The Meaaeat Maa.
To the large number of stories of the
"meanest man" which are frequently re
leted one should be added of a certain
Frenchman, famous for his habit of
grumbling at everything and on every oc
casion. He was attacked by Inflammatory
rheumatism and was carefully nursed by
bis wife, who was very devoted to him
In spite of his fault-finding disposition.
His suffering caused her to burst Into
tears sometimes as she sat by bis bed
side. One day a friend of this Invalid came
In and asked bow he was getting on.
"Badly, badly." he exclaimed, "and It's
all my wife's fault."
"Is it possible?" asked the friend. In sur
prise. "Yes. The doctor told me that humidity
was bad far me and there that wonrnn
sits and cries. Just to make It moist In the
room." Pearson's Weekly.
