RULING ON BOOK SALES.
Court OF Appeals Says Publish
ers Can Regulate the Retail
Price OF Copyrighted Works.

ALBANY, N. Y, tuesday, de
cision of widespread importance was
handed down by the Court of Appeals
today in the case Of Isidor Straus and
Nathan Straus, composing the firm of
R. H. Macy & Co., against the Amer
lean Publishers Association ct al.
In effect, the decision is that il is
unlawfulfor the American Publishers
Association to maintain a set price
for uncopyrighted books, but lawful
if the books are copyrighted.
The decision is the elimination of
a contest that has been carried on
since December, 1902, when Macy &
Co. brought action against the Amer
ican Publishers Association and sew
eral publishing houses that were menu
b.rs of the American Booksellers As
ISOLATION, a voluntary corporation,
which made a rule that any retailer
cutting prices would be shut off from
supplies of books.
A copyrighted book, brought out
by Funk & Wagnalls, listed to sell for
$40, was sold by Macy & Co., 1t is
alleged, for $t.7o, whereat the pub
fishers cut off Macy & Co.'S supply,
and this action was the result The
court, by its decision, upholds the
right of the publishers to maintain
prices for copyrighted works, but
also affirms the order for a reference
to ascertain damages with regard to
other works.

Steady! Don't get excited. Economic time,
money and effort by being systematic. Haphaz-
ard, random buying is usually hapless. Right shy
of a0hi7Iwind finishes. Plan early; execute
promptly. Make a list before you come to the
store. You can think clearer in tn. quiet of your
home than amid the tumult and hurly-burly ofthe
aisles. Concentrate your mind on the work in
hand. Don't let your thoughts strike off at tan
gents. Keep close to the "buy" angle. Our
stocks invite; our prices urge: Among other
things that claim your interest just now are UNI
brellas, Canes, Smokers Articles, Automobile
Requisites, Handkerchiefs-a France and an Ireland

OF Interest 10 Everybody


less familiar with the history of
the litigation referred to in the OPP
posite, which was taken from the
news columns of The New
York Times. Dec. 9th.
The legal issue involved is in
the hands of our attorneys. Con-
corning that we need say nothing,
except to tell you the ruling
Just made is not final: a
higher court is yet to pass upon
the merits of our claims.
Our fight with the American
Book Publishers Association is a
cause celebre. in that it is the
only instance known to American
retailing that a firm has actually
sustained a legal battle six years
for the privilege of selling
their goods at prices con-
sistent with the regular
policy controlling their
profits. Stripped of technical
ties, our contention is that when
we buy books from a publisher,
paying him the price he asks, it is
a violation of sound business ethics
and decidedly in restraint of trade
for him to dictate to us the price
we shall charge you.

How to Stick Stamps.

"Say," remarked the postoflice clerk
who was off duty rs he watched Il
friend affix two stamps to the corner
of an envelope, "why don't you put
those stamps on horizontally instead
Of vertically? Don't you know you
would save lot of work for us stamp
ers If you put your stamps beside each
other instead Of under each other? We
always have to make two strokes when
canccling vertically pasted stamps by
hand, and they don't work well through
the stamping machines either"
"Is that so?' inquired his friend as
he took another envelope and proceed
cd to affix two stamps to it in a ver-
tical position. 'Then, by the great
horn spoon, why doesn't the govern
ment sell its stamps in horizontal
lines? Look at these. Here bought
90 cents worth of two cent stamps.
and they come to me IN vertical lines.
If buy five twos, get them attached
one to the bottom Of the other. Do
you think I'm going to the trouble Of
tearing each stamp off just to please a
government clerk by pasting them side
| by side! Guess again. New York

A MARKET IN MOROCCO.
The Best Place to Study the Ways Of
the Willy Natives.

