His Wife Was Good to Him,

He had failed for half a million, and
his assets would not pay 2 cents on the
dollar. He gave up everything he had
to satisfy his creditors, not even reserv.
ing the watch in his pocket. And yet
they growled. An old friend called to
see him. He met him at the depot with
a $4,000 span of horses and conveyed
him to a 5000, 900 residence, where he
dined and wined him like a prince, on
the finest of china and costliest OF
plate.

absolutely everything, to my creditors,

bankrupt, in a o n of self-abnegation.
"Why, you appear to be living pref
ty well,' remarked the old friend.
"Ah, my dear sir, how mistaken you
are!' returned the 2-cent-on-a-dollar
failure. Everything that you see is
my ENTHUSIASTICALLY everything. But

Sarah Althea Hill, of the famous law
suit against Senator Sharon, is of me-
dium height we'll developed, with a
1.-the, tr m figure. Sh" gives at first
sight the impression of a woman who
is abundantly able to take care OF her
self, and yet the expression of her face
and her attitudes are very womanly, as
though she lacked confidence and were
appealing for support. Her features
are regular, her face oval. She is
neither blonde nor brunette, with dark
brown hair, which is allow d to fall in
graceful waves over her full round fore
head. Her most attractive feature is
the full brown eyes. Her nose is clear
cut, and her mouth is also resolute in
the habitual compression of her lips;
but this is somewhat belied by a slight
droop at the corners, as though an
originally fine will had been overlaid bv
a strain of voluptousness which weak
ened and coarsened it. Her whole
manner shows nervousness and vitality.
