ADAMS BIG FAMILY.-The q

mits of interesting analysis Consid-
cred as a historical record, the first
part of the book of Genesis, up to the
time of Abraham, is merely a synop-
sis. The author has evidently cop
led from preceding work. His chief
care is of Abraham's time and the
events following, and as a result we
have in the first few chapters of Gem
esis the best example of historical
breVity on record. Knowing that the
author belonged to that school of
scientists who believed in the fiat
earth theory, we should make allow
ance for the absence of sound scien-
tific knowledge.
The truth is that the sons and
daughters who did nothing to distin-
guish themselves are omitted from
the genealogical record. The names
that are given are Of those who were
famous in their day-great men and
women of renown. This fact is in a
measure verified as the account
shows. Jubal was the inventor of the
harp and organ. Tubal Cain was an
instructor and artiflcer in brass and
iron. Adah and Zillah are renowned
for becoming the wives Of the same
man at the same time. Cain built the
city of Enoch, and Enoch was, most
probably, ruler over it.
AS further evidence that only the

there that Enoch is the only son of
Cain mentioned That Trad is the
only son of Enoch mentioned. That
Mehujael is the only son of Trad
mentioned, and so on down to La
mech. Will any one believe that
Enoch was the only child that Cain.
had and that Trad was the only child
that Enoch had? Moreover, 1 do not
believe we should infer that Enoch
was Gains first child, or that Trad was
Enoch's first. Like Franklin they
may have been the sixteenth in Sc
quence of birth. Those named are
not mentioned because they were first
born but because they were re-
nowned men. Hence Cain may have
been preceded by several children,
Another point in proof of the fact
that those mentioned are not the
only sons and daughters: There are
the wives of Lamech and the I'M
named young men that Lamech slew.
(Gen. 4:23.)
Further examination of the text
will bring out many more points of in
terest. For example, would Judge
that the event of Gains crime hap
pened when he and Abel were nearly
a hundred years Of age. How do
find that? When Seth is born Eve
is comforted (Gen. 4:25), which
shows that the event was yet fresh
in her mind. And as Adam was 40
years old when he begot Seth, the
event, suggest, occurred within the
80 years prior to Seth's birth. Adams
progeny are many by this time be-
cause Cain fears death at their hands
(Gen. 4:14).
After he begot Seth, Adam lived
800 years and begat sons and daugh-
tiers. My knowledge of human ma
ture does not warrant me in believ-
ing that men wait until their later
years to bring forth progeny. Adam
had many sons and daughters before
Seth, as well as after. If he had them

TAX COMMISSIONER
CONDEMNS PROPERTY
TAXATION IN ADDRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. BE.
H. Wolcott, member of the Indiana
state tax commission, in an address
today before the ninth annual confer
ence of the National Tax association,
condemned general property taxation
as it exists in some states as "inef-
fective and unenforcible." The trouble
was, he said, in taxing intangible prop
erty under a general law, such as
mortgages, stocks, bonds and the like.
Mr. Wolcott recommended as a sub
stitute system of classification of
certain properties for taxation pur
poses" He cited the general property
tax law of Indiana as one covering a
multitude of sins, the sins of omis-
sion" under which "the amount OF
property that escapes taxation cannot
be definitely computed He said he
had written to the taxing officers Of
other states tailoring under the same
law" and that from the replies re-
ceived "it was really astonishing to
note the chaotic condition of the tax
ing laws in many states"

An alligator pear tree has been insured
by Lloyd's for $4,000. This makes an
American tree, situated in Los Angeles
county, CAL, the most valuable tree in the
world. Through the enterprise of Lloyd's
of London, this tree is insured against
wind or rain. This Avocado tree grows
on fruit ranch in Whittier, Cal. Last
year it produced 5000 pears. which
brought the owner an average OF so cents
apiece. Besides the pears, which are
used extensively for salads, the owner
received 81 800 for the bud wood, so the
total amount brought by the tree last year
was $1,000, which is equivalent TO the
interest lat per cent OF a $4,000 in
vestment. Not only IS the tree valuable
in the production OF fruit and bud wood,
but valuable by-products can be taken
from the fruit, allowing no waste in the
event of overripeneSs or spelling. The
seed is used for the making OF black dye,
and any fruit unfit for market purposes
can be squeezed and the oil expressed.
1t is used for the finer grades OF soap and
in rare perfumed oils.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. J.. w. LentZ, 'of Orders, Breth-

his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his life was saved.
William Mionich, in Pendleton county

gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
