Magyar Version OF the Expulsion
From the Garden OF Eden.

Among the folklore OF the peasantry
OF Ruumania and some of the adjoin-
Ing Magyar states Of eastern Europe
is found the story OF the expulsion OF
our first parents from the garden OF
Eden. II runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell. God sent
Gabriel. the Magyar angel, to turn
them out OF Eden as a punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was received most
c~Uurtcously. food and drink Of the
best being set before him. Now, Ga
briel had a kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not ac'
cept their hospitality, remembering his
errand. So he returned and begged
that some one else he sent to eyict the
sinners, us he really could not do II.
The Raphael, the Roumanlan angel,
was sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. lie, however, was very fond
Of n good dinner. and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over, he told the erring pair his
errand. They at once began to weep
most plteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow so touched his aft
er dinner heart that he. too. returned
and asked that some one else be sent,
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital.
ity. Then Il was that Michael. the
German angel. was sent. He was re-
ceiyed as the others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu.
ously. lie sat down and enjoyed him
self till the last morsel Of food had
vanished and there wasn't n drop Of
liquor left. Then he arose, and, turn
ing Ia his host and hostess, said, "Now,
then, out you 90, and he quick about
IT," Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg ut least for time. even reminding
him that he had partakcn Of their
bread. All In vain. Thus 1t was that
our first parents were driven out Of
Eden.

the Baltimore American. A leaden bull

that il will very often make n wound OF

Another strange fact about u bullet Is
that 1t will often pass through Inter.
