This body has discovered that the only
way to save the tree now is to surround
it by a small lake. and thus restore
the ground on which the tree stands to
its original condition. 1t must be
borne in mind that the specie of cedar
to which the tree belongs, is essentially
wet-ground product. as it's name in
Mexican, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. -of-the-
water implies. In the days of Cortez
the tree must have stood near the shore
of Lake Texcoco. Since then the wat
ers of this lake have steadily receded
through various causes. and for many
years now the tree has stood on ground
as dry as cinders. BY surrounding the
tree with water it is hoped that new
shoots will rise and that thus the tree
will perpetuate itself without the inter-
ference Of man. The trunk of the Ell
Arbol de la Noche Tristi at present is
little more than a shell, the core hay-
ing decayed many years ago.

San Antonio. Texas. Dec. 22.-El Ar
Dol de la Noche Triste, the old ahue-
huete tree, under which fernando Cor
teZ, the cOnquerOr of Mexico, is said to
have sat and wept on the night of his
defeat by the Aztecs, will be saved
from death in a novel manner. For
some time sentimentalists in Mexico
have been at their wits end how to
save the tree which for some years has
shown evidence of rapid decay. Many
methods have been suggested, but all
of them SO far have failed to meet the
approval of those interested. At one
time it was proposed to cut the old
tree down and plant one of the sprigs
in its place. This very feasible plan
was rejected on the ground that the
young tree would merely usurp the
proud position, its parent occupies in
the Mexican mind, and that for this
reason it could never be Ell Arbol de
la Noche Triste-the tree of the sor-
rowful night. Recently it was propos-
ed to graft a healthy shoot of the old
tree on its own root. This, however.
would place in jeopardy the little vi,
tally the old trunk has, and for this
reason met also with general opposi-
ton.
Experts Examined It.

Not Looking for Husbands.

Angered because the impression got
abroad that they had organized to get
husbands, members of the Forty Wild
ows association of Berwick Pa, asked
that statement be made TO the gen.
eral public that they organized solely
for social aims and not to get hus-
bands. The fact that they have or
ganized has spread so widely that
they are now receiving letters from
widows in all sections of the country
asking how II is possible to become
a member and what is the process by
which husbands are obtained for men,
bers. Men are also sending scores OF
letters complimenting the widows on
what they believe is intended as a
short cut to matrimony. 1t has been
decided to keep the meetings as secret
as possible in the future.
