ticles about you that appeared in two
different papers Jast week? One of
them described you as penurious
man OF immense wealth who gave
grudgingly to charity because it was
necessary in your business, and the
other said your wealth was vastly ex-
aggerated and you really couldn't af-
ford the style you were putting on,
but that you had to present d bold
front to keep your creditors from clos
ing in on you"

Almond Grated On Live Oak,

| A story Of unusual grating in vege-
fable life Is vouched for by Attorney
John ]. Wells and II. C. Swain, at Red
ding, Cal They say that on the fam
Of julius Jensen, on Dibble Greek. an
almond has been grated upon live
oak and pear onto mulberry. Mr..
Jensen has been on the place only for
q few years and knows nothing Of the
past history Of the T.rm. In the yard
stands a magnificent almond Of the
hard shell variety, which produces
every year crop Of large almonds.
The tree forks 1.-THE ground. A foot
and half above the ground, where
one of the branches is twelve inches
in diameter and the other half as
large, each branch suddenly enlarges
and becomes four inches greater in di-
ameter. This spring, to the complete
surprise Of Mr.. Jansen, he discovered
an oak shoot putting forth just below
the enlargement on one of the
branches. Examination then showed
that up to the point where the enlarge
ment appears the tree is live oak. Who
did this strange grating, or when, is
unknown. But the fact is plain that
on each branch an almond has been
successfully grated on to a live oak
stump.
In the same yard, and distant only
fifty feet, stands pear tree. About
five feet above the ground the pear
wood commences; below that is null
berry. Clearly this is case Of pear
being grated upon mulberry. This
tree produces excellent Bartlett pears.
