REDUCTION TO THE TRADE"
Brothcrly Feeling OF 81 House Paint
cr For an Artist Patron.

There is a saying that two Of a trade
can never agree, but there is reason to be
lieve that there is more fraternity Of inter
est than is generally supposed. An in.
stance To prove this theory is found in tht
ease of an artist i'll the suburbs who had
the front of his cottage painted last week
1t WASH much of IA job, but il WAS done
very Well and the painter was told to
bring in his bill.
Three days later the man OF the house
was told that the painter wanted to sec
him.
Tell him to leave the bill and III send
him a check, was the impatient answer
He was informed that the painter want
ed to see him in person, SO there was moth
ing to do but TO show him up
"Well?" said the man Of the house
rather shortly.
II hope you like the job" said the
painter with mysterious smile.
He was informed that it appeared to lie
all right.
Il always 90 good work" said the
painter virtuously But this here house
boss rather throwed myself on this
when / found out who you was.
80 you found ont who Twas. did you?"
"Yes. When went to the drug store
at the corner for putty, the clerk told me
you was painter and one of the best in
this country. l asked why you didn t
paint your house. then. and he said you
had got your hand out now and didn t
paint anything but pictures. 50 when l
found you was in the trade | did my pret-
tiest. And here is the bill-:lS G0-and

To the everlasting credit of the cele-
brated artist be it said that he kept his
face straight and accepted the reduction

to any representations that United

IS NOT A MONOPOLY.
important Court Decision Regard
ing Status Of Associated
Press Of Illinois.


The supreme court Of Missouri, at
Jefferson city, Tuesday banded down
an opinion in the case Of the Star Pub
fishing company against The Assoc
oiated Press Of Illinois, deciding tho
case in favor OF the Associated Press.
The Star company, engaged In pub
fishing an evening Newspaper IN st.
Louis known as The Star, brought
suit for a writ Of mandamus to compel
The Associated Press TO serve it with
the evening news report on the same
terms as that which such service was
being rendered to The Post Dispatch,
which was a member Of The Associated
Press.
The Star company claimed that it
was not able 10 secure from any other
source as satisfactory news report as
that furnished by the Associated Press
and that the agreement Of the Assoeis-
ted Press With the company publish
ing The Post-Dispatch not to furnish
the evening report 70 any other paper
was illegal, and In violation of the
antitrust laws Of the state of Illinois
and the state of Missouri.
The Associated Press answered that
while 1t was In form a corporation. it
was essentially a cooperative society,

members 10 gather aud furnish news

TAX CASE GOES UP.
Supreme Tribunal VIII Pass on Legality
OF Georgia Court Decision.

Supreme Tribunal VIII Pass on Legality
OF Georgia Court Decision.
The decision of the supreme court
Of Georgia pronouncing legal bust
ness tax on street railways, in addi-
ton to the taxes already paid by such
corporations, will be taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States for
final settlement. After a hard fight
the attorneys for the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company, on which the business tax
was levied, secured writ of error to
be taken TO the court of last resort.
The decision to which exception has
been taken is regarded as one of the
most important rendered by the SUI
preme court In months. It settles for
the time being at least the contention
that business tax of so much mile
on the tracks and right of way of a
street railway company can be- levied
in addition to other taxes paid by
street railway companies.
One Of the grounds on which o writ
OF error to the supreme court of the
United States was asked was that the
decision did not have a general appli-
cation.
