It's the canny old bird that cannot be caught with the bird lime of litiga tion. You've probably heard of Lawyer Hackett of Somerset. A little while ago he purchased some land over which there had been a lawsuit for years, until the parties had spent halt a dozen times what the land was worth. Hackett knew all about It. Some ot the people wondered why he wanted to get hold of property with such an Incu bus of uncertainty on It. Others thought that perhaps he wanted some legal knitting work and would pitch In redhot to fight that line fence question on his own hook. That's what the owner of the adjoin ing land thought, says the Baltimore Herald. So he braced himself for trouble when he saw Hackett coming acro.se the fields one day. Said Hackett: "Where's your claim here, anyway, as to this fence?" "1 insist," replied the neighbor, "that your fence is over my land two feet at one end and one foot at least at the other end." "Well," replied Hackett, "you go ahead just as quick as you can and set your fence over. At the end where you say that I encroach on you two feet, set the fence onto my land four feet. At the other end push it onto my land two feet. ' "But," persisted the neighbor, "that'a I claftn." "I aon't care about that," said Hack ett. "There's been fight enough over this land. I want you to take enough so you are perfectly satisfied you have got your rights, and then we can get along all pleasantly. Oo ahead and help yourself." The man paused, abashed. He had been ready to commence the old strug gle tooth and nail. But this move ot the new neighbor stunned him. Yet he wasn't to be outdone in generosity. He looked at Hackett. "Squire," said he, "that fence ain't going to be moved an inch. I don't want the blamed old land. There warn't nothing to the fight but the principle of the thing." Meteorological Cussedness. At Westtown, Chester County, Pa., the Friends' big school celebrated its one hundredth anniversary recently. They have at the school a kind of diary, or log, which has been kept up continuously for 100 years, and in which the state of the weather every day during all that time has been noted down. The log was consulted for an auspicious date in the matter of weath er for the anniversary, and it showed that every June 10 has been clear since the beginning of the school's career. Then some said: "Since it hasn't rained for 100 years on June 10 we had better avoid that date, for it will be sure to rain then this year." But oth ers said that reason and philosophy in dicated June 10 to be a day devoted, from some unknown atmospheric caus es. to sunshine and blue skies. The lat ter set of people carried the day, and the school celebrated its anniversary on June 10. But it rained so hard that the guests had to sit around in tents. She Would llave Stopped It. Some time ago the wife of an old inhabitant of a Durham, England, vil lage died, leaving a grown-up family behind her. The father remained a widower about eighteen months; then he entered the matrimonial state again. The youngest daughter, aged about twenty, on the day of the wedding, went to the village butcher's. After the usual courtesies, the butcher asked her: "Is it true yor tether got married agyen?" "Aye, It's ow«r true!" said the girl. "Didn't ye want him te get married agyen?" "No; we wor aall agyen it, but aad fyul wad hev his aan way. But Aa back if ma muthor had been living sh'd ' had put a stop tiv't!" She Might Kelent. HE. You treat me now with cold disdain, But some day you'll regret; I shall not go away and pine, But I'm going out to get A job somewhere and I shall work And be a magnate yet. SHE. Co, leave my presence, since you say You don't intend to fret; You'll never, never see the day That you'll make me regret— But still, I wish you'd let me know What kind of job you get. —Chicago News. 1 Practicing Medicine.
