that there was no more reason for her
breaking Off her relations with Stead
man than for Jones to break with
Julia.
Finally Jones. who was perfectly sat
isfied with his wife and really had only
a friendly interest in Miss Brsnt. as
sured the former that the only reason
he had for not breaking with her was
that he didn't like to DO so without
giving the true reason. which was that
his wife was Jealous of her. to which
Mrs. Jones replied that there was no
necessity OF his giving a reason. All
he had to do was to drop Miss Brant.
He asked his wife II in that event she
intended to drop Steadman. and she re-
Piled that since she considered that
wife should receive no man her hus-
band objected to she certainly would
in that event give Mr. steadman notice
60 discontinue his calls.
Jones couldn't make up his mind to
break with Miss Brant-not that her
friendship was necessary to bis com
fort, but because he did not like to
treat a woman friend harshly. And
how could he discontinue his visits to
her and cease to invite her TO his home
without indicating that II meant a
break between them7 Nevertheless
Mrs. Jones insisted on accepting the at
tentions OF Steadman as long as Jones
continued on friendly terms with Miss
Brant, and n he was ever to be reliev-
ed OF the occasional presence Of man
he hated he must give In. He aid so.
The next time Miss Brant came TO the
house he remained In his room, and he
never called on her again.
Mr. steadman did not again appear
AZ the Jones home. and both bones Of
contention were removed. Children
were born 20 the Joneses. and a united
family was the result.
Mrs. Jones died after the children
were all grown and most of them had
been married. At last Mr.. Jones was
left alone. He had only the memory
OF bis life companion, and the more
he thought over her many good traits
the more he revered her One day he
set about destroying the letters she
had received and kept. thinking It best
that they should not be perused by 9th
ers. Among them he found a small
package marked Concerning Julis
Brant." He read some of them. They
were letters to his late wife. giving con.
hdentlal opinions Of the lady. and did
not rate her very high. One was from
Mrs. Jones' brother. who recommend
ed her by all means to break up her
husbands intimacy with Miss Brant
and said he knew her to be a siren Of
very bad kind.
Mr.. Jones wondered. BE had thought
that he was the only man whom Miss
Brant had loved.

Ether was known to the earliest
chemists. Nitric ether was discovered
by Kunkel in 1851 and muriatic ether
from the chloride Of tin. in 1859, by
Courtanvaux. Acetic ether was first
prepared oy Gay-Lussac. The beneh
cent discovery that ether is capable OF
rendering one insensible to pain is due
to Drs. Jackson and Morton. who
about the year 1916, introduced it into
the practice Of surgery. Some claim
that as between the two men the hon
ors are about easy. Apart from the

Mr., MATHIS CASE.

One Of the Polk county supervisors
threatened by a suit for his removal
from the board on charges preferred
under the Cosson law, has resigned In
a long statement the supervisor gives
his reasons for the action he has taken,
would cost him from $4,000 to $1,000 10
fight the proceedings that have been
started against him and that ne could
not afford to do 80.
Il am comparatively a poor man
l do not have the money to pay the
expense that will be imposed upon me
1 could only obtain the money py
mortgaging the little farm owned by
me, which represents the accumulation
Of a life time. To undertake this
would be to impoverish myself This /
can not afford to do in justice to my
self and family. I may have made
mistakes. but retire with clear con-
science" said Mathis.
Mr. Mathis estimate Of the cost Of
defense seems large. 1t ought not cost
$4,000 to defend a just cause with a
SASd4 SOi1SClcuGe IL Is 10 De assumed
that the estimate looks toward an ac-
quittal from Mr.. Mathis view point.
1t also seems that a mortgage on
the farm is a better legacy than a
mortgage on Mr.. Mathis standing. both
for Mr.. Mathis and his family. The
best thing any man can leave his fam
lily is an unsullied reputation 1t is
the finest heirship father can leave
child. A good name is better than
riches. If as Mr. Mathis AYERS he is
guiItless and of clear conscience. his
sense of proportion as between cou-
pie of thousand dollars and his good
name seems to be out of true.
There Is little sympathy for a man
who viii not fight an unjust accuse
ton: there need be none for him who
is justly accused. In either case there
need be few tears shed over the case
