al Image Oh a Dig crucifix, carried by
an altar on the street. 1t was then
that the convenient cavity opened up
and he was engulfed by the earth.
That very day all the trees which
he had planted, except Ell Arbol NAL
ditto, dried up and died-and SO did
the birds which he had fed from his
own hand. An attempt was made to
cut down the tree that did not dry
up, but the foolish man who made the
attempt dropped dead on stepping un-
der the shadow Of the foliage. AS no
one had the temerity to approach and
remove 1T the mans body had to be
left there to be eaten by the crows.
Since that day many have met q
tragic death under the tree. A pedes-
train who went under 1t for shade on a
summer day was bitten by snake
and died in tow hours. Three men on
different occasions sought shelter from
rain under its branches and were
struck by lightning.
woman hanging some clothes to
dry from the trunk of the tree was at
tackled by goat that came from mo-
body knows where and was never seen
again. Three years ago little boy,
riding burro. led his animal to the
tree. He was thrown of and kicked to
death.
The last victim Of this fatal tree
was man by the name of MelQuiades
Arevalo, who ran under 1t for shell
ter during rainstorm q year ago, and.
like his predecessors, he was struck
by lightning
The antipathy that the poems have
for this tree is such that they refuse
to work in the fields for half mile
around it. Some time ago Prospero
Garcia, proprietor Of the ranch where
Ell Arbol Maldito grows, resolved to
have it blown up with dynamite, but
no doubt he has been unable to find a

LEFT EVIL LEGACY
MISFORTUNE BANS TREE PLANT
ED BY BAD MAN.
Superstitious Mexicans Believe I'M
pIicitIy In Story Of Misspent Life
and Its Punishment-Tra
Deaths Have Been Many.

The tree of Tula and the tree of Sad
Night are known throughout the world
but there is a tree in Mexico which
has acquired local reputation some
what shady.
Ell Arhol Maldito is said to have
been planted by a asgentleman who had
the misfortune to be swallowed up by
Mother Earth on account of his crimes.
He was known throughout the country
as unhomhre muy malo He never
went to mass, never confessed his
sins, nor did he have the image Of a
saint in his house, wear rosary
around his neck or make the sign Of
the cross as a respectable man should.
He never gave beggar even centa-
vito, and when he met padrecito on
the street he did not deign to remove
his hat.
Now IT was rumored, says Modern
Mexico, that this gentleman was re-
sponsibIe for many murders and afro
cious crimes of every description, but
he was never confined in jail because
it was known that ne had compact
with the devil, so that whenever he
invoked his Majesty he was rendered
invisiblesto the human eye, or at least
so small that he could easily escape.
He was Stunned by all, and he had
neither friends nor relatives.
But a peculiar thing about this man
was that he loved the trees, the birds
and all the animals He planted a
great many trees and fed q flock Of
birds every morning.
It was many years ago that the
event of his departure took place. but
is still remembered by the ancient in
habitants Of the neighborhood. Every
body on the Haciendita ranch had at
tended the religious services of the
morning, and they were returning
home when terrific noise was heard.
They rushed to the street where 1t
came from, and there they saw how
the earth had opened up under the
Feet Of that hombre muy malo. He
was enYeloped by thick flames and
smoke and quickly disappeared be-
meath the surface Of the earth.
This was considered a just punish.
ment in view of the situation, and
every one was exceediniy pleased.
While the faithful had been attending
the services Of the church the cursed
one had nothing else to do but place 2

spolIInn 3 var story.

There is certain war veteran in
boston whom we will call William
Brown. He has an honorable record
and is fond Of relating incidents Of
The rebellion. He often tells how he
got cut on the head from the sword
of 4 confederate cavalryman. There
is a small bare place which he says
was the scar Of this wound. Many
a time we who work in the same office
with him have heard this story.
Brown has a brother Charles who
came into the Office the other day

life is more so. As a friend of his
has said: He is not one of the
pampered sons of fortune. but ra-
ther one who had the duties of
manhood thrust upon him while
yet beardless boy. One who,
unaided by wealth or influence, has
carved out his own destiny with
his bare hands in the sweat of his
brow. A man who in every walk
and avocation has met the duties
of life manfully and courageously
and performed them to the salts
faction of his people. A man un-
supported by clique or clan, and
who, if elected Governor of this
great Commonwealth. will have no
kitchen cabinet behind him to dc
tate his appointments. A man
who is not the favorite of the rail-
roads, nor the pet of corporate
greed, for he believes in equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none, but who looks alone for
support to the great disinterested
mass of the people. With no i'm
portant friends to reward and no
enemies to punish, he can, and will
if elected, be the Governor Of, the
entire people.

