ANCESTRAL DEBT
Chinese Credit Methods Posterity Will be Paid, but Not at Compound Interest. (From "Truth's" South Auckland Rep.) The reputation of John Chinaman for honest dealing has had a severe shaking m this Dominion, and particularly m the Auckland province, lately, owing to the number of Celestials who have left their creditors wailing. John is as inscrutable m his business dealings as m everything else he does. He is generally supposed to live on the proverbial "smell of an oil rag," but really — according to the writer's experience — John does himself exceedingly well, and if you dropped m on him casually at meal time, x you Avould probably find him regaling himself on roast duck, rich pork and many delicacies which the average European does not eat.
