The Meanest Man.

There are men who plunder by night and pollute the sacred chambers of innocent women; there are men who, like towards they are, will fire from ambush at a hated foe; there are men who will abuse themselves with self-crime and those who will rob helpless women of their virtue; there are men who live only to plunder, loot, steal, destroy; there are per jurers, adulterers, blasphemers, robbers, murderers, liars. But in all the category of evil, including the low-minded, the worthless, the destitute, the contemptible, the vulgar-the meaneSt man who ever cursed the world Is one who pretends to be a friend and who, while slobbering feigned friend ship in your face, is sticking the stilleto of islander and treacherv in your back.

Stinginess with a Yegeance.

The Phoenix Gage5ts tells one on a man from the Sunfo yer state, who a short time ago was crossing the plains between Arizona and his native heath. To avoid pay ing an exorbitant rate, as he con- sidered, at the railroad eating houses, the Kansan shared the contents of a fellow-traveler's lunch basket. When at Deming he grew thirsty for cup of coffee and went out to procure the same, He entered the car, ate and drank alternately until the cup was half empty, when he turned to his travelling companion and said: T cannot drink all this coffee; the cup is yet half full; I paid ten cents for it, and you may have what is left for a nickle." His companion was a western man. He gave the fellow a whitening look of disgust and right then and there cut his acquaintance for the rest of trip.
