destinies of their graduates are traced
from 1912 to 1900 Six vocations are
tabulated-ministry, law, education
business, public service.

the changes in the number of gradu-

callings. At the beginning the minis

According to some authorities, there
has been a corresponding decline in
the social Importance of the ministry
but no exact figures upon that subject
are obtainable. No wonder the
churches are demanding more stu

but perhaps if they could get them
there would be a corresponding falling
off in the number of capable Y. M. G.

and the same is true of physicians. In
1912 it required only per cent of the
college graduates to physic the coun-

more prevalent than it used to be or

This particular case has developed
the arrest of the man who arrested

depicting his arrest as a frame +"
just as Eddie's friends charged that
the accusations against him were
baseless and the work of enemies.
The chances are that one of these

it was discovered that Wilson had car

in Los Angeles began to show in

Roosevelt over the result as previ-

the matter into court, and are quite
likely to be thrown out again, just as

LOS ANGELES, A ROTTEN BOR-

Los Angelesl
OF all the rotten, canker-eater
towns in the United States, that city
so favored by benign climate and
blessed by natural beauties is to be
listed first. None other can compare
with Los Angeles in public rottenness
just as none other can compare in
sunshine and none other in wealth.
1t is remarkable that the winter
capital of the Pacific coast, the center
of fashion and wealth, should be far
and above the wicked" city of San
Francisco in downright wickedness,
but this is true. Los Angeles has for
a generation attracted the wealthy of
the east, the comfortable, the conserv-
alive, the respectable. And while it
has been the center of wealth, fashion
and responsibility, it has also been
eaten to the very heart by cancer
GUS civic conditions the equal of which
has never been seen in any city in this
country
The fight of labor and capital is an
example-the bitter, relentless war
waged by Harrison Grey Otis and his
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton upon any laborers who had the
temerity to organize for their own bet
terment. The blowing up of the
Times and the murder of 20 employees
was a feature of that war. but it was
only a natural outgrowth of the hatred
which is bred of oppression.
The graft exposure which resulted
in the recall of Mayor Alexander's
is another. Probably the
most sensational is the case of Guy

prospect of war.

And the Golliwog also thought that
he had better do as the magic donkey
had said, and so he put both his hands
over his eyes.
But the Golliwog was very nervous
and fiustered, and he forgot all about

an did all her magic to turn him into a
brown and frisky donkey, he very
slowly left off being a Golliwog and
did turn gradually into very brown
and frisky donkey.
And he screamed very loud with his
and he made a very funny looking
donkey indeed. When Edward the
Teddy Bear saw the Golliwog turning
into a brown and frisky donkey he
was very frightened, and he felt him
self all over with his hands in case he
was turning into anything.
Then the Donkey Woman laughed
very harshly TO herself, and she took
hold of the three donkeys and led them
away. But she couldn't do anything

saying about the 'Grey BendeIhaps'
all over and over again.
And the Donkey Woman took the
magic donkeys, and she locked them
up in a very hard and cold stable.
Then she smiled very happily to her
self, and she went home and sat In a
very comfortable hammock, and she
told the parlor maid to bring her hot
buttered toast and chocolates
And all the time Edward the Teddy
Bear sat on the sands and opened and
shut his eyes and called out about the
Grey Bendelhaps," and he wondered
wildly to himself whatever he had bet
ter do about the Golliwog.
And suddenly he saw something
very funny come out OF the sea and
walk towards him.
1t was very long and thin, and II
had large and Happy ears like an ele-
plant.
And all over its little legs and all
over it's body and all over its long and
curly tail it was covered with very
soft and fluffy grey fur. And its face
looked very kind and good. In its
front paw it carried a very long and
cleaning pin. And although It came
out of the sea not any of its grey and
fluffy fur was wet!
Then Edward the Teddy Bear called
out and asked It whatever it was

Donkey Woman now. and there wasn't
time to run away. And the tears of
the Golliwog all triek1ed down the
neck of the magic donkey. and made
it more uncomfortable and unhappy
than ever @
Then the other magic donkey said
that it had suddenly remembered a
way to prevent magicians from turn
ing you into things, and that If they
put their hands over their eyes and
called out a lot of times and said,
"Grey Bendelhaps." they would be
quite safe, and the Donkey Woman
wouldn't be able to turn them into
anything.
When they got back, the face OF the
Donkey Woman was very cross and
frightening, and she called out very
loudly and asked them why ever they
went SO far. and she told them that
they would have to pay her lot of
pennies.

