half that amount. The attorney finally,
after some negotiations, secured a set

said one Of them. There were two

was veteran in the dirt wagon line
and possessor of a good appetite,
would grab a mouthful of oats and
splutter them out on the ground on
his side Of the wheelbarrow. After
he had collected quite a pile on the
ground he commenced on the common
stock, and when he and his compan-

manner as those from other nations.

the Chinese and everything is being
done to make the treatment of Chinese
merchants less harsh. At the same time
he has made IL plain that further action
by Congress is necessary, although that
