MMMPKST, Janunry 0 - At llemeto,
a small town near the Hungarian capi

religious tcrWic round nn oak that
lias become famous ns "the holy tree."
It stands by the side of tho main road,
so strangely decorated that all who
pass that way are bound to take noto

traordinary history.
Several centuries ago, according to
tho Hungarian Icgtnd, the Virgin
Mary appeared under this tree at mid
night after n local fair to celebrate
