was 4 stranger Tetzel had met on the

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead.eeat 10 Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming dead-beat. Criminals are de-
slised and abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as we'll as the
contempt Of his fellow men. There is
something at once SO mean and so lit
tie in taking advantage Of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is we'll established. The
dead.beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he inflicts on 9th.
ers. But that aside. he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move a good deal, and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types Of
crooks. he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
sinning.-Atchison Globe.
