Going Further Back.

A man who had suddenly become very rich went to live in New York and began to spend money with a lavish hand. He decided that his name needed advertising, so be visited a genealogist "I suppose,” he said, “if I pay you enough you can trace my family back to Adam.” "My dear sir,” replied the genealogist "If you’re willing to put up the money we can prove by evolution that your family existed before Adam.”— Lippincott’s Magazine.
