A CHINESE OBJECTION TO RAIL
ROADS.

An Americanized Chinaman, Chin
Gee Hee, is the protector, president
and engineer-in-chief Of a railroad
which has recently been opened in
the Hongkong ~hinterland. OF the
six locomotives used four were pur-
chased in the United States, the
others coming from Germany. The
president says his chief difficulty in
building the road was in overcoming
the obstinacy of the natives, who OPP
posed the work on the ground that
the smoke from the locomotives
would ruin their crops.

The countrymen regarded them as the
evil n in disguise.
One of the cars, coming to a toll
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened. The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth which
chartered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.

on as fast as you like; there's nothing
to pay."-Youth's Companion.
