The First Riskshaw.
From the London Daily News


Twenty years or SO ago, when rail-
ways In japan were yet few and mo-
tor cars undreamed OF, the common
methods OF travel for natives and for
eigners alike was the rickshaw.
Horses were scarce and of Indifferent
quality, the bicycle had hardly made
Its appearance in the far east, SO
practically the only means of getting
about the country away from the main
line Of the railway between Toxic and
HioSo was in the modified perambula-
tor which is known all over the world
as the rickshaw.
There are number of versions of
it's invention and to whom credit
should be given for it. The Japanese
old gentleman of F'yoto. who some
time before 1868, finding his palanquin
uncomfortable, took 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 halt
missionary, was the person to sug-
gest the idea of a glorified go-cart
somewhere about 1867
The first official application to be
allowed to manufacture rickshaws
was. however, made in 1870. They
were soon being turned out in hun
dreds and thousands, for the middle
class Japanese found 1t cheap and
comfortable way of travelling long OF
short distances, and there was an in
exhaustible supply of men eager to
turn themselves into beasts of burden
in order to earn the high wages which
the employment brought them. Curl
ously enough. though elsewhere the
thing is called rickshaw, in Japan
it generally goes by the name of jim
rik.
Both are authorizations Of the real
word. which is jin-r iki-sha, meaning
literally man power vehicle that Is
a cart pulled by a man. Sometimes
you hear kurma used as AN equiv
alent. and that is Japaning Of the
Chinese syllable sha. kuruma- va is a
rickshaw puller, and you would call it
out in Japan when you wanted rick
shaw, just as we called hansom In
the days when the hanson had not
been driven off the ranks by the taxi

They've got the pennant on ice all

They can't lose the rag. They're

Anybody can see they're full o. ginj

minute. and the bunch are working to-
gether like machine. Isn't chance
on earth for 'em to lose to any team
for the championship this year. They're
in class by 'emselves.
I'm talking about how the team looks
to a man up tree. and if you can't see
that they're all working like layout of
stake horses this year why, you're
leaning up against the old bamboo,
that's all.
Anybody can see they're out for it.
They're there to cop this year. Look at
their bunch of pitchers Just flash
me any other gang of beavers in the
league fit to compare with 'em, that's
all!
Why, With herd of Fingers like
they've got they can win all their
games by their pitching alone. even if
nobody on the teams hitting! But
they've got gang o. wallpapers. too.
Oh, know they've been hitting lit

all right. and presently they'll be

stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-

to speak.
He was tenderly conveyed to camp

Lawyers have peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,

to an amusing slip on the part of

the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
