contingency the insurgent vote would
be sufficient to make his election i'm
possible in the event the caucus Of his
party should vote in his favor. If the
democrats should be in power, it still
remains that Mr.. cannon might be
honored with the nomination of his
party, and that he would accept. it

Dictionary for the Blind.

A notable achievement for the bene
fit of the blind is the first French Ger
man dictionary printed in Braille type
This work demanded an extraordinary
amount of minute and laborious preci
sion and was carried out by Herr Kari
Stakeholder, who is himself blind, al
the printing works of the Vienna Insti
tute for the Education of the Blind.
1t is the well known Langenscheidt
dictionary which has been put into
Braille type. The main difficulty was
that In order to economic space the
work had to be printed in what IS
known as the abbreviated type, which
in France Is different from the system
followed In Germany, and called for an
intimate knowledge of both systems on
the part of the translator.
Even with the use of the abbreviated
type the work consists of FIVE ponder.
Gus folio volumes. Among the frat
orders for the new work was one from

Toxic and Hiogo was in the modified
perambulator which Is known all over
the world as the rickshaw.
There are a number of versions OF
Its invention and to whom credit
should be given for 1t. The Japanese
themselves claim It for paralytic old
gentleman of Kyoto, who some time
before 1868, finding his palanqin un-
comfortable took to a little cart in
stead. The usual foreign account
adopted by Mr.. Black, the author of
Young Japan" is that an American
named Goble. half cobbler and half
missionary, was the person to suggest
the idea of a glorified go-cart some
where about 1867.
The first official application to be al
lowed to manufacture rickshaws was,
however. made in 1870. They were soon
being turned out in hundreds and thou
sands, for the middle class Japanese
found 1t cheap and comfortable way
of travelling long or short distances
and there was an inexhaustible supply
Of men eager to turn themselves into
beasts of burden In order to earn the
high wages which the employment
brought them. Curiously enough.
though elsewhere the thing is called a
rickshaw, in japan 1t generally goes by
the name jinrih.

word which Is jin-riki-sha, meaning lit.

cart pulled by man. Sometimes you
hear kuruma used as an equivalent,
and that is a Japaning of the Chinese
syllable sha. Kuruma-ya is rickshaw
puller and you would call It out In
japan when you wanted rickshaw,
just as we called hanson" In the days
when the hanson had not been driven
off the ranks by the taxicab.

Of this nymph of the trees. He
knocked at the door and was met by
an angular, hard-worked woman with
a wisp of hair twisted tight In the
back and ragged, not too tidy, gown.
These seemed to be her distinctive
points. Could this be the mother OF
his divinity? The woman looked at
him suspiciously-he must say some
thing. He asked for the usual drink
Of water. She brought It to him in a
tin dipper and waited. He asked IL
he might have some of the flowers
that grew by the walk
"Them's my daughters" the woman
said. She'll be here come supper
time"
May stay for supper" Richard
asked. I'm hungry-I'll pay what
It's worth"
The woman said Yes" and went
about her work, leaving him sitting
on the front steps. He sat somewhat
uncomfortably and waited for the
daughter-he, Richard Dudley, erst-
while woman hater.
In an hour by the clock the daugh-
ter came. The mother caught sight
of her from afar. There she is" she
said laconically.
Richard strained his eyes. But II
was not she-it was only a smaller
edition of the woman who had met
him at the door. He asked for the
flowers, got them and went. He went
to his hotel and investigated no more
roads for days.
Finally 1t occurred to him that II he
did not expect to become a confirmed
idiot, he had better get back to ma
ture. He got out his motorcycle and
went chugging off-not In a new di-
rection at all, but down the salf-same
road of his unusual experience. He
had ridden for : long time without
meeting a single human disturber. and
was going on at great rate, when he
was brought to an abrupt standstill by
a burst OF girlish laughter. In fact
there were several peals and shrek.
Ahead of him on the road a huge
motor car had met with some mishap.
There were several persons standing
and a young chap was under the ma
chine. If Richard Dudley loved one
thing more than another, II was a
touring car. He hadn't known this
before, but now he anticipated an at
tack and a mastery.
What has gone wrong?" he asked.

The young man crawled out, dusty
and crest-fallen. IL was plain to be

about motors.
"Oh. do help us, please" chorused
the girls.
Richard took one glance-he was
sure one of the girls smiled ironically.
Understandings IL was she of the
blue eyes, of the golden hair, of the

He crawled under the machine.
There was really almost nothing the
matter. He rose kolemnly. II don't

nearest house?"
THE girl-the only one-looked a
little alarmed. The young man was
talking earnestly with her. Curse
him." said Richard under his breath.
