CHARACTER SKETCH.
NO. 12
The author of the "Character Sketch
es," which for two seasons now have
been a feature of The Couriek, sent
with the twelfth sketch, which appears
below, the following more or less person
al note to the editor:
"Don't you think it would be a Rood idea
now to discontiruo the sketches? It seems
to tno the people of Lincoln hare been very
forbearing, and they are entitled to some
respite. With jour iormisiion I will put up.

me that sometimes you have thought my re

rather too indefinite. Your criticism, probab

will readily understand the difficulty I have
had in properly focusing tho kidak. Somo

cognired, from tho timid, jtolitic, vacilliating
and generally unreliable man who was pictured
in the first sketch, of this scries, down to the

The fact of the matter is, the author of

to the maker of the sketches that the

additional views may appear from
time to time, tr.
There are a great many fairly nice
people with compressed minds. They
are nearsighted, mentally. The world
to them, isn't a great something that
extends over a circumference of twenty
five thousand miles, and takes in an
infinite variety of things and thoughts.
It is a prescribed field, fenced on four
sides by ignorance, conceit, jealousy
and incapacity. Frequently, it is no

larger than ono small town, sometimes
it don't extend beyond thejimits of tho
neighborhood. And once in a while it
is confined to a single office room or
family residence. In this shut in area
these people with small minds gambol
qbout with all the joyous self-assurance
possessed by people who are able to get
over tho bars that exist for the narrow
minded. They survey their own little
town, or neighborhood, or office with
the feeling that therein is the world.
They cannot see what is beyond, and
they do not believe in Anything that is
outside of their vision. Columbus had

was anything but space out in the broad
expanse of the Atlantic Talk to these
Hat minded people of a country out of
their ken, of a condition of things they
know not of, and they at once become
doubting Ferdinands. They cannot be
persuaded that there is anything of im
jxirtance outside of their little sphere;
for downright an ogance they aro 'way
chead of those who really have some
little excuse for arrogance. They judge
everything by their own little standards;
small themselves nearly everything else
is small to them.

that as a corollary of their small minds,
they have small hearts. They profess to
be "big hearted like other people; but
they aro not The heart is controlled
by avarice or some form of selfishness,
and they are unable to see any virtue in
others, or in an thing they do not them
selves do. The promptings of the heart
have their mainspring in a small mind,
and they are, necessarily, instinct with
littleness.
Oftentimes they are quite successful.
Bigotry and narrow-mindnesa are often
successful. Avarice and other attributes
of a shriveled nature are often effective
as against Inequalities of a nobler mind;

and in this life the small men are
sometimes, in. the estimation of the
people, greater than those who are en
titled to tho distinction of greatness by
reison of their bigness of mind and
heart. The latter so often lack the
qualities of self-advancement that are
always to be found blooming lux
uriantly in the narrow minded.
1 have sought in these sketches to
typify certain characteristics in persons
known to readers of The Couriek; and
following out this plan I now call up a
rather well known man in this city who

a pretty decent sort or fellow. Of course
he hasn't any strong friendships his
heart isn't big enough to take in unre

true that he hasn't a great many
enemies hij small mind prompts him
to a sufficient cunning to prevent his
making enemies on a large scale. He
has got in the habit of spending a great
many hours in his office and never look
ing out of the window. A hundred

papers on his desk. Not onco have I

things more important. His mental
range is fearfully small. He only sees a
few things, and his understanding
doesn't go bejond these few things. He
is full of prejudice, nut unmixed with
hj pocrisy. Under the cover of professed
regard he does not hesitate to stab right
and left. His smallness is manifested in
a desire to throw obstacles in the way
of other's success. He is envious and
jealous, and jet, as I have indicated, he
passes for a fairly good fellow. Xot a
great many people know him well.
Those who do are acquainted with his
narrow or small mindedness, and may
recognise him from what I have said of
his character. Nearly everybody knows
