Jim Lung, an El Paso Chinaman,
Talks of Earl Li and the Devil
My Chinese friend deposited a
smoking sirloin on the white cloth
in front of me. He stood aside with
arms akimbo as if anxious to com-
municate some important information,
it was 1 o’clock in the morning and
his eyes glittered with true celestial
light.
"You belly the news?” he asked
with some hesitation.
"What news':1’ I answered, burying
a dull knife in the juicy beef, and
calling with some indifference for a
cellar of salt, and a chip of butter.
Jim Lung was interested in his
own thoughts. I passed over his lack
of haste to fill my orders and repeated
my question in answer to his own.
"What news?” I asked.
“Oh, he news gone all over de Mel-
lican country about Li Ilung Chang.
Him de big Chinaman. Him dead
velly short time ago. Iiig man.”
"Who in the devil was Li Hung
Chang?’,’ I queried, feigning ignorance
of the great statesman of the Orient
whose light had flickered and melted
into the eternal darkness.
“You no know Li Hung Chang?
Him velly big man in Chiny—alle
same de king. Heap big. Him make
lots money, but Chiny people no likee
muchee. Rob all de people. Chiny
boys go out in de fields all same where
rice grows. Dey find gold heap
plenty. All ober de ground heap yel-
low gold all sarnee Slipple Cleek.
Chiny boys got velly excited. Quit
laising glain in de lice fields. All
went digging gold. Hut what you
suppose Li Hung Chang did? iie told
ail de Chiny boys de glound done be-
long him and de king. He own ail de
countly. He make all de peoples give
him some of their money.”
“Chinamen didn't like Li, then?"
“Like him? No!" and Jim Lung
spoke in a strangely scornful man-
ner.
“But him velly gloat, man; all
samco de king. Him de only man
ever get de yellow jacket from
Kwang Su.”
“And what is a yellow jacket, Jim?”
“You no know that?”
“No; what is it?”
“Well, de king like Li Hung Chang
muchee. muchee, see? He fell tell
him, ‘Id. I give you do yellow jacket
all saraee no other Chiny boy. Now
be good.’ See?”
“What did Li do witli it?”
“Wore it velly long time; but de—
de—all sarnee what Meliieans calls
de queen—de queen got mad and
took it away. But Li heap smart
Chiny boy and get it back aglain.
See?”
“I just got a Chiny paper say Li

wid—wid—allee sarnee what Mohi-
cans say de devil. Now de F.mprur

"Sure. Devil him get ail Chiny

“Aren’t the men down there always
trying to break in the ice chest?” I
asked.
Jim was pv.z7.led for a moment;
then a smile of Celestial wisdom
stole down from the roots of his
queue and played across his yellow
face.
"Oh, ice chest! Oh, all samee le-
digeator! No, de devil no let dem
break in. He keeps de mans and
womans heap part, one cold, other

“When the men and women have

for the purpose of being examined,
what haiipens when the devil finds

“Dey go heaven, all samee Melii-

"Do you believe that, .Tim?”
"Sure. Why, a Chiny boy in my

He stayed dead one day. Den de
devil sent him back. He told de
peoples all about it. He said de devil
told him come back and live two years
more, and then he would call for him."
“Did the devil keep his word?”
“Sure. De velly day de devil say
him coming, him come. Dat Chiny

dat?"
The sirloin was but a reminder of
its former knightly self, so I laughed
nt Jim Lung, and tossed a coin into
bis white apron.
“You find out all bout de devil

