The Story of a Mean Mam.
This Is the story of a mean man. He
may not be the meanest on record, but
he carries a very fair brand of close
fistedness. He had a contract to sup
ply, a certain amount of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out all
the work he could get by running eight
hours a day.
The mean man had an engineer who
was a genius. The genius went to his
employer on» day and said he thought
ho could make some improvements in
that machine so It would do more work
In less time. The genius was paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days, taking it apart and putting it
together again. When reconstructed,
it proved to have greater efficiency
than before, so much so that it did the
same amount of work in one minute
and a half that it used to take four
and a half to do.
The mean man, however, could get
no more contracts than before. He
could fill all his orders by running
about three hours a day. The mean
man then went to the genius and said:
“See here, Henry, I’ve been paying
you by the month, but there isn’t as
much work as there used to be—not
enough to keep you busy. I shall have
to pay you by the hour after this.”
Henry demurred. He had been too
faithful, but he didn’t think that ought
to reduce his earnings over one-half.
His employer was firm, however, and
Henry resigned.—New York Mail and
Express.
Aa Experiment In Journalism.
Once there was a really radical pa
per, In London it was, but the man
who made it now lives here and tells
the tale. It was one of those papers
which are a tragedy. They represent
{the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong
men who must find the outlet for their
apostolate. This paper began by being
at odds with all that was established,
and it had readers. But as time went
on the man who made the paper drove
off singly and in groups all those who
had begun by being his supporters. It
was found a little too radical for them,
and they no longer kept step with its
newest march.
“Of course I now can see that such a
paper was foredoomed to failure,” the
editor said after he had recited the ear
ly history of his venture. “I confess
it was pretty strong even for British
radicals. After the circulation had
dwindled down to the extremists I suc
ceeded in alienating about half of them
by denouncing social democracy as feu
dal oppression, and the other half left
me when I attacked atheism on the
score of its superstitious tendencies.
After that I ran the paper as long as I
could without any subscribers. But I
had to give it up. Nobody would read
it except myself, and toward the end I
had to give up reading it myself. I
found it too unsettling. So it stopped.”
—New York Commercial Advertiser,
Eight years ago the silver pro
duction of Colorado was worth six
times the value of the gold pro
duction. Last year the gold pro
duction was two and a half times
the value of the silver. Colorado
is now producing annually more
than $20,000,000 of gold. That
is one reason why the silver sen
timent in that state is on the
wane.
The Iionseit Word.
•“Rob,” said Tom, “which is the most
dangerous word to prpnounce in the
English language?”
“Don’t know, unless ifs a swearing
word.” -
“Pooh!” said Tom. “It’s ‘stumbled,
because you are sure to get a tumble
'between, the first and last letter.”
“Ha, ha!” said Rob. “Now, I’ve got
one for yon. I found it one day in
the paper. Which is the longest word
in the English language?’
“Incomprehensibility,” said Tom
promptly.
“No. sir; It’s ‘smiles.’ because there’s
a whole mile between the first and
last letter.”
“Ho, ho!” cried Tom, “that’s noth
ing. I know a word that has over
three -miles between Its beginning and
ending.”
“What’s that?” asked Rob faintly.
“Beleaguered,” said Tom. — Pear

Pepsin preparations often fail to
relieve indigestion because they
can digest only albuminous foods.
There is- one preparation that di
gests all classes of food, and that
is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It cures
the worst dases of indigestion and
gives instant relief, for it digests
what you eat. H. M. Holtzclaw’s

A new kind of debauch has
been discovered. In a New Jer
sey police court a day or two ago
a defendant brought up for theft
said: “lama candy drunkard,
your honor. I cannot resist my
appetite for candy, and if I hav
en’t got money to buy candy I
must steal it. ’ ’
His Accent and His Country.
On one occasion during a visit to
' America Michael Gunn, who assisted
Gilbert and Sullivan in bringing out
many of their operas, was trying the
voices of some candidates for the cho
rus. One of them sang in a sort of
affected Italian broken English. The
stage manager interrupted. “Look
here,” he said, “that accent won’t do
for sailors or pirates. Give us a little
less Mediterranean and a little more
WhiteehapeL”
Here Gunn turned and said: “Of
what nationality are you? You don’t
sound Italian.”
The other suddenly dropped his ItaK
inn accent and in Irish said, “Shure,
Mr. Gunn, I’m from the same country
as yourself.”
Such little pills as DeWitt’s Lit
tle Early Risers are very easily
taken, and they are wonderfully
effective in cleansing the liver and
bowels. H. M. Holtzclaw’s Drug
