the rumor of eight battleships. What
they heard, however, was official, they
said, and could net be repeated. They

came from, or to say what measures
were thought OF to enable the United
States government to keep pace with
Japan.

WEEK AT LAKESIDE PARK
Combined Picnic Of Christian Sun day
Schools Todsy-MsdisonviIIe

Loeb Mary will today wake to
the echoes Of many happy
voices Of host of children, both
young and grown up. For this
is to be Christian Sunday School
day and they are coming In full
force from Mortons Gap, and
Madisonville, and Hanson, and
Slaughtersville, in addition to
the big darlington Sunday
School, which will of course all
be there. Ideal weather is
promised and a breeze has been
engaged to fan this large and ex-
emplary party free of charge.
Ice water will flow and full bas-
kets be empted in the most liber-
al manner for the benefit of all
who belongs to those SUNDAY
Schools.
Aud tomorrow the echoes may
not sleep. For the Methodist
Sunday School, of Madisonvllle,
will people the park and wake
up something besides fried chick
en- and ice cream. All this
sounds good to The Bee, although
the editor is not a member of
any of the Sunday Schools that
are on this weeks picnic calen-
dar. But beautiful Lakeside
Park and Loeb Mary have been
of late neglected by those who
should seek to get near to

"The Peepul" have been so busy
leading strenuous life. There
are beauties and pleasures
around about Loeb Mary that
the average, sordid mortal has
never dreamed Of. Let us take

plans for making a great empire in
the new world must fail. His fleeing
army was panic stricken. II is related
that Coftez was unable TO calmly bear
the burden of his defeat and that
when he reached the overspreading
branches Of this great cypress tree,
which even In that day is said TO have
been a giant among giants of the trees
I'm the valley of Mexico, he sat down
and wept. From that day TO this the
tree has been known as the tree Of the
sorrowful night. The age of the tree
is problematical II probably was hun
dreds of years old when Cortez made
II a historic landmark. That hap
pened nearly 400 years ago.
The first evidence of decay of the
tree was apparent about 80 years ago
as a result of a fire which swept
through the forest where IL stood. Its
trunk was seriously burned and its
branches began to decay. The ancient
tree gradually lost life and II was
nearly dead when II was decided two
years ago TO make an EFFORT to re
suscitate IT, A great hole had rOtted
In its trunk as result OF the burns
which II had received az that spot.
This cavity was scraped clean and was
filled with cement. The dead wood on
the upper trunk and branches was re
moved and careful treatment given
every part Of the big tree.
In order TO still further protect the
historic tree an iron fence was built
around its trunk TO keep the vandals
away from II. The tree began 10 put
out new foliage and twigs last year,
and this spring It is showing evidence
of a complete reiuvenation. II seems
to have begun new growth In all Of
It's branches and there is much re-
jOicing on the part OF the people. who
revere its age and wonderful history.