the door closed.
CHICAGO ECLIPSED.
Heavy Fog Causes Confusion and Dis-
aster in the Windy City.
Chicago, Nov. 19.—A heavy fog
caused numerous accidents here early
today. In a collision between two
Metropolitan elevated trains one per-
son was kilied and twelve injured.
Other collisions were reported on
tlie elevated roads, but in these none
were seriously injured.
People standing on the sidewalks
could scarcely see passing vehicles,
and the street cars kept their gongs
clanging continually.
The Metropolitan elevated collision
was between a train carrying factory
workers and an express train. The
killed is Thomas Meaney, 18 years of
ace, who was standing on the rear
platform of the first train, who was
crushed to death.
The factory train was waiting at the
.'.dams street curve for a signal to
| proceed when the express train hit it,
1 The accident on the Lake street ele-
vated was almost exactly similar to
that, on the Metropolitan.
| A rear end collision between a Lake
Shore and Rook Island suburban train
occurred at Thirty-third street. No
one was injured.
The train of which Otto Lcinhart
! was conductor was overtaken on the
; Metropolitan road by another train.
| Reinhart heroically stayed on the rear
! platform of the car. waiving a signal
! lantern, and was crushed to death.
In all there were nine collisions on
the elevated structures.
The local bar was well represented.
Contrary to expectations a jury was
quickly obtained and a full panel was
secured by 13 o'clock. At two in the
afternoon, after the noon recess. Tom
Hall was placed in the witness chair.
Tom Hall is a powerfully built man
and he and his dead brother were
twins. The two were on the most in-
timate terms and largely interested in
business together. Their relations
were not unit- that of brothers, hut.
also closest of comrades, and the death
of Ills brother Boh was a severe blow
to Tom, who is stopping at no expense
in securing counsel and proper evi-
dence for the conviction of the man
who sent his brother to an early grave.
Yesterday on the witness stand, in
response to questions asked by the
counsel for the state, when he describ-
ed* the shooting and death of his
brother, his strong frame shook with
“motion and later he broke completely
down and wept like a child, livery
one in the court room was visibly af-
fected and several left the court room

out on the plains; that the night be-
fore the killing Seeley joined them; |
how they were till silting around the
fire after the noon meal, when Bob,
Hall said to Seeley: “1 understand j
that you and that man Stetson have !
been offered $500 to have me indicted
by the grand jury for killing XI)
horses. Now. you know that the only
XD horse 1 ever killed was the one
gray mare over theta on the hill’’
(pointing in a northeasterly direc-
tion); that thereupon Seeley arose
from a sitting posture and fired on
Bob Hail, turned around and fired at
Paul Herring and then mounted his
horse, making good his escape.
The attorneys are attempting to
prove self-defense, and Seeley’s liberty
depends upon the fact whether or not
Bob Hall picked up a long iron bar
and was advancing toward Seeley
when tin' latter fired. At the last
trial evidence was introduced that
some time ago had blood existed be-
tween the two and that on one occa-
sion Hall had struck Seeley with a
rock. Seeley’s testimony was to the
effect that before he fired the fatal
shot Hall had picked up the iron,
which was about a quarter of an inch
wide anti seven or eight feet long, and
that he fired in self-defense. In his
testimony yesterday Tom Hall, upon I
being questioned, said that there was1;
such tin iron in camp and that it was 1
near his brother when Seeley shot
him, but that he did not see him pick
it up. He could not be shaken in his
testimony that Seeley shot him while :

five minutes later tne pain had dis-

Modest Womanhood
A becoming modesty keeps many afflicted women from consulting a doctor about female diseases
and the fear of an unnecessary surgical operation keeps many others away. In this way the poor suf-
fering woman who longs for relief but shrinks from seeking it, gives up in despair. But hundreds of
thousands of women in this country to-day, like Mrs. Steele, know that there is no need of t^ivin
up—that there is a positive home cure for female diseases within the reach of every rr.odcst woman.
WINEof CARDUI
made life worth living for Mrs. Steele, when the best doctors in Illinois could not help her without
an operation from which she recoiled with horror. If you arc despondent, suffering female ills and
bearing pain, go to your druggist and buy a bottle of Wine of Cardui. It will relieve you.
Peoria, III., April 5, 1901.
I have been a sufferer every month since I have been a woman and have been treated by the best doctors and
found no relief. The last doctor wanted me to go to the hospital and have mv ovaries removed, he said: “This
is the only remedy I can see for you, Mrs. Steele.” “No, no, I will not," I said. Then I found a Ladies’ Birthday
Almanac and this is the way 1 found relief and I am not butchered up by the doctor. I don’t wait for my woman
friends to see your advertisement, but I go and tell them. I can’t speak good enough (or this wonderful Wine of
Cardui. I am a strong woman and do all my work and ride my bicycle. I send word to ladies I hear are suffering
and I saved one lady from losing her baby by giving her Wine of Cardui Mrs. B. M. STEELE.
