ROASTED BY
EX.SHERIFF
Virtue Uses Word Stencil
and Says Beard Has
Been Found Out

Former Sheriff George Virtue, who
declared last night at the meeting OF
the executive committee of the New
Idea IN the New Auditorium that the
Essex Board of Freeholders was a
stencil in the county" was asked to-
day if he had anything to add to his
statement.
you know, as well as I do, what the
freeholder situation is" he said to an
EVENING STAR reporter. III you
want something tina is u~p-to-date why
don't you see some official now in
office?
1.-The conditions which existed when
/ was in office six years g were bad
enough" he continued, but they are
perhaps worse today. But l am not
to be drawn into any controversy on
the subject.
'In what / said last night | had the
purpose of calling attention to the ne
cessity of doing away with the free
holders altogether.
Sheriff Frank Sommer showed what
the freeholders of today are when he
made known the conditions at Over
brook. If the county affairs were man
aged by a commission or a small board.
grating and other evils would cease.
Mr.. Virtue refused again to enter into
any specific charges Or to point out
any particular direction to which his
criticism might apply.
1.-THE Colby movement has brought
about many important reforms in the
State. Before we get through we must
take up county reforms and finally city
reforms" were his final word on the
matter.

Europe. A tall young soldier took
him through the historic house,
pointing out each object of interest
with a long stick.
Ere, SIR he said in one of the
state chambers, "'ere is an ancient
old portrait of Queen Bess A fine

The American looked at the por-
trait, and there was long, impress
i've silence. To break this Silence
more than for any other reason the
visitor finally said:
"Queen Bess, eh2 She was a pret-
ty old lady when she died, wasn't
she?"
The guide shook his head
Not pretty, sir, but very DID," he
said.

THE ANCIENT 30 TREE.
Oldest Living Thing of Which Man
Has Kept Record.

This DO tree (the Eicus religiosa)
is probably the Oldest living thing
in the world of which record has
been kept BY man and, with the pos
sible exception of the sequola, the
Oldest of living trees. 1t was
brought from India by the Princess
Sanghamitta and was planted by
King Dewananpiya Tissa in 2SS B.
C. 1t is therefore 2,195 years old.
The preservation of this tree has
been an object of revercnt sohcitude
to successive dvnasties, and either
through superstitious reverence or
because of its worthlessness to a
plunderer it has been spared amid
all the havoc of repeated invaslons.
As recently as 1889 A. D. it was en-
dowed with lands by Kaja Sinah, a
kandian chief.
The DO trees age and identity are
matters of absolutely faithful rec
ord, and when one recalls that in
the rigorous climate of northern
Germany, in Hildesheim, there
grows rosebush which is a thou
sand years old it does not seem so
remarkable that in the balmv eli
mate of Ceylon this tree should have
lived twice as long. 1t is gnarled
and unsymmetrical, because many
of its branches have been cut off
and sent to distant temples. This
DO tree is branch of the tree under
which Guatama Buddha sat when he
attained Nirvana, and Buddhists say
the passion through which he pass
ed communicated itself to the tree
and caused all the leaves to tremble.
Each Of the millions of pilgrims
who have toiled along the sacred
way which leads to this shrine has
hoped to bear away with him leaf
from the sacred tree. and happy is
he at whose feet one falls.
The leaves hang on a slender
stem and are easily stirred by the
slightest breeze, so each petitioner
is rewarded for his pilgrimage b,
feeling that the tree responds tc
the fervor of his soul, but few take
home leaf. Many bring Offering.
