We usually consider our best friends

Some persons think coffee real

afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had

into the darkened liying-room she saw
one of the boys, minus clothing, re-
clining under big fern, while anoth-
er. equally clothless. was standing by

planning that they we're playing Ad-
am and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,

Many Biblical scholars place the
Garden of Eden between the Euphrates
and the Tigris. This is now to be re-
claimed and once again made fertile.
English engineers have already in
yaded the region, and are building a
great dam across the Euphrates, not
far from Bagdad, by which water will
be carried over the land as is done in
Egypt and India That the soil is ex-
