his Consolation.

A lawyer who has won some dist'nc-
ton through his success In eompromis-
ing suits for damages by accident says
his most interesting client was Il Swed-
ish farmer from Delaware county
whose wife had been killed IN Phlla-
dclphia by train crossing the streets
at grade.
The widower was simply inconsola-
ble and, having been told that he
could get $4,000 If he insisted on
pushing the case. refused for months
to talk compromise. The lawyer, OF
course, did all possible to keep the
hearing back In the hope of dlscour-
aging the Swede. and at last he was
rewarded by an offer to settle at rea-
souahle figure.
The Swede called, the lawyer said
$500. and the bereaved one quickly ac-
ccpted. As he folded the check and
pockctrd II ne observed:
