 "Rimmy Jim" Giddings says the meanest man isn't man at all; he's a woman. He says he knew her. She had dollar when she married, and her husband had 65 cents. Every time they quarrelled she threw up that extra l5 cents to him and ac- cused him of marrying her for her money.
 Manager J.'J. Costigan, of the Or4 pheum Theatre, tells how a mean man once tried to get the best of him. He insisted that he ought to be admit ted for half price because he had only one eye.

 l c. B. Wilson has a friend in the east who was attorney for a Jew named Jacob Rosinstine, who killed q man and was arrested for it. In some way a friend of Rosenstine's, s, named Isaac Polinski, got on the jury trying the case, and Rosenstine, whc feared execution, got word to him that 1t he could influence his fellow-jurors to bring in verdict of murder in the second degree he would give him $500. | The prosecution was badly handled, and when the jury retired both Rosen- stine and his attorney were confident that it would return in a few minutes with verdict for acquittal. But the jury stayed out three days; then it brought in a verdict of second degree murder.
 Shortly after Polinski called on Rosenstine in prison to collect the $500. He said: @I had to work hard for that money. All them other fel- lers wanted acquittal, but made them make it second degree" | The story is going the rounds that one of the Normal school girls re- gently refused to marry a h-known local character, who then threatened to get his revolver and blow out his brains. She advised him not to wait to get his revolver, but just to take a pinch of snuff and sneeze.

Therefore, when one has Twice too many" men he has three times as many as he ds."-TA.S.
