~ FAD this letter! It's so brave
X and fine and clean and loyal
that it's a tonic in this day
when few people have the courage
to deny themselves the desire Of
the moment-much less the desire
Of long, empty years.
Read this letter! 1t gives you
back your faith in these times OF
which 80 many philosophers ask
desperately: What's the world
coming to-"
Eight years ago-it's a long,
time, Miss Fairfax met man
THE man! He possessed every
thing that makes up the type Of
American manhood at its best! He
wasn't perfect-bless me, no! l
should not have expected him to
be, but he was every inch a thor
oughbred!
He was kind, had big heart,
he was honest and square in busi-
ness and out Of it, and he was a
fighter. We worked side by side
for many years and during that
time l studied him until l knew
every smile and every frown. For
the first few years Of our ac-
quaintance nothing was said Of
love. He was married-living
apart from his wife, but never
theless he was married!
That in itself was barrier
through which I thought I would
never dream Of breaking. I don't
want you to feel that take mar
riage lightly hold it sacred
and were anyone to have told me
those days that some day would
love a married man" l should
have laughed at them. But con-
stant daily association soon de-
veloped into a slow, sure, firm de-
votion-and so we realized that we
loved each other.
The next thing was freedom"
How we planned and schemed and
worked for it'll He offered his wife
money--anything she wanted-if
she would but free him. U know
it sounds cruel and mercenary and
hard to think of "bartering" Tor
freedom-but the woman did not
live with him for years and did not
love him-she had been indifferent
long before l came into his life.
But knowing he wanted 1t and
feeling some other woman was
the cause, she flatly refused to
listen. We hoped on for years
six years passed-think Of It! Six
long years of loving and waiting
and hoping and the woman re-
mained firm in her decision. To
throw aside conventions and live
as some folks are contented to live,
that was out of the question. He
would not permit it, and of course
/ would not Maybe, il he had

Some Way Must Be Found To
Improve Streets and Roads
By BILL PRICE.

Washington will look to the District Commissioners,
and particularly to the engineer branch of the District gov
ernment to find and means of pushing the rebuilding
and repairing of District roads and streets which in
condition absolutely disgraoefu to the National Capital
The Commissioners now find themselves with appropn
atons apparently insufficient to do the work estimated
various roads, at any rate it impossible to obtain salts
factory bids from contractors Whether the Commissioners
failed to obtain from Congress sufficient to make
allowance for increasing prices of materials; whether the
contractors seeking too much in the way Of proft
whether congsted railroad traffic prevents obtaining mate
ras whatever the for delaying the work. there
be doubling the deplorabc fact that of Washing
tons main suburban thoroughares have reached almost
impossible stage They rnous to vehicles and too
slightly for city like Washington
Every possible effort should be made to complete these
projects carry them far available money will per-
nit Much longer delay is of the question Unless the
Commissioners take firm and aggressive grip the stu

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous 20 Record, but Detract Liz
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister of education
points cut some mistakes that he has
come across ID books. One Of them
runs through ''Tyanhoe." where the
N0Tmans and SaxOns are represented
as two distinct races. The fact is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman conld hardly
be told from Saxon but Sir Walter
Scott tiId not realize this until the story
was set up in type. and SO the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through It, Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphry Ward. who in one
of her books made two people take
chairs IN Kensington gardens IN the
first week I'd October, though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
tember SO. Charles Kingsley makes
John 'Brumblecome" recite a prayer
from the prayer hook long before the
time the prayer was put In: the poet
Pope makes a weasel eat corn. which
weasel never does; and likewise in
''Don 0ulxotes the merry Cervantes
makes one Of his parties at a tavern
eat two suppers In one night. The life
Of a novelist Is full Of trouble. bat such
little things do not seem TO matter
greatly. We would rather have the
stories with ell their mistakes than
have the dull facts without the stories.

ETHER FIRST USED IN BOSTON
IN 1914 Horace Wells, Dentist, Made
= Successful Experiment on
Himself.

In 1914, Horace Wells, dentist, Hart
ford, Conn.,, attended a lecture by Col
ton on nitrous oxid gas. In illustrat-
ing the lecture gas was administered
to one Of the audience, who became
unconscious. This led Wells to be-
heve that 1t might be employed to rem
der painless the extraction OF teeth.
He tried IL on himself and found that
It was so.
During the same year william Nor
ton, Boston dentist, heard that sui
furic ether could be inhaled in small
quantities to produce Inconsistencies.
Accordingly. he experimental. He was
inSensible for eight minutes. On re-
covering he concluded that ether might
be employed successfully in surgical
work. On October 16. 1346, Morton adj
ministered ether TO q patient In the
Massachusetts, general hospital in
Boston.
II was IN November, 1847, that Simp-
son, famous Scottish scientist of Edin-
burgh, resolved to try personally the
Inhalation Of chlorofOrm. Sitting with
his friends, Duncan and Keith, around
3 dinner table, he proposed that they
inhaie chFOroform. Each consented to
the test. First. their minds were liven-
ed tBEH they fell into deep stupor.
Simpson, recovering first, found Dun
can snoring on the floor. and Keith,
half-senslbie. struggling to regain the
chair from which he had fallen.
