MANY THAkks

Iwish through the Expositor,
to express my appreciation for the
kindness shown in many ways to
myself and family by neighbors
and friends when we were driven
out of our home by fire. Surely
such acts of brotherly love mean
whole lot in this life.

He Got His Car.

A Chinese general, with his seven
wives and small bodyguard, walked
into the station at Hardin as the
Vladivostok train was about to start
and demanded accommodation for
himself and party.
The Chinese Eastern, although q
Joint Russian Chinese property, is op-
Grated by the Russians in conjunction
with the Siberian railway.
The Russian station master con-
suited his watch, shrugged, and said
"Nilza," which is the Russian equiva-
lent for "it can't be DONE" He ex-
planned that the train was full and 1t
was leaving tiAe.
Without further parley the general
dispatched members of his bodyguard
to hold the train. One man clambered
into the locomotive and covered the
engineman with a revolver. Others
mounted guard on the car platforms.
Then the general ordered the sta
tionmaster to procure car "qui-qui,' -
which is Chinese for Instantly with.
out any back talk" on pain of very
serious consequences to himself.
Twenty minutes later the train
pulled out with the Chinese general
and his seven wives aboard in spa.
cious private car.

SaIoniki,

The city of Sa1onih had in normal
times a population of about 10000
to 10000. This has been increased
to about 100000 through the influx of
refugees from Serbia, European Tur-
key, Bulgaria and that part of Greek
Macedonia until recently in the hands
Of Bulgaria. During the last few
years the character of the population
has been steadily changing. The
Greek element has more than doubled
itself and at this time stands first in
numbers. Turks, formerly the most
numerous class, are now third in
rank and are steadily decreasing. The
Jewish population stands in second
place and is the most important COM
mercially. A mixture Of Bulgars,
Serbs and Roumanians and Russians
make up the remainder Of one Of the
most heterogeneous populations in the
world. Differences Of race, religion
and customs tend to make the COM
nercial developments of Saloniki slow.
