Young Adam and Eve, Both IL, Hide for Many
Happy Weeks in a. Romantic Mountain Cave

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 8 Here
is q story about q youthful 1910
Adam and his consort Eve.
Adam is II years old. and so is
Eve, and their real names were
La We're Tallman and Beatrice
Sanders. Now Eve is Mrs. Tall
man. They ran away from school
and work and went off into the
Catskill mountains, right up among
the big bears and mountain lions
and things, and there they lived in
cave for weeks and weeks.
1t was just the finest cave i'm
aginable, too. A great big, regu-
lar robbers cave. Why, Capt.
Kidd himself would nave pounced
upon it in glee as q bully hldlng
place from policemen, and might
have hid a million dollars in bull
lion and diamonds i'll the big black
hole that led off to-no one
knows where-from the southeast
corner.
And here in this cave the nature
children lived and played. During
| the day La We're hunted and cought
fish and bartered with neighbOr-
ing farmers for eggs and milk and
sugar and other provisions, but
carefully concealed his identity
and his hiding place and his ma
ture wife.
Elmer than Paradise!" said
Beatrice. For in the soft, roman
tic days of September and October
they sat alone beneath the start
and gazed into each others eyes
and loved each other, and forgot
the world. They were very, very
happy-also very, very young.
But one crisp night there came
frost. They hadn't counted on
that, nor on the rain which came
down in torrents and got into the
coy little cave and messed up
things and made them both feel
quite miserable. But old Jack
Frost did not nip their love.
However, they began to suspect
that they couldn't live in a cave
all winter. La We're went down
to the village of Yonkers and
secuted around. He got a job at
"a a week driving a delivery wa
gon for a butcher. He rented a
little house, sold his shot gun and
! fishing tackle, and went back af-
ter Beatrice. But La We're didn't
know the streets of the town and
lost his job. Fuel ran low and
they got miserab1y cold in that
little house. They used to wan
der down to the railroad station
and sit around until they got warm
The station agent became suspic-
ious and called a policeman. They
were arrested and had to confess
that they were not married.
1--WE intended to be married all
the time" said La We're, but we
were afraid to come down from
the mountains together for fear
we would be returned to our par
ents."
But even then their love had
not grown cold.
They were taken back to New
ark, and a family council was held
in the home OF Mrs. Tallman, who
teaches music in Newark. Papa
Sanders though both the children
ought to be spanked, but you can't
spank an original Adam and get
away with it? The Rev. DR.. Ly-
man Whitney Allen was called in.
He smoothed out matters and the
nature $'wedding" was made a
really truly marriage.
Now everybody is quite salts
fled and happy, and papa Sanders
has not only given up the spanking
idea, but even promises to get La
We're a nice little job at which he
can make some real money.
La We're and Beatrice first fell
in love when Beatrice watched the
boy Jerk" sodas at r. M. Laird's

Ellen Terry Tonight.

Ellen Terry, who appears at the
Tacoma theater tonight in an i'm
personation of Shakespeare S
heroines, says that the American
taste for Shakespeare has not
been corrupted by the comic opera
and problem play, and that he is
still read and still admired by the
public as ever, especially by the
best educated.

AT THE TACOMA.
"The NiQger.n


At the Tacoma theater Friday
and Saturday, for the first time.
will be seen Edward Sheldon s
race problem play, The Niger,
which was a phenomenal success
at New York's New Theater last
season. This play is full of dra-
matte situations such as have new
er been seen here before. The first
act has a sensational lynching
episode; but very few members OF
the mob are seen and the lynching
is largely an appeal of the imag-
nation. No other American play
wright has ever been so success
full in utilizing unseen incidents
in 2 drama.

Beatrice went to Bradley Beach for
the summer La We're wrote burn
ing letters. One of these fell into
the hands of papa Sanders. Papa
advised Beatrice to come down out
of the clouds, but Beatrice said
she was so far above the clouds
she couldn't get down with a lad

last September to the Hacketts-

A slumber party is not always as
peaceful as it sounds Not that the
girls snore. because they don't go to
sleep until it's time to get up for
breakfast, but occasionally unforeseen
incident occur that create such a tu-
mutt and riot as makes father and
mother glad that they moved to the
third floor for the night. At a slum-
Der party last week the ten girls who
made up the company decided to keep
as close together as they could and to
that end they improviSed sleeping ar
rangementse on the floor close to the
big bed in each of the rooms they oc-
cupied. Then they all descended to
the kitchen to make fudge. which was
designed to be eaten at intervals dur
made and cooled and they returned to
their rooms, made the usual prepare
tions for good nights rest and after
the necessary disputes as to who was
to sleep next to the wall and who
should have the hard pillow, they be-
gan scrambling to their downy nests.
Carefully drawing back the cover of
the temporary bed on the floor, one
of the young ladies was Mortified to
find the figure of a man in a rusty
and ragged suit with his hat drawn
over his face, and having every ap-
pearance of being quietly sleeping.
The panic that a fire in a full opera
house makes is a sluggish affair COM
pared to the excitement and rush that
prevailed among the girls until they
were safely outside the door. But poor
Dorothy, who was up in the big bed
and couldn't get out without stepping
over the man VIII omight lay a hard
cold grip on her foot and hold her
fast, was left alone in the room with
that awful creature who might wake
at any instant. The suspense was aw-
full until the girls could muster cour-
age enough to return to the assistance
of their comrade, whom they intended
to smuggle out as quietly as possible
and then summon papa. However,

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

had argued with the Very Clever
Man on certain subject, and had al
most-or maybe quite-gone down be-
fore the powerful battery of his in
formation and eloquence.
He seemed very deeply in earnest
about it. 1t pleased me. 1 like to see
clever people in earnest.
And then the next day 1 happened TO
pc near group of which the Very
Clever Man was one, and overheard the
my absolute amazement and dis
nluSlonment the Clever Man was TAX
ing the opposite side.
Why disillusionment? Hadn't he a
right to take either side?
Yes, but not both.
At least, not to my way of thinking
1t is all very well to use argument
as series of mental gymnastics in a
debating club, but I think when men
and women are discussing vital sub
Jects, 1T behooves them to have vital
convictions and not play puss-in-the-
corner with their beliefs.
OF course I believe in open-minded-
ness believe a man should hear boil
sides of case THOROUGHLY before
he makes up his mind and takes his
stand, but once having taken it, I be-
l1eve he should never retreat from it
unless he sees some good reason for
changing his ideas on the subject
l thought perhaps the Very Clever
Man had changed his mind on the SUBJ
ject-though it must have been q
lightning change-but when 1 asked
him about, he refused to accept that
1oophole of escape.
''Oh, no, L hadn't changed my mind, .
he insisted, cheerfully, "Pll take any
side of any question for the sake of an
argument.
That seems to me almost like deny
ing your country.
I suppose I'm absurdly serious mind
ed, but 1 like people whose convictions
on big subjects are so intense, so pas
sionate that they could no more speak
against them, merely for the sake OF
stirring up an argument, than they
could speak i'll of their mothers
or sisters.
And now, though you may think I'm
splitting hairs and making mountains
out of molehills in my protest against
these over versatile arguers, maybe
you'll be impressed by a protest on the
same subject from a wiser mind.
Says William Penn, in his quaint, but
shrewd way:
Don't use thyself to dispute against
thine own Judgment, to shew Wit, lest
it prepare thee to be too Indifferent
about what is Right; nor against an
other Man, to vex him, or for mere
Trial of skill; since to inform or to he
informed, ought to be the End of oil
Conferences"
