about Women.

heresy entertained and implied 10y some men.
This IS evident 10 them: Moman's iusgnit-
canoe, rs conn AIRED To man, is evident TO
them, because Adam was first created and
then Eve. They don't read the whole story
or they would find that the porpoise and the
bear and the ark wePs created before Adm

OF creation might prove that tho sheep nul

might more properly wear buuch OF nett es
ana nlghtshade, and instead of the Welding
march more appropriate tune would be the
Dead March i'm saul, aud instead OF n ban

be more appropriately spread table covered

Many AN attractive woman Of good sound

one day after the yulture had declared he
would give up his carnivorous habits and
cease longing for blood of flock and herd, Mt

anu cried; stop that! did YOU not promise
me that You would quit your Carnivorous
