An old German from northwestern

Schwartz from the land SO that he could
cut it upinto lots auI sell homes Tor $500
to 500 each out OF il.
1T seems that the land was in the
shape of ii tiatiron. He had il rude map
Of II. When he Went up there ON the
lake, he was IA fisherman, and his wife did
sewing. sc that they laid a little money
aside. One day Il kind friend told
Schwartz that this 80 or 40 acres was for
presumption and he could get it at gov
eminent price. so he took the money and
bought the land. but by means of igno-
rance on his part, or rascality of some one
else, it was not duly recorded.
Now. the shark had started out for it,
and said that he had money enough to
wear out the old man, also that the old
man could show no title.
Schwartz told the lawyer that he
could show n~ndisturbed possession of the
land for % years anyhow, and also told
the whole history of their simple lives up
there on the sandy shores Of the lake.
THE lawyer got the whole case. set mp
uninterrupted possession and had the
b~onnd1ries supported with u legal sur
vey. The surveyor came back with the
same outlines substantially. with locality
of house. barn. meadow. and iii one
corner facins the lake the word grave.
THE case anne on for trial. and the
plaintiff put in his evidence. 1t was
pretty strong, He had secured the place.
and there was no record To show to the
contrary. He WAS a quiet. well dressed
man. with not too loud manner and not
too much jewelry-a humble man who
simply wanted his rights
Mr.. Schwartz was ruddy IN the face.
He was clean. His face had just been
shaved. He was excited. but he was not
studying TO make IL hit. He acted as he
would have Done ut home if he had been
told that his house was on fire. He would
have tried - put it ont.
When tlle plaintiff bad piled mp al!
his great voluineof evidence and tried to
knock down that OF Schwartz. he rested.
and the lawyer introduced such docu-
meniary evidence as he had and called
Mr.. Schwartz. He went ON the stand
with Il sigh. fer lie knew what was coin

"He told bis simple story in his own
way.
