. Where half the world is waking up; the old and the new in Japan, China, the Philippines, and India, reported with especial reference to American conditions. ast, is the camel, and he always re-minds me of Henry Cates story of the very little boy whostarted making a mud man in the spring branch, but before hegot the second arm on, a storm came up, and when he cameback his man had mysteriously disappeared. But when Johnnywent to town next day and for the first time in his life saw aone-armed man, the whole mystery cleared, and rushing up,he demanded: Why didnt you wait for me to finish you?
