1t has always been wonder to ne
that there Was not a professional class
between the lawyer and the clergyman
class to be called: ''Peacemakers all
Kinds Of Quarreis Made Up at the Short
test Notice and at Reasonable Rates. "
If you 60 to a clergyman with quarrel
he talks and advises, but leaves you as
mad as YOU were before. II YOU 90 to a
| lawyer he hears You out and replies:
'Sue him, SIR you've got all the
points to beat him, and it won't cost YOU
over SO to make him wish he'd nct er

Take in my neighborhood, for instance.
The man who lives in the cream colored
brick house got a new piano the other
week. The widow who lives in the cot
tage with stone COW in the yard wasn't
a bit envious over the act. She didn't
care if he had new piano in every
room in the house. and a three ply. war
ranted fast color organ down in tue base
ment. but she couldn't resist Sa}iug to
one Of her friends:
"Nell, it is curious to me how some
folks will staIye their stomachs ana
pinch their souls for the sake Of buying
al Ola horse fiddle 10 torture their neigh
bors with :"
She didn't mean anything wrong,
assure You: but the family i'll the cream
coiored brick heard Of her remark, and
they replied to it:
And it is curious to us how a widow
can take her husbands lie insarance
ana sQuandcr it IN velvet carpets, when
She never had a rag on her parlor floor
during his lifetime
They didn't mean any ;hing, Of course: :
but after that there seemed 10 be cold
ness between the two families. Chick
ems We're killed. cats poisoned. dogs
elubbed and windows broken, and nnlv
yesterday both were down to see the
lawyers about SANDER suits and damages.
How easy it would have been for a
peacemaker to have explained that the
piano was a present from a rich uncle to
his cousin, and to have excused the
Widows remarks 10y saving that insanity
was hereditary i'll her family, and that
one OF her spells was Just coming on .
She would have been invited to 90 over
and pound on the Instrument, and she
W0Nid have pressed the family to ruu
