the School of Journalism, visited St.
Louis this month and while there was
assigned by the Post-Dispatch to get a
story on conditions in Hop Alley" the
Chinatown of St. Louis. Wongs story
was featured" in the Post-Dispatch the
following day. A picture of the young
reports. set in the middle of Chinese
lottery ticket two-columns wide, was
used as an illustration. His story was
prefaced by the following editors note:
"Hin Wong, Christianized Chinese
student in journalism at the University
of Missouri in Columbia, spent Saturday
in st. Louis, and ate his first meal of
Chinese dishes for several years. His
description of gambling and opium
orgies in Hop Alley to which only Chin
csc have intimate access, written by him
for the Post-Dispatch, follows"
Gambling In Full Swing.
Wongs story follows in part:
wherever the Chinese go they take
their bad habits with them. In Hop al
lev. the Chinatown of this city, there
were 40 gambling tables in operation
Saturday evening, when the laundry
men put off their weeks work and spent
their weeks earnings.
'In most of the rooms on Eighth
street where Chinese were gathered
there were opium utensils either for the
roomers themselves or for those who
went to visit them.
AT the gambling tables about $4,000
changed hands in one evening, was
told. Fan-tan and Pai-kan were the
games played.
I'm the fan-tan game, the proprietor
holds a number of buttons in cup.
Those who wish to bet put a sum of
money on a corner of a square board.
Each of the four corners on the board
represents number from one to four.
After the players have put their money
on the place or number they want to
play, the proprietor divides the buttons
into lots of four each, in the presence
of the players. If three buttons remain
the players on the third corner win the
amount they wagered. If only one but
ton remains, the first corner wins.
Opium Fiends Smoke in Bed.
I'm the rooms of opium users there
are always found many persons lyine
on the bed, as the pipes used are too
long for convenience while sitting in &

'The utensils necessary for an opium
smoker are a pipe in which the well
cooked opium is placed, lamp for cook

placed while cooking, and scratcher t.

THE CLIMBING WHEAT.

July wheat n up 10 sl.27 per bushel.
The bull king, Patten, Is jubilant, as
well he may be. He Ii estimated to
have made half million dollars In three
hours. Most anyone would be good
natursd for those wages.
The Associated press dispatches take
occasion to say that this increase In
the price Of the great staple 10 q ane
thing for the farmers. Perhaps. But
Il Is our opinion drawn from . fairly
extended and assuredly intimate OF
perience with farming, that the farm
ers have very little Of the great sta.
pie" left In their bens by the middle
Of July. A few Of them had the means
and nerve 20 let their wheat lie In

most occasion 10 rejoice over the raise
In wheat arc those who, on the tip
from Patten, bought wheat last fall,
stored II, and ~ now letting just
enough Of II loose to get rich without
breaking the market.
Meantime, the price Of -four, which
10 the price Of bread, has risen to due
measure with the wheat. And whether
tho farmer has or has not wheat TO
sell, the dweller In the city has al.
ways bread, to buy. Perhaps there Is
some connection between that last fact
and the activities Of Mr.. Psttsn-
