COW. but he swore that Deacon HARD
man was the sort of man to lose his
temper and do awful things if he
ound a strange hog roofing up his
hollyhocks. Abner Crossman, who
had known both parties for thirteen
years, swore that he had known Dea-
con Goodhue to fall off q haystack,
get mired in a swamp and fight bum
blebees for half an hour without losing
the smile on bis face. and he could
not believe that he had begun this
fuss. Opposed to him was Truehe2rt
johnson. who said he had seen Deacon
Hardman kicked head over heels by a
COW. run over by a hog and knocked
down by a ram and that he preserved
a humble spirit throughout and even
asked the COW to forgive him if he
had hurt her feelings.
Mrs. Hardman's testimony was that
she was washing the dishes after
breakfast when she heard her husband
give q grunt and rush from the house.
She followed him to the door and
heard and saw all that subsequently
passed, though in such a nervous state
that she could not be sure of any
thing. She felt almost sure that
Deacon Goodhue said "by gum" and
"devil' and "old crank" but she
wouldn't be positive of it. She was
almost as sur that her husband
started to sing a hymn and made some
Scriptural quotation, but she might
have been mistaken. She was not sure
who grabbed the other first. but she
could swear on the living Bible that
they had trodden all the cucumbers
into the earth and broken down most
of her tiger lilies.
1t took two days to try the case. and
meanwhile all business was suspend
ed. including the sawmill. There was
no jury, and when almost everybody
in town had sworn on one side or the
other Justice Somerfeld put on his
most dignifed look and said:
"This case seems to go back to the
hoe and to Deacon Goodhue's garden.
Was there any need of the deacon
working in his garden that day?
What had become of his own hoe?
Was the borrowed hoe rusty in the
shank or was it not?
"Then there We're the hogs. Any
man who had ever set out to drive
one hog along the road, to say moth
ing about five. knew that the animal
wouldn't go straight for a rod at a
time. He wouldn't be a hog to pass
an open gate without making q rush
for the opening. AS to whether the
lie was actually given and who gave
it first is a matter of doubt. The
same is true as to who grabbed first.
but there a be no possible doubt
that many cucumbers and tiger lilies
were destroyed and that Deacon Hard
man emerged from the conflict with a
skinned nose. Taken full and by and
back and forth, it was about an even
thing. The costs will be divided be-
tween them. business resumed at 7
o'clock tomorrow morning. and if
either has any root beer in the cellar
he will be expected to treat the other
and both make up and let hoes and
hogs go to grass forever more!"

"'Angel, l give you my word Of

Freckles hesitated.
