GOING. 70 LAW WITH THE DEAD. How a Shrewd Chinaman Got Even With a Bad Neighbor. © A cemetery is the one sacred spot in Chinn. To d ate such a place is the worst of crimes: Some years since there lived in a village on the plain of 'the Yellow River a man called Tu. His little farm furnished him with a com- fortable living, but nothing more. Like all farms in that part of China, there was no fence to separate his fields from those of his neighbors. One of these neighbors was a rascal, who, knowing My. Tu to be of mild disposi- tion, resolved to impose upon him by ploughing a few furrows of Mr. Tu's land and thus incorporating it with his own. This act did not pass unpbserv- ed, but - Mr. Tu was cautious as well as mild. He knew that litigation came high, and was uncertain. "Better," he said to Himself, "to endure the wrong than fo suffer loss of both land and money?" fe AED The nexb year the neighbor repeated . the experiment, and ploughed up a few more furrows. Again Mr. Tu con- gow sultedwith , and determined, __ as previously, that law was too. ex. wi pene a luxury for him. # complaisance, continued to add to his 4 vown aires at the other's éxpense." - gth hie became go bold g. where were bu y 4 iN a . the law was that, if the magistrate should fake notice of the suit, would hagé to send up a report toh superiors at the capital of the pro- vince and request that proper punish- ment be inflicted upon himself, seeing /. that so heinous a erime had been com- mitted in the district for which he was cesponsible, , Accordingly, Mr. Tu brought . the 'matter before the magistrate in a way that did not involve that official. He " brought: decusation against his father, who wag dead, for having moved his grave off his son's land to that of the /encroaching neighbor instead of abid- . ing in the cémetery where he properly belonged, i : CHineseiové humor and greatly shrewdness.
