A CHANCE FOR AN EXPERIMENT

Have plants intelligence? Do they ever
think? These are interesting questions
that would have to be answered bv tbe
statement of an observer of the WAYS of
pumpkins and melons. Sage he: Plants
otter exhibit something very much like
intelligence. If bucket of water, during
a dry season, be placed few inches from
a growing pumpkin or melon vine. the
latter will turn from its course, and in a
day or two will get one of it's leaves in
the water IA

but II there be any young gardeners

OLDER THAN CHRISTIANITY.
Now as to the age of the cliff dwell
ings. Biologists have about decided
that ruins are covered up by the de-
composition of vegetation at the rate
of about an inch in a thousand years.
Down in Montezuma county, near
Cortez, there is a ruin which was dis
covered at depth of twenty-five feet.
The ruin is twelve feet high, or the
bottom is about thirty-four feet from
the surface. Allowing for sandstorms
and the like, it is probable that the
cliff dwellings are not less than $500
years old. This is substantiated by a
Navajo legend, which says that about
that length of time they drove race
of people beyond the Colorado canyon.
The Moquis tell about somewhat
similar battle which occurred at about
the same time. One feature about the
Navajo legend, which is still fresh in
the minds of the race, is that the cliff
jewellers were driven beyond the great
canyon; the Navajo warriors saw a
great many sink into the waters. 1t
was told that the men had been
turned into fish, and to this day you
cannot get Navajo to eat fish, be-
cause he thinks it is human flesh
Major Cooper, during his residence
among the tribes had many interest
ing experiences, one of which was the
witnessing of a ceremony OF the Pen
itentes of New Mexico. He saw man
crucified and die of his injuries on a
rude cross which had been erected
for the annual sacrifice. During the
time of his researches Major Cooper
spent some time in company with
Charles l.. Lummis and Frank Cush-
ing, whose writings on the subject
have become quite popular.-De

A Strange Shooting Array.

Harry Frzzel, 10, shot Mrs. Edith Caldon
Young, Ss, and then himself at Plymouth, N. H.,
last week Wednesday. Mrs Young ran a board.
ing house. and Frizzell, who is a relative by mar.
riage, had been staying there several days Both
were found unconscious with bullet wounds in
the head and on the floor was note from the boy
saying that he and EIDE" had rather die than
De separated. Frizzel regained consciousness in
a few hours, and he said the shooting was done
and the letter written at the suggestion of the
woman. Mrs. Young did not regain her senses
until later, but her story differed greatly from
that OF the boy. She says she despised Frizzell
and wished him to leave her boarding house. tnat
She. had no idea of killing herself nor did she
plan to have Frizzell shoot her. She was in the
sitting room when she heard the door open and
Frizzell entered and with an oath threw his arm
about her neck from behind and shot her in the
ear Both are in serious condition, but may re-
cover.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES
A Young Mans Fall.

The business career in Athol of Chas. Fred
erick Parsons alias Robert c. Wilbur, has been
suddenly terminated by his arrest for stealing.
Parsons, who is about IS years of age, came to
Athol with his wife about three months ago, and
hired desk room in the insurance Office of John
L. King He advertised as Robert G. Wilbur,
manager of the merchants retail collecting as
socation, and for time did good business. AZ
ter a while he grew dilatory in turning over the
money he had collected, and creditors began to
push him for the payment of his hotel printing
and other bills. The climax came Thursday.
when he was arrested for the larceny of Sl5O
from the safe of H. c. Ellis, in his store at Mil
lington, where Wilbur had asked permission to
write a letter at his desk. He was arrested on
the train at Orange by Deputy Sheriff Fowler,
while on his way from Greenfield TO Athol.
