THE ATLANTA GKOKOJaN .Ais 1) NEWS.
KH1DAV, MA\ 2, 1913.
Leader in Atlanta’s Oriental
Colony Brings Bride and
Optimistic Reports.
Lee tfrtnd. who went bark to Chirm
for a bridp, and took an active port
in the ret a bliphment of the republic,
has returned “home’’ with his wit
and said to-dav that “despite in^<M -
nad dli’senBions, the Chinese republic
will live, and in time the powers
fill be forced to recognize the new
Government.”
Hand is one of the most popular
young member?* of Atlanta's Chinese
colony and sixteen months ago when
be cro»sed ihe seas to wed he carried
with him the best wishes *of a host
of friends here. With his pretty
^oung bride he is to-day receiving the
congratulations of these well-wishers
"My wife.” said Lee, “has never
been to America before, and every
thing is so new to her. She couldn’t
help but wonder at the great cities
through which we passed.”
T^ee Hand went to China last year
primarily to bring back his bride. Th“
revolution was then in its inception.
He made hundreds of speeches in be
half of the rebels’ cause and at otic
time w T as enlisted as a soldier. A well
educated man, a fluent talker and in
spired by his Intimate knowledge of
the American republic. Hand was an
. effective worker in the establishment
pf rule by the people.
Was Nearly Mobbed.
“I was not the only Chinese from
America who went over there and
made speeches,” said Hand. “The
American influence is what really
brought the revolution to a success
ful culmination; there were a largo
number of us and u r e made speeches
day and night. We told them about
this country and what a free gov
ernment had done for it, and they be
lieved us. I thought I was going to
he mobbed more than once, but niari
nged always to get out of the tight
places.
“The republic will live, it is bound
to, because it is founded substantially
.upon the principles of the American
Government. Young men are behind
the movement and they ar^ inspired
by the greatne** of America. And
every year the number who come here
to study is increased.
“The industrial growth of China 1?
lust now beginning. Lack of rail
roads has always been the great
drawback. It is surprising how much
building is going on. And the Chi
nese are building these roads them
selves. They have American archi
tects and engineers, but it Is Chi
nese money and the Chinese will con
trol the roads.
Awakens to Possibilities.
“Another awakening that holds
hope for tlm future Is the beginning
of the mining industry. The country
1s rich in gold, iron and other min
erals and they have lain idle. Just
within two year? have any real steps
been taken.
“China is a large country, but it is
crowded. The reason for this ,is that
the people have been scattered over
wide territory', their villages spread
ing out and leaving practically no
land to be cultivated. There has never
been any economy of space, but the
movement has already started and
ihe towns ar° being made compact.
I firmly believe that agriculture is
the salvation of the republic.
“China has to import too much of
her food stuff*’. They are high and
wages have been so low that the
poorer classes have suffered. That
io iny mind accounts for the famines
that burden the country every year.
' “Yeun Shai Kat, the new Presi
dent of the republic, is a strong man.
He believes in American policies of
government and is quick to apply new
ideas when he sees they will suit
conditions there.’
v Hand is preparing himself to stand
examinations to enter the United
States Government service as an in
terpreter.

Flim-Flamming
The Restaurant.
A young, well-groomed chap en-
tezled one of the restaurants the other
day a place where the waiter hands
you a check for your meal # and you
pay the cauhier.
He selected a table well toward the
rear and ordered largely. 'Hug meal
over, he topped it off w itn a cigar and 1
called for bis check.
Ath • waiter nade it out another
young fellow Iui.t.i 1 in and sat down
by the first.
“Cup of coffee .and a slice of pie,”
he told the waiter. “And hurry. I’ve
got to catch a tar.”
The coffee and pie arrived and the
youth arose and went to the cashier,
where he laid down the check for
fifteen cents, a dime anti a nickel
and walked out.
Finishing his coffee and pie, the
other picked up his check and also
went to the cashier He laid down
a quarter and waited for his change.
“Excuse me,” said the cashier.
“Your check is for $3.25.”
There was a protest; the youth
claimed he only had coffee ad pie.
The waiter, called, confirmed this.
The youth got his change and left.
And a little way down the street
the two youths met.
“All right. Bill,” said \hc of the
plutocratic feast. "It’s your turn now
for the big eats.”
And they went along seeking an
other restaurant
Don’t Be Haughty
In Rainy Weather.
There’s such a thing as overdoing
haughtiness. Not long ago during a
heavy rain a well dressed woman
found herself caught n the middle of
a downpour in a part of town where
there was a good deal of mud on the
street. She came to a crossing where
a hoard had been i; id to bridge the
flood and mud.
As she lifted her skirts to
cross, her purse fell, all unnoticed,
into the torrent. It was rescued by a
man who had been standing under a
shelter at the corner.
“Lady—” he began, a;; he reached
out and touched her on the shoulder.
“Sir!” She turned on him. “How
dare you?”
“Oh, very well,” said the man audi
bly.
And in full view of everybody he
calmly tossed the purse back into the
gutter and went his way.

expected to turn out in full force at
the Metropolitan Opera House to

was during any opera season.
For the first time in the history
of the Mutual Musical Protective Un

take part in the pageant with them.
All of the participants have been ful
ly rehearsed and only await their
cues to venture forth upon the stage.
Among the women who have vol
unteered to make up part of the suf
frage orchestra is Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr.
Roosevelts Take Star Part.
The audience will be a brilliant one.

two boxes, and Mrs. Theodore Roose

McCormick will entertain a box par
ty from Boston. Miss Alice Paul and
Miss Lucy Burns will be hostesses
