POPE PIUS X SENDS A TREE

MADISON, Ind., March 23. - The pope of Rome has sent to John Paul Memorial park this city, a beautiful tree from the vatican garden. The king of England has also sent to Richard Johnson three oaks and the roots of six wild primroses, to be planted in the same park, which was formerly the site of the old Third Street cemetery.
