his next

"Can you tell me how you get Smith
out of such a looking scrawl?"
''No, not Smith. He say Captain.

pointed at the characters, with an ex.
preston that showed surprise at the cap
tain's ignorance. New York Herald,
