A couple of years ago Yün-nan had practically no army none more than the military ragtags of the old school, whose chief weapon of war was the opium pipe. But now there are ten thousand troops not units on paper, but men in uniform well-drilled for the most part and of excellent physique, who could take the field at once.
And anybody can see that he's annoying Betsy Butterfly. I tell you, I want him chased away from here at once. For I'm of royal blood; and I'm not accustomed to go to parties with ragtags and bobtails. I'm a cousin of Buster Bumblebee, the Queen's son." Well, Chirpy Cricket tried hard not to laugh right in Joseph Bumble's face. "I'll see what I can do," Chirpy promised him.

There are a few Chinese only Buddhists, Taoists and other ragtags; although when the follower of the Prophet has his pigtail attached to the inside of his hat, as it not unusual when he goes out fully dressed, there is little difference between him and the Chinese.

"How much did he give?" "A rose noble, and a good pie out of the animal into the bargain." "And what did you do with the cart?"
"Your husband can't know anything of such ragtags," said Miss Greeby, looking at the beautiful, pale face, and wondering if she really had any suspicion that Pine was one of the crew she mentioned. "Oh, but Hubert does," answered Lady Agnes innocently. "He has met many of them when he has been out helping people.
