The Meane**. Man.
The meanest man In the world lutr
once more been located. This time
he turns out to be uu eastern busi
ness man who stole a newspaper from
a blind newsboy every morning for
four months. lie wore rubber-soled
shoes and would take it paper from
the lud’s stock without saying a word.
But he was finally trapped, and It
gave a policeman much pleasure to
bear him off to the bnstile. There a
Judge also found satisfaction In fin
ing him the limit. It would have been
cheaper had he subscribed for the pa
per twenty years In advance.
Two Royal Idiots.
Handkerchiefs oval in shape are
fashion's newest fad In England.
Once they were made all shapes. In
1784 Louis XVI issued a law that all
handkerchiefs should be square In
shape, because Queen Marie Antoin
ette remarked that It would be much
neater. Now, can you understand
why Louis and Marie Antoinette were
beheaded and the revolution came?
WISE Mil. FOX
TWTR. FOX had not the least Idea
_ why he carried off the old cart
wheel from Mr. Man’s barnyard, but he
was so cross because lie could not get
in to pay a visit to the poultry that he
wanted to do something, and so he
trundled the old wheel off to his home.
"I’ll just place It in front of my
doorway,” said Mr. Fox when he
reached home. “I need not be so care
ful about closing the door, with this
old wheel In front of it. The spokes
will keep folks out and I can get some
ulr.”
This was all Mr. Fox had In his
mind when he left the old wheel by
his door, and he was not In the least
to blame for what followed. But it
proved to he such a good scheme that
he afterward bragged to all the wood
folks about how he "fixed” Mr. Dog,
Mr. Dog had not started out to find
Mr. Fox. He knew nothing about his
call at the farm, but as he was run-
"He Trundled the Old Wheel Off.”
nlng through the woods he happened
to gel on the track of Mr. Fox and fol
lowed the scent straight up to the cart
wheel.
Here he stopped for a second, but
was so sure that Mr. Fox was in his
home that he began to wlilne and bark
and dance about, trying to get through
the spokes.
Mr. Dog was pretty large, so he
could not crawl between the spokes.
First he poked his head between two
of them, then a fror t leg between two
others, and then somehow he seemed
to get all tangled up between those
wheel spokes.
Mr. Dog pulled out a leg, only to
put It between two other spokes, and
the first thing he knew he was rolling
down the hill in front of Mr. Fox’s
doorway with the cart wheel around
his neck.
Mr. Fox had heard the noise, of
course, and was peeking out to see
what was going on, and now that Mr.
Dog was on his way down the hill he
came out to see how it ended.
When he reached the foot of the
hill Mr. Dog jumped up and, without
stopping even to give himself a shake,
he started off home on the run with
his tall between his legs, and he did
not stop until he was Inside his house.
"Well, you should have seen how
my trick worked,” said Mr. Fox when
later he was telling his neighbor, Mr.
'Possum, about It. “You should get
yourself a cart wheel, friend ’Possum,
and I will wager Mr. Dog will run a
mile without a stop when he spies it
by your doorway.
"I really should be paid for think
ing up such good schemes to protect
us wood folks,” said Mr. Fox, looking
very wise; “but I am so fond of my
friends that I have to share all the
good things I discover with them.”
Mr. ’Possum was not a very wise
creuture, but he knew Mr. Fox pretty
well, and he did not feel at all cer
tain there was not some trick about
the new scheme that would get him
into trouble and benefit Mr. Fox. Any
way, he did not see any use in trying
a cart wheel to keep away his enemy
when he lived In a tree, where Mr. Dog
could not climb.
"Going to try It?” inquired Mr. Fox,
who saw cart wheels hanging from
trees all through the woods.
"No,” replied Mr. 'Possum. “It may
be all right for you, who have a tail
only for show, hut with a tall like mine
and a tall tree to climb I think I had
better stick to my own way of escaping
from Mr. Dog.”
"Poor little narrow-minded ’Possum,”
sighed Mr. Fox, as he watched his
neighbor walking away; “he is so old-
fashioned he won’t try anything new.
For my part, I am glad I am broad
minded enough to try new schemes.”
