U. s. Representative From Kansas.
Seventh District
Many years ago Kansas couple
bought farm, on which they paid
down all their savings, giving u
mortgage for the rest Of the pur-
chase price.
The land agents commissions
amounted to considerable sum and
the fafmcr's wife objected strcnu-
ously to paying it. Crops were bad
and the couple lost the place by
foreclosure.
Years passed. Luck changed. The
pair prospcrcd. Finally they bought
another farm. This time the wife
specified i'm advance that no com
mission should go to anybody. Sh"
considered it bad luck.
The lawyer who drew up the decd
and mortgage accccded to her re-
quest, and the wife seemed satisfied,
but when she and her husband re.
turned home, she found under the
notarial seal these words:
my commission expires Sept. 1G,
188-.''
And it took the lawyer and her
husband months to convince her that
something hadn't been put over on
her.
