In a day or W my client called to
know if l had heard anything, and for
reply l handed him the letter and the
check. After reading the letter he be-
came very angry, said he was not in
the least 10 blame for the death OF the
horse, and asked what it would cost
to sue.
l told him l was willing to fight, but
he would have to furnish the sinews
of war, S25 in advance and more as
needed. After thinking and talking it
over, he finally decided that he would
probably be money ahead to accept
the offer. With great reluctance he
signed the receipt. and / went down to
the bank, Endorsed the check, drew
$3.50. took it up to the Office, deducted
my 10 per cent commission as agreed,
and handed over the proceeds, $117.
My client sat around awhile, mutter,
ing that he would feel better had he
been knocked down and robbed of SIS,
out finally took his leave.
Well, the letter was manufactured,
and the check was a forgery. When II
was thrown out at Lawyer Browns
bank and came on me, / had to pay 1t
of course. The engraved letter heads
had been stolen from Lawyer Browns
office, and the necessary blank check
had been easily procured at his bank.

farm our lands intelligently, learn
to hold in our soils the maximum
amount of water and thereby get the
greatest number Of bushels per acre
That all water that can be used for the
purpose OF irrigation will in time be
used, that we will learn to irrigate less

SOME INTERESTING STORIES
Lumber Deal That Prove. alo.er.

Lumber Deal That Proves a loses.
1t was a fine lumber proposition in
a state where everybody seemed to be
getting rich in coal. lumber, oil and
gas. While the price per acre for the
timber may have been a little high, In
good hands the operation would have
made a fair profit. The company was
composed OF bona fide stockholders,
but not one knew the a, b, c OF tho
lumber business. We elected q school
teacher president, as he was . uni-
versity graduate and consequently
must know . whole lot, but he con-
fessed there were a few things he
did no know, 30 he got a relative Of
his to manage a practical part OF man
ufacturmg the lumber, AMI a univer-
sity classmate to run the books. buy.
and sell, etc.
II was an exciting day, that, when
the stockholders went out into tho
woods and heard the mammoth oak
trees crash down and the big band
mill %a-buzzing. We were in business
for certain.
The classmate admitted he knew 1t
all, and 80 when asked the price of
poplar. blurted out a figure which the
willy customer nabbed up at once, or
dering 100, 900 feet az soon as it could
be delivered. Before the contract was
half carried out the market price had
doubled.

Illinois, and have s!destepped all kinds
of cor men. But this little game was
different. He called on me. saying he
lived in the country, Inc the super
visor had advised him to come In and
see me concerning a claim he had
against a well to do former who lived
some two miles from another town,
lear US. The claim was for s2O5 and
vas for wages.
He said he worked as a farm hand
for three years, and, knowing his en-
ployer was wealthy, did not draw all
of his wages, as he was told he would
get 6 per cen interest on the balance
left In his employers hands, and when
he left he would have some money
saved up, which he would get in a
bunch.
He said the farmer did not deny he
owed him $2O5 for wages, but claimed
he had driven to death a horse worth
SIS, and that he would only pay him
$3.50. He said he was not to blame for
the death OF the horse and would not
pay for it, and instructed me to write
to the farmer and tell him the full
amount must be paid at once or suit
would be brought to collect 1t.
I wrote to that effect, and in the
course Of a day or two received the fol-
lowing letter from an attorney whom
l had met ON various occasions, and
whom l knew to be a perfectly re
sponsible lawyer and president of q
bank Of the other Town near which the
farmer lived:
Dear Sir: Mr.. - has consulted
me concerning the suit which is threat
ening by your client for $205 for wages.
1 presume your client has told you
that my client does not deny there is
$205 due him for wages, but he does
claim al Offset of $75, being the value
of a horse which dropped dead in the
stable after having been .overdriven by
your client.
My client is willing to pay $3.50, but
he will icy pay any more II he has to
fight the case to the supreme court.
He has left $3.50 with me to tender you.
and knowing you as / do / herewith in
close my check for that amount, with
a blank receipt in full to be signed in
case of acceptance. II your client does
not see fit to make this settlement
simply return the check and start your
suit for the full amount of $205, and
we will have the pleasure of trying
another case together.
With kindest personal regards, / re-
main, yours, l.. A. BROWN
l knew l deserved the confidence re-
posed in me, &c it did not strike me
at all strange that a check should be
sent in this way. Such things are
done every day among attorneys.

day afternoons, and the office force

when the door opened and a neat

was nothing to indicate that | was up

He inquired If I could tell him
whether or not Mr.. B. who is a promi-

the hall, would be back again during
the afternoon. Knowing something of

hardly expected him to return. He
