me. You see / have to take chance
on every dish that comes along. as
must take the initiative in every dish
and not having plate and not wish

morsel whether it is to my taste or
not. A dish now and then reminds me
OF my materia medica days, castor oil
and all that; but as whole Chinese
chow is excellent.
As the sun isout today, am going
out to look about the town and take
some pictures. The Chinese streets
are so narrow and canopied over that

too many people crowding by to take

Notes From My Hakka District Trip.

Dear Mother and all:-You undoub-
You undoubted-
teldy know by this time that have left
Swallow on a bushes trip through the
Hakka Chinese Country, and that /
shall not return to Swallow for about
six weeks. left Swallow just week
ago to-day, and so far have had the
best of luck
certainly am having the experience
of my life travelling about by boat,
both small and large, by sedan chair,
and sometimes by foot. Needless to
say I am an object of great interest
to these Hakka people wherever I go,
as the majority of them have never
seen an European. Now for just
short sketch of my experience so far.
Kindly pardon the brevity of same as
| am writing under great difficulties,
| namely, am seated at high rough
Chinese table in sand and lime room
in Budda Temple with a small native
made lamp for light burning S. o. c..
| oiD. | am as hungry as lord, and
my cook is getting chow, consisting of
fried chicken. rice, soup, and what else
| he alone knows.
Well, l left Swallow at 200 p M
March 81, on board our good motor
boat Donald" taking with me two in
terpreters, one speaking English and
Swallow, and the other speaking Swato
| and Hakka dialects. AS am making
a tour Of the Hakka country, need a
man with me who can speak the Hakka
language. mentioned my cook above;
| brought him along of course to
do cook "pidgen" as well as "boy pid-
gen." Our baggage at present weighs
500 hundred pounds, so you can see
that we are "loaded for BEAR" and
have plenty of good "home side" chow.
This European food is for my own con-
sumption, as my STAG eat from the
country as we go along. Incidently I
have about 100 bottles of Mineral Soda
Water with me, and if you looked real
hard you might find a bottle of some
thing little stronger to go with it.
We arrived at Kit Yang, our first
objective point on the PAX Koi River
about 500 p. m. of the same day. |
did not have any business to transact
here but remained here over night,
sleeping aboard the Donald" The
next day, April FOOLS day, we left
Kit Yang at 900 p. m. for Tong Hang
20 miles up the same river AS the
water from Kit Yang to Tong Hang
was too shallow for the Donald" |
sent her back to Swallow. We were
unable to get chairs so we started out
to walk it. Old Father Sol was out
good and plenty SO we were all little
tagged when we arrived-Dinner is
ready so ''mang- mang" awhile-9:O0
p. m.-"Can-do," "Tso-tick" as express
sed in Swallow, for l have satisfactory
ly satisfied the inner man. Before
continue let me tell you what I had
for "chow."

bye to the children and was off again.
We started at $50 and after five
hours more mounta: n travel cr- we'd
at Sa Heung. Our representative here
has fine big, comfortable, clean hong
(shop), so I was overjoyed to be in
decent surroundings again. Had fine
Chinese chow with our man that even
ing, and a wonderful refreshing sleep
that night.
Left Sa Heung at 1000 m. on the
5th aboard a cargo boat, and after two
days steady polling up a swift stream,
we arrived at Hing Ling. Day after
tomorrow we return to Sa Heung,
but will have the current with US and
will be able to do it in one day.
Upon our arrival at Hing Ling last
night at $50 p. m. we were put up in
this temple by our representative here,
I mentioned what my chow vas to-
night on a previous page, so bar
ring any detail you have skeleton
of my moments since left Swallow.
realize that it is the detail and des-
criptions that would interest you most
you folks back there in the States, but
it is impossible for me to attempt to
give you anything but an outline. AS
my "boy" has my good old camp fold
ing bed (the kind | took to Goldfield
New, in 1907 all made up am going
to pound my ear" Just few hours
before l left Swallow, received over
twenty letters, so will have my hands
full when I return, about six weeks
| hence
I sincerely hope and trust that these
numerous idols in the temple here dc
not become animated tonight anc
wreck vengeance upon the Foreign
Devil (myself) or turn me out of bed
for I am in much need of sleep. II
passing before blowing out the light
permit me to say that of all the idols
about me the Queen of Heaven is some
Kid.

Written on the death of Mrs. Oscar
Simons of the town of Linwood who
died Jan. 7, 1916
Fold those dear hands, O, so gently
On that calm and quiet breast,
Close those eyes with loving fingers.
Our dear mother is now at rest.
Silently she passed away
From this world of pain and sorrow
To that land of endless day.
Let her memory be blessing,
Like lamp to guide you on.
Helping you to be patient,
AS the dear one who has gone.
God though all those years was near
her,
Helping her cross to bear.
Giving her loving promises,
Of the crown she soon would wear.
And remember how the Mother,
She who doeth all thing best,
Said, come weary, heavy laden.
Come, and will give you rest

lines on her death.
Mrs. Thomas Rein.
(Memoriam.)
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are
DER,
On the borderland we have left her
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of charges,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall find our missing loved ones
In our Fathers mansion fair.
