of Bishop Fallows' church propounded an
entirely new theory of creation last Sunday.
"Who made MANI" asked the teacher, be-
ginning, as in the good old days when ortho.

"And who made woman?"
God made her, too, ma'am."
"How?"
The small boy hesitated, and then replied
cheerfully: He caused a deep sleep to fall

and made the oman."-Chicago Inter
