A LINE FENCE
Which is in the Way of Neighborly
Amity.
Rather More than the Usual Variety in
Burr's Court

They never speak across the fence, for
greatly to his credit, the court himself hath
said it. I'll sit upon you both, although
am quite loath, although I am quite
loath. And he did sit upon them in the
light airy manner of a fairy footed mule, and
don't let it be erased from the tablet Of your
memory The case was that of Vim. Stewart
against whom Annie Mcmahon and host of
witnesses and the eminent advocate Coun-
sellor Gribble appeared, for had the latter not
swore by the long beard of his ancestors that
justice, aye even justice should be
knocked out, though it had to be
carved with cheese knife. On
the other hand appeared the redoubtable
Murray, the motto of whom MI desperandun,
from his forelock shone like the FURNISHED
badge of Grand Army man about reunion
time, for hasn't it been said that it was a
chilly day when he got left9 The trouble was
over fence, only little fence, just high
enough to hit head as it popped up, and al
though it was little. it was oh my, and it
made lots OF fun for the neighbors. Annie,
the gentle Annie, testified that the accused had
called her bad names, and that he threatened
to tomahawk her and all her tribe. The case
took up deal of the courts valuable time,
and finally he sat down on them and they
were all made to give bonds and to promise
that they would not even speak over the
fence again.

the chief crown and ornament of old age,

his forehead. He was up yesterday on the
