A mail, who Is in the educa-tlona educa-tlona work In tho Philippines and who knew Garfield well, took me and I wa Introduced to a rlcklshaw for tho first time. It Is a light, rubber-tired sort of a cart on two wheels, and Ik drawn by a man w-bo goes on a steady trot for hours. I was delighted. We wont through the narrow street and flaw all of tho strange people and stores It is all so nulet. all but the hollow sound of the many woolen sandals which the people wear. Wo went to the Grand hotel that evening for dinner din-ner and there I Raw the high society people eating and the laJles and men both smoking cigarettes. It was nil very enlere.sting to ine Wo went back to the ship In what is. called a sahpan'. a little boat rowed by two men in the most curious fashion about a mile out In tho hay. The next day I went by train. '-Ith a partv, to To-klo. To-klo. a city of a milllou people (Voko. hama about two hundred thousand). We coch hired a rlcklshnw for the day (about seventy-five cents) and started out to see We went down one street nfter another, little narrow nar-row alleys, until It seemed a perfect maze We saw famous temples and parks and went through the stoies. I haen't gotten en to the 'buying' ycL They charge me too big prices. Wo went back to Yokohama on the blp that evening.

It whs a most beautiful ride I wish you could have seen the country. It is all hlllv and covered with dense foliage. The farms are In little terraces all ever the hills not a foot of ground Is wasted. There would be a gnrden of one Jcind of vegetables about ten or twelve feet long and sis or eight feet wide, then up a few feet there would be another, and so on all over the hills. It s the most ouilnt and artistic county Imaginable There Is a young man from Honolulu with us and the four of us have a good time.
