PEIPING.

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.

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

"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.

Ricksha Boys Faithful.
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. . _
