 Perhaps one of the best known and most popular business men in Juneau is w. w. Casey. proprietor of the largest transfer concern in the city. MT. Casey was born in Watertown, New York, and educated there. He came to Glendive Montana in 1881 and built the first house erected there. He moved to Seattle in 1888 and stay ed there nine years in the furniture business. In 1897 Mir. Casey came to Alaska and started what has proved to be very extensive transfer busi- ness by freighting over the Chilkoot Pass from Dyea.
 Coming down to Juneau in 1898 he continued his interests in the dray- age business and ever since has been a prominent figure in Juneau. Interest ed in the city as we'll as in his own business. Mir. Casey was instrument tai in securing the school building which is now used by the grade school and which was erected fourteen years ago. He has served several terms on the school board, and is at present member of that body and its sec retary for the present year.
 Mir. Casey, in conjunction with Henry Shattuck and Allen Shattuck, is one of the owners of the Casey Shattuck Addition which has been

age-Eben was we'll past his youth
and II was not believed that, If prop
erly entertained. she would remain
permanently averse TO matrimony.
When he announced that he was en-
gagged, not to Ellen but to Eliza Little

sip. for Eliza, although an excellent
woman and housewife. was ten years
older than he and Of unalluring voice
and feature.
"Eben. why did ye do it," Uncle Eli
Emmons at last inquired frankly. from
the keg which Morley politely always
left free for him. as the dean Of
the social circle Of the grocery. until
he appeared to claim it.
Eben. slowly slowing assorted pack
ages in his various bulging pockets,
recognized the questioner as the
spokesman of a public opinion natu-

affairs. He was not offended.

LEcTURINe ADAM AND EVE
Somewhat Humorous Painting in Ger
man Church, Work Of Artist OF
the Middle Ages.

In the Church Of Saint Sebaldus at
Nuremberg there is a delightful mural
painting which makes one merry even
to recall it. The subject is the Garden
of Eden. Adam and Eve are being
lectured by an elderly man in flowing
robes with a long white beard. His
beard alone would more than supply
Adam and Eve with the covering they
lack.
In as easy attitude. with neither
haste nor anxiety. he is pointing out
to them the error of their ways. He
Is as detached in manner as though he
were a professor lecturing at Leipsic
on the fourth dimension Of space.
Adam is somewhat detected and re-
clines upon the ground. Eve, un-
abashed, with nothing on but the ap-
pie she is munching, is evidently in a
reckless mood. She looks like a child
Of fifteen. with her hair down her
back; the defiance of her attitude is
that Of a naughty little girl.
The world-old problem is under dis
cussion, but with an air of good hui
NOR and cheerfulness on the part OF
the lecturer, as though there we're still
time in the world, as though hurry
were an undiscovered human attrib-
ute. as though possibly the world
would still go on even II the problem
were left unsolved. and this first leafy
parliament adjourned sine die.-New
