He does not know that the box the confectioner's clerk selects bears the inscription, Sweets to the sweet.

 Thus the man who has paid atten- ton without intention to the married woman in such a case may find him self enmeshed in a filtration that he is at a loss to understand how it came about.K
 Where one man has the sense to draw away from the predicament gracefully, another lends himself. in spirit of mischief to the novelty of the situation and matters grow from bad to worse.
 To avoid all such errors of judg- 1aent no wife should receive atten- ton from any man without making her husband aware of it, asking him to thank the donor for her the first time they meet No man, not even an acknowledged firt. will persist in showering courtesies on another mans wife if he knows lis every deed, act and word will be mentioned to the husband.
 It takes two to hirt. two to partici- pate in a romance, two to shut their eyes to the wrongfulness of encour- aging folly. No man is every really srnftten with a married woman It is always pretense upon his part The right kind Of a wife will discourage mans s intentions that border upon TO-

COMMISSIONERS TO HEAR.


 The county commissioners will de- part from their usual custom by go- ing to Fairfield, November 23, to hear the remonstrance against Christian Rist, who wants to establish a saloon in the Jennings building in Southport. In past years tl1e comn1issi oners have always heard Fairfield and Southport remOnstrances in this city. The Rist hearing will be held in the Fairfield town hall.
 The Wakeman Memorial associa- tion, Judge John H. Perry and other Southport residents object, to Rist's application. They claim the location is unsuitable. Last year a rennon- strance was filed against Rist when he applied for another location in Southport, which had been used as a saloon for 25 years. The commits sfoners granted the application but in an appeal to the superior court Judge Shumway loverruled their decis- ion.

BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
 IN SUPERIOR TRIBUNAL


 Brother against sister was the com bination seen in the civil superior court yesterday when the suitSof Isaac Goldstein Of Easton against Anna Lazarus of this city was heard be- fore Judge Case. Go1dstein brought the action against his sister to recov4 er his share in a ss,0o0 farm in Eas- ton.
 Go1dstein says he deeded his share to his sister Jseveral years ago in order to avoid trouble with another brother Louis The understanding was that she was to return the deed to him later. The sister refused to do this. She declared she had pGr- chased Isaac's share. Anna has since bought out her brother Louis and had a chance to sell the whole farm for $9,o0O but did not complete the deal because of Isaac's claim. The court reserved decision.
