found the laundry lield crow ded, and
bis caoital v.ai too small for him to
consider the estabhshuiei.t of a grocery
fsboi ).
One Sunday Lee dined ot tho Chi
nese resttiuraui on Lower Pennsyl
vania avenue. Lee, who Las an in
rjuisitivo mind, iiuestioued the pro
prietor uboiit the source of supply for
the many queer vegetables auJ herbs
which form a part of every Cbiueso
riish, mi l learned that they all cuino
from Ht, Louis, two days distant by
rail from Washiugtua. None was
fi aifod nearer tho capital. Here wa
Lee's chance to invest his money, nud
Lo v.as (jtiiok to see it.
Tiie n-xt day Leo begati to visit tho
suburban districts in feu-eh of a suit
nble p'ae.; for his l'urui, utid after ft
week ho decided upou p. little four
bcrj tr.ict of land near Ti-ri a Cotbi Sta
tion 0:1 the iluh iiuore aa.i O'uio llail-
j roan, ns tno soot nest touted lor ins

u number of colore 1 farminji tenants,
bui he vvat niildiy surp'iscd when I.e.',
v.-.'.:, vn iiitcrpreter, for Lee sjjeaks lit
t0 r.n,r!i.'.ii, ealled upon hiiu "to lent
form." Mr. l.yaeU made the rent
1 ea.-onablc, .Did in nn hour I.eo was in
j os.-es?io!i of the farm. His entire,
outfit, a udo from his clothiupr, con
pisted 0!' 1 wo four gallon waterim? pots
und a yoke, piich as tho coolies in
China use for carrying burdens.
Lee got down to business at once.
The day after I19 took possessiou he
employed a colored man, who lives
near by, to plow up his little farm.
fseeds wire obtained from San Fran
cisco, and Lee worked oil day and
sometimes ou moonlight nights in his
little firm. Ceils were laid out in
regular checker-board fashion, and
with a hoe, borrowed from a neighbor,
Leo pulverized tho toil, carefully re
inoviug every stone.
At first tlieiowero many things to
contend with. I.ee did not uuder-l-taii'l
Uu uevv foil, and his tilf t crop
was a failure. Thou ho begun iutenr.e
furuita,', Large rju.v. titles of fer
tilizer!, .v. ro put 0,1 tho beds and a
iietvcroji was pl&u'.el. Every uioru
ing before the sun was up, Lee, with
his j-o'.o uii his in ek, wnt eri ug jiol r.-u
eacu side, waiered t.ie tender sprrtits
if green, winch wero just bursting;
ml of the ground. His water supply
was obtained from a ditch lot) yards
from the beds, and the opcintiou was
tedious. W.th the energy and per
feveianeo of his race, I.ee would plod
back and forth between the iliieli and
tiie beds until every plant on the place
was given its shun; of w ater. Again
iu the evening were the buds watered
by the siiu.0 slow process.
Finally Lee's unremitting toil he
ptiu to tell. Tiie crop, forced by for
t.Ii.crs and water, was even butler
tluiu the industrious owner had liojied
for. It n.iituiid rapidly and was
gathered and taken lo the city, where
lie received nu advance on til. Louis
juices for ii. t-ince then Leo has
gathered four croj.s, aud another is
ii'.w r.unly for tiio uiark.-f.
iu all Lee's fa! m ihei e is not u sin
gle plant which is known to hi neigh
bors, Wiio aro tiioi'oiighly nuiiiliar with
Aiiieriitiiti farming. X. in the railroad
tjero are half a dozen rows of what he
ra.i.- C'li-u j-'ok, or Chinese cabbage.
The jdaiit looks not unlike a huge
liirnij., but the tasbi is peouliar, hot
mid tdightly spicy. Uelow the cubboge
bed, s.ij.jnutei on slicks which lake
Ihe jdin-c of tr.-i is work, there are 11
number of rows of a j-iaeiii, a Inl'e
jrreeu goui dlike melon, whn h is much
fought uit.r by Chinese epicure?. Lee
has been parliciiliiriy sucees.-fiil iu
raising these, and they bring excellent
prices. I'.ii lher on tlicre aro melon--,
haid, (paeor sluiped things, a whithli
preen in color. They ripi u iu Novem

weigh as lunch aspixty pounds. YI1e.1
they ripeu these melons will bo the
first ever brought to Vashiiigtoii.
There are none raised, it is said, near-t-r
here than California.
On thu hillside, just ba.-k of the
barn, sev erul beds nre jdautcd w ith

nre black iu color, and havo ti sweet j

given sjnice iu the beds, uu.l tin y are j

Leo intend lo attempt the culiivu'liioi
of bamboo sprouts iu the dump iird
along the ditch. If bo succeed- I..-'
