THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Will Be Brought Back to Omaha on
Land Fraud Charge.
Omaha, Nov. 29. With tho arrest of
Amid Todd hv federal secret service
men in Denver the Hartlott Richards' ,
unlawful land fencing caso Is practlc-
ally reopened. Tho charge against j
Todd Is subornation of perjury. He Is
alleged to havo secured filings upon
homesteads which wero relinquished
to Richards nnd Comstoclc, tho two
cnttlo barons who recently pleaded
guilty to tho charge of renclng 212,
000 acres or government lnnd, and
wero each fined $300 and costs and six
hours In tho marshal's custody by
Judge Munger.
Todd Is alleged to have secured a
great number or soldiers' and widows'
filings for the benefit ot Richards and
rVrniRtnclC.
The prisoner formerly lived in
C Ion's Trndltlon About Adam nnd
Eve's First Hnlillallon.
Ceylon, in local tradition, wns tho
garden of Eden, and you will be
bhowu Adam's peak to prove it, and
Adam's bridge, the chain of rocks nnd (
islets which the maps show stretching
across from Ceylon to the coast of Iu-j
din. Kvp, or Helm, as tho eastern sto-1
ry cnllrt her, was well satisfied with '
nor lot in tno garocn oi ivyiuu, m.,
Ataml, manllko, showed a disposition '
to rove, or, as we might now say, ('mi
grate. One dny whllo wandering on j
the west coast ho met a strange man, .
wlio In the course of conversation held
.. m . ... .. .... I.. ...I.... ... mi. .... I r?
ooioro mm ii iiiai-iiiuiiiiB iiuuuuium " .
the lovely country across tho waters
gardens nnd rich orchnrds, valleys
teeming with birds and gazelles and,
all the rest. Ataml had seen nothing (
like It In Ceylon. .lie had always been ,
trying to coax Helm into emigration
without success, but now his mind was
nmdo up, nnd he went homo to tho
shades of Adam's peak and ordered
her peremptorily to pack up and make
ready for a start. Heba pleaded In
rnln, but Ataml was persistent and
led tho way across "Adam's bridge"
to India, where ho found, to his dls
uiav. n drear.v and forbidding wilder
ness. Tho panorama man (It will bo
readily guessed who ho was) had de
ceived Ataml, nnd the disappointed
wanderer fell Into despnir. Then It
was that the angel messenger came
and gave the disobedient Ataml orders
to go on into the desert and wild places
nnd suffer the nuulshment that wns
his due. Ataml's nobility of spirit
1 showed ltsolf here, for ho begged tho
, angel to intercede that his own pun
ishment might bo doubled nnd Heba
' permitted to return to tho garden of
Eden nnd bo given a fresh mate nnu
a fresh start! You will be apt to think
thnt this chlvalrlc example of gallau
try sot by tho heroic Atunil has uot
been generally emulated by his de
scendants In that comer of the world
when you see a native wnlklng along
enjoying a smoko or n chow of bhang
whllo his wlfo struggles wenrlly be
hind wltli tho family load on her deli
cate head!
