that has occurred at least once TO
almost every visitor to this country.

their simpler methods of living. the

The little Japanese who can be

the rickshaw way of living is a sub
lect, | notice, that causes much CON

discussion goes on, | see that the
practice Is all confined TO the greatest

The rickshaw way of living, of
course, does not produce a long list

tertaining that seems always TO be
everywhere In this country.

"a true happening was the inspira'
ton of this song.
ON July q Brooklyn woman set out
for Ocean Grove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, a small at
fair, was missing. She thought 1t
had probably dropped on the thick,
soft dining.room rug, SO she wired to
the maid at home:
LET me know If you find anything
on rug in dining.room.'
"A few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
Dear Madam: was to let you
know II | found anything on the din
irg-room rug. This Is what l found
this morning: Three champagne corks,
is cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, SO burnt matches and n
