W ayn e's con spicuous gallantry at Ticonderoga and dur ing the winter cam paign in N ew Jersey with Washington led to his promotion to the rank of brigadier-gen eral. The crowning achievement of his career and one that earned for him the title "M a d Anthony" was , his midnight assault and capture of Stony . Point the important British post that com manded the road to .N e w England. After the war. W a yn e entered Congress and later became gen eral-in-chief of the U. S. Army. His expeditions against the Northwest Indians, the celebrated victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and the treaties that he negotiated settled the frontier ' and opened the immense North west territory to civilization, ma terially increasing the size of the United States. p>oses Liven Bedspread G re e tin q i!

A ricksha "sure do break down” one’s resistance and makes a formal posture, co incident with good manners, quite a bore. 9 JM WORRIED ABCUT JACK'S SCHOOL WORK THE T S A C H B R SAVS HE'S LISTLESS AND* INATTENTIVE, f "Shores and Ships and Sealing Wax---- ” and Rickshas _____ PEIPING. , author of “ Alice in Wonderland,” made for himself an enviable reputation by balling up the language and injecting into his manuscript references that had nothing whatever to do with the story. L e w is c ar r o ll The caption on this column is de signed along the Carroll lines, but the word "ricksha” really stands for something. Roughly speaking, the last cen sus report on rickshas accounted for 44,000 of the rubber-tired, two wheeled, one-passenger vehicles, draw-n by fleet-footed coolies capa ble of hauling human cargo on most any kind of a thoroughfare— asphaltum preferred—-at about the same rate of speed and with less poise than goes with the old-fash ioned horse-driven cab. In point of grace and luxury noth ing has ever been invented that can compete with it or make a better showing along the boulevards where traffic streams. Lot Is Not a Happy One. While a spectacle of this sort fills the eye it seldom drifts into one s mind that the lot of the ricksha man is not a happy one. The easy loping stride of the man between the brass-mounted shafts, the three- foot bicycle wheels running silent ly on ball bearings, make Mercury and his machine a floating unit, gliding onward apparently without effort, but it never occurs to the casual observer that perhaps there is a limit to the physical endurance of the human animal swinging along with a human burden lolling under a pith helmet. Nothing so completely fits a white man for the indolent life as spending four or five hours a day in a ricksha. The very construc tion of the device invites a half- reclining posture; added to which the gentle oscillations, more sooth ing than any motion experienced from the cradle to the grave, pro duce a relaxation matched only by insensibility. A New England wom an brought up to sit erect in a straight back hickory chair and hold herself like a Blanker Hill ramrod thinks nothing, alter a EITHER ■— J/ ^ "Strut Sitting Down.” Old boys who can’t even get the nomination for county clerk back home look like senatorial timber after doing a stretch in an uphol stered ricksha. And a tin horn sport who can’ t even get a kind glance from a head waitress, after a few spins between ricksha wheels has difficulty dispelling the rumor that he is Clark Gable. This, how ever, is not the case with residents of Peiping, who, having passed the! inflation stage, are without bom bast. Only the foreigners seem j able to "strut sitting down,” as some one once said of an unpopu lar statesman. And the cost is nothing, compared with the sense of superiority with which the consumer is infected. For the small sum of $1, M ex.,: which here in Peiping means 35 cents in American spondulics, a thoroughbred high-stepping, first- class coolie ricksha boy can be hired for the day, which is under stood to be 12 full hours, with such time for lunch as the patron, in The fullness of his enlarged heart, feels that he can surrender to his faithful foot servant. This rate holds good at $7 per week. Beyond that, the tariff falls to $20 a month, Mex., of course, which places the rick at your disposal practically when wanted, the boy actually haunting your headquarters await ing orders.

A pet dog couldn’t be more at your beck and call. The system solves the whole question of trans portation throughout the city. For long distance trips, motor fares are comparatively low. The average daily mileage of a ricksha boy is about twelve, rang- ing in special cases up to fifteen a day for all seasons except during snow fall, brief in this latitude, and hard on the ricksha boyj, many of whom are unable to buy blankets with which to keep out the chill after a long lope. It is estimated that fifteen years is about the aver age life of a two-wheel hauler, but there is no scarcity of men who are easily in the sixties. The ma jority of them are under twenty- five, from that down to eighteen. It is easy to distinguish the country from the city ricksha pullers. The former put on less style, take a longer stride and think nothing of doing thirty miles a day between town and country; round trip, tip and all, $2 Mex., the owner of the vehicle to $eed himself. . _ _ later - JACK, YOUR WORK ¿ mows R emarkable improvement la te ly ' ^OUTL SOON BE OUR ' _ s t a r P upil a t I t h is r a t e / í Í ) l i it MOTHER SAYS IT'S BECAUSE I ' ve been feeling So much better |S ince r switched To postum - made 1-WtTH-HOT- /MILK / *1 V O f c o u r s e , c h ild « " ,hould never drink coif e.
