But M. Hamel regarded me without

master was wearing his handsome
green redingote. mis- fine plated frill,
and the skull-cap of embroidered
black silk which he usually wore only
on inspection-days or at the distribu-
ton of prizes. Furthermore, the whole
class was extraordinarily grave.
But what surprised me most was to
see at the end of the room, seated
upon the benches which usually stood
empty, the chief men of the village

wide open upon his knees, his huge
spectacles lying across the pages. an
old dogs-eared primer which he had
brought with him.
M. Hamel had taken his seat during
my astonished observation of all this.
and now said to us, in the same gen.
tie and grave voice with which he had
received me:
Children, this Is the last time ]

come from Berlin that nothing but
German is to be taught hereafter in

and how liberal they are with money.
These tales also are nearly all fakes.
Anyone who has ever seen real hop
joint" in Chinatown will never forget
the dirt and degradation of it, Some
of the weather. Chinese have apart
ments that are fitted up in flashy orr
entail style, and few of the gambling
houses are well furnished. Three or
four of the misunderstanding pat
ronized by sight-seers-are gaudy in
the extreme, but back behind all this,
back beyond the tunnels, in the
kitchens, the living quarters and up
under the roofs of the tottering old
buildings, exist squalor and misery
such as can scarce be found elsewhere
on this continent.
The pitiful story of Moy You and
Ngeu Fung, two little Chinese girls,
is enough to set the hand of all the
world against the slave traders of
Chinatown.
These girls were sold-it is believed
by the police-to Chinese slave trad
ers in. China and struggled into this
country. They fell into the clutches
of Chinese merchant of some means
in Chinatown and their tale of the
cruelties to which they were subject
ed was brought to the attention of the
Chinese charge d'affaires in Washing
ton. The girls are in the hands of the
Gerry society. They declare that
they were compelled to work 20 hours
day at cooking, cleaning, scrubbing
and covering button molds and that
they were beaten almost every day.
Reading of these Outrages the aver
age American wonders why the perpe-
traitors are not sent to prison, but ii
must be remembered that there are no
men more willy and skillful in con-
cocting false evidence than dishonest
Americanized Chinese. 1t is next to
impossible to obtain evidence against
the slave traders of Chinatown that
will stand in a court of justice. To
begin with any Chinese witness who
dares testify against one of his coun-
trymen in New York takes his life in
his hand. The boldness of the China
town slave trader is almost beyond
belief. When the police of the entire
country were searching for the MUIR
derer of Elsie Sigel no fewer than
three Chinese who were supposed to
know something of the crime were
murdered. When the police tried to
obtain evidence against men they
strongly suspected of the murders
they were baffled at every turn.
Capt. Calvin of the police depart
ment, who is in charge of the precinct
embracing Chinatown, has worked
hard to 'clean up" the place and drive
the white women out of it, but his
efforts have been of little avail. He
has come to the conclusion that the
town" needs cleaning out" instead
of cleaning up" and has recommend.

The Last Lesson
TOLD BY AN ALSATIAN CF1ILD)


I had been very late in going to
school on this particular morning, the
morning of the last class, and l was
much afraid of being scolded, the
more so as NJ. Hamel had told us he
would question us concerning the par
ticiples, about which l did not know
the first thing. For a moment / even
thought of playing truant and running
off across the fields.
| heard the blackbirds whistle in the
border of the wood, and the Prussians
drilling in the meadow down behind
the sawmill; the weather was so
warm, so clear, and all this was much
more attractive than the rule for par
ticiples! But l resisted the tempta-
ton and ran quickly to school.
AS l passed the Office of the mayor,
saw everybody collected before the
little bulletin-board; for two years
this bulletin-board had given us moth
ing but bad news-battles lost, requi-
sitions, orders of the administration.
We'll, what is it this timer" l asked
myself without pausing to find out.
But as ran across the public square,
Wachter, the blacksmith, who with
his apprentice was reading the plac-
ard, called to me: Don't hurry so,
youngster! You will get to school
soon enough" But | thought he was
merely making game of me, and pant
ing l entered M. Hamers little court
yard.
l counted upon gaining my seat un-
detected in the din that usually ac-
companied the opening of school-the
din of desks opening and shutting, of
the lessons, which we repeated loudly
together with our ears stopped, the
better to comprehend them, and the
rapping of the masters great ruler on
the tables as he called: "Silence!"
On this morning, however, all was
quiet as though it were Sunday
Through the open window l saw my
mates seated in their places, and NJ
