Tree Spirits XII a sooffer

Tree Spirits XIII Scoffer
In the Straits Settlements and Ma
lay peninsula both the Malays and
Chinese believe that many trees have
their tutelary spirits, says c. e. G..
Tisdale in the January Wide World
Magazine. Such trees are easily rec
ognizable, owing to their having Joss"
or incense sticks placed either close
to their roots or in a fork between
the branEhes-the offerings of the
Chinese-or decoration consisting of
bits of various colored cloth, the Ma
lay token of devotion.
One such tree is still to be seen in
Stanford roads, the main thorough
fare of Singapore, and in connection
with this particular tree curious ac-
cident happened only a few months
ago. A rich young Baba, or Straits
born Chinese, named Lee Khia Guam,
who had been educated in England
at Cambridge University was taking
stroll in the evening with friend,
and when passing this tree noticed
lot Of joss stisks burning at its roots.
With a laugh at the superstitions of
the uneducated coolies who had
placed the incense there, he kicked
the joss sticks over and trampled on
them. He then rejoined his COM
panion and they went for walk
round the esplanade. As they walked
along his friend demonstrated with
him for his action, pointing out that,
after all, though he did not believe in
It himself, there might be something
in it" and, for his part, he preferred
to leave such trings severely alone,
as he had heard of cases where accf-
dents had happened to persons who
interfered with such trees.
Lee Khia Guam ridicu1ed the idea
of such a thing and pointed out that
no European or educated person be-
lieved in haunted" trees, but only
the ignorant coolies. Three days
later, while Lee Khia Guam was on
his way to town In his motor car, just
as he passed under this tree huge
branch fell right across the car, Kill
ing him on the spot and smashing all.
the front part of the car When ex-
amined the branch showed no trace
Of the ravages OF white ants, and
there seemed to be no reason for its
having broken, as there was no wind
that morning. "a
