HAVE HIGH SENSE OF HONOR
Chicago Banker Pays Tribute to Chi.
nese for Their Thrift and Hon
esty in Business.
The manager of a Chicago savings
,bank made ar examination of his ac
‘eounts on racial lines and had the sur
prise of his life. He discovered that
about the most desirable customers
the bank had and the most profitable
were the Chinese. Their average bal
ance was far above the average of all
accounts. In fact, the Chinese came
pretty near to having the largest de
nosits of any patrons of the institu
tion, Moreover they were the easiest
of all to please, made the least com
piaint and never in the history of the
bank had there been a legal difficulty
over a Chinaman’s account.,
This is not surprising when you
come to consider it. No people have
a higher sense of honor than the Chi
nese. They will gamble till the cows
come home, and their ways are pe
culiar, but they are serupulously hon
est. For a Chinaman to die in debt
to anyone means that his relatives
myst and will assume the obligation
The Chinaman 1s a shrewd trader
but an honest one. You never see a
Chinese mendicant—never. You never
see a Chinese loafer. The Chinaman
{s not work-shy, never was and prob
ably never will be. He is peculiar in
more ways than Bret Harte had
mind, and in one particular, that of
thrift, it would be well if the white
man was peculiar also. ; |

BLOWN FROM 'GATOR’S MOUTK
Swimmer’s Presence of Mind Saved
Him From a Particularly
Horrible Death.
In the spring of 1889, when 1 wa:
learning how to grow and cure coffee
and pepper in the sultanate of Johore
writes a contributor to the Wide
World Magazine, the plantation man
ager and I one evening rowed acress
the river to a new clearing to see how
the work progressed. We wore our
swimming clothes, and as we drew
into the beach I dropped overboard.
1 had been swimming for a short
time when suddenly I was grasped by
‘v~ waist and flung into the air. The
next moment I discovered that I was
the prey of an alligator that had mis
judged its grip. When I fell back intc
the water the brute closed his jaws:
on my right leg and shook it as if try:
ing to wrench it off. .
The manager and the coolies came
running to the edge of the water, bul
the manager dared not use his rifle
lest he should shoot me, or launch the
boat lest my captor should carry me
off. 7
Suddenly an idea came to me. Bend
ing forward I pushed my right hano
into the alligator’s throat and groped
among the hot, soft folds of flesh.
Managing to get a grip on them, 1
pulled with all my strength. The flesh
in my hand hardened, then the brute
choked, gave a cough like a blast from
an air valve, and literally blev‘v me out
of his mouth. Needless to say I lost
no time in reaching the shore. My
right leg was so badly injured that I
could not stand, and the coolies had
to curry me to the manager’s bunga
low.

The party arrived in Columbus about

which preceded the convention.
The convention which opened to
day will close tomorrow and the At
