THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Chlldren's Novel Play of Adam

of Eden.

L hope you won't think this
story sacreligious or anything Of
that sort, though if you fail TO
look at it through the innocent

seem a trifle irreverent. One
rainy day the children there

their mothers drawing room,
and carried every plant up to
their play room in the garret.
Later, the mother went up 10

palms. She found them ar
ranged about the floor, and the
children playing among them.
"What are you playing, chill
dren?" she asked.
"We're playing Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden"
replied one little midget Just
then from behind a screen in
the corner advanced the tiny son
OF the house. He was dressed
in the simple garb of which
Cupid and Truth have practi-

was his fathers silk lat, and in
his hand was his fathers cane.
"Why, what in the world are

mother.

yond their expectations, even
though they had heard many |
glowing reports of our museum.
At 9 p. III. the editors and
many citizens OF Raleigh went
to the Governor Mansion to at
tend the reception given in hon.
Or of the visitors. Governor and !
Mrs. Russell charmed all by

Recently for the petty offense of chatting
he was struck violent blow by his SER
