Big Tree Burning For Eight Months CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.. • Oct. 30.—On he farm of James Crow, near Era, •here is the' remnant of a monster elm :ree that has been on fire and burning t.eadily' since last March. The tree caught fire early in March when the debris on some new ground was being burned. Sparks from the burning brush flew up into the top of the elm and ignited some moss. This in turn set fire to the wood of the tree. The interior of the tree was in that con dition known as “doty,” and the fire, once started, has burned slowjy ever since, eating its way down toward the » ground. In July the tree burned through and broke off at a height of about ten feet from the ground. Since then the fire das eaten away more on the exterior of ':he tree andn is more apparent.

Tiger Roams Streets of Town, No One’s Afraid William Holcomb, of Stanton, Mich., has a pet in the person of a Sputh American tiger, measuring fifty-four inches from tip to tip and nearly twen ty-four inches in height, he captured while on a government job four years ago. The tiger is tame and pjayruv and roams at large, not only in the Holcomb household but also in the vil lage streets. Children play with it and grown-ups stop to pet it and stroke its spotted fur. The tiger does various stunts, and Holcomb is always ready to show it off. It is regarded as a pet by every one except the dogs. When a dog comes in sight the cat arches its back and spits and snarls, and Mr. Dog takes the other side of the street. Recently a bull terrior with a reputa,- tion as a fighter was trotting past the Holcomb home when he spied the tiger and growled a challenge. *The tiger A answered with a snarl. Immediately there was a mixup, but it lasted only a moment. The terrier, bleeding from myriad scratches from the tiger’ claws, stuck its tail between its legs and streaked it around the earest corner. Holcomb has arranged with the. pro prietor of a cattery to cross the tiger with an Angora cat. He hopes thus to produce an animal that will be an ideal pet.

She ap peared a few minutes later and or dered him to drive to the Hotel Ansonia, Seventy-third street and Broadway. T live there,’ she said. At the Ansonia the young woman alighted and went In side.

Alsop, and half hour later a man, verging on eighty, with white beard and hair and leaning heavily on a cane, entered the station and asked to see Mrs. Alsop. “She had been taken to the rear by the matron, who in searching her found not money but jewelry etsimated to be worth $9,000. She still was with the ma tron when she heard the old man’s voice. She caipe out, and throwing her arms about him. cried: “ ‘Oh dad! Oh dad! I have committed no crime. Please don’t let them take mo away.’ “ ‘No, litle girl,’ he replied, ‘it will be all right.’ “Mr. Alsop then asked to be allowed to’ go back for" his wife. He was told she would not be admitted to bail, but sent to night court. As she was being led away again she said to the matron: ‘If they put me in a cell I’ll kill myself.’ “Mr. Alsop, who is a multi-millionaire steel manufacturer of Pittsburg, was almost four times the age of Effle Pope Hill when he married her, February 15, 1912, in Trinity church. They met in 1910 in Toxaway, N. C., a resort owned by Mr. Alsop.” In the night court it was decided to let Mrs. Alsop go free when her hus band agreed to pay the taxi fare. “I’ll just get you to drive me to the Waldorf, where I live,” she laughed. “ ‘It’s all right.’ “Courtney said he first must have the money. The two went to the street and the young woman became highly ex cited and talked at such a high pitch that Patrolmen Alles and Hartwell ran up. A crowd gathered and she became almost hysterical. “The patrolmen ad,vised that she pay the $1.80 and she cried: “ ‘But I haven't any money. How am I going to pay?’ She then became so ©Mcited that she was arrested and taken in Courtney’s cab to the West Sixty- eighth station, arraigned before Lieuten ant Sackett and asked her name. “ ‘Mrs. Effle B.
