GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
Nippur Tablet, Recently Discovered
and Translated, Has Brought Joy
to Archeologists.

A Sumerian epic that tells the story
of the reconstruction of civilization af-
ter the deluge has been discovered on
one of the famous Nippur tablets in
the University of Pennsylvania mu.
scum. Announcement of the discOv-
cry and the completion of the trans
lation of the epic has just been made
by Dr.. Stephen H. LangdOn, Sumeri-
an scholar and assistant curator Of
the museum. The epic, according to
Doctor Langdon, takes up the history
of civilization after Paradise, the fall
of man and the flood, and is sequel
to the Sumerian epic which he trans
lated a year ago. The fragment which
contains the latest history Is four and
one-half inches long and one inch
thick. 1t contains about 800 lines OF
inscriptions. 1t dates from about
225O b. c., and hence represents lit
erature older than that of the Baby
lonians and the Chaldeans. ''The boat
or ark is mentioned" Doctor Lang
don announces, "as well as Lahama,
the god of the deluge. 1t describes the
regeneration of the ancient land of
Sumeria at the hands of the god of
wisdom, who decreed that it should
be the center Of civilization

CITY ELECTION
Light Vote Because of Bad Weather and
Lack of interest.

The city election Friday brought out
very light vote. So little interest
was taken in 1t, because of only one
ticket being in the field, that only one
of the men appointed to hold the elec-
tion was present, and others were
substituted as they could be conven-
ientIy picked up.
John Q. Burnett was the officer of
election because M. W. West, who had
been named by the city authorities,
was candidate and was thereby rem
dered incompetent. H. r. Webb was
disqualified in the same way. Ed An
derson. Peter Weaver and J. S. Garri-
son were the judges and b. II. West
and u. S. Rose were clerks. Only SO
votes went in the box and one of them
was voted blank. The vote stood as
follows;
A. L. Garrison, for mayor, 55.
For aldermen, M. W. West, 81, M.
F Reed 81, Fred Cate Sc. Mike Hale
S.
n. r. Webb, for member of school
board 81.
Had the day been far there would
have been several more votes cast.
Only seven democratic votes were
cast. 1t is thought that many Demo-
Gratis refralned from voting becc use all
mem bers of the ticket were Republl-
cans.

OLD TREE STILL PRODUCTIVE
Three Centuries Ago, It Bears
Yearly Crop of Fine Fruit.

Thought to be the oldest fruit tree
In this country, the pear tree planted
280 years ago by Governor Endicott Of
Massachusetts is still thriving well and
bearing yearly crop of fruit of the
first quality. John EndicOtt purchased
a large tract of land at Danversport,
then known as the southern section Of
Salem village. The estate afterward
became known as the Endicott plan
tatiOn. Governor Endicott being a
great lover of sugar pears, sent to q
relative in Dorchester, England, for a
pear tree. After several months the
tree arrived, and at that time few peo-
ple ever believed that the tree would
live, as the roots had become very dry.
The governor, believing that he, bet
ter than anyone else, was the proper
man to plant the tree, journeyed to the
plantation and there, in a sheltered
spot close to the Danvers river, dug
hole and carefully planted it. For
many years he cared for it himself,
and it was not long before it became
the most famous of all fruit trees of
Massachusetts. This year it is esti-
mated that there were close to 5000
pears on the tree. Few people who
visited Danvers missed the opportunity
Of seeing this wonderful tree, which
was carefully guarded by picket
fence. The tree is made up of three
distinct trunks, which are partially de-
90 uod plfhouoh thp unpar SactiOn Of
the tree is quite healthy in appearance.
Endicott himself used to relate that
the tree supplied a sufficient number
Of pears to supply the entire Salem
village, which in those days numbered
less than one hundred inhabitants.
When Governor Endicott died in the
year 1866 speciai mention was made
in his will in regard to the famous tree,
which was left in care of his daughter.

from a Paris emporium was sentenced
to ten months Imprisonment. An
enormous quantity of stolen objects,
consisting chiefly of provisions and ar

apartment. Her excuse before the

laid In by her as precantion against
a siege Of Paris, an argument which
failed to move the court.

DRAG NET SPREAD
Three Put In Limboo Saturday Night by
Officers Of the Law.

Saturday night Marshal Hill Lowery
and Sheriff Sam Tollett arrested Ern'
est E. Dorton, Ex-Sheriff Vance Hinct
and Town Watson for dlsorderIy con-
duct.
When they took Ernest Dorton to
the Jail to put him IN cell he object
d to being put IN the cell with Victor
Rush, who was convicted of muroering
his brother and slster-ln law, Deputy
Sheriff Lewis Brendle struck Mr.. Dor
ton in the head twice or three times
with a pair of brass knucks and cut his
head 30 badly that DR.. V. L. Lewis
had to take three stitches IN one wound
and two in another. Dorton did not
otfer any violent resistance but told
the officers he was no criminal and did
not want to be put IN the cell with
Rush. he remained there until Sun
fore Recorder y. b. Rector and sub
mitted to the charge of being drunk
and was fined ten dollars. He was also
taken before Esq. U. S. Rose, who
placed fine of $3.50 on him.
Mr.. Dorton was arrested by Sheriff
Iollett and Deputy Brendie while ly
ing down in the coal house to the rear
of the Rector restaurant. He had not
been disorderly or boisterous but had
been drinking and when he began to
get sick wsnt to the coal house to get
out of sight and recover from the
effects of the whiskey he had drunk
No young man IN the community is
more universally liked than Ernest
Dorton, but he is afflicted with the
.weakness of net being able to refrain
from drinking occasionally. When in
that condition he IS never noisy or
quarrelsome but wants to laugh or
joke.
1t was the proper thing to do to ar
rest him for being drunk but why
officers would suffer prisoner to be
abused IN such manner is past under
standing.
Mr.. Dorton has taken out warrants
for Brendle; one tor assault and the
other for carrying brass knucks.
Watson was.pretty we'll tanked up
when he was arrested, but refused to
be put in the cell with the murderer.
Victor Rush, and the officers confined
him in a cell on the ground floor of
the Jail, where he remained until
morning.
From our Information it seems that
the arrest of Ex-Sheriff Vance Hinch
resulted from quarrel that arose be-
tween him and Sheriff Toilet. The
charge of drunkenness was lodged
against him.

Hard to Cure Suffering.

A prominent physician says elocu-
ton exercises usually aggravate slut
tering; he has never known hypnotism
to effect cure, and pyscho-analysis
used alone cannot succeed. The effec-
tive treatment is very complex and
delicate, and the slightest mistake may
make cure impossible. 1t involves
thorough study of the bodily condi-
tons, minute regulation of home in
fiuence and business habits, relaxation
of mind and body, spontaneity of ex-
preston, equilibrium of emotions, pre-
cision of thought, correction of charac-
ter, development of confidence, read
justment to environment and the learn
ing of new method of speaking.

Acquiring Good Speaking Voice.

The formation of good or a bad
speaking voice is a question of habit.
But in order to acquire that habit cas-
lily the child must hear nicely modulat-
ed voices about him. If your own
voice is harsh or nasal your child may
uncOnsciously initiate your mode of
speaking. Or if companions talk
through the nose" he may assimilate
their way of talking.
Try your best to keep your voice in
the proper pitch while your children
are about, and keep a watchful ear on
their voices. If you hear one word
spoken in a nasal twang correct it at
once, so that the child viii know the
difference between the right and the
wrong ways.
