THE MEANEST MAN

A correspondent of the "Yorkshire Evening Post" says lie thinks he has discovered the meanest man in Leeds. The freak, he says, entered the General Post Office He first asked a "Lrk at the counter whether the clock vva? set to correct time On being assured that it was, he set his watch by it' He then replenished his stock of stationery by pocketing a handful of telegrap.a forms.. A hunt round the counters, with a request for a bit of gummed stamp margin paper followed. That was obligingly handed over by a clerk, and then the limit was reached when the man proceeded to fill his fountain pan at the natios's expense from one of the Post Office ink bottles! It is to be hoped, for the credit of the city, that he Avas not a resident in Leeds. Such goings on are enough to make even the owls in Whitehall Bridge blank. j