The Best Place to Study the Ways Of
the Willy Natives.
The place Of all places to see the
Moorish people Is at their markets, for
every class and kind of them is there.
and when you have seen one market
you have seen them all, for there Is
racial similarity in the Moors the world
over.
The first thing about Moorish mar
ket that attracts the attention Of a
traveller is the farreaching odor or,
rather, the multiplicity of odors, for
there is composite character about
the smell of Moorish market that cam
not be equaled anywhere outside of
China. Before you can even hear the
continual wrangle and jangle of the
market place you can smell 1t.
Once there the intermInable tumble
of things and folks Is disconcerting.
and the evidence of dirt everywhere
takes from an American all desire to
deal In eatables, for the Moors seem to
be wholly insensible to dirt of any
kind and every kind and have no objec-
ton to fruit and berries that have come
In unprotected over miles of dusty ana
sandy roads.
These people are natural traders, sec
ond to none in their ability to obtain
the highest possible price or equally
ready willingness to let the article go
for mere pittance rather than miss
making a sale.
They will begin the price of q lamp
ut 3 shillings and after little haggling
will come down to shilling, but il you
move on they will-thrust the lamp into
your hand and ask you to give them
anything for it that you will, and it IS
a sale, no difference how small may be
your offer.
In nearly all countries the every
where present and always the same
donkey Is an inevitable adjunct OF
Moorish market. The whole animal
kingdom would be searched through in
vain to find any creature more wholly
devoid Of impulse and sentiment than
this imposed upon little beast.
Like fatalist philosopher, he is
wholly resigned to the order of things,
and nothing can cause him to stir from
the even tenor Of his ways. Caressing
and even food do not seem to add any
to his satisfaction. and beating and
abuse do not detract from his tranquil
lity. His fe. lures are perfectly immo-
bile.
AS he stands In the market place one
may pet him and give him bits Of grass
or fruit and he will not raise his head
or even open his eyes. He is the SUI
preme, ineffable resignation in flesh
and blood. And no Moorish market Is
complete without him by the score

going. taking with them the packages
Of checks which have been deposited
with the settling clerks. The latter
still have work to do. Their assistants
rescue the little tickets from the CON-
partments into which they were drop
ped, and the settling clerks scan the
amount of them to see if they agree
with the totals on the exchange slips.
When first he entered the room the
settling clerk gave the proof clerk in
the managers gallery the amount of
the checks he brought with him. Now
he ascertains the total Of the amount
deposited with him. Soon he is able
to tell whether his bank has debt or
credit balance, and this information he
communicates to the proof clerk. Then
the clearing house knows exactly how
much cash will have to be moved from
bank to bank in adjusting balances.
Forty-five minutes Is the limit allow
ell for making the exchanges and PROV
ing the balances, and fines may be i'm
posed If the allotted time is exceeded.
But it Is rarely necessary to impose
fines, SO rapid Is the work of the mes
sengers and so simple the system of
exchange Most of the work is done
before the messengers get to the clear
ing house. The checks for exchange
with other banks are inclosed in sep
arate envelopes. and these envelopes
are arranged in consecutive order in
the delivery clerks bag, so all needless
delay in depositIng them Is eliminated.
To make the clearing finally complete
1t Is of course necessary to exchange
the cash. Accordingly" says James
G.. Cannon in his book on Clearing
Houses" before half past l o'clock
each debtor bank, In compliance with
the requirements Of the constitution,
pays into the clearing house the amount
of its debit balance and obtains a re-
ceipt for the same signed by the as
sistant manager. After half past l
O'clock the creditor banks receive at
the clearing house their respective bal
ances and give their receipts for the
same in book provided for that pur-
pose, but in no case can a creditor
bank receive Its balance until all the
debtor banks have paid in."-New York

~uE Jenkinses' donkey was as
well known in Charlottesville as
the schoolteacher, minister or
doctor. For twenty years or
more it had hauled the family and the
family produce in and out of town.
There were many who could remember
1t when young and dapper, but the
passing years had altered its age, ap-
pearance and disposition very much in
deed. When left in front Of the store
he did not need to be tied and afford
ed an effective illustration of the prin-
ciple of inertia to the master of the
village school.
"When moving body comes to rest"
he would say to pupils Of the class in
