Murder of an Old Tree.

Detroit News: The tree in the
road" mile and half west of Hart
ford has been cut down to clear the
way for the new concrete road. This
maple tree, supposed to be more than
100 years old, was the most famous
and most cherished landmark of the
region. Standing in the middle of the
road on the crest of hill, it had
from the time of the oldest inhabi-
tant been used as point from which
all distances were measured. In CIV
ing directions, place was always
said to be certain distance this side
of the tree in the road" or certain
distance beyond the tree in the
road" With the advance of civiliza-
ton, however, the natives have reluc-
family concluded that the tree can be
dispensed with, since the only dis
lance people ask about now is the
distance between gasoline tanks.
