Neither mans means nor his
worth are measurable by his money.
If he has fat purse and lean heart,
a broad estate and a narrow under
standing, what will his means" do
for him-what will his ''worth" gain
him? Let man be what he will, it
is the mind and heart that make a
man poor or rich, miserable or happy;
for these are always stronger than
fortune.

successful, and when he returned he
sought his wife. She refused 10
have anything 20 DO with the hand
some Western man and applied for
a bill OF separation, 80 A. to prevent
the prOdigal husband from further
annoying her.
John returned to his western home
in Helena, Montana. Upon his ar

decided to again effect a reconcilia-

the desired effect and, after consid-
ering the subject, Mrs. Conway told
him that the past was forgiven.
John again came east, and a few
days ago he and his wife left New
ark ami are now on their way 10
