Calling It Square

[Copyright, 1905, by R. B. McCIure.] The widow Green, living next wesi of the deacon's, had been a widow for three years, and it was common talk that she and the widower would make match.

In early spring the widow had bought a cow, and that cow had jumped every fence on the deacon's land within twe weeks, but he had always driven hei back home without a word of com plaint. On this occasion, however, the deacon was vexed. "I've stood it and stood it and stood it," he said to himself as he surveyed the damages, "but I can stand it no longer. The widder Green must be made to understand that her covi can't go about like a roarin' lion, knockin' down fences and trampliir down corn. I estimate that she baa damaged me $10 worth, and that widder has got to be sharply talked to."

He drove the cow to the home of her owner, giving her a vigorous whack on the way whenever he could get near enough, and when he had reached the house and been saluted by Mrs. Green he said: "Widder, I told you two months ago that your new cow was a Jumper." "Yes, you did." "And that you must put a poke on her." "Yes." "Well, you didn't do it, and she's damaged me $10. When I found her in my cornfield just now, I almost wanted to kill her." "I'm sorry, deacon," was the humble reply. "But beln' sorry won't do," said the deacon, who felt that he had the advantage and should press it "Jumpin' cows should be poked. I told you that long ago, but you don't seem to care two cents." "I was goin' to poke her." "But goin' to poke a cow and pokln' her are two different things. That was flie way with Mi randy.- She's dead, and I don't want to say anything agin her, but she was always goin' to do and never doin'. You're a widder woman, and I'm sorter sorry for you, but you must obey the law same as other folks. The law says that a jumpin' cow"— "Never mind what the law says, Deacon Allbright," Interrupted the widow. "You are makln* a great fuss over a few stalks of corn, and if you'll tell me what the damage is I'll pay it. I never thought you was such a man." "But you've got a Jumpin' cow." "Then let 'er jump. I stand ready to pay all damages." "But you are mighty sassy about it." "I've a right to be. I've got no man, thank heaven, to boss me around." "It would be better if you had. Then you'd know that any one who owned a jumpin' cow was obleeged"— "Deacon Allbright, how much do I owe you 7" exclaimed the woman. "If 'twas any one else I'd say $10, but bein' it's you"— "I won't pay 10 cents." "Then I'll sue you for damages!" "You can sue till the chickens become ducks. You could boss Mlrandy around and make her feel as humble as a cat, but you can't boss me. Go ahead with your old lawsuit."

The deacon said he would and turned away. Before he had gone forty rods he changed his mind, and there would have been no legal trouble but for the cow.

Not satisfied with what she had done, she took advantage of the occasion to die. It was from overfeeding on the juicy stalks and young ears, and a witness was found to come forward and swear to certain whacks the deacon had bestowed upon her anatomy as he drove her along the road. "He's so powerful quick to talk about lawsuits that I'll give him oner* said the widow when she heard that the jumping cow had passed away. And within four hours sh« was in thn village consulting a lawyer.

When Deacon Allbrlgbt received notice that be had beeo sued he, of course, started a cottntersuit Then some on* told the widow that be was talking about titer, and she started a slander wit

He heard that she was talking about him, and be Instituted another suit Then the deacon's sister chipped In and had her say, and the iftdow bogan a third suit. The deacon had ones saved her barn after it bad been otraeki by lightning, and now he instituted a claim for afUvagia.

The law works slowly in a country town. A lawsuit is a thing to be hung (m to as long as possible and made the most of. The first two suits were tried and appealed, and the two others were called and adjourned several times, and finally two years had passed away and no one was better off and no point had been settled.

One morning almost as soon as the deacon was out of bed he received notice that his spotted ox was lying dead In the widow Green's cornfield. The animal had broken down the fence and overfed. The deacon waa met at the gate by the widow, whasald: "I could say that you had a Jumpin' ox and that he should have been poked and that you had damaged me $10, but I shan't do anything of the sort I lost a cow, and you've lost an ox. I sued, and you sued. I was a fool, and yot? were ditto. Shan't we shake hands and call it square?" "i—I giiess we'd better," the deacon replied after taking a moment to think It over—"that is, provided you'll bav« me and we both wear the same poke after this." "Well, I don't mind. But, dear ma, \what dunces we were to 'go and lose whole years over it!"