Mnd Housea auILt ax Wasps.

A naturalist has thus described the
habits Of species of wasp that makes
it's nest of mud, says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. The mud of which their
nests are composed, he said, is often
carried for some distance, and it is
essential for them to use good, stffI
clay. At the edge of some pond or
stream you may see these insects roll
sticky little balls out of the stiff mud
with their strong jaws. With this
heavy load Of Maud they rise slowly,
and, having gained some height, they
get their bearings and fly in straight
line to their nest. In this they resem-
BILE the bees; indeed, all the wasps
and bees seem to have a wonderful
faculty for flying directly home from
any point. When the wasp has gained
the place selected for a building site
she puts the tiny ball Of mud against
the wall of the building and ribs 1T
tight by moving her head from side to
side very rapidly. The outer surface
Of the nest shows a series of rings,
with sharply defined lines between
most of them, but the interior is al
ways extremely smooth and almost a
perfect cylinder. While building her
nest the insect continually runs in and
out Of the tiny cylinder, examining IT
minutely with her ''feelers." II a
rough place is felt on the inner sur
face she carefully sets to work and
trubs it smooth. When the cylinder Is
finished the wasp goes hunting for
spiders.

there has been a woeful laxity in the
matter of marrying, which there is

Charity Naturally. Painful.

General Booth, the head of the
Salvation Army, was discussing the
anti-suicide bureaus that his church
has opened.
Kindness and charity" he said
"are factors of these bureaus. The
charity will be the right kind, l trust.
There are, you know, two kinds of
charity, and too much of 1t is like
the BARRIERS.
There was a poor deacon in War
wick who had no money and needed
to be shaved, and he went from bar
Der to barber, but none of them, de-
spite his holy Office, was willing to
shave him for nothing.
'In the end, though, he found a
barber who, on hearing his tale, said
gruffly:
"'Sit down there in that that
chair
And this barber shaved him. But
the razor he used! Dear me! Its
dull edge, and the hicks in it! Under
the operation the tears flowed in
rivulets down the poor deacon's
cheeks.
Suddenly the BARRIERS dog in the
adjacent room set up terrific howl
ing.
"'Be still. there!" cried the bar
Der. And he muttered anxiously:
What can they be doing to him?'
'Alas' said the deacon. I should
not wonder if some one was shaving
him out of charity"

Little Gray Lady" tells a yarn in
connection with the first production
of that play, which If it does not

ed Mr.. Campbell, who, like most the
atrical managers, considers nothing
in this world difficult after several
years experience in managing stars.
Mr.. Pollock, only too willing to
please, sat down and wrote this
couplet which seemed particularly
apropos of the play:
A man made weak by loving,
Then strong by being loved.

Sometimes our court martials mis-

First Lieutenant George A. F. Trum-
bo. Thirteenth United States cavalry,
wrote the following letter to the
mother of a deserter:
1T gives me great pleasure to
inform you that your son, who is
about the most worthless scoundrel
| ever saw, is a deserter from the
United States army.
Il sincerely hope to see him be-
hind the bars for at least two years.
Hope this will be source of condo
lence to you
The court martial convened at
Fort Monroe. Va. found Lieutenant
Trumbo not guilty of the charge of
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman, but guilty of conduct to
the prejudice of good order and mil
itary discipline. The sentence of
the court was that the lieutenant
should be reprimanded and confined
within the limits of the station for
months. 1t is entirely inadequate
There could positively be no mitigat'

which gentleman could write such
letter to a mother. No matter
