VIRGINIA FISH STORY
Resident of New Kent Has lhrii-

/ Roxbury, Va, Ang. 9-Many fish
stories have gone out from this sec

which is vouched for by one OF New
Kent's most reliable citizens, Nh.

man himself. While telling OF his
experience one could see ne had not

perience he had been through.
"I started from home," said the
Young man. "with wind and tide Ia

anchor, hoisted sail and started for

I took in my sails, anchored my.
staunch little craft and soon had the

carrying boat and fisherman at thirty,
miles an hour. The fish often tired
to lump into the boat with mouth:
extended, but with all the strength at.
his command he used the oar with
deadly effect over the head OF the
deep sea monster. He began to think.
Of his happy home and loved ones,
but when near Gloucester Point thirty.
miles from home, and the lroad wa
ters of Chesapeake Bay in sight, the.
fish that had acted as submarine
pilot began to weary, came to near

.etraced his course, still having tow
of the boat and the fisherman. The
young man who is a consecratec

Jonah, and wondered if this fish would
land him home if he was swallowed.
Yes: he was landed home, all right
and in the boat, but not until the fish
was killed by several shots by a crew
aboard tugboat that FASTENED to-
the wireless calls of the young man.

During the night the Germans attack

7 years old, and her sisters, Beatrice
and Clara who live at No. $40 North
Simpson street, were among the
spectators in the forefront. AS the
bears were being led around by chains
one of them suddenly tore away from
the man in charge and pounced upon
little Ruth.
The animal stood up and clawed al
the child's head. The girls scream:
of agony and fear were added to by
the cries of the horror stricken wo.
men who were in the crowd. The
gypsy was unable to put the bea!

EVE EXONERATED
Alleged That Noah Ate From the
Cassia Tree And Was Cursed.

Philadelphia, August 9.-"Eve did
not eat the apple. She did not give
Adam any to eat and thus bring about
the fall of man from . state of in
nocence. 1t was Noah who fell.
He was ordered not to eat of the
cassia tree in the Garden Of Para
disc, but he did, and then the curse
fell upon him. The curse was that
he should have i'll health and an early
death, instead OF living to be $4,000
years old like his ancestors. And
all his descendants have participa-
ted in the curse. !"
All these statements are according
to the Sumerian theology and are
found in tablet that was written
before the days of Abraham, and the
tablet is now in the University Mu-
scum, Philadelphia.
Some slight hint of this was given
more than year ago, when DR..
Steven Langdon, professor of Assy-
riology in Oxford University, Eng
land, announced that the had partly
completed the translation of tablet
which he had copied while in the
University Museum of this city. DR..
Langdon says that this tablet is at
least a thousand years older than the
Genesis account, and so far as is
known, is the oldest record of the
sort in existence. The tablet was
written more than 1000 years ago,
possibly 5000 years and evidently
records tradition which goes back
to the early history of man. The
Babylonian and Ssmerian accounts
place the flood at something like
$4,000 B. c., and the lapse of time
between the creation and the flood is
lilled by ten kings, who reigncd alto
gether 100000 years, an average OF
43,200 years each.
According to the tablet, Enki, the
water god, and his consort, Ninella,
ruled over mankind in Paradise,
which is here called Dilmun. and To-
Gated on the east coast of the Arab
ian Gulf, about 100 miles from the
mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates sys-
TEN.
There were no storms, and every
thing G:as complete happiness. DoS
for some reason men displeased the
gods, and unfortunately neither here
nor elsewhere it it fully explained,
but apparently he did not worship the
gods with sufficient fervor, and L
appears that men were created simp-
~ to satisfy the gods with.a sense of
their Importance by extended human
worship.
Tagtue, or Noah, does not obey
and eats Of the cassia, whercupon
Nintu afflicts him with bodily. weak
ness; and he lives along an ihletcr'n-
med number Of years, subject to i'll
ness, and all his descendants die
early deaths, comparatively speak
;ng. According to the tablet in the
University Museum deciphcred by
DR.. Pocbel. none Of this Tagtug'S
successors, with few exceptions.
ruled more than normal years. They
tapered off very suddenly from the
above enormous figures to 200 to
1900, to 100. and finally, to norma,
length Of reigns. In the Bible the
same proportion is shown, only the
figures are smaller.
