"As a Chinaman Saw Us"

and beliefs, as observed by the more or
less sympathetic eyes of visiting foreign
ers, perhaps nothing since the publica-
tion in 1882 of Mrs. Trollope's ''Domes-
tic Manners of the Americans is more
searching than recent work from the
pen of an anonymous Chinaman-'A AS
Chinaman Saw U.s. 1t purports to
be compilation from actual letters
written by Chinaman long resident in
America to a friend at home in his ma
tive country, and is unhampered by the
reserves that might affect work intend
ed originally for publication. The tone
is often one of restrained amusement,
and this is noticeable in the parts where
the writer comments on the number OF
different religions that he found here.
The fact, he remarks may be explained
on the ground that America was first
settled to supply room for religious liber
ty. He says further:
81 have seen many of the great West
crn nations and observed their religions.
My conclusion is that none make so gen
eral and united an attempt to be what
they consider good and moral as the
Americans; but the Americans scatter
their efforts like shots fired from gun,
and the result is a multiplicity of re-
ligiols beliefs beyond belief. l do not
forget that America was settled to afford
an asylum for religious belief, where men
could work out their salvation in peace.
If Americans would grant us the same
privilege and not send missionaries to
fight over us, all would be well. No one
can dispute the fact that Americans are
in earnest; the greater number believe
they are right; and that they possess
true zeal all China knows.
"The impression the convert in Chi
ma obtains is that the United States is
sort of paradise, where Christians live
in peace and happiness, loving one an
ether, doing good to those who ill-treat
them, turning the cheek to those who
strike them, etc. but the Chinaman soon
finds after landing in America that this
is often conspicuous by it's absence
These ideas are preached and doubtless
thousands follow them or attempt to
do so; but that they are common practices
of the people is not true. There is
great need Of Christian missions in Am
erica as well as in China. l told a
clergyman that our people believed the
Christian religion was very good for the
Americans. and we had no fault to find
with it, nor had we the temerity to in
snuate that our own way was superior.
The following statement reads almost
like passage from an American tract
on one of the topics Of current interest
church unifcatiOn:

one splendid church and devoting them
selves to the real ethics Of Christianity
these Christians have divided irrevOca-
bly,, and so lost strength and force They
are in a sense turned against themselves
and their religious colleges are gradual
ing men to perpetuate the differences.
No more splendid religion than that ex-
pounded by Christ could be imagined if
they would join hands and like the Con-
fucians, devote their attention not to
rites and theological differences, but to
the daily conduct Of men,"
The following paragraph continues the
subject with amplifications:
''The Americans have a saying, Take
care Of the pennies, and the dollars will
take care of themselves We believe
that in taking care of the morals of the
individual the nation will take care Of
itself took the liberty of commencing
this Confucian doctrine to a Methodist
brother, but he had never been allowed
to read the books of Confucius. They
are classed with those Of Mohammed,
Voltare and others. SO what can we
dc with such people, who have the con-
ceit of all the ages and the ignorance
of all time? Their great scholars see
their idiosyncrasies, and | can not begin
to describe them. One sect believe that
no one can be saved unless immersed in
water; others believe in sprinkling 9th
ers, as the Quakers, denounce all this as
mummery. One sect, the Shakers, will
have no marriages. Another believes
in having as many wives as they can sup
port-the MormOns. The Jews and
Quakers Oblige members to marry in the
society: in the latter instance the So
ciety is dying out, and the former from
constant intermarriage has resulted in
conspicuous and marked facial peculiari-
ties These different sects, instead OF
loving, despise one another. Episco-
palians look down upon the Methodists,
and the latter denounce the former be-
cause the priests sometimes smoke and
drink. The Unitarians are not regarded
well by the others, yet nearly all the
other bodies contain Unitarians, who for
business or other reasons do not ac-
knowledge the fact. A certain clergy
man would not admit Catholic priest
to his platform. All combine against
the poor jew"
The foregoing does not exhaust the an
omalies of the religions of THE Ameri-
cans discovered by the Celestial visitor.
In fact, he asserts that the deeper you
delve into these religions the more num-
erous are your discoveries of their an
omalous nature. Thus

attempt widened the rip in the can

whole leg shot through the canvas.

below. My finger-nails scratched and
clawed the rough surface. but of
course made little impression. They
simply kept me from slipping quite so
fast. Then l heard the steps of men
on the scaffolding. They let down a
rope that curled near my fingers, but
it was several seconds before | dared
to let go my hold on the canvas for a
sufficient time to grasp it.

scared and bewildered that l could not

could hear them laugh fit to split their
sides. / felt awfully shamed, and was
scared until my heart was in my
throat, for 1 expected the old man ev-

Il extricated my leg from the con-
founded hole just in time, for the old
lady looked into the kitchen from the
room door and asked what all that
noise was about. The girls put her off
as best they could and l went to bed,

