PUT INTO THE RIGHT CANEIi
His Peculiar Talents Were Not to Bo
Wasted on a Farm.
There Is now In Detroit a 'very "pros
perous lnwvcr who was raised0 on a
Wayne county farm, his early educa
tional advantages being those of a' dis
trict school, relates the Detroit Freo
Press. When asked hoWhe happened
to leave tho farm to study law under
such a handicap as he carried In tho
outset he gave this lucid explanation:
"Hy the time I became of ago--I had
some property of my own, a' colt, a
cow, a cutter and a few other such
things as a thrifty farmer 'boy' gets!
together. Among them was a. light
market wagon that my father coveted.
I was willing to sell, but we 'couldn't
agree ns to the price. We wrangled
over that a good many times, and final
ly I told him that I would put It up at
a public vendue soon to be held rn tho
neighborhood and that he might buy
It as cheaply as he could.
"The sale came off and the man who
bid against my father Was one with
whom he had been on bad terms for
ten years. This put the old gentleman
on his mettle and when the wagon ivas
knocked down to him ho paid $20 mora
than I asked him and $25 more than
the thing was worth. I chaffed him a
good deal about the affair and He took
It good-naturedly until ho learned'that
I had arranged to have the price. of tho
wagon run up on him In the way nnd
by the man that it was.
"Then I could see how sorry the old
gentleman was that I wns too old to
be thrashed. He talked off a good deal
of his had humor by calling-me a fraud
and an unprincipled rascal, winding up
with: "You're entirely too much of a
sharper to bo a farmer, my son, You
study law nnd I'll help you as much as
I can afford.' I took his advice, but ho
always hires some, other attorney, when
he wants one."
