A LEGEND OF EASTER.

The story runs that when Adam
felt death approach he called his son
Seth to his side and babe him ask the
archangel, the keeper of the garden,
for a balsam that should save him
from death.
THE time of pardon is not yet come"
said the archangel -Four thousand
years must pass. But as a token that
his future pardon is assured the wood
whereon redemption shall be won shall
grow from Adams Tomb
E3 then gave three seeds to Seth
and babe him place them in his IA
theirs mouth when he died. Adam died
three days later. Seth obeyed the di-
rectiOns of the archangel, and the place
Of his fathers sepulcher was Golgotha,
where in course of time three trees
grew from the seeds. One was a cedar,
another a cypress and the third a pine.
1t was with bough from one Of these
trees that Moses performed his mira
Giles in Egypt, brought water out Of
the rock and healed those whom the
serpents had bitten in the wilderness.
After a time the three trees incOrpo-
rated themselves with each other and
became a single tree, beneath which
David sat when he bewailed his SINS
In the days of Solomon the tree had
become the finest of all trees, so was
cut down to assist in the building of
the temple. But magic seemed to have
taken possession of the wood, for
nothing which it was wanted to serve
for would answer until at last Solo
mon cast the tree over Cedron so that
all might trample on it as they crossed
the brook.
There it was discovered by the queen
of Sheba, and she, recognizing it's vir-
tue, had it raised. 1t was then buried,
but the spot where it lay became the
pool of Bethesda and healed all the
sick who focked to it. When the time
of the crucifxion drew near the beam
of wood rose to the surface and was
brought out of the water, and when
the executiOners sought for beam for
the cross they discovered this and
found that it fitted their purpose. So
the prophecy was fulfilled.

starboard air compressor and one of
the periscope motors, which had been
Jared by the shock of the first explo-
sion. We had hardly got ourselves
shipshape when the morning dawned.

Miles Nervine, and I began to improve
before 1 had finished the first bottle
until 1 was entirely cured"
MRS. JOSEPH SNYDER,
262 Hudson ST., Tifin, Ohio.
Many remedies are recommended
for diseases Of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervinc has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
call it, "Iamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

appeared before the body to argue
for the endorsement and his stand
was later supported by George Nor
man.
Mr.. Parrish called the attention OF the
central labor body 10 the fact that the
$4,000 will merely liquidate the out
standing Indebtedness against the Audi
forum, and that all stockholders In the
Auditorium corporation have either al
ready turned their stock over TO the city
free OF charge or have signified their
willingness 20 do 20.
The issue now is whether Omaha can
afford 70 be without the Auditorium"
ssieclared Mr.. Parrish. One OF the prin-
eipal objections 10 It's being taken over
ny the city seems 10 be that II Il too
small
