PUT INTO THE RIGHT CHANNEL
His Peculiar Talents Were Not to Be
Wasted on a Farm.

There is now in Detroit a very pros
porous LAWYER who was raised on
Wayne county farm his early educa-
tional advantages being those Of a dis
trict school,, relates the Detroit Free
Press When asked how he happened
to leave the farm to study law under
such a handicap as he carried in the
outset he gave this lucid explanation:
by the time l became of age had
some property of my own, a. colt, a
COW, a. cutter and q few other such
things as a thrifty farmer boy gets
together. Among them was a light
market wagon that my father coveted.
! was willing to sell, but we couldn't
agree as to the price. We wrangled
over that good many times, and final
ly 1 told him that would put 1t up at
a public vendue soon to be held IN the
neighbOrhood and that he might buy
it as cheaply as he could.
THE sale came off and the man who
bid against my father was one with
whom he had been on bad terms for
ten years. This put the old gentleman
on his mettle and when the wagon was
knocked down to him he paid $40 more
than i asked him and S25 more than
the thing was worth. 1 chaffed him
good deal about the affair and he took
it good-naturedly until he learned that
had arranged to have the price of the
wagon run up on him in the way and
by the man that it was.
Then could see how sorry the old
gentleman was that / was too old to
be thrashed. He talked off good deal
of his bad humor by calling me fraud
and an unprincipled rascal, winding up
with: You're entirely too much of
sharper to be a farmer, my son, You
study law and I'll help you as much as
/ can afford took his advice, but he
always hires some other attorney, when
he wants one"
