lies are faithful to each other

their parents as long as they live.
Confucius had such reversncS for
his mother that he mournsd for
her for three years when she
died. How many sons do that in
this Christian country. Of course
they have some race traits and
customs that seem very bad to
US, but they are not malicious
nor selfish nor are they revenge
full unless wrought up to 1T by
bad treatment. Our Christian
people massacred 200 of them out
West few years ago for no crime
but because they were in the way
and wanted work and accepted
it at less wages. Who ever saw a
more harmless. industrious peo-
pie than those scattered China
men who are found In almost
every town and village in this
country. For 80 years | have OBJ
served them in my travels from
Virginia to Texas and never
heard a complaint. Betting and
gambling is q national amuse-
ment, but it is on a limited scale
and makes nobody rich or poor.

General John G. Breckinridge
but once. and that was at faro
bank in Richmond during the
war. Colonel Towers took me in
there to show me how the thing
was done and 10 0ur surprise
Breckenridge was doing it.
But the great crime against
China was the introduction of
opium from Iudia by the English,
This began in 1910, and In 1928
had gotten up to 1000 chests. In
vain and In vain did the emperor
and HE ceunsellers protest and
plead. They saw that the opium
habit was spreading and running
their people. In 1888 it had IN
creased to $4,000 chests, and it's
importation was stopped by force
of arms-and 81, 900 chests were
seized and destroyed. This
brought on a war and the Chi
nese government had to pay $21, =
100000 for the opium destroy ed ,
for it's value was $1,000 a chest.
Then a treaty was patched up
and the opium business increased
to $4,000, chests In 1860. / wonder

merchants now pay duty, but
that amounts to several millions
of dollars annually. What will

themselves with their inauimate cOmpan-

teeth Of the skeleton was d cigarette, and
a Derby hat adorned its shining skull.
