A never failing source of romance
is wrapped up in boy who left home
many years ago and is not heard
from until he bobs up smiling with
fortune made in Western mines
and begins handing around diamonds
and bundles of bonds to the loved
ones left behind. 1t always makes
good story and generally can be
counted upon as true. Boys have a
way of leaving home and striking
out for lands of opportunity; also
they have a way of nursing dreams
of some day going back and doing
what has come to be expected of
them. But where one returns so
many never find it possible to write
the anticipated "happy ever after"
that the few who do can never hope
to offset with their joy the sorrow
that comes through the others.
1t is easy to make a hero of the
boy who goes back a gray-haired
man, but what of the one who never
returns? Even in the land of oppor-
tunity it is not given for every one
to attain to the imposed standard of
diamonds and bundles of bonds.
Others there must be in overpower-
ing numbers who fail to seize the
fleeting sprite and who must toll on
unrequited of those articles neces-
sary for the correct finale. The
mother left to wait puts in Just as
many lonesome years in one case
as the other and to her it makes
small difference whether the return
ed comes clad i'm the rags of the
herder of swine or the gay raiment
of the owner of bonanza mines.

interviewed and during which they
saw him not nor even knew whether
he remained alive? They seem to
make rather steep price to pay for
the privilege of saying land am

bonds are all very well to have. but
after the family has lived through
80 years without them AMI become
reconciled to their absence. thev
make poor return for the years of
worrying the absent one has caused.
Ihere are so many things that can
happen to boys who are afraid.
ashamed or for other reason fail to
write; mothers know and fear them
all,
There is no inspiration, no spur
to ambition, to equal the wish of the
striver to appear well in the eyes
OF those he loves. Every boy who
leaves home means to return home
some day and prove that all the
time he was all right working for
the family pride; but love requires
so little to support 1t day by day, it
Is wrong to put it to longer tests.

AGREE TO
LIVE APART

Not desiring to get divorce, evil
IDENTIFY not believing in that form of
legal separation, Charles Spear and
his wife, Nora Specr, residents of
this city, have agreed to live separ-
ate and apart for the rest of their
lives without having the bonds Of
matrimOny severed by the divorce
court.
This afternoon with County Clerk
Starr an agreement of separation
was filed by Mr.. Spear and his wife
inis agreement states that "differ-
ences have arisen between the hus-
band and wife. They have separat-
ed and intend in the future to live
separate and apart and this agree
ment is recorded to protect the prop
erty rights of each.
The husband gives the wife full
privilege to live separate and apart
from his, and he will never insist on
any further marital relations. On
the other hand the wife valves all
marital privileges and rights, and
will no longer insist that she and
her husband live together.
The agreement states that.
through the efforts of both husband
ana Wlle, Tile OWneISulD lOtb 20,
&c and part of lot 81 in block 1873,
Grand Junction, has been acquired
by them. Each owns a half interest
in the lots and buildings thereon
They have agreed that this owner
ship shall continue as it is, but the
wife may "have the enjoyment and
use of this property exclusively for
herself until such time as she may
remarry to some other person than
the party of the nrst part (the hus-
band)."
Spear will not molest his wife in
these property rights unless she re-
marries, and in that case the prop
erty must be sold and the proceeds
equally divided, or Mrs. Spear may
purchase Spears half interest at
reasonable price.
All the furniture in the home be-
longs to the husband and wife joint
ly. Mrs. Spear is allowed the use
of this furniture unless she desires
to sell 1t, when her husband shall
have half the proceeds.
Mrs. Spear valves all rights to
the wife's portion or widows por-
ticn to any property thai the hus-
band now owns individually or may
acquire for himself in the future.
Il s agreed that the minor child,
Charts A. Spear, shall remain with
the mother: but the father shall
have the privilege of visiting the
child a. reasonable Intervals.
The pecg..ar agreement is signed
by the husband and wife, and is
sworn and in perfect legal form.
The couple has resided in Grand
Junction a number of years and is
we'll known.
There is no question nut what an
agreement to separate in
this manner is to be preferred to the
out of differences and the
of sensational charges and
counter charges in a divorce court,
as is So often the case.

NURSE NAMED GETS
 BULK OF FORTUNE. q
Will of Miss D0Ibeer Sustained
 In Frisco.