I'VE soon went off into the land of
dreams with the hope of waking early.
l wish l could tell you my dreams, but
1t would take me too long. One mo-
ment l would fancy myself by the side
Of my Sadie, and the next l would be
flying from the old man, while he
would be flourishing his cane above
my head. This came to an end by
John giving me a kick.
"On waking up and looking around,
l saw Johns eyes as big as my fist,
while the sun was shining in at the
window.
What to do, we couldn't tell, for we
heard the old man having family pray
er in the kitchen.
John looked out of the window and
said we could get down over the
porch.

in the bed clothes, and out 1 tumbled,
head foremost, turned over, and down

ing with a brush, and was willing to
paint almost anything, from a portrait
to the sky piece in theater scenery"
And then he went on to tell the story
"One Of the public buildings in the
capital had a big dome, and on the
ceiling of the dome was a great deal
of elaborate painting that had become
dingy, and needed retouching. l was
pleased enough when l got the job of
doing it.
"They erected a staging for me to
work on-a fr%ail-looking affair, which
almost turned me sick when | arrived
with my outfit and stood in the ro-
tunda, looking up at the dome, a hun
dred and fifty feet above me.
"'I shall be so dizzy | can't hold a
brush said l to the carpenter.
"'Oh, that will be all right! said he.
We're going to spread a big canvas
under the staging, for the rotunda Is in
use all the time, and you'd be spot

less we had something to protect

81 felt relieved when I heard that,
and still more relieved when l had
climbed up into the dome and found
that the entire rotunda below was
hidden by a taut cloth which the work
men had stretched across.
81 had been at work nearly two days
when | began to get careless in step
ping round the staging. | suppose the
canvas below me gave me a feeling OF
comparative safety. About noon one
day | took a step backward to look up
at some drapery which | had just re-
painted. My foot touched only the
air, and | fell into the canvas.
There was a ripping and tearing
of cloth as l settled down into the
hollow. l lay there fiat on my back,
and looked round with an interest in
the quality and strength of the can
vas and the way in which it was fas-
tened that you may be sure was sin
cere.
'There was no doubt about the fas-
strength of the %fastenings; they were
of rope, tied round big knots In the
cloth, and strong enough to hold a
horse. But the canvas Itself was
frightfully thin, and was widowed
in spots. 1 turned over on my face
and found myself staring through a
rip down to the marble flooring of the
rotunda, a hundred feet below.
II was comfortable enough physical
". but mentally! Every time l moved
something would stretch and tear.

ter a time I heard answering shouts

have made Packing Town famous. The combined investment of the 100
firms within the yard is Owe $1OOOOOOOO.
Way back Is far as 1913 the Chicago saughtering industry was given
an impetus by the establishing of the "Od Bulls Head stock yards at
Madison street and Ogden avenue. 1t WI a great institution for the time
but was overshadowed in 1854 by the completion of a nw yard at State
and I'D streets In 1860 a half dozen stock yards weree established in various
parts of the city and the necessity for a union yard manifested itself, partc
ularly to the railroad interests. 1t was not until 1864, however, that the
Union Stock Yards and Transit Company was organized with a capital stock
OF S1ONOO0 A tenth of this sum was expended for 800 acreso of" worthless
marsh land' belonging to" Long John Wentworth. and it is on this meadow
that the greatest packing center in the world is located. The area has been
increased since to nearly 500 acres to meet the demands of the rapidly
growing enterprise.
Within this yard are twenty-five miles Of streets, forty miles of water
troughs, 5000 cattle pens, 5000 hog and sheep pens, and the enormous
buildings devoted to the killing and packing business. The present value

CHICAGO UNION STOCK YARDS,
"THE WORLDS BIGGEST BUTCHER SHOP"

1.-The worlds biggest butcher shop"
is the term frequently applied to the
Union Stock Yards Of Chicago, and a
study Of a few statistics will readily
demonstrate the reason In 1903 over
0 10000 carloads of live stock, valued
in round figures at $300,0OO,000 were
slaughtered within the precincts Of the
yards, or approximate to 90 per cent Of
the total receipts at all stock centers
in the country. Over $4O,0 900 was
distributed in wages to over $4,000
men employed in various capacities
about the yards. This vast volume Of
business is divided among nearly 100
firms. Many Of these, however, are
comparatively unknown to the coun-
try at large and are controlled by the
Armour company, Swift & Co., Nelson
Morris, the Cudahys, and Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger, the firms which

All day the toilers sigh for rest,
Nor find it anywhere.
The sun sinks in the darkling west,
And they forget their care;
Tired hands are folded on each breast;
The Lord hath heard their prayer!

Nor find it anywhere.

And soothes us

Or but an answered prayer?"
