GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
NIppur Tablet, Recently Discovered
and Translated, Has Brought Joy
to Archeologlsts

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 MI
scum. Announcement of the discov'
cry and the completion OF the trans
lation of the epic has just been made
by DIR. Stephen II. Langdon, Sumeri
an scholar and assistant curator OF
the museum. The epic, according tc
Doctor Langdon, takes up the history
of civilization after Paradise. the fall
Of man and the flood, and Is a sequel
to the Sumerian epic which he trans
lated year ago. The fragment which
contains the latest history Is four ant
one-half inches long and one Incl
thick. It contains about 300 lines OF
inscriptions. II dates from about
2250 b. O., and hence represents lit
erature older than that Of the Baby
lonians and the Chaldeans. "rhe boat
or ark Is mentioned" Doctor Lang
don announces las well as Lahama
the god of the deluge. II describes the
regeneration Of the ancient land OF
Sumerla at the hands of the god Of
wisdom, who decreed that II SHOULD
be the center Of civilization"

OLD TREE STILL PRODUCTIVE
Planted BY Governor Endicott Nearly
Three Centuries Ago. II Bears
Yearly Crop Of Fine Fruit.

Thought to be the oldest fruit tree
ia this country. the pear tree planted
$50 years ago by Governor Endicott OF
achusetts is still thriving well and
bearing yearly crop of fruit Of the
first quality. John Endicott purchased
large tract Of land at Danversport.
then known as the southern section or
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 q
pear tree. After several months the
tree arrived, and at that time few peo-
Die 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 q sheltered
spot close to the Danvers river. dug
hole and carefully planted It, For
many years he cared for 1t himself,
and 1t was not long before 1t 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 a picket
fence. The tree is made up of three
distinct trunks, which are partially de-
cayed, although the upper section 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 special mention was made
In his win in regard to the famous tree,
which was left in care OF his daughter.

LET THE IMAGINATION LOOSE
Well Tor Many 81 " Would be : ne.
turn TO Belief IN Gods and
Fairies.


When the world was young, people
believed that spirits dwelt In trees, in
storms and in mountains When the
wind blew they heard the voice OF
Boreas, when the ocean beat with I'M
usual force against the rocks they
knew Neptune was angry with them.
Phaeton, the glorious son Of Heiios,
daily drove his chariot sun across the
heavens; Jove flashed his displeasure
in the lightnlngs. and gods looked
down from the stars at night or dwelt
on earth disguised as flowers Of the
meadow.
Nowadays there is a growing ton
dency. fortunately for art and poetry.
to again let the Imagination loose.
There Is conscious effort being made
by many grown-ups to stay young by
keeping In touch with youth, with the
lore Of the gods and legendary folk.
Age comes when we no longer believe
in beauty, In gods and fairies, when we
deny fancy for what we are pleased to
call fact, when we no longer peer
among the flowers for their spirit. but
tear them apart that we may count
their petals or see how their stamens
are formed.
Now, the first people. In order not
to so far forget themselves as to for
get the gods, made images Of them and
set them about their gardens or in
their houses, where they could be con
stantly seen. To this very day stone
or wooden Buddha sits under a
matched shelter at the head OF the
rice fields In japan that the laborers
may see him and thus remember to In
woke his aid with their crops, and
every italian garden has shrine or an
image Of god or goddess. Thus the
world Of worship. imagery, legend and
history is kept in remembrance.--T

ThIef Feared sleae q Paris.

A woman shoplifter who was caught
in the act of appropriatIng a curtain
from Paris emporium was sentenced
to ten months Imprisonment. An
enormous quantity of stolen objects,
consisting chiefly of provisions and ar
ticles OF clothing, was found at her
apartment. Her excuse before the
judge was that the articles had been
laid in by her as a precaution against
siege of Paris, an argument which

Washington, April 13.-President
Wilson, speaking at a jefferson day
banquet of democrats from all parts
of the country here tonight, prayed
that the United States would not be
drawn into a quarrel not of its own
choosing, but asked if the people
were ready to go in where the inter-
ests of America were coincident with
the interest of humanity and have the
courage to withdraw when the inter
ests Of humanity had been conserved.
He was interrupted by cheers and
shouts of yes"
During his address the president
had mentioned the European war and
the Mexican question. without init
mating what were his plans in either
Of the problems confronting the Unit
ed States.
He declared that in the present sit
uation the responsibility was with the
democratic party because that party
controls the government and that ut
is for u.s. to hold the balance even
and not to allow some malign inter-
ference to depress one side or the
other.

Believe They Are to Chase
Villa.


Douglas, Ariz., April l3.--Gen. Ar
nulfo Gomez. commanding the de fac
to Mexican troops on the Sonora-chi-
huahua boundary, said today in an
interview. that he is ready to move
with $500 cavalry and infantry
through Pulpito pass into Chihuahua
al any time he Is ordered to do so by
Gen. Alvaro Ohregon, secretary OF
war in the de faeto cabinet.
General Gomez said that his col
umn is amply provisioned and
equipped for long, hard campaign,
but the order of Obregon, which has
been anticipated for several days, has
not yet arrived.
1t is the personal opinion of Gomez
that he will be sent into Chihuahuh
with his veterans, to take up the tran
OF villa where the American punitive
expedition drops il. He expressed
confidence that the Americans would
withdraw from Mexico, since it APP
pears certain that Villa has escaped,
at least temporarily.
The orders for the movement must
come from General Obregon, ac-
cording to Gomez, az he alone has the
power to move troops from one state
to another. His movement as FAR as
the chihuahua border was directed by

MEXICiNS DISARMED
ALONG LINE OF MARCH

Columbus, n. NJ, April 13.-Many
Mexicans along the American line OF
march in Mexico, have been dis
armed by the United States forces, ac-
cording to arrivals at the border to-
night
Gen. ]. ]. Pershing, it was said, re-
garded this step as necessary to the
protection of his command since he
has received reliable information that
numbers of Villas scattered followers
are infesting the route.
Coonia Dublan is being made the
most important of the long chain OF
bases in Mexico, the arrivals said.
For its protection semi-circular
trenches have been dug. 1t has con-
eealed artillery and machine gun Lat
teries.
Some concern has been expressed
by the natives as to the number OF
truck trains which have been making
their way to the south, it was said,
the Mexicans apparently believing
each train a new one. The Mexican
estimate of the number of troops In
Mexico was given as 10000.
The Carranza note asking the with
drawal Of the American troops from
Mexico excited much interest here
but no information was given out
from official sources concerning any
alteration to be made in General Pei :
shing's campaign.
