well to do in the world, and what was some
what surprising in limb of the law, averse
10 encouraging litigation. One day client
came TO him 10 a violent rage" Look a-here,
'sauire,n said he, :. thai 'ere blasted shoemaker
down 10 Pigeon Cove, has gone and sued me
for the money for pair of boots owed him."
(" Did the boots suit you ;" "Oh. yes I've
got 'em on: fusi rate boots" Fair price P"
"Oh! yesn "Then yon owe him the money

how much money do YOU want to begin with?"
"Oh! ten dollars will do" SIS that all2 Well,

and call il all square" /" Certain, Squire, il
you say So, and darned glad to get it;" was
the answer In few days his client came
along, and asked him how he got on with his
case (" Rapidly!" cried the lawyer: !. we've
non suited him! he'll never trouble you" "Je.
rusalem! that's great" cried the client: I'D
rather gin fifty dollars than have had him gol
