MIKE CONNOLLY TELLS
 OF STTNGIEST MAN
We'll Known Memphian, Who has Many Pine Bluff Acqnaintances, Comes Forward With a Story That Caps the Climax.

Mike ". Connolly, former Aitor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, now state factory inspector of Tennessee and who also publishes Elkdom. gives the following account of the stingiest man in the world. Mfr, Connolly has frequently visited this city and the story will be of interest to his many acquaintances here. He says:
 ''The town of Gallatin claims to have the stingiest man in Tennessee, if not in the world, and a premium is offered for his superior in close tistedness. He got married to a home girl to save expenses. They walked around the square for bridal tour. He bought her a nickel's worth Of stick candy for wedding present, and then suggested that they save the candy for the children.
 "He is not q native and to the manor born, but an importation from the ,thitherward side of Somewhere or Other; yet Memphis harbors him in the contest. 4 divorce bill filed in court reveals him. He makes his wife eat mush and milk to save her store teeth; he makes his baby take long steps to save it's shoes; he looks over the top of his spectacles to save wearing out the lenses; he sits on the rear seat of the street car with the negroes to save interest on his nickel; he carries a piece of bacon rind in his pocket to grease the top of the glass so as to make it hold a few more drops of whiskey when any one buys him drink, and he refuses to shake hands with any one in order to save the wear and tear on his muscles"
