fore there was any bread0 to
multiply his kind and cultivate
and replenish the earth, and so
forth and so on-you have read
the story; if you havn't, you
should at once and know that we
are telling the truth.
A few hundred years later on
we find the descendants of these
two lone pioneers doing business
under the firm name of Adam &
Eve) crowding the earth for
room and fighting for the choic
est lands, and withal had become
very wicked. A few of them
wanted the whole earth-all the
same at this late period.
But to settle this trouble and
get rid of the Undesirables Ia
very numerous and powerful
tribe), a flood was called and all
but select few the tribe of the
Desirables) were put in sack,so
to speak, and cast into the wat
ters as so many nOt-wanted kit
tens.
But this creature Man, who
started out under such discOur-
aging circumstances, was a
stayer and would not be drowned
nor downed. The Ark had hard
ly fallen to pieces with age be-
fore the earth was again crowd
ed with the descendants of Adam
& Eve, cultivating the wastes,
hewing downt he wilderness and
building cities, with plenty of
time to spare for war-the same
: old fght-for who should own
| the whole earth.
, By this time other tribes be-
, sides the Desirables and Unde-
. sirables had appeared-Mongols,
' Niggers, linens and all manner
; of breeds and crossbreeds. How
; did all these outsiders butt in
!. Not through Adam & Eve, fol
d in the beginning every thing was
q to bring forth after its kind ano
,. like beget like was the origina
O law. On this great point histor
h ians are stalled. But it is easy
when YOU know it. There wer'
