Section 2 : Any Chinaman dying uuder this Act shall be buried •ix feet uuder ground. Section 3 : Any Chinaman who attempts to dig up another Chinaman's bones, shall fi it procure a license from the Secretary of State, for which ho shall j«ay four dollars. Section 4 : Any dead Chinaman who attempts to dig up his own bones, without giving due notice to the Secretary of State sh»U be fined one hundred dollars. Section 6 : Any Chinaman who shall be born without bones for the purpose of wilfully and felouiously evading the provisions of this Act, shall be fined five hundred dollaia.
After waiting four years a Michigan lorer finully popped the question, "Of course I'll hwe you «a> ibe rtply ; why, you 100 l you, vvt might have been marikd three yen.* ago!'
