He's not the man who wore his brain Into a frazzled wreck To mP.k > a button of a wart That grew upon his neck. He's not the man who saved his heels By walking on his toes. He's not the man who saved bis teeth By talking through his nose. The meanest man Is not the one WhOSO greed insatiate Caused him to climb tin1 fence to save The hinges on the gate. Tin? meanest man on earth today Is not the man who totes A quart of shoepegs to his horse And palms them off for oats. Nay, all these men tue gentlemen Of wondrous heart, and kind. Compared to him who is so mean He always whips behind. God bless the man who's kind enough To Just look straight ahead. And never growls because a kid Hooks on a little sled. May health be his, and length of years; And may he fortune And For nothing Is too good for him Who never whips behind. ?The Commoner.

Jonen, Native of Lanca shire, England. \fter an illnesr. of about *even weeks. Dr. Thus. F. .Tones, a traveling representative for a Boston concern with headquarters at Columbia, died at bis boarding house in this city hist Thursday night. Friday afternoon, Ike .W<tt? buried in the city cemetery, the Rt.'v.iC. 1*. Parker, rector of the Churtit of the Epiphany, officiating. Shortly after bis arrival in Laurent some weeks ago Dr. Jones fell ill with inflamatory rheumatism, and gradually grew worse until the end came Thurs day night. Mr. and Mrs. Ham Moore, with vi ho in he was stoppitrg, gave him every attention possible. With the as sistance ;pf friends and :neig4ibors, and several of the local physicians saw him * on* I;;,i. to time. Very little was known liefe about .the life -of the deceased. Jie was 62 years of age and said that he was a illative of Laaicasbire, England, and be. fore coming to this country \Z years ago. had lived for some time in East India wIipw h? held a high position in the judicial department for a wjijle. Those who knew him say that lie was a ?man .of (One intellect ajid culture, H seems that he had separated from his family, consisting of a wife and si* children. According to Jones his wife now resides at Key West, Fla., with her sister, but efforts to communicate with her thefore the death of her husband proved futile. As to bis children's whereabouts, the deceased, if he knew, continued silent until the end. His means were meagre, but though the efforts of local members of the order, the T. P. A. association of which the deceased was a member, sent a do nation from Columbia for bis benefit. This however, did not suffice to cover all expenses, and upon his death the city took charge and had his body giv en a decent burial.
