A century old report describes marriage commerce in Tibet with prices for brides, noting tael payments, “number two wife” purchases, and large export of girls from Chung-ching to Han kow and Shanghai. It portrays wives reared by stock farmers, educated, claimed to be content and well treated, with many becoming respected in later life.

The tale recalls Jerome and Colonel Chadwick lobbying to borrow a fast horse for General Grant. A Washington butcher named Murphy yoked his cart to test the speed against Grant’s mount.
