( Sale of Reaf Estate for Taxes. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE NO 46 One day a farmer whose name was Bertrand, went to his county town with a load of corn to sell in the market. He was very fortunate, for he soon found a buyer who paid him a much higher price for his grain than he had expected to get. So, as his horses were resting and feed ing, he set out for a little stroll through the town. As he walked down the main street, he felt very happy and at peace with the world. He stopped to look at the pretty articles in the store windows, and at one place he bought some little presents to take home to his children. Just as he was thinking of turning back toard the mark et place, his eyes were attracted by a small sign in a doorway. There was nothing in the sign itself, for it was very plained and contained but three words: SOLON WISEMAN Lawyer. Bertrand stopped and gazed at it thoughtful ly for fully two minutes. “And this is the office of the great Solon Wise man,” he said to himself. “Well I’ve heard folks talk about the opinions he gives. They say that he’s the greatest lawyer in the country, and that whatever he says is sure to be right. I think I’ll go in and ask him for an opinion—it won’t do any harm.” He climbed the narrow stairs to the offices above, and found there quite a number of peo ple who were waiting to ask the advice of the lawyer. He had to wait for a long time, but this only made him appreciate still more the val ue of the lawyer’s services. By and by his turn came, and he was shown into the room. Mr. Wiseman asked him to sit down, and then set tling his eyeglasses on his nose so as to get a good look at him, begged him to state his busi ness. The farmer twisted his hat uneasily in his hand, and stammered: “I can’t say that I have any particular business, Mr. Lawyer. But I happened to be in town to-day and I thought I couldn’t do better than to come in and get an opinion from you.” “I am obliged to you for your confidence in me,” said the lawyer. “I suppose you have had some trouble and are thinking about a lawsuit.” “ lawsuit,” cried Bertrand. “I should rather think not. I never had any quarrel with any body in my life.” “Well, then, I suppoes that you wish to have some family property fairly and properly divid ed.” — - “I beg your pardon, sir. My family lives with me in peace, and we have no need of divid- ingany of the property.” “Perhaps then you want some agreement drawn up about the sale or purchase of some thing.” Not at all, sir. I am not rich enough to buy more than I have and I am not poor enough to be obliged to sell any.” “Then, tell me what I can do for you, my friend?” “I should like to get an opinion from you, as I think I have already told you.” An opinion! Please explain yourself.” heard people talk so much about the value of your opinions that I think I should like to get one for my own use. I have the money to pay for it, and I should be sorry to have to go home without it.” The lawyer looked at him and smiled. Then taking up his pen he asked the farmer what his name was. “Peter Bertrand,” said he, very much pleased that the lawyer at last understood what he wan ted. “Your age?” “Forty years, or somewhere about that.” “Your profession?” “My profession? Ah, yes, you mean what I do? I am a farmer.” The lawyer, still smilin’ wrote two lines on a piece of paper, folded it up, and gave it to the farmer. “Is that all?” asked Bertrand. Yes, that is an opinion.” “Well, well! It is short, but so much the bet ter. Of course you are too busy to write much Now, how much does that cost, Mr. Lawyer?” - “One dollar.” Bertrand paid the money, well contented, bowed to Mr. Wiseman, and went away delight- concluded on 2nd page.
