The Color of
Adam and EYES Eyes.

audlll ollu INS AySo' -
Does anybody remember the respect
i've color of Adam and Ewes eyes?
The truth Of this matter has for the
time slipped the mind of this paper,
and frankly, we are worried over the
perplexing problem.
You could hardly give Mother Eve
credit for the present luscious supply
of blue and gray eyes, for you will find
! just about as many of her descend
ants with eyes of darker hue. You
will also find the three colors pretty
evenly divided among the sterner sex.
There seems to be no authoritative
source for intelligent research On the
subject. None of the biographical
sketches dealing with the somewhat
stormy career of this remarkable
couple give forth any light on the
| matter.
1t is not known whether Adam had
blue, gray or brown eyes. Ditto his
wife. Just why the color of eyes in
| this day is no respector of persons is
not known. The whole blooming mat
ter is an everlasting mystery, and will
probably never be definitely settled.
Somehow we have always taken an
unusual interest in this couple and We
| feel that enough hasn't been said
about their characteristics. Though
marble slab is said to have been erect
| ed to the memory of Adam, we should
not be satisfied. He and his wife
should be remembered in song and
story, which cannot well be done for
lack OF more definite data on the lives
and personalities of the two. If
Brother Stovall of the Tampa Tribune
and his bright stenographer VII agree
to give some of their time for study
and research we feel sure that much
I information bearing on the career of
Adam and Eve may be dug up.
Our two initial ancestors had a com.
paratively good start in life, but some
how they don't seem to have done
we'll. They were evidently of that IN
fortunate class of humanity who can
not stand prosperity, and all that sort
of thing. Even now, to be born in
luxury is scarcely less than a tragedy.
Perhaps that truth caught its mo-
mentum in the Garden OF Eden-that
fawless Utopia-and has resounded all
through the ages, the same serving as
a sort of battering ram to human
progress.
Yes sub, we'd like to know more OF
this couple that rose and fell like an
empire, no information about them
being more important just now than
the respective color of their eyes.
