MOST VALUABLE TREE IN
WORLD.

Down in huddled Cheapside, in the
vortex of London's human whirlpool.
there stands the most valuable tree in
the world. That is to say, it occupies
a more valuable space than any tree
in the world, for the land in which 1t
has spread it's roots for 800 years is
worth $1,000 a square foot.
In the spacious times of good Queen
Bess this yew was young sapling in
the garden of noble mansion. King
doms rose and fell, but the tree grew
and throve, while time in its progress
gradually changed the character OF the
neighborhood in which it stood. The
aristocratic mansions gave way to
warehouses, and the gardens disap-
peared to give place to closely packed
rows of mean little houses wherein
petty mercants drove more or less
fiourishing businesses. The garden in
which the yew stood belonged TO the
ancient house of Chudleigh, and was
the last one to disappear. 1t has long
gone now, and only the yew remains,
and thereby clings romantic tale.
Beneath the yew tree there lie bur-
led the bones of an Elizabethan Chud-
leigh, who, after the manner OF
Shakespeare and other cheerful-minded
persons OF that day, pronounced a
solemn curse on anyone who would
disturb his last resting place. His
grandson was an irreverent individual,
who became pressed for money. and
conceived the idea of clearing the old
garden and building upon it. He had
already made the necessary contracts,
and was about to put his impious puT-
pose into execution when he was sud-
denly killed in curious fashion
Walking one day in the old garden
with his architect, he was struck by
a slate blown from the roof of the
ancient mansion and quilted life with
startling celebrity His heir, being of
a righteous mind, looked upon it as a
Judgment, and Immediately cancelled
all contracts, and the garden escaped.
The curse held good for couple OF
generations after that, until there
arose an original minded Chudlelgh 10
the reign Of George III of sacred mem
DRY. This Chudleigh had a whole
some regard for the curse, but also
was sadly in need OF money, SO he set
his wits to work ard devised most
ingenious scheme. He had railing
built around the corner in which stood
the yew, and devoted the rema nder
OF the garden to the builder. The
ghost must have grown tired or easily
satisfied, for the Georgian Chudleign
died in his bed. but before he died
he made a will which insured, so far
as the wit Of lawyer could, that none
of his heirs, executors, administrators
or assigns should, would or could
touch that little railing which sur
rounded the tree. Happily for his
wishes the estate was soon in chan
