Amply Compensated.

The story of the creation Of
Eve from a rib taken from
Adams body has always had a
peculiar fascination for the ORR
entail mind. For centuries both
Jewish and Arabian wits and
scholars have delighted to ex-
ercise their ingenuity on this
theme. One of the Jewish
legends that has survived is thus
told in Harper's Weekly:
The great Rabbi Gamaliel once
brought the Scriptures of his ma
ton to the r lman Emperor,
Hadrian, who, after a study of
the sacred books, rashly retorted
to the rabbi that in the story Cf
Genesis the Creator was little
better than thief, because He
has stolen one of Adams ribs.
Gamaliel was bewi1dered and per-
picked, but his daughter rose to
the occasion.
Let me answer the emperor" "
she begged, and [ will vindi-
cate our holy writings"
So on the next day she present
ed herself before Hadrian.
20 Emperor of the Romans, >
she cried, truly a terrible thing
has happened, wherefore we In
woke thy add"
Hadrian was greatly concern
ed, and asked what it was. The
Hebrew maiden replied that at
the dead hour of midnight a
thief had subtly and stealthily
entered their abode and had
stolen a silver flagon, although
it was true, she added, that he
had left a golden flagon in it's
place.
Why" cried the Roman En-
peror, that was no robber, but
a berefactor Would that such
a one might rob me. toor'
The Hebrew maiden smiled a
subtle Oriental smile. "Ahr'
she said. looking down and blush
ing sweetly. Why, then, do
you blame the Creator and &C
cuse Him of theft, seeing that, if
He took a rib from Adam, He
left him Eve instead?"

Then and Now.

Prior to the last Is years, by the
time people had attained their first
quarter of a century, they considered
themselves pretty much formed as to
physical and mental characteristics.
\. they were ambitious and energetic
they perhaps carried on some kind
of exercise for their physical weil-be-
ing, and guarded against mental de-
terioration as they advanced in years
by occasionally taking up rev studies
or reviewing old ones; as dear old
lady of my acquaintance at the age OF
eighty-nine began to review her al
zebra to keep her mind active.
Now everything is changed. We
cannot settle down comfortably in the
thought of anything in the regular
routine of life which we may not be
called upon to alter at a moments
notice. Most of US have found that
few Of our established habits are
right and that unless we are willing
to be left hopelessly behind our assoc
ciates we must learn over again all
that we acquired in infancy, and that
has since become Z matter OF auto.

BUTLER MAKES ODD CLOCK
Man Spends Seven Years on Time
Piece Composed of Brads, Beer

An English butler by the name of

clock out of an astonishing collection

self and spent his spare moments for
about seven years in constructing it..
In addition to showing the time of
day and the seconds" he says, cit
also shows the days of the week, days
of the month and month of the year
and the phases of the moon, besides
striking the hours and half hours.
''The wheels were all originally of
wood, but last summer I changed
some of them for others made with
sheet brass. The axles are all skew
ers and the bearings are the eyes cut
from brass hinges and let into the
wooden frame.
"Bootmakers' brads are used in
making divisions in the days of the
week, etc, the hammer it strikes
with is part of beer tap, and the
pendulum, cut from an old chest of
drawers, swings on steel spring OBJ
tanned from woman's corset. The
dates themselves are taken from an
almanac
The large hands and Roman fig
ures are carved on oak and the min
utes around the dial pieces of
matches. The case is made of oak

which are walnut. l bought it in the
