Show A story of the brighter side of the Mongolian character follows this in the same journal, as follows: Many of the representatives of our Chinese colony have risen considerably in the estimation of their American acquaintances since the fire. Some of them behaved in a manner that excited warm admiration. I heard of one Chinese servant ser-vant whose only thought during the earthquke was of one of the children of the family a little girl. He rushed into her room and carried her out. I heard of a Chinese cook whose mistress told him, after the fire, that she would have to discharge the second boy, and that she could not pay more than thirty dollars a month for a cook. He was receiving forty. He looked, at her indignantly indig-nantly and said, "Who say anything about money? If you want money I got some. You never mind kitchen. I take care my business," and he turned his back on his mistress and returned to the store. |
