A tourist who has recently visit
ed California, writes regarding Los
Angeles
"This Is the most miraculous city
in the world. There are only two
kinds Of people who have any busi-
ness here: First, the ones who own
the town as gambler who owns
the only deck Of cards and dice box
in the village and is also the chief
Of police, justice Of the peace and
sheriff. Second, the visitors who
come here for health and rejuvenat-
ing Of old misery, people who are
members of 'millionsires' row when
at home, but drpp out Of sight
when they hit Los AZ geles. The last
mentioned can stay here on account
of having the coin, enabling them to
pay the bills, and If he has a second
or third wife who is not worn and
travel strained, and Is established In
the Ambassador or the Coronado
Beach hotels, where, If she can't act
with the lead horses why she can
look on and watch the live ones go
ing through their PAGES on the ball
room floors. So neither class wants
to 20 back home after they get a
taste of this kind of frivolous exist
ence. Men with no money or a little
had better stay away, unless they
have things arranged before they
ship out as to what they are going
into when they get here. Thousands
Of people here are broke and the
various parks, such as the 'Plazo' and
the 'Pershing Park are crowded with
hordes of men, of all classes, gen.
orally the worst, sitting on the
benches or In crowds, listening to
some wild-eyed anarchist, socialist
or thug, telling how things ought to
be and talking as loud and as long
as he pleases, as he has no opposi'
ton. Surely cosmopolitan lot from
every nation in the world are here.
Every filing station here running
any time at all has been held up from
one to ten times and still are
.frisked' In daytime or night, just
as the idea strikes the holdup boys;
or when their hop or 'hootch' Is
working right they start out and
take In three or four as fast as they
can drive from one to another.
They steal an auto off the street for
the work, then drive right down into
the traffic, leave the car singly ana

change their cap to soft hat out OF
their overcoat pocket, STICK tnere
for a while, then meet at their room
somewhere and split up the stun.
The cars run at from 80 to 40 mile
gait, and no policeman or other
interrupts them, yet when they run
up to q street car that Is standing
still they all hold up until the car
starts; then they all pass the car at
high speed, this being the only law
that they observe, that ! notice.
There are enough secondhand cars
here to form a line from here TO
New York on show In vacant lots
and yards for sale. Twenty-Five

Him, even as David could cxclaim in

follow trust. Third, we have 4 pas
sion for God. Instead of GOODNESS and
indifference. there comes to us a burn
ing desire for the highest and best
things Of life, and eager zeal for sery-
ice in Christ's kingdom.

God, Eeacc will come, and bOundlcss
good will follow in it's train.
