Umcems@red Sense
 and Nonsense

(By Remik)
 The day was sunny,
 Twas likewise cam,
 When Adam said to Eva
 Let's quit this sham"
 Then Eve changed the plan
 That was mapped out for man
 When she said to her husband
 T don't care, A-DAM."s
 I promised to make some discloS- ures in regard to Adam and Eve few days ago. I made the disclos- ures all right and on schedule time. hut the editor of this paper evident ly thought that my disclosures were too near to natures heart, or some thing, for he censored the story down to the minimum Now l am going to send it forth again-changed of course, to suit him.
 You will understand, when you read this once entrancing story what real censorship means to talented writer You will also note that cen soring story takes the sense as well as connection out of it. Here is what the Editor LEFT.
 Adam and Eve were the best peo pie of their day Their ancestral line was perfect. They were of the exclusive class, though there was never enough of them to make quorum. They dressed in the style of their time. Adam was reflec- tion of the latest fashion plate, wear ing as he did (right here is where the Editor cut out whole lot of fast reading things that have never been published and from the way ii looks now, never will be-.
 It is true that Eve ran out of dress goods every autumn inasmuch as the foliage of fig trees died out in the fall then, very much as it does today. However at such a time Eve used to climb a pepper tree and later appeared in-(here again comes the heavy line of Prussian blue drawn through high class stuff that Bryant. Moore, Whitman and those sort of fellows would be envious over-but it is all lost to the world now. It really is hard to make an intelligent story out of it now, and one has to use so much deftness in order to avoid further censoring).
 Anyhow. and to continue. If Eve should come among US nere today with her quaint ways and primitive dress, she would no doubt find many followers. tNote that I got by with that for some reason) Now take one of our rainy or muddy days when our own Eyes appear on the streets. (Here he cuts out much that is to be desired in the line of interesting reading.)
 Continuing, I would say that Adam and Eva lived happily together q think) for many years. There was one incident in their lives-brought about by a snake story that was, to say the least eventful, and another episode that occurred in apple pickin' time which I will now explain-at this point. all is blue pencil-all stuff that has never been in print. I sup pose most great writers meet up with setbac<s of this sort 1 am sure that many readers of The Republican would enjoy reading my apple story but then what's the use?-it's gone.
 When Adams and Eve fought (and they foughD they settled their troub les alone-there were no lawyers then. When they were i'll they healed hemselves-there were no docs back there They never had to lie about how much they enjoyed grand opera. There were lots of things they didn't have to do, such as riding across rough car tracks or over bad roads.
 Now in the matter of the forbidden fruit of which We have read, I should say that it is plain tAat-but the censorial pencil has killed literary gem here and you will have to finish the above sentence to suit yourself, and when I come to think of it, per haps that is the safest way because there are so many conflicting views and after all it was but MY opinion. only it was clothed in such beautiful language that it's loss is deplorabe.
