The boys who have been here betore say that he bis always looking after the boys and I they can't do a thing he doesnt und out about. Think he's going to be a line old boy ' myself.

' 1. Lo! there went out a decree through all the earth, from the North I unto the South and from the rising of the sun even to the setting of the same , that all men should arise and do that which his soul craved to do, and behold ' out of our midst went three men who towered head and shoulders each above his neighbor and took unto themselves automobiles and began to rc- I joice and be exceeding glad. I 2. Moreover, the names of these men are lfzra, who is a prophet of I renown and teacheth the Greeks at the school of the prophets: David, who ' has charge of great treasures and teacheth Literatureg Levi who instructeth l in the devious intrications of Mathematics and all that pertaineth thereto. I 25. Grievous astonishment filled the hearts of men when these three came out from among them and began to strike the pace which maketh the heavens I and the earth fairly wobble. I 4. From night unto night they examined the catalogs of supplies and I established themselves, and from day unto day they dreamed of the future ' and had visions, and tried to crank up the bedpost or steer a settee with a I piano stool. And the report has gone out and spread abroad that one night as I Ezra and David were speaking the night rolled past as swiftly and silently I as lightning when it slips off a wet cloud and lo, and behold! it was morning I before they knew it. ' ti. And the King was well pleased when he regarded the loyalty of these ' three, and fed them every day on lubricants and gasoline and automobile jokes insomuch that the greatest of these can tell the same one twice in the I same week in chapel and never notice it. I T. And the King hath also set them apart from common mortals and I hath set his seal upon them and filled their pockets with wrenches, keys, I sparkplugs, wire. pliers, and screw-drivers that when the evil day cometh ' they shall not be in want. ' S. And lo! they can be seen even unto this day walking with becoming dignity about the school of the prophets, or seated determinedly on little I black autos which seem to be like a certain character of old. tearing about as roaring lions seeking whom they may devour. tl.
