An officer on the Western front told a London pressman this nice little tale of the Chinese coolies that have been employed in this district. "They had some sports last week, mostly composed of strange ceremonial dances with wooden weapons. A brass band.was set down to perform for them. We could not understand why all their plaudits were reserved for the trombones, two of which were included in the band. Their players were surrounded and separated from the rest of band by , a crowd of shouting, laughing . 'Chinks.' The puzzle was explained j to us by an interpreter. The coolies thought that it was a first-class con- j juring trick, and that each time the performer pulled in his hands he swallowed the disappearing part of the instrument."
