On my arrival in China I was sent to Peking suing the vain phantoms of richos, position, to learn Chineye. At the end of the firal and pleasure. They are never happy, beesten run. How to thunder. G. FICO, VER
outh I was able to speak a fów words and they are never satisfied. I have everything I write some charactors, I marvelled at the pro want and am happy. I shall continue to smuko groes I had made in that difficult language and till the pipe of my life gues out, and then, mentally vowed that I would not contine myself gladly, without umur,pass, to where beyond to acquiring a smattering of Chinese, as west these voices, there is peace-N. C. Daily News, people did, it would study the language thoroughly by means of its classics and people. so that my name should be mentioned by future generations with those of Wade, Gilex, and other famons sinologues.
To this end I plestored. the walls of my roors will slips of paper decorated with charnotors, and walked abroad to study akoy signs. Here, however, I reosivad my Orst check The simplest inscription over a abop frout baffled me here, and there I did re cognise a character, but it seed to have no meaning when taken with the context. About this time, too, I began to find that my teacher,. a dirty person, but a good scholar, was not instructing me at all; I had to teach him what I wanted to know! It is amoying to be told when engairing the difference between black and white, that black is block and white is whito This was the cental mamber in which my professor explained things
I was disappointed to find so that when I had amassal over 1,000 cinzator slips, with recently written description on the back of each, I could only write 15 corrostly from memory and aboni 100 insorrectly. I there. fore gave up the idea of becoming a sinologue and confined myself to learning the colloqand, wherein I joined some proficiency.
On leaving Peking I went to a southern port The first Chinaman I had cosasion to speak to in his own languags' stared at me, and said "Do Eve." Iafterwards found that the place had a dialect of its own, totally different from Pakingas, which was therefore of no me io, me whatever. Being still young and energetic, I studied this dialect and could sooo speak a few words. On my first trip up country I tried These on a countryman who seemed to be later ested in the bout. He smiled when I spoke to him, but evidently did not understand. It seems the dialost he spoke difered from that of the port I had come from. This was the last straw; I gave up Chinesa, having only one life at my disposal and other things to do."
I now devoted myself ussiduously to the work of my office, son mastering the intriosios of -Anglo-Chinone official interconrea and becoming an adopt, at routine.busings. My chief con mended me and gave me most of his work to do The other men in the office did themme, congratu lating me on my actness. When a vacancy occurred in a neighbouring port, one of my janiera was sent in charge. I should have gone, bat they said I was too valuable to part with...
I found my hard earned reputation was koop. ing me back and at the next place I want to professed completo ignorme of anything but the simplest routine. Here I got on well and was happy.
About this period I took to riding and pur chased a pony. I expressly wanted a quiet to begin on and this animal surpassed my expectations. My times was spent in arging him to a trot from the shamble he preferred. This soon palled on me, and I exchanged him for what the dealer described na afast back." This brute bolted with me twice the first day and we continually returned home separately: I disposed of him to a friend for a trifle, sud in- voetod in a 'rioksha as being easier to mamirgʻo. Unfortunately being a secondhand 'one (I gat it from a toan who was leaving Chins) it was in constant need of potty repairs and a breakdown of one of the wheels always seemed imminent. The coolie, too, was not satisinotory, persisting in absenting himself to buy things** on thing elays when I required, his sarvioes, and loung ing abank the premisas ostentatiously on fluo ene when he was not wanted. Ho at last departed without warning to a neighbouring village, where his mother was dying and did not return. Nor did he sond back the two uniforms and rain coat I had provided
him with.
I have always had a liking for field sporte," although zátura did not endow me withi great bodily strength or mittness of foot, 1 gladly therefore joined a football anb that was being started The first game I played in was an Associatint one. Our side was by: for the stronger and I spent most of my time running up and down the field after the ball. I sofdom, approached, nase anough to kick, amt øven when I did such was my axelto. ment that I more often than not kicked the wrong way I felt that I should do much better at Rugby and left socker" Bevurely alone, The Rugby game gare more scope for my talant and I did fairly wall, till I was chosen to play against a team of naval men. 12ey had very heavy, what is sportingly called "hard working forwarda."! I was a forward, but was notheavy Theremit was that I was trampled en twice during the first five minutes, my nose shortly afterwards coming inte violent contact with an anonymons ellow. Being for tunate enough to secure the ball, I was promptly collared and my clother torn. I left the fuld and played football no more that day. I remained in the oliv, but caly as an honorary member".
