Carelessness in writing Is often the
cause Of mistakes, some of which prove
to be serious and others humorous. One
that occurred a few days ago had a most
ludicrous aspect. Up the state there is
an official who acts as an agent for
the deaf and dumb asylum at Broad
and Pine streets. Recently he wrote a
letter TO the superintendent Of the asy-
lum, and, among other things, said; 81
will be down In a few days with several
deaf mules, for which / hope you will
be able to provide quarters"
When the superintendent received
the letter he was dumfoundsd, and In
dignantly wrote back that the insttu-
ton was not a stable, and that it had
no use for animals. Shortly afterward
the official arrived in the city with sew
eral boys who were to become inmates.

s4rE. or ADVEHTI.ING.
THE STRAIGHT OF 1T.

A few days ago in a calm and uurufied
frame Of mind, utterly devoid of partisan
bias or riotous desire to cast a covert
slur" upon ex-Delegate Carey. we penned
an article, the gist of which was compris
ed in the heading: Don't Expect Too
Much" General attention had been di-
rected for several months to the acquisi
ton of statehood, sometimes to the neg
lect of private business. Under these cir
cumstauces it was only natural that an
exaggerated idea of the immediate bless
Jugs which statehood would bring had
grown up. Some people seemed to labor
under the impression that just as
rs statehood was secured nothing further
remained to be done to obtain every
blessing that good fortune could shower
upon a fortunate people. 1t was to com
bat this notion and at the same time
show that statehood only brought US I'M
proved conditions while it still remained
with the people themselves to work out
their own destiny that the article was
written. How the article could have
been construed into a covert slur at
Delegate Carey" we cannot conceive, I'M
less the e1-delegate is already enshrlned
in a metaphorical glass case 50 that
the winds of heaven may no longer blow
upon him.
OF course the scheme Of the Republi-
can press will be to conceal as far as pos
sible the responsibilities attending state
hood until the the United States senators
are safely elected. A majority of the
people ratified the constitution knowing
that while statehood would bring to them
the blessings of self government it would
at the same time increase their
expenses and add to their responsibilities.
The constant attempts to hoodwink the
the people are becoming m%onotonous.
One OF these days something may drop
with a dull, sickenning thud.

81 years old, Sir Robert Peel settled a
pension of $500 on him and offered
him a baronetcy, which he had the
good sense to decline. Eight and
twenty years earlier, in 1907, a pension
of 9160 a year had been conferred on
him through the good offices of his
stanoh friend Wynn, who had hitherto
allowed him a similar sum annually.

A sInEuIAr Account OF the Preservation
Of the X ulI of the First Man.
The following tradition Of the dl-
vision and final burial place Of the
bones of Adam, our common ancestor,
Is from a curious work entitled IA
Mumical Treatise of Tentzelius; A Ma
tural Account of the Tree of Life, and
of the Tree of knowledge of Good and
Evil" This odd little work was pub
Hshed by Hen: Fletcher at the three
gilt cups in Paul's churchyard, Lon
don, 1857" The legend Is as follows:
Noah was commanded by God to
carry Adams bones and the Tree which
grew on his sepulcher into his Ark, n
preserve the originate of manknde;
which Noah did with all observance.
And when Noah ant his three sons
forthe into the three parts OF the
worlde, he divided Adams bones
amongst them, giving his legs and feet
to his youngest some, his breast and
his arms to his middle sone and his
head and skull to his eldest some, as
such sacred relickes of the father of
IldIlhlnut Us ucScI Ncd W ~ hCPe'
Now his first born betook himself Into
the parts near Jerusalem, where he
buried Adams skull In a little mount
ain, which was therefore called Mount
Calvary, because Adams calvaria, or
skull, was there inferred which the
evangelist therefore called Golgotha,
or the place of a skull, In the singular
-. h---O- fho TraA 0f thu
~transplation of Adam was by remarka-
BILE and admirable Providence pre-
served and made into a cross for
Christ's crucifLdon, and erected direct
ly over the place where Adams skull
was buried"
Although the text of the above copy
is somewhat ambiguous, enough may
be cleaned from it to prove, according
to the legend, that the grave OF Adam
was opened by those who were to take
passage on the ark that the bones and
a tree which originally grew over them
were deposited In the vessel that was
to override the food and were thus
saved from obliteration; that the son
of the ark builder who fell heir to
ADAMS Skull WIS also mlrusteu W
transplant the tree, which, through a
series of remarkable ooincident hap
penings, was used In after years as a
cross for the cruciiIion Of the Saviour.
The mystery of the whole affair Is
deepened by the last sentence of the
legend, which says that the cross was
set up directly over the spot where
Adams skull had been deposited by
the dutiful son of Noah, In assertion
concurring In every particular with the
Scriptural account, which says that the
place of cruciixion was known as "the
place Of a skull"
The author of the work containing
the above legend attributes 1t to IAN
ancient doctor In the eastern country
and a bishop Of the church a little after

This is the strange sort of greeting
which the Portland Ore0enian, a Republ-
can paper, sends to Wyomiog: "One Of
the compeusations for the admission into
the union as a state of a community so
VIGOROUSLY immature and unfit a. Wyo-
ming, is the opportunity afforded for the
trial of the woman suffrage experiment
on a national scale. Women have been
elected to imp ortant local Offices in Wyo.
ming, and have. 1t is said, acquitted them
selves ~credrably. There is no r,ason in
the world why a community 80 we'll salts
fed as Wyoming apparently is with
woman suffrage and women office holders
at home, should not choose at least one
woman to represent it at Washington.
The representative will probably be male;
but the two senatorships might fairly
enough be divided between the two classes
of electors. Indeed, it will be an implied
reproach to Wyoming if she shall fail
to make a U Of her first
senators. 1t will look as though
she were insincere in her probes
sion of belief in sexual equality.
and ashamed of her peculiar institutions,
if she hasitates to do at Washington what
she does at home. Utah never was afraid
to send a polygamist to congress. Wyo-
ming ought not to be afraid to send a
woman. The senate is the best place for
her. too. The highest Office is not too
good for the sex Wyoming delights to
honor. Then the lady from Wyoming
will feel more at home in the senate than
In the house. There is a charming coterie
of nice old ladies' there already. She can
gossip with Hoar, talk scandal with
Dawes. scold with Chandler, reform the
world with Blair. and drink cold tea with
old Joe Brown; if she has not lost her
relish for these things 10 the wild west.

would select may have manher tastes and
