them.

Birds Store Pebbles
Instead of Acorns

SAN FRANCISCO. June 23.-Some.
body has been fooling the woodpeck-
ers of Sonoma county. or else the bird.
are suffering from a mild form of in.
sanity, according to a learned docu-
ment issued by the Museum Of verte-
brate Zoology Of the University Of Cal
ifornia, which says:
THE reason why California wood
peckers in the vicinity Of Sonoma
mountain should have stored pebbles
instead of the customary acorns is a
mystery. We know that instinct
works as automatically as an alarm
clock. In the failure of an acorn crop
1t would seem possible that the wood
peckers might instinctively store some
other available kind of food, but to
have chosen stones instead OF some
sort Of food carries the analogy too
far"

FRANK JAMES LIVES
UPON FAMILY FARM
Once Notorious Bandit Now
Is Honored and Respected
Citizen Of Community.

DENVER, June 23-within the last
fews months thsre have come many
storie regarding Frank James. the one
time bandit Frank James has died in
Oregon, California, and few other
States, he has gotten religion" In the
East, and he has been active generally.
And the queer part about II Is that he
is alive and in good health, and is
spending his last days on the old James
farm, a few miles from Kearney, Mo-,
where Jesse James is buried.
This IL the information that is brought
10 Denver by L. Wright, a motion pic
ture proprietor, who recently made a
visit TO the farm in Missouri. When he
returned he brought a statement with
him. signed by various citizens Of Kear-
ney. and which reads as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that we, the
following citizens of Kearney, Clay
county. Mo, hereby affirm that we
are personally acquainted with the
original Frank James, brother Of
Jesse James, and that he is now en-
loving good health and is living on
the old James homestead about
three miles northeast of this city,
and we Furthermore state that he Is
an honored and respected citizen Of
this community. .
II went back to get Mr.. James opin-
ion regarding law and order" Mr..
Wright said. Il am the proprietor of a
set of Jesse James pictures and 1 had
received the criticism that they were
not moral ! contended exactly the op-
posite-that they showed the bad effects
of a life of crime So i went back to
get some expression from Frank James
on II. He told me this:
"1f any one thinks they can violate
the law and make a success OF IL. con-
slider them insane and their finish will
be the gallows or the penitentiary.'"
Frank James contends that he was
innocent Of all the charges Of outlawry
placed against him. He points to his
acquittal as evidence.
