Tho cult of the beard, according TO tho
ancient Jewish writer's started in tho
garden OF Eden. Adam, they tell us, was
several miles i'll height, and was furnished
with prodigious beard which reached to
his middle.
The ancient Jews, presumably on ac-
count of this believed Edcnic origin, held
tho beard in such high esteem that they
considered it u greater insult to seize u
man by his beard than to tread on his
corns. They cherished the hair on their
faces as the callow youth of today docs his

Gus forms, pcrfumcd it with otlorous sub
stances and cut it only as sign OF great
niiliction. So far did they carry their ven
Grafton for its dignity that laws were nc
tually passed regarding the manner of its
wearing. This WAS probably done, how
ever, in order that the chosen people might
not initiate tho ncighboring races that
made hair offerings to their gods, nor

but didn't. 1t was tho upper room in n
two story extension that had mover been
finished. They'd laid boards down on tho
floor beams in ono part of it and stored
some stuff there, and was foolish enough
to go over and see what it was. Coming
back stepped off beam, and then before
l know it my other foot slipped and both
feet went down good and solid plumb
through the ceiling and left mo setting
there astrido of tho beam.
well, this place was over the kitchen,
and had great hopes on that account
but I'd made lot of noise, laths breaking
and plaster dropping, and when como to
move made moro. But that wasn't the
worst of it; when tried to pull my legs
up, they wouldn't come; the ends of tie
laths stuck into them like the barbs of a
fshhook. If I'd havo had both legs to-
gether on one side, l could have crowded
on down through easy enough. 1 guess
I'd have gone through of my own weight
but as it was I'd got to get one leg up
anyway. 1 reached down and tried to hold
tho lathS down on ono side enough to let
mo pull my leg through. I thought If I
couldn't do that could manage to whit
