OF Whom are YOU Thinking!

A man may part you from your coin
In various kinds of ways,
And the more he gets, the better,
In these gilded, golden days,
But the man who gets the ribbon
Borrows your coin and never pays.
You have met him to your sorrow-
He is always neat and trim;
There is class to his demeanor
That his hard luck" cannot dim;
He makes you feel in duty bound
To split your hoard with him.
Your clothes are old and shabby,
His attire is bright and new;
He has languishing admirers,
Who would never look at you.
He tells them you're a 5aybird-
He could prove It to them, too!

Men have suffered on the rack!
For arson, treason, piracy
Men have heard the leg-bars clacK'

LIKE TALES OF THE PIRATES
Are Stories of Louisiana ArChipel-
ago, Where Many Are Held Pris-
Oners by Bold Chinese.

NEW ORLEANS.-Co of
alleged peonage and slavery border
ing on feudalism and conducted by
wealthy Chinese in and around Bar
ataria Bay, in southern Louisiana,
have been unearthed by secret agents
of the department of justice, who
with the assistance of a United States
deputy marshal yesterday brought to
this city one Chinese prisoner, Lee
Chong, who conducts a fishing enter
prise on the islands, with which there
is no communication except by boat.
Many of the witnesses who were
brought here yesterday say they have
been held practically prisoners by
the Chinese for months. They say
they were made alluring promises
to induce them to go to the place.
Upon their arrival each purchased"
mosquito bar and a mattress, for
which they were charged exhobitant
prices. Shortly after their arrival
they discovered that their meager
rations Of beans and rice were charg-
ed against their account.
They worked all day in all sorts
of weather up TO their armpits SEM
ing for shrimp. Not enough were
caught to square their accounts with
their Chinese bosses, consequently
they worked only for their daily
rations. They were unable to buy
passage on passing boats, the cap
tains refusing to take them aboard
without money Their bunk houses,
erected on a piling over the waters
Of the bay, were bare of the ordinary
comforts and, surrounded by the wa
ters of the bay, made their escape
impossible.
Many tales of strange murders in
this section have reached New Or
leans; queer stories of Oriental JUS
tice, bloody quarreIs, vengeance and
knift thrusts likened to the tales of
pirate LaFitte and his men who once
infested the same archipelago were
related. The smuggling of opium by
Chinese has long been suspected by
the immigration officials, but the
inaccessibility Of the region has here
totore prevented systematic search
and investigation.
The matter was first reported to
the federal officials by President
Frank M. Miller of the state fish and
game commission, who rescued two
laborers and sent them to this city.
