Using card and his friend put it into
Chinese for him. Whether or not he
used the best grammar in the trans
lation is hard TO say, but at any rate
the circular worked like a charm.
The Irishman then went around to
all the Chinese laundries in New
York and Brooklyn, handed the own
er a copy of the hieroglyphics, and
tackled another copy up on the wall
over the laundryman's ironing board.
The coal firms business picked up
with a jump, and they soon had a
clientele of pig-tailed Celestials that
amazed the trade. In fact, the laun-
drymen of the two boroughs practi-
cally deserted the men who had pre-
viously supplied them with coal, but
would give no explanation as to why
the change was made.
For three years the Hibernian's
employers enjoyed a monopoly of this
coal supplying. The matter was dis
cussed on the floor of the Coal Ex-
change time and again, and finally a
quiet inquiry was instituted. A week
or two after the cat was out of the

Pulling the rickshaw, or pretty little
man carriage-for Japan does not
breed horses-is one of the great in
dustries of Japan. The "kurimaya,"
as the rickShaw coolie is called, is a
man whose legs are developed at the
cost of the rest of his body. His arms
are thin and laccid and his chest con-
tracted. The alternate fierce heat and
sudden chillings incident to his work
induce lung troubles, which he is daily
obliged to counterfeit. When his days
work is done he goes to the public
bath, and in the hot water takes the
swelling and pain out of his tired legs,
and the soreness from his chest.
These "kurimaya," who become
guides, philosophers and friends to the
foreigners, are an interesting set of
men, for the foreigner reacts on them.
They pick up foreign phrases and
take an interest in our affairs. After
the naval victory at Manila, whenever
the wife of a naval officer stopping in
Yokohama started downtown, there
was an unusual rush for the privilege
of drawing her. Generally the men,
unlike our cabbies, regard ~scrupulous-
ly one another's time for a fare, or
draw lots TO decide. 1t appeared that
the eagerness mentioned was alto
gether due to this indirect share this
lady had in the American victory.

the facts, and he bribed a Chinaman to
translate it for him.
When this was reported at the ex-
change, there was a great laugh at the
manner in which the young Irishman
had quietly gathered in the dollars.
Even the men who had lost customers
congratulated him on his enterprise,
and more than one bottle was opened
to celebrate the discovery.
He is still in the same business, but
no longer enjoys the monopoly. AS

The card was really that of a large
coal concern which some time ago
had for three years a monopoly of
the Chinese laundry trade in New

time was a young Brooklyn Irishman.
Quick witted and enterprising, he was
on the lookout for trade.
He had befriended a Chinese laun-

frequently had a laborious chat with
him. He supplied him with coal, and
one evening asked the laundryman II

moved a colored village FROM
piece of farm land, three.quarter
Of mile away TO the southern
outskirts, because he wanted ths
village site for growing hay anc
corn, aud the south suburbs were
too far out, he thought, ever to be
valuable as town lots. Now, neat
and substantial residences have
sprung up along the streets until
they have reached the colored vii
lage, and there is growing dispo-
sition to buy the cabins" in or
der to get the lots-the lots hav-
ing increased in value from 300 to
800 per cent.
Dat College and Walker streets

$3.50 but a short time ago, would

three times that amount. North.
east of town "Boxville' was foun-
ded far beyond the jurisdiction of
Marion. and the lots sold at from
$50 10 $75. Now, lots beyond
"Boxville" sell for from two to
four times that amount, aud Box
vile has her electric lights.
Other sections of the town kept
the step upward fairly we'll, and
the business blocks were changed
from wooden to brick structures.
And this was taking place be-
fore the mining enterprises came
in sight. This growth terminated
and waxed strong in and upon the
fact that Marion was a splendid
business center, with fine schools,
live churches, with their healthful
moral atmosphere, and a socisble,
