A JAPANESE
The Crafty Jinrikisha-Nnn Is II
Once the Bnne and Blessing
of Travellers.

Onoto Watanna. the gifted japanese
writer. writing of 1.-The Horseless Car
rage of Japan" gives this description
of the most picturesque laborer of her
native land: THE jinrikisha-man
waits at the street-corners and solic-
its fares. though this is contrary to
the exact police regulations. How
ever, the jinrikisha-man IS not always
as p%rincipled as he might be. and has
little, if any. regard for the police or
his regulations. He has no compunc.
ton whatever in overcharging the
scale Of fares set by the police, but as
a rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. The fare is
usually higgled over before riding,
and while they walk. and sometimes
great distances are covered before
terms have been reached. The jim
rikisha-man also generally unlawful
ly) demands drink-money, especially
when he is forced to wait at tea
houses or pleasure resorts on the
road. He is constantly being Sc. on
by the police for charging more than
agreed on threatening to put down
female customers unless his demands
are acceded to. A woman hiring a
vehicle. for instance. may sometimes
find herself within impossible walk
ing distance of any town or point.
and a surly man demanding extra
fare or threatening to dump her.
Counter-threats do not affect him.
Better pay and be done with it. How
ever. when you have melted his heart
with Il handful of sen he becomes a
friend worth having. It is true he
may spot YOU as being n whom it
is worth his while to keep in touch
with during your visit in the city. and
you will find it difficult to leave your
hotel without encountering him hard
by. approximately soliciting your
patronage. though on each and every
occasion he will call to you as though
yon were an utter stranger to him
ard he has never seen you before. or
does not appear to recognize you as
the person who tipped him so well the
