Fjellman, Phone Supt. Winnetka 674-R 31T50-tfe CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our thanks to those who so kindly extended their love and sympathy to us during the illness and death of our husband and father, William C. Jochmann. We wish to thank the Royal Arcanum lodge for their devotion and sympathy shown their brother member. Mrs. Wm. C. Jochmann MANILA AND HONGKONG GIVE TOURIST A THRILL (Continued from page 19) Shops of Hongkong cept for a few thoroughfares Hong- kong streets march up-hill, and each shop is higher or lower than its neigh- bor. In a way we are reminded of certain streets in Naples. In these shops are everything to tempt the tourist. They are crowded with jades, jewels, curios, ivory work, shawls, silks, and drawn work. Olive-skinned dark-eyed Syrians vie with Chinese as shop-keepers but speak a better Eng- lish. But it's along the water front and the narrow streets reaching it like little rivers, that we see the real Chinese life. There are blocks of fish stores with seemingly more kinds of dried of than there are in the ocean, from the great cods to the little min- nows, and I saw a woman buy a hand- ful of the latter for a copper cent. People eat on the sidewalk and there are gambling houses every few feet. The Chinese are the greatest gamblers on earth, and the poor coolie will wager his day's toil in the hope of doubling it in some easier way. Shoe- makers ply their trade on the curb, and the great long-horned hump- backed oxen blink solemnly and pull their heavy loads. A coolie panted up the street with over 60 bricks sus- pended from his shoulders, and an- other brushed people aside with his 45 gallon empty tin cans. Pigs and Humans From the balconies flapped thou- sands of shirts and fabrics like flocks of scare-crows. A huge open market had every conceivable kind of flesh cut up in sizes from a penny's worth to a whole pig, and people carried their purchases away tied to a string but unwrapped. Twenty-five coolie girls passed along. Each with a burden of two heavy baskets filled with sand and building material, and, later, I saw the one motor truck, I have noticed, with a hundred baskets of material, and it moved fast and without effort. One Chinaman® followed me a whole block trying to entice me to his ship, up some dark narrow stairs, where he sold goods "welly cheap" and along came two men carrying a live pig. He was alive with feet in the ai helpless on the sagging ca squealing just the same. Fart some streets narrow down eight feet, and. pigs, chick animal life, live and breath same houses with humans. And up on the hills, along those classic levels, in homes like individual castles, white men live and look down in this Oriental existence, but as much separated as if by a continent. Another striking sight was. the sol- dier's barracks in the heart gf the city and the recruits practicing bayonet drill, sticking great bags of straw as they passed, while hundred of white- lipped Chinamen looked on in petrified astonishment, seemingly glad for the great iron fence that separated them from this handful of foreign devils. Yours truly, J. M. BROWN. IN MEMORIAM Funeral services for Mr. Caniff Fretz, Prudential Life Insurance agent who passed away suddenly, Thursday, Feb- ruary 12th, 1925, were held at Hebble- thwaite's chapel, Evanston, Saturday at 3 P. M, and were conducted by Mr. Holmes A. Shepard, First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Win- netka. The remains were taken to New Albany, Indiana, for burial. "Life! we have been long together, Through pleasant and through cloudy weather; 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twil cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning. Choose thine own time; Say not Good Night-- But in some brighter clime, Bid me Good Morning."
