’■ Motv5A Mean Man Got iiraitcn.
Yesterday morning a poor man,
who lmd just arrived in Little
Koelc, and who didn't li n v c 1
enough money to buy a cheese
sandwich at half price, borrowed
a shovel, and stopping;ip front of
tlie week with milch to amuse and a wealthy man s house, shoveled
the snow from the sidewalk. Then
jho rang the door bull. Colonel
Slippery, the owner of the man-
delight both old and young. The
gold headed cane for the most
popular preacher and the Silver
cup for the most popular young
Lady will attract much attention
and excite considerable rivalry of
n friendly character, a contest
which the ballot can alone decide.
Let alj who desire a pleasant time
attend, a good Supper every night
and lots of things to dispose of
Ruffling every night for Silver
ware, Ac.
Christmas Frolics.
The Methodists on Christmas
sion, came to the door.
“If you please,” said the poor
man, ‘“1 have shoveled the snow
from your sidewalk,”
“If I please?”
“Yes, sir if you pleaso”
“Well, what arc you going to
do about it?” .
“Being very hungry, I thought
■ that you would give me 25 cents.”
The colonel is the stingiest man
in Arkansas, and the idea of sur
rendering 25 cents was a desperate
one.
“See here said toe colonel, “I
wanted that snow to stay where it

P’cutly admired. | The poor jnnn turned around,

when tho colonel exclaimed*.

that 8iiow
was a pleasant affiiirand well eon-
ducted and resulted in a pecunia
ry success, the Hall was crowded
with beautiful girls, while others
presided at the various tables with
delightful grace, and mado many
“Goalioiul, I'll let you off.”
The poor man went away and
the colonel chuckled over li i s
breakfast,
“I saved hyciity-Avo cents,” lu
mused, as he passed through flic
gate and started up town* “I was

Tho poor mau wont away, and
after a time roturnad with a lot pf
tramps and shovels. When the
