Whv the Honest Farmer Doubled tn
Prico of His Farm

WHY the Honest Farmer Doubled the
Price of His Farm
In these days, when cities are spring
ing from the soil in the South and West
and North. and even in the more thick
Unsettled East, it is interesting 10 recall
the story of the purchase of part of the
land upon which the thriving MaSsa-
chusetts city of Lowell was built many
years ago.
The account ran that when the pros
pect of forming a large manufacturing
town on the Merrimac was in contem-
plation. young engineer, who was also
fond of sporting, was sent to view the
water privilege carefully, and to in
quire as to prices of land in the vicinity.
He went with his hunting and fishing
tackle, and obtained board in a farmers
house.
After spending some time in looking
at the falls. the canal and the grounds,
with occasional fowIing and fishing, he
told the farmer one evening that he
liked the place, and thought he should
be pleased to Gene and live there. and
ended by skiing:
"What will you take for your farm?"
II don't want to SELL" answered the
farmer. II am satisfied here. but /
would take twice what it is worth. It's
worth fifteen hundred dollars. and l
won't sell for less than three thousand
dollars"
That's too much, said the engineer
II can't give that"
You need not" the farmer replied,
smiling.
The engineer went on with his sport
ing, and, having received instructions
in few days took up the talk.
"Well. have made up my mind that
! should like to live here. and | will
give YOU three thousand dollars for your
farm"
.Oh, well, as to that" answered the
farmer. you did not take my farm when
/ offered it, and will not sell now for
less than six thousand dollars"
You are joking!" exclaimed the en-
gineer.
Not at all" the farmer replied. land
/ shall not continue my offer more than
twenty-four hours"
The next day the engineer took the
farm for six thousand dollars.
After the deed was passed and the
money paid, the purchaser asked what
reason the farmer had to double the
price of his farm, and insist upon that
or nothing.
"Well. will tell you answered the
former owner. "a day or two after l
offered the farm for three thousand dol
lars. | saw two men on the other side of
the river sitting on rock and talking.
They got up. and one went up the river
and the other down, and after some time
they returned, and seemed in earnest

II didn't know what it meant, b.t
thought something was in the win!. and

me again to sell, | would double the
price, and did. he continued, holding