San Francisco, May 3O.-The will of Miss Dolbeer, the young woman who, although possessed of S2,OOO,OOO. killed herself by jumping from window of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York city on July 9, 1904, was sustained by the supreme court of California. The will bequeaths the bulk of $2,00OO00 to Miss Eta Warren, Miss Dolbeer's nurse and travelling companion at the time she committed suicide
 Suit to break the will was brought by August Schander, an uncle of Miss Dolbeer. The latter in her will left all her relatives and some friends other than Miss Warren $125.000. Charitable institutions in California were left $SO,. GOO, and Miss Dolbeer set aside 0,O00 for the erection of a mausoleum in Cypress Lawn cemetery. The rest of the estate went to Miss Warren, and there is now no further obstacle to her receiving the great fortune.
 The trial of the suit to break the will was based on the allegation that Miss Dolbeer was of unsound mind when she made the will, as evidenced from the fact that she jumped from the window of her room in the New York hotel. The contestants also alleged un. due influence over Miss Dolbeer by Miss Warren. The contest was appeal ed from one court to another. The present decision is final

DistIgured Corpse Of Old Wo-
 man Found by Boys.

Philadelphia, May 3o.-Almost de- voured by rats and horribly disfgured the body of Miss Bessie Delaney, an old recluse, was found on the floor of her home at 2113 Seltzer street by some boys. Although she lived in pow erty, it is believed that she had con cealed hoard of money she accumu- lated by many years of economy.
 Miss Delaney had been a person of mystery and terror to the children She lived alone and seldom spoke to her neighbors.
 She had always been peculiar and reticent, and when some persons start. ed the rumor that she had left the neighborhood after dark no one in- quired
 It was because of this rumor that the boys plucked up courage to go near the house. They crept into the back yard. and as the familiar figure did not appear they ventured to the house. Through the window they saw the fig ure on the floor.
 Deputy Coroner Shugert is making rigid investigation. Beyond a report that she has a nephew living in this city no information of her relatives could be gained. The deputy coroner found an old trunk in an upstairs room, but would give 20 information regard ing it's eC-

MONEY IN CUTTER.
New Workers Kicked Valuable Bonds
 Woman Picked Up Valuables.

New York, May 30.-For over an hour yesterday pedestrians along Broadway near the Hotel Astor kicked about white envelope and never gave it second thought. It remained for an Austrian woman, who cannot speak English, to pick the envelope up. The envelope con- tained several thousand dollars worth of good bonds and stocks and a fat reward was out for its return.
 Mrs C. R. Vincent, who lives at the Hotel Seville, at Twenty-ninth street and Madison avenue, dropped the envelope while out for walk in the afternoon. She went to the West Forty-seventh street police sta- tion and reported her loss, describ- ing the bonds and stock. Mrs Vim cent said she had been carrying the envelope under her arm.
 Mrs Paulina Bertoldo, whose hus- band is waiter at the Hotel Bel mont and who lives at 434 West Fifty-second street, kicked the en- velope and picked it up. She took the bonds home hnd friend made out the address on the envelope.
 Then Mrs Bertoldo took it to the station house and it was returned to Mrs Vincent. Mrs Vincent said last night that the woman would be re- warded and that the only reason she had not been was that a policeman had received a reward of SIC.

HEARST LOSES POINT
His Average Gain Per Box Drops From l3 # 10 5A T0tal
 Gain is 85.

New York, May 30.-Eight more ballot boxes were opened yesterday in the supreme court before Justice Lambert and the jury in tine Hearst Mcclellan recount suit. The last box, from the fifth election district of the fourth assembly district, was the first of the sixteen boxes so far examined to give Mcclellan gain.
 The net result of the days pro ceedings was a gain of seventeen votes by Hearst, making his total gain for the sixteen boxes recounted in the last three days eighty-five votes. Up to the time the last box was recounted he had gained eighty eight votes, but the gain of three for Mcclellan in. the last box brought Hearst's net gain down to seventeen for the day and eighty-five for the three days.
 Hearsts average per box has dwin- dled from thirteen and one-half votes on Wednesday to five and one-quar- ter votes yesterday. Thursdays ay- craze was eight and one-half
 The largest gain made for Hearst in any one box yesterday was the gain of eight votes in the ballot Dox from the fifth election district of the eighth assembly district. In the sec- ond election district of ,is eighth district a loss of one YOte each was recorded to both Hearst and Mcclellan. This counterbalanced Thursdays result, when the third election district of the twenty-fourth assembly district gave each of them one more vote on the recount. Three of the boxes examined yesterday gave Hearst one more vote each, and the box from the eleventh election district of the fourth assembly dis trict gave him three more votes and the thirteenth of the eighth gave him six more.
 Only two boxes were examined at time yesterday, but Justice Lam bert said that on Monday next, when court reassembles, he will insist on the inspection of at least three boxes. Later in the week he expects to get .he lawyers working on possibly six boxes at time.
 On the ballots counted up to Fri lay night Mcclellan has plurality )f 542. There are 1,94S ballot hox- ss, and his official plurality is 3,4T4.
