storm this evening. Dined with Dr. and Mrs. Luther Ander-
son.

November 12th.
Finished my Chinese article. Went with Dr. Tenney and Dr. Good-
rich to the afternoon session of the Tzucheng Yuan. Bought some
photographs and went to see Chun and Li Shang Ling of the
Peking Daily News.

November 13th.
Chun called early and together we went to see the Temple of
Heaven, one of the most beautiful places of interest about
Peking. Fine crisp morning and a glorious trip. Afterward went
to Temple of Agriculture and saw the place where the Emperor
(now the Prince Regent) annually plows sixteen furrows as a
tribute to the importance of agriculture.

In the afternoon Chun and I took a long walk on the
city wall, after which I called to see the Tenneys. Miss Shel-
don is especially attractive.

November 14th.
Called in the morning at the Imperial College of Languages
and met Mr. Alfred E. Kung, a descendant of Confucius (Kung Fut-
zu) of the seventy-fifth generation. He is a very attractive
young fellow, and my friend Dr. Anderson, says he has ambition,
ability, high character and wealth, and will make his mark. I
was delighted at his promise to write a scroll for me showing
my favorite Confusian text in Chinese. Sent the scroll up this
afternoon and he did it and returned it with a letter offering
me also a copy of Confucius in Chinese and English.
