Why Hancock Died Poor.

he had malty calls upon his 1 arity. It
was their-envy cross of his li that his
twin brother. for thirty yearN resident of
a distant \Vcsterllcity. haddisappointcd
his expectations. lost his ambition and
sunk into a living death. His brother ,
was a lawyer. one of the most brilliant in

fcll a victim to his love for good coul-
party and good cheer. lle Went down
from his high position like a rocket. and
for the last fifteen years has been entirely

forswear the flowing bowl and show him-
self a thoroughly reformed man. ‘ lle still
lives in the same house. and the lady is -
there too and still unwedded. She isi
true to her loy e. but is «wally true to her
