Knew Extremes Of Fortune.

John OF Cappadocia. He was Roman

under his direction the finances OF the
government hourished wonderfully.
Incidentally he amassed q great for.
tune for himself. But he was very
corrupt. and the revenues were raised
ION the deaths Of thousands. the pow.
erty OF millions, the ruins OF cities. and
the desolation OF provinces" He lived
most extravagantly, and INDUCED In
all sorts Of wicked practices. But his
life OF destinations profligacy was sud
denly changed into one OF abject pow
erty. Though guilty OF many crimes.
he was accused OF one of which he
seems to have been innocent, and was
condemned to be scourged like the
lowest OF criminals. Nothing OF his
vast fortune was left him but one old
ragged cloak. and 1t is said that for
seven years he begged bread In the
streets OF cities that once had trem-
