I'm which the u. A. X. boys marched
at indianapolis. Remember, however.
that they marched better thirty years

his attorneys viii do better later on.

The Legendary Adam and Eve.

TO the Scriptural account of the crea-
ton and fall of Adam and Eve the Jewish
writers Of the Talmud have added many
curious particulars. According to these
.mythmongers, Adam, when first created,
was a giant Of giants" as far as stature
goes, his head reaching into the heavens
and his countenance Outshining the sSn
in all its splendor. In one place they
tell Us that 1.-THE very angels stood in
awe of the man which God had created,
and all creatures hastened to worship
him." Then the Lord, in order to give
the angels some idea of his power, caused
a deep sleep to come over Adam, and
while he was in a cematose condition re-
moved a portion of every limb and bone!
The first maj thus lost a part of his o
lossal stature, yet he remained perfect
and complete. Next, the first ''help-
meet for the lord of creation was Gre
ated i'll the person of Lilith, who forsook
Adam to become the mistress of the
air and the mother of demons"
After the departure of Lilith, Eve was
created and married to Adam in the
presence of Jehovah and the angels, the
sun, and stars dancing together to
the angelic music rendered. Then the
supreme happiness Of the human pair
excited the envy of even the angels, and
the seraph Samnlael tempted them and
finally succeeded in bringing about their
fall from innocence. Adam lived as a
penitent On the very ground now Occu-
pied by the temple at Mecca, and Eve in
a cave on the side of Mount Ararat.
where, after q lapse of 200 years, she
was reioin.l to Adam st. Louis Re-

Sticks In Mercantile Life.

Many young men choose mercantile
position for the present only without
thought or intention of making it a per-
manent business. The result is that Of
tentimes we find these men at 30 years
receiving no more pay than they did
when only 1S.
There is an army of this class of young
men behind counters today. They are
an aimless, pitiable class. They stand
hstlessly in their departments and are as
unobservant of what's going on around
them as are the inanimate figures which
one sees at the entrance of clothing estab-
Eshments.
Many of them let slip grand opportu-
mites of becoming great business factors
in the commercial world and have
doomed themselves to the treadmill of
common drudgery. Singleness of pur-
pose implies self reliance, without which
a young business man is not thoroughly
furnished for successful business career.

The Order Pleased the Cook.

The following story is told on q mis-
sionary of the China inland mission,
bachelor keeping house for himself in the
southern part of China: One morning,
in ordering his dinner, he wished to tell
his cook to buy him chicken. Instead
of saying Eye" for chicken he aspirated
the word, saying, Buy me a 'che.'"
His cook thought that was an eminently
proper command and went about his
marketing in high good humor. At noon
the missionary found no chicken cooked
