The Meanest elan in Kansas.
Not long ago the wife of a West-

lay aside polities' long enough one
day to dig the potatoes in the ger-
den. He agreed to do it. After
digging for a. few• minutes he went
into the house and said he had found
a coin. He waelted it off and it
proved to be a silver quarter., Be
teat it In his jeans and went baek
to work. Presently he went to the
bouse again and said he had found
another cola. He washed the dirt off
of It. It was a silver half dollar.
He put it In his jeans, "I have worked
hard," said he to his wife; "I guess
I'll take a Mort nap." When he
awoke he found that his wife had
dug all the rest of the potatoes.
But she found no coins. It thendawn-