Toward the Teddy Bear and the
Golliwog were bored So they
both sat on the floor and tried to
think OF something fresh that they
could do to amuse themselves.
Presently the Golliwog left off think
ing and began to smile
Everybody else has gone to the sea-

and clapped with his hands.

So Edward the Teddy Bear and the

out her.
And they sang songs all the way be-

| And they saw very fat Donkey
Woman. and she was holding on to
two brown and risky donkeys, and
calling out and telling people about how
nice it felt to have donkey rides.
So Edward the Teddy Bear and the
Golliwog went up to the Donkey Wom-
an, and they told her that they would
like to have a ride.
And the Donkey Woman looked at
them very funnily, and then she helped
them on to the two brown and risky
| donkeys.
| Then Edward the Teddy Bear and
the Golliwcg were very pleased and
happy, and they jumped softly up and
down in their saddles as the donkeys
galloped.
On and on they galloped over the firm
brown sand, until the Donkey Wom--
an was quite out Of sight, and then
| they thought that they had better turn
round and go back, for the Donkey
Woman's face looked as though it could
be very cross and frightening if she
liked.
the brown and frisky donkeys began to
sigh. and then the other brown and
frisky donkey began to sigh also, and
they both sighed and sighed SO loud
and so sadly, that Edward the Teddy
Bear and the Goiliwog couldn't make
out whatever was the matter.
So they patted their heads with their
hands and told them that if they were
tired, they needn't gallop any mere.
But the brown and risky donkeys still
went on signing, and they looked at
each other very sadly.
Then the Golliwog began TO get nerv-
Gus. because he didn't like the way the
brown and frisky donkeys looked at
each other; and he shivered so much
with his body that he nearly fell off on
to the sand below.
Dut Edward the Teddy Bear didn't
shiver with his body. and he called out
and told the GollWog not to be so
stupid. and he leant forward. and sn1il-
ed very kindly. and asked the brown
and risky donkeys whatever was the
ma tier with them?
Then the brown and frisky donkeys
began to cry very softly, and one of
them looked round with its head and
said:

gician?'

and he searched very carefully for the
beehive, because he was dreadfully
fond of honey himself.
Meanwhile the animals in the ditch
were telling each other all the different
things that they had thought Of while
they were standing on their heads.
John the Hedgehog thought that he
would get a long stick and push it
right into the beehive and drag out the
honey.
The Armadillo thought that he would
get a long piece of rope and he would
tie up all the bees very safely and
tightly while he got the honey; and
Peter the Tortoise thought that he
would bring a large bag of SNUFF, so
that the bees would sneeze SO much
that they wouldn't be able to sting.
And so they set out for the hive.
Then John the Hedgehog stuck his
long stick right into the hive to get
the honey, and when the angry bees
that he stirred up came rushing out
the Armadillo tried to tie them up with
his rope, but he couldn't do it because
they stung his fingers. And all the
time Peter the Tortoise sprinkled snuff
about, and made them all sneeze so
dreadfuIly that they had to turn round
and run away.
Just then Billy the Boo Bear hap
pened to come along, and just as he
got quite close up to the hive all the
bees rushed out to sting him, and
Billy gave a great jump and upset the
hive on to the ground, and all the bees
flew after him.
And at first he was very frightened
and ran away, but his fur was so long
and thick that the bees could not get
through it to sting him: so soon he
went back and took all the honey.
And he ate it all next day for break
fast and enjoyed it very much.
