FOOLISH LAW SUITS.
Old LAWYERS Advice to Keep Out
Of Court If it is Possible to DO So.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Many foolish cases are brought into
the courts" observed an old lawyer.
My advice to my clients has always
been to keep out of the courts. / re-
member a case in which one neighbor
was involved in a distressing contro-
Versy with another. The neighbor
Who was sued for damages had built
house on a corner lot and when the
house was erected the other neighbor
discovered that it had encroached
upon about three inches of his land
They had some words and the man
VINO had built the house hired me to
defend him in the suit brought by the
other man. Well, after much trouble,
1 brought them together and tried to
procure a settlement out of court.
They argued with and abused each
other and would come to no agree
ment. The land was worth $50 a foot
three inches were therefore worth
about $3.50.
81 told my client he had better set
tie. No; he was right; he wouldn't.
so the case was dragged along in one
court and then another for over a
year. When finally my client lost, the
case had cost him about twenty times
the amount of money involved and
much mental worry, caused by hard
feelings. 1t was Tolstois story of the
two neighbors who had a falling out
over nothing all over again. They lived
thereafter in constant enmity, never
speaking to each other and heartily
detesting each other, while their chill
dren were reared to foster this feel
ing. One felt that he had been robbed
and the other felt that it had cost him
great deal of money to get what was
his. 1t was as near a feud as might
well exist in a civilized city, only in
stead of the dagger thrusts of a gem
uine, bona fide vendetta, venomous
tongues, which gave utterance con-
stantly to sneers, ISLANDERS and back
biting.
Thereafter each was jealous Of the
| others prosperity or rejoiced when ad-
versity sought his rivals family. The
innocent as we'll as the guilty and OBJ
stinate contestants suffered, and it
was altogether a detestable piece of
business. So l am ever in favor of set
Element out of court, just as I be-
lieve in arbitration to settle the trou-
bles between nations. One is as es-
scntlal to the happiness of the do
nestle circle as the other is to the
well-being of the government"

A report having gone over the State to
the effect that Bishop Hall substantially
agreed with Bishop I.ittlejohn, of the
Diocese of Long Island, regarding the
method of choosing rectors, believing
that the Bishops Of the various dioceses
should have sole power to fill vacant
pulpits, without reference to the wishes
of the vestry or parish, Rev. Geo. b.
Johnson of Burlington, the Bishops
Chaplain, rises to remark that there Is
no foundation whatever tor the state
ment. He further asserts that if any
bishop held such an opinion, it would h'
of not the slightest practical Importance
as it could not be acted upon until
canon granting this power had beet
adopted.by the diocesan convention.
