Ancient Tree Worship.

Today among some of the tribes OF
Africa there is to be found a form of
tree worship where certain members OF
the tribe are said TO acquire very in
innate communion with certain trees
in the forest and to receive messages
through them from another world
Nearly all nations have had at some
time a sacred shrub. plant or tree. and
appear to have been guilty Of a species
of idolatry in worshiping it. 1t is even
coniectured that the alteration Of idols
sprang from this practice, the idol be-
ing made from the wood of the sacred
tree.
It was the custom in the south of
France to sprinkle wine over the May
pole at the annual ceremony of its up
lifting. This. it is believed. was de-
rived from the ancient practice of
sprinkling wine over sacred trees. In

BOY, 4, SPURNS
CHEAP CIGARS

SEATTLE, April 26.-Freddie
Rigg,. the 4-year-old boy whose
craving for tobacco is proving a
mystery to medical men and special
lists, likes his cigars long, black
and expensive.
HE began with a pipe" said his
mother. Mrs. Ralph Rigg, today.
He simply bloomed on cigars.
When he was about months old
Freddie had pneumonia. We tried
first one food and then another.
Nothing agreed with him until one
day when he was about 10. months
old he grabbed a pipe that had been
smoked. Contentment replaced his
continual crying. He Immediately
started to eat.
"He cut mis- teeth on a pipe
instead of a teething ring. When
he was a year old he snatched a
cigar out of his fathers mouth and
chewed it as most babies would
candy"
There was a shout. a sound of
sturdy feet tramping down the hall,
and in came Freddie.
I'm going to the store for a
smoke. Mama" he explained.
"And he'll throw it away unless
it's good one," added his mother.
HE bites off the end of the cigar
and If it's a cheap one he throws
it away.
when we go to the store he
never asks for candy-he wants
cigars"
