Usually they have to hold more or
less of conversation with the party
to find out what they want. Then
they have to punch push button
that rings a bell, and call up the par

other parties wanting that line at the
same time, and the girl must cut off
the one at the end of three minutes,
and give the line to the next one.
And through 1t all she must be pleas

A JUST RULING.

A Butler, Mo-, publisher brought
suit against one of his subscribers
who had taken the paper for a time
and then refused to pay, after the
old-fashion with which so many
newspaper makers are sadly familiar.
The subscriber, it is alleged, even
showed to the magistrate that he had
ordered the sheet discontinued, yet
the Court of Appeals held that the
mere acceptance of a paper created
liability. In summing up the case
the Judge said:
The preparation and publication
of newspaper involves much ply
sical and mental labor, as we'll as the
outlay of money. One who accepts
the paper by continuously taking it
from the postoffice, receives a bene-
fit and pleasure arising from such
labor and expenditures as fully as if
he had appropriated any other pro-
duct of another mans labor, and
by such act he must be held liable
for the subscription price"
1t is fallacy held to many peo-
pie that, under certain circum-
stances, they are not Obliged to pay
for a newspaper that they have re-
ceived for years. 1t is true that
