An Unwarrantable Kick

To the Editor of the mtm-Crixa Datty News."

Sm,—On Sunday, the 2ist instant, at 30 p.m, three schoolmates and I were alking on the Jessfield Road outside the College. While walking one of us spoke something about the manner and character of a certain foreigner. "Oh! " said I, "perhaps he is one of the clerks of a ccrtain company, and is somewhat like rascal." We were then so excited that we did not notice that there were two young foreigners of middle height in front of us. They were beardless—one of them had a brown mackintosh on the left arm. and a w: stick in the right hand, while the other had a cigarette in his mouth. Upon arriving at the bridge near the private garden owned by a Chinese, the latter suddenly turned back, came up and gave me a kick. I asked him for the reason, but he simply turned round and walked off without giving me a word.

Though the kick did not hurt me, yet I consider it on my part as a great insult and the doer brutal. It is the first time in my life that I received a kick from a foreigner, though I have witnessed mat We were so dazed by his cowardly action that we did not think of asking for h name. Hence we appeal to you, with the hope that the person in question on seeing this would be manly enough to write me a letter of apology or at least send me his card.

Thanking you for your valuable space, Tami, ete., rd April.
