Mrs. Marion Wood had this unique experience as she fished her favforite spot early one morning last week. Suddenly she discovered standing near her a tall, long haired man. He also was fishing the stream, and wore a bright colored scarf and old unkept clothing. He announced that he was Adam and began telling Mrs. Wood all about his thrilling experience in the Garden of Eden. Fearing that he might mistake her for Eve, Mrs Wood gathered in her line, and departed, leaving all the fishing to Adam. Meyrick Outlines Recreation For.
