The lamentable habit of Chinese

haunting living relatives with their

unprecedented migration next week of

The bodies of that many Cinnamon,

of only one Chinaman remains inferred

that of Willie Gee, who died sixteen
years ago.
His spirit has apparently failed to

that they might sen for the body yet.
Every few years the Chinese In the

Forth they step and march together,
forth the man and woman go.

And their work shall stand exalted and
their yes shall shine and glow
With the hope that led them on.
