in this manner: Il have made up my
mind not to be rich. 1t is entirely too

and I'm afraid would make me as mean
as some other rich folks. If we are
all poor with plenty Of grub, and to wear,
we might be compelled to be honest"

and Mrs. Williams separated and the lady
applied for a divorce from her first hus-

Mr.. Williams and Miss Ruby determined
to join fortunes once more. The wed
ding Saturday night was the result
