the only case of its kind In the
world. Your correspondent
saw the rare sight. The roots
of the tree project several feet
above the ground and are of
the palest green. while the
leaves, some of which the
writer dug up. are white and
taste not unlike celery.
The only explanation of the
strange occurrence was given
by an old Indian who is said
to have lived in this section
200 years. He is known as Big
Chief Kick-a-Hole-in-the-Sky,
and he declares that long ago
the chief of the happy hunting
ground vented his wrath upon
Big Chief Kick'a-Hole-in.the-
Sky's great-grandfather, who
had planted many trees. He
caused the seeds to be planted
upside down. thus accounting
for natures reversal. There was

Street Presbyterian Church.
Ernest K. Coulter will be the speak
er at the December meeting of the
Mems club of the South Street Pres
byterian church, to be held this
evening, December 14th, at eight
O'Clock. Mr.. Coulter is clerk of the
New York children's court, a practic-
ing lawyer, sociologist and founder Of
the Big Brothers Movement. His ad-
dress is not based on theoretical
knowledge, but is the result of per-
sonal obse rvation of over $4,000 cases
in the worlds greatest children's
court.
Following are some of the opinions
expressed by those who have heard
Mr.. Coulter. "Mr. Coulter's address

we had hoped for-informing and in

humor to leave a pleasant impression

fine shape" Ernest X, Coulter has
strong hold on men because
he is doing things. His interest in
boys is genuine. He personally follows

The Boston Journal Of January
20th, 1909, commenting on the lecture
given by Mr.. Coulter, in Boston, says !:

speaker laid before his hearers the
general results accomplished in the
great metropolis. Hundreds of vi for
tunate boys, who ordinarily would
never have amounted to anything, are
being taken care, of by business men
and in the majority of cases are prov
ing individual powers in the commun-
ity in which they live. Mr.. Coulter
told many interesting and pathetic
stories in connection with the work.
He declares that by single individual
taking an interest in one boy in many
cases a splendid citizen should be
made, when ordinarily, the same boy
if left alone, would be in the end no.
