Chinese exclusion has it's advocates
on the Pacific coast chiefly among the
working classes. 1t is quite probable
that the majority Of the merchants,
manufacturers and farmers of the coast
would like to see more Chinese adj
mitted, as they are badly needed on the
farms, in factories and as household
servants. However. one or two we'll
known residents Of the coast are salts
fed to have a limited number of Chi
neSe in their midst"
One Of these is P. B.. Cornwall, a
lighting and Goa magnate of a
Francisco. The Cornwa,ls had a Chi
nese servan who had been with them
for years. He was highly esteemed for
his many virtues. Meek. thrifty. neat
and a good cook and a good general
servant. All Slow was almost n of
the family. Above all. was his econo-
my commended. One day All Slow an
nounced that he had saved up enough
to retire on, and, as is the custom of all
Chinese, he intended to go home to
China to end his days.
The Cornwall family was heartbroken.
They offered higher wages, but to no
avail. When the final day arrived he
prepared an especially fine luncheon as
a parting tribute to the household. His
baggage had gone ahead. Just in time
to get to the wharf i hack was sum-
moned, and All Slow was rushed off
amid a shower of blessings, n with
only a small parcel in his hand.
An hour later one of the Cornwall
household went ups airs. and noticed
that some small article of value was
missing from it's place. An investiga-
ton disclosed that every bit of jewelry
had sailed for the Orient, and a good
part Of the table silver had accom-
panied All Slow. too.-Exchange.
