They were talking OF dreams,
when the volunteer who was shot
through the hip at San Juan spoke

hours to go to sleep in my tent, |

Msanest Man Lives in Chicago

There are lots OF mean men in the
word says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
There is one in Boston who will never
tell anyone the time Of day; there
is one in Colorado who never lights 9
cigar in winter because his breath
upon the frosty air gives the same
satisfaction, and there is another in
Pillsbury, Wyo., who never has 8
fire in his house because the smoke
might wear the chimney out. But
the mesnest of them all lives right
here in Chicago.
The other night he came along
Randolph Street and stopped at a
little sidewalk stand whereon were
displayed such trinkets as collar
buttons, shoe lsces, combs. and
pocket mirros. He took up one of
the latter, and the proprietor's eyes
frightened at the prospect of sale.
"How muchf" asked the Mesnest
Man.
"Five cents" answered the pro-
prietor of the stand.
The Meanest Man looked the OBJ
iect carefully over. "rll give you
three The other shook his head.
The Meanest Man held out. TOO
much" he said. Somehow, between
the two outstretched hands, the
pocket mirror fell and broke into
several pieces on the payment.
The Meanest Man picked up the
remains. retaining one fragment of
the glass. The proprietor lamented.
The Meanest Man passed on up the
street. At the corner he stopped
and, holding the little piece of mir
ror, before him, ran small comb
through his whiskers.
"a man dosen't need a whole
pocket glass for a small beard" he
muttered.
