There Would Always be More Chinks

In San Francisco a Japanese got to talking to a Chinaman, and was doing his best to make the Chinaman mad.

"Three days ago in the battle," said the Jap, "they kill ten thousand Chinese, and only one hundred Japanese."

A look of apparent pleasure lighted the Chinaman's face, as he smiled slightly and said-

"Nice.tt

The Jap didn't know what to think. So he bristled up a little and declared in louder tones:

"Two days ago in big battle they killed twenty thousand Chinese, and only two hundred Japanese."

The smile on the Chink's face grew a little brighter, as he answered- ttNice."

Now the Jap was getting mad, himself. He said:

"Yesterday in great battle, they kill one hundred thousand Chinese, and only one thousand Japanese."

This time a broad grin spread over the face of the Chink, as he said-

"Ah! Nice!"

"What do you mean by nice?" asked the enraged Jap. "Plitty soon," said the grinning Chink, "NO MORE JAPANESE."
