AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
Tho Dead-6eat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin. but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
man should hesitate long before be-
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de-
spised and, abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well 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 a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well 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 intlicts 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-
ginning.-Atchison Globe.
