not possess. The expected happened

A Treasure Tree.

One of the most famous Christmas
trees in history was erected at Wind
sor castle in the early forties. 1t was
not so very remarkable for it's height,
which was forty feet, but for the fact
that in the aggregate its crop of pres
ents amounted in value to $4,000, or
the value of the product Of 5000 acres
of forest land.
