Nevertheless the inhabitants Of
PEBBLES love their home. They are an
odd people, o people gifted with the
power Of saying amusing, memorabl
things.
AN old PEBBLES sheep raiser once got
together little money, and made a
journey to Paris. Paris, he had heard,

ful city I'm the world. Therefore he

Then he said, rubbing his chin with a
reflective look:

UnCle Sans Growing Trade M Orient


~HE increase Of the foreign trade
Of China has been marked IN
recent years, and IN the opin-
ION OF the Rev. Or Arthur j.
Brown OF the Presbyteuau board OF
foreign missions. Is likely TO play an
important part In changing the attitude
OF the Chinese towards the western
peoples. DIR, Brown made careful
study of the subject during his recent
trip around the world and talks inter-
estlngly OF The Chinese foreign trade
and Of the part enjoyed In IT by the
United States, Year by year, he says,
this foreign trade has increased, with
the exception Of the zine Of the Boxer
outbreak In 1899 the total foreign
trade had reached lGO,0OO0OO taels Ga
halk-wan tael equals SO cents in Amari-
can currency. I'm 1900, Boxer year, Il
dropped to 10000 600 taels, but the f0l-
lowing year IL sprang TO ABS 100000 tuels.
and In the two following years n adj
vanced i0OO0O.000 taels.
The share Of the United States ln this
business Is larger than az first appears.
because no inconsidorable part of our
trade goes TO China by way OF Eng-
land ana Hongkong, and Is credited TO
British totals. But American trade with
China has vastly increased since 1900.
Wa now sell tina Chinese more cotton
