Meanest Man of France.
Strand Magazine.


 M. yandille was chief magistrate at Boulogne, and by miserly habits left a fortune of $4.0O0,000. His usual diet was bread and milk. The bread cost very lttle and after eating his loaf at home, his habit was to become his own public milk inspector whom as chief magistrate he had the right to appoint And so, as he declared, to protect the inhabitants from being imposed upon by an inferior quality of milk, he took his walk imme- diately after eating his loaf and demand ed to taste the milk of every salesman he passed, thus saving himself from pur- chasing any Misers are generally strong men-they have to be so in order to live life of prvation-but eventually Van dille. like other misers, was sezed with illness, and the surgeon had to be called In. In those days they bled their patients. The surgeon asked Vandille half livre for the operation, but the millionaire or dered him at once out of sight and sent for the apothecary. The apothecary re- fused to cut the price down, so Vandille sent for poor barber, who undertook to open vein for three sous a time.
 Aye. but said this worthy economist, ''how often, friend, will 1t be necessary to bleed me?'
 Tree times"
 And what quantity of blood do you in- tend to take each time?''
 Eight ounces
 Well, but why can't you take the whole "A ounces at once? You want to are your three sous. Take the "A ounces immediately" The barber was generous enough to obey; M. Vandille lost the "A ounces of blood, and died in a few days, leaving all his vast treasures to the King, whom he made his sole heir.

DEMOCRATS MIX
 IN LIVELY TILT
Senators Bailey and Stone Get
 Into Hot Discussion
ARGUMENT OVER VOTES
Bailey Accuses Stone of Plan to At tack Democratic Vote On Lum- Der But Matter Is Finally
 Smoothed Over.

Washington, June 7.-The last half hour of the session of the Senate today was taken up with a discussion on the dem ocratic side of the chamber on the power Of a national convention to bind senators upon the details of legislation. Senators Bailey and Money insisted that they were not so bound. and both of them referred to the vote of Mir Bryan in the House of Representatives on the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks in opposi- ton to the party platform.
 MT. Stone whose remarks called out these declarations, contended that with some possible exceptions the declarations of national conventions on party policies should receive the adherence of members of Congress and other representing the party.
 The incident culminated in a personal colloquy between Senators Bailey and Stone concerning an attack which Mir. Bailey said he heard the senator from Missouri intended to make on democrats who voted for a tariff on lumber.
 After some exchange of words MT Bailey said he had heard this report from Senator Clarke of Arkansas.
 Retorting, MT. Stone said he did not like to have a matter coming up in private conversation in his own room brought into the Senate, as he thought the fact that he had not attacked senators for their vote on the lumber schedule was suffi- cient
 Oil was poured on the troubled waters tonight and the turbulent situation that existed on the minority side when the recess was taken was smoothed over as though no unpleasantness had occurred. After the roll was called MT Stone took the floor and referred to the colloquy between himself and MT. Bailey as a disagreeable occurrence and said it had grown out of the repeating of a conversa- ton in the democratic cloak room.
 He explained his idea of the converse ton and after that there was an expla- nation by MT. Clarke of Arkansas, who had jocularly twtted some of the dem ocrats who voted for a duty on lumber with the fact that they would receive a dressing down" from MT. Stone
 He thought the whole affair had been magnified and MT. Stone thought the same way about it.
 Then MT. Bailey came to the conclu- sion that the importance of the incident had been exaggerated. The three dem ocrats, all of whom were standing, smiled at each other and sat down.
