GOING ABOUT IN CHINA.
Sedan Chair in Crowded. Noisy
Streets of the Cities.

Canton Correspondence Denver Post
There but two ways to GO bout the
Chinese city-on foot in a sedan chair.
The streets from four to eight feet
wide. the average being probably about
six feet and wheeled vehicles are out of
the question. Even the iinrikisha cannot
be used here. If YOU try TO make your
way on foot the density Of the moving
masses renders progress almost impossible
and rowdies and pickpOckets are numer-
Gus. that the best plan is 10 take
responsible native guide and chairs.
These chairs are carried by two three
and sometimes four men. according To
the weight of the passenger. The two
bamboo poles by which the chair is sup
ported are about eighteen feet long and
are joined AT the front and rear ends
by a crosspiece. After you have taken
your seat the coolies raise the ends OF
the poles to their shoulders and are off
a. a dog trot. only Interrupted 10y
congestion II traffic, which occurs very
frequently.
1t is surprising To see how rapidly they
can go through the crowded street,; the
whole line OF chair carriers are yelling
all the time are the other people who
are carrying burdens, for there no
carts in the entire merchandise Gf
the city is transported in the same man
ner. not in chars. of course. but slung
on poles carried across the shoulders.
The noise resulting from the simuliane-
Gus shaiItin2 of every one in sight. both
in front and in the rear. for the stream
is flowing i'm both directions. ia enough
to make one wonder ii the long expected
riot has not heglIn.

he is. He learned 10 measure himself
with his fellows. Ia see what he could
do .and what they could do. and to judge
what things We're best worth doing.
THE best advert isement that the de-

ever had was the message to the Con-
gress by the President last Wednesday,.
He has learned the lessons and the coun-
try rings with applause for the man who
