Even Where the Jinricksha Disblaces the
Ford, the 'Rickshd is American Made

THE jinrickshas most Of US
l. call to mind were rather
crude and cumbersome affairs,
as pictured in the biographies OF
our boyhood days, usually oceu-
pied by an almond-eyed lady,
gorgeously attired and shielding
herself from the suns rays with
a many ribbed parasol Of many
more colors. Always a patient
faced coolie padded along
between the shafts. &. i.
But the jinrieksha Of the
Marking Road, Shanghai, the
Bund at Hongkong, and the
pleasure places of all the Chinese
cities Of today, is a very differ
ent vehicle. Mostly it is up
holstered in leather, rubber
tired, soft cushioned and deli
cately lacquered, with = one
man top and every comfort
provided. And made in America!
- Ball bearings and better roads,
to say nothing of better fees
from the constantly increasing
tourists, make the lot of the
jinrickshamsn a vast improve
ment over the old days. He
prefers the American made
'ricksha just as he prefers the
American passenger. Botf

Education Might Be Termed, Passion of
 Abraham Lincoln

: Abraham Lincoln once gave to . casual acquaintance whom he met cn a railway. train the following particar. lars as to his education: > A."Well. Sas to education, the newspa- pers are correct never went to school more than six months In my life. I can say this: that among my earliest recolleetions remember how, when a mere child, used to get irritated when anyone talked to me in a way I could not understand. I do not think I ever got angry at anything else in my nfet but that alwaysa disturbed my temper. and has ever since. Itcan remember going to my little bedroom after hearing the neighbors talk Of m evening with my father,i and spend ing no small part of the night walk ing up and down and trying to make out what was the exact meaning of some of their, to me, dark sayfnga could not sleep, although I tried to. when got on such hunt for an idea until I had caught 1t; and when I thought had got 1t was not satis- ned until I had put 1t In language plain enough, as I thought, for any boy knew to comprehend. This was a kind of passion with me and has stuck by me; for I am never easy now, when am handling thought until have bounded 1t north and bounded 'tt south and bounded itsheast and bounded 1t 'west-r sts soIs> aH
 Supplementing these "reminiscences by a few extracts from an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica, we learn of Lincoln that His own mother taught him to read, and his stepmoth- CT urged him to study, He read and reread in early boyhoodi the Bible, ;Aesop, Robinson Crusoe,' Pilgrims Progress 'Weem's Life of Washing ton,' and History: of the United Stal.s, and later read every book he could borrow from the neighbors, Burns and Shakespeare becoming fa- vorites. He borrowed a grammar and other books, sought explanations from the village schoolmaster, and began to read law. In 1884 his political friend and colleague, John Todd Stu arC, lawyer III IuII pTdCIlCe, ndu urged him to fit himself for the bar, and had lent him text books; and Lincoln, working diligently, was ad- mitted to the bar in September, 1836. His mental qualities were-a quick analytic perception, strong logical pow CTS, tenacious memory, liberal es- innate and tolerance of the opinions of others, ready intuition of human nature; and perhaps his most valu- able faculty was rare ability to di- vest himself of all feeling or passion in weighing motives of persons or problems of state. His speech and diction were plain, terse, forcible. Re lating anecdotes with appreciative hu- nor and fascinating dramatic skill, he used them freely and effectively in conversation and argument. He had unchanging faith in self-government. The people, he said, are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the constitution
 These words, just quoted, of this
