To the large number of stories Of
the "meanest man" which are fre
quently related, one should be
added of certain Frenchman, fa-
nous for his habit Of grumbling at
everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by ipAammatory
rheumatism, and was carefully nursed
by his wife, who was very devoted
to him, in spite of his ault-finding
disposition. His suffering caused
her to burst into tears sometimes as
she sat by his bedside.
One day a friend of the invalid
came in and asked how he was get
