j You've probably heard of Lawyer
j Hackett of Somerset. A little while
j Bgo he purchased some land ovr
which there had been a lawsuit f--r
i jears, until the parties had spent hi if
I t dozen l rnes what the land was worth.
1 aekett knew all about it. Some of
t'ae people wondered why he wanted tc
£ct hold of property with such an incu
tus of uncertainty on it. Others
t. ought that perhaps he wanted some
l ?al knitting work and would pit -h in
r-dhot to fight that line fence question
on his cvn hook.
t hat's what the owner of the adjoin
i' S land thought, f.ays the iSaltlmo.e
beiaid. So he braced himself fur
trouble when he saw Hackett coming
a>-rose the fields one day.
Said Hackett: "Where's your claim
here, anyway, as to this fence?"
"X insist," replied the neighbor, "that
your feme is over my land two feet
at one end and one foot at least at the
Other end."
"Well," replied Hackett, "you go
ahead jrrt as quick as you can and set
your fence over. At the end where yoa
s: v that I encroach en you iwo feet,
6et the fence onto my land four feet.
At the oJier end push it o:;lo my land
two feet.'
But," persisted the neighbor, "that's
twice want 112 claim."
"1 don'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 plcaaantly. Go ahead and
b-Ip you;, elf."
The mar. paused, abashed. He had
been ready to commence the old strug
gle tooth and nail. But this move of
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
wcrn't nothing to the fight but the
principle of the thing."

People generally read advertisements more than they did a few years ago.
j The rea:;on is to bo found in the advertisi;ment3 thenselves.
j Advertisers are moro careful than they used to be. They make the advertise
-1 inents moro readable. Some of them even become, iu a
1 way, a department of the paper, and look for them
. every d.iy with as much zest and pleasure as tliey turn to
i any other feature.
