Ladies Converted by a Chinese.

A lady and her companion were
obliged to spend a Sabbath on a

camp, they went to it and asked
the Chinaman if he would do some
washing for them. He replied, ''No,
me no work today" Her compan-
ion suggested that the lady lay
some money on the bundle. She
did this. The Chinaman, reaching
up to a shelf, drew from it a Bible
and said: me Chineman, you Mel
