“The guileless Chinaman was walking along the street, deeply immersed in a paper, and the anything but guileless street boy was around. He ties the Chinaman's pig-tail to the tail of a big dog who is gnawing a bone. Terrific struggle between dog and Chinaman, with the result that both tails are pulled off, and left on the ground as relics of the fight.”
