KNEW THE ROPES.
A Lawyer Who Was Not Hunting Lit
iEatiOn Over Land.

It's the canny old bird that cannot be
caught with the bird lime Of litigation.
You've probably heard Of Lawyer Hackett
Of Somerset, relates the Lewiston (Me)
Journal. A little while ago he purchased
some land over which there had been law
suit for years, until parties had spent half
dozen times what the land was worth
Hackett knew all about it. Some OF the
people wondered why he wanted 10 get hold
of property with such an incubus OF uncer-
taiuty on it. Others thought that perhaps
he wanted some legal knitting work and
would pitch in red-hOt 10 fight that line
fence question on his own hook
That's what the owner Of the adjoining
land thought. So he Haoed himself for
trouble when he saw Hackett coming across
the fields one day.
Said Hackett What's your claim here
anyway, as 10 this fence -
Il insisted" replied the neighbor, that
your fence is over on my land two feet at
one end and one foot al beast at the other
end"
We'll" replied HAekett, you 20 ahead
just as quick as you can and set your fence
over. At the end where you say that ! en-
croach on you two feet. set the fence onto
my land four feet. Al the other end push
il onto my land two feet"
But persisted the neighbor. that s
twice what ! claim"
u don't care about that" said Hacke1t
There's been fight enough over this land
! want you TO take enough 40 you are per
tectly satisfied you have got your rigbts and
then We can get along all pleasantly. Go
ahead and help yourself"
The man paused, abashed He had been
ready TO commence the old struggle tooth
and nail But this move of the new neigh-
Dor stunned him. Yet he wasn't 10 be out
done in generosity. He looked al Hackett.
Squire" said ne that fence ANT 20
Ing 10 be moved an indh. don't want the
blamed old land. There Warnt nothiu' 10
the fight but the principle of the thing"
Now, isn't human nature an Interesting
study?
