She was then nothing but mass Of

The seven years Of her life had been

and her lungs produced respiration
sufficient to keep the body alive. These
physical attainments we're about all that
composed this wee bit Of life She had
never had vision Of the world about
her had never uttered or heard
sound.
At intervals she had been disturbed
in the deadness of her cradle existence
by having something thrust between her
lips. This had kept her alive.
II she knew anything at that time it

the darkness that had always prevailed
she had been bodily cared for. And she

She knows that there is day and
night that people live about her and
are tutoring her to overcome her unfor-

the makeup of the great world of ac-

beauty she will never see: that there
are birds whose music will never reach

any of the musical rhythm of this life,

application ,acquaint herself with almost

that she bids fair to achieve the higher
forms of education.

RICKSHAW MEN
OPPOSE CABLE CARS

When the Nippon Maru left Shang-
hal the foreign residents there were
preparing for trouble on wholesale
scale with the rickshaw men. The
rickshaw man for generations has en-
joyed monopoly of the passenger
transportation business in Shanghai.
He is about five thousand strong, so
competition is keen and he is com-
PEELED to hustle to make a living.
He is now threatened with extinction
by the cable car. A franchise has been
granted for a modern street car ser
vice. and the work of laying tracks
was to have been commenced shortly
after the Nippon's departure. The five
thousand rickshaw men formed a union
and signified their intention of oppos-
ing with their lives, if necessary, the
Introduction of the cars. They would
tear up the tracks, they said. They
made other threats.
The foreign residents want the cable
cars and have guaranteed protection
for the men engaged in installing the
system. At each foreign concession is
maintained an armed guard made up
of volunteers. These irregular troops
have been recruited to their full
strength and when the 5000 rickshaW
men turn themselves loose they Will
find themselves up against the citizen
soIdiery of as many nations as have
concessions in Shanghai The rick
shaw men say that cable cars viii
never be allowed to operate in Shang-
hal. The foreign residents say the
rickshaw men are mistaken.
I'VE expected when we arrived here,
said one of the Nippon's officers Ito
learn that Shanghai streets had been
running in blood. The rickshaw men
were in earnest and so were the for
eigners. and both sides were ready for

CAPT, BANABUSk DINED !.
BY EDITOR SnI0zAWA

Captain Hanabusa, of the Japanese
trainingship Anegawa, was the guest
of honor at dinner, a la Japanese,
given last evening by Mr.. c. Shiozawa,
editor and proprietor of the Hawaii
Shinpo, at his home in Pawaa. Be
sides the Captain there were present
a large number of officers of the Ane-
gawa, United States District Attorney
Breckons, DR.. Kobayashi, Mr.. Y. Akai
and others. The feast was elaborate
and was replete with ..banzais" toasted
to the Emperor, the Anegawa and the
United States. Mr.. Shiozawa was a
capital host and the feast was one
which will be long remembered by the
visiting warriors of the Sunset flag.
Addresses We're made by Captain
Hanabusa, Mr.. Breckons. Mr.. sShioza-
wa, Mr.. Taylor and various officers.
One officer said that there was no
possibility of a war between the Unit
ed States and Japan, as the japanese
held the United States in extremely
high regard, and the nation felt its
gratitude to the United States for the
moral backing it gave during the war
with Russia, ana ueSiueS lLdl, the o.
fices of President Roosevelt in estab-
fishing peace were not to be forgotten.
Many of the edibles placed before the
guests were cooked directly upon the
table over gas stoves, a novelty in
fuel which even attracted the atten-
ton of the Japanese.
Following the dinner geisha dances
We're given in the parlor by number
of winsome young maids of Japan.
