crooked by nature to keep still, went over
to his neighbor, Mr.. F, a remarkably

thus:
"That piece of fence over there.is mine,

"Why," replied Mr.. F., "You must
be mistaken l think"
"No, no; it is mine and I shall keep it."
"Well," said F., suppose we leave
it to any lawyer you shall choose"
81 wont leave it to any lawyer said the
other.
s "Well," continued Mr.. F., 'sshall we
leave it to any four men in The village that
you shall selects"
"No, shall have the fence"
Not at all discomposed, Mr.. F.,
said:
"Well, neighbor, then 1 shall leave it to
yourself to say to who it does belong-tc
you or to me-"
Struck dumb by the appeal, the worthy
man turned away, saying:
