KNEW THE ROPES.
A Lawyer Who Was Not Hunting Liti-
cation Over Land.
It's the canny old bird that cannot
| ton.
You've probably heard of Lawyer
Hackett, of Somerset A little while
ago he purchased some land over which
there had been lawsuit for years, until
the parties had spent half a dozen times
what the land was worth. Hackett
knew all about it. Some of the people
wondered why he wanted to get hold of
property with such an incubus of un-
certainty on it. Others thought that
perhaps he wanted some legal knitting
work. and would pitch in red-hot to
fight that line-fence question on his own
hook.
| That's what the owner of the adioin-
ing land thought. So he braced himself
for trouble when he saw Hackett COM
ing across the fields one day.
Said Hackett: What's your claim
here. anyway, as to this fence?"
II insist" replied the neighbor, that
your fence is over on my land two feet
at one end, and one foot at least at the
other end
! WELL" replied Hackett, 'you go
ahead just as quick as you can and set
your fence over. At the end where you
say that l encroach on you two feet, set
the fence onto my land four feet At
the other end put 1t onto my land two
| feet"
| But" persisted the neighbor, that's
twice what 1 claim
| Il don't care about that" said Hack
EFT. There's been fight enough over
this land. want you to take enough so
you are perfectly satisfied you have your
rights. and then we can get along all
pleasantly. Go ahead and help your
self"
| The man paused, abashed. He had
been ready to commence the old strug-
gle tooth and nail. But this move of
the new neighbor stunned him. Yet he
wasn't to be outdone in generosity He
looked at Hackett.
Squire" said he, that fence amt
| going to be moved an inch. l don't
| want the blamed old land There wasn't
nothin' to the fight but the principle of
the thing"

| Sympathy.
I know what the Gagged bird feels, alas!
| When the sun is bright on the upland
! slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the
| springing grass,
| And the river flows like a stream Of
| glass;
| When the first bird sings and the first
bud opes,
And the faint perfume from it's chalice
steals
| l know what the Gagged bird feels!
l know why the Gagged bird beats his
| wing
| Till its blood is red on the cSuel bars:
For he must fly back to his perch and
| cling
When he fain would be on the Dough
a-swing;
| And pain still throbs in the old, old
| scars,
They live like lords and never labor,
And the pulse again with a keener
! sting
l know why he beats his wing!
I know why the Gagged bird SINGS ah
| When his wing is bruised and his boz
| som sore
When he beats his bars and would be
! free;
1t is not carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer he sends from his hearts
deep core.
But plea that upward to heaven he
filings
l know why the Gagged bird sings!

An Indiana Singer Who Resides I'm
Chicago Has n Costly Prom
Use 20 Fulfill.

One Of the best known singers Of Chi
cago came from a city Of 25. 900 popula-
ton in Indiana, says the Chicago Jour
nal.
He had lived in the Hoosier town nm
tai after be was Of age, and was a great
social as well as church favorite. His
tenor voice was soft and tender. and no
funeral Of any prominent citizen was
held without his presence. Often, when
be made calls, the older women Of the
city would make him promise that be
would sing at their funerals. He al
ways promised.
The tenor came to Chicago five years
ago and by hard study made his way 10
the front.
But now his promises are beginning
to count.
ABOUT once every two months he gets
a telegram announcing the death Of
some old friend in the Indiana city
y at whose funeral be promised 10
sing.
30 the tenor packs his valise and goes
80 far he has always paid his own ex-
penses, but be hopes some day hat
some wealthy resident of the Hoosier
place will remember him in a last win
and testament.

A COUNTS VISION.
Iu~stratfon Of Probable Tele-
pathic Perception.

/ can youch for the truth of the fol-
lowing interesting case of ~clairvoy-
ance, says a London Mail writer: On
August ~ a young man named 1.-TWO
Cibrario, belonging to one of the most
ancient families of Turin, while at
tempting to climb the peak of Roc
ciamelone, in the Maritime Alps, lost
his way. and on the following morning
a search party found his body, terribly
crushed and bruised, at the bottom of
a deep crevasse.
Count Cibrario, the unfortunate
young mans father, who was at Turin
and knew nothing of his sons expedi-
ton to the Rocciamelone, on the night
of the accident aroused the rest of the
family. announcing with tears that
1.-TWO was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly, he said, blood flowing from his
battered head, and had heard these
words spoken in a voice of terrible
anguish:
Father, | slipped down a p~recipice
and broke my head, and | am dead.
quite dead"
The other members of the family
tried in vain to persuade the poor count
that the CHASTITY vision was nothing but
a nightmare, and the bereaved father
continued in a state of anxiety border
ing upon distraction till the morning.
when the official confirmation of the
terrible accident reached him.
This case Of telegraphy, or whatever
name may be given to similar phenom-
ena, is considered all the more remarlsa-
able, as Count Cibrario is a very quiet,
matter-of-fact person, and has never
suffered from disorders Of the nervous
system or dabbled in sp|iritualism.
