DIVIDEND" Is DEFINED.
Supreme Court Gives Victory To In-
snrance Companies il Test Case.

Several important opinions were
handed down by the Supreme Court at
Washington yesterday. The court, by
affirming a judgment of the Circuit
Court of Appeals. will require the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue in
Washington to refund to insurance COM
Danies 81, 500, 900 unlawfully collected
under the corporation tax law.
Incidentally the present income tax
law is involved in the decision. The
question at issue was what constitutes
dividends. and the court holds, with
The lower court, that only in cases
where policyholders receive cash re-
turns from the annual premium paid
n does the term dividend" apply.
In a Montana case taxing premiums
of an insurance company the court
held that the Montana law was valid
and reiterated the principle it had
heretofore announced, that insurance
IS not commerce" and that a State
law taxing insurance premiums is not
therefore a burden on interstate COM
merce.
The court will take a recess after
delivering opinions next Monday. for
the Christmas holidays. and will not
resume until January 5.

it was nothing but hustle and hustle,
in most places, and all the necessary
hullabaloo that makes Christmas the
adorable holiday that il is-but-and
here is where my story comes IN.
On a quiet street. where the better
class Of houses stood, a trifie away
from the shopping district and the
street car lines, a little face was
pressed against the windowpane, and
two large tears stole down over
straight little nose. Other little girls
were joyfully looking forward to this
happy season, but Elizabeth Rockerby
felt sadly at loss and out of place
as she stood in her black velvet and
lace in her grandmother's huge draw
ing-room. She had overheard the par
lor-maid and the upper house-maid,
in a whispered conversation.
The poor darlint,' Nora, the house
maid, had said The poor darlint!
And is it Christmas the little ones
after havin'? Never a bit of it! Don't
ye believe it, On. the poor lamb!

dress"
Think of Cooks Ruby rigged out

she'd stand it for a minute? Not on
your life: Shed be down under the
table pulling the cats tail; and she'd
be teasing her mother for goodies,
when she got tired of that! But this
pale-faced mite, she's passed from one
calculating relative TO another. till
she hasn't got a speck of zzip left
in her Do you know what Ruby'd
do? She'd run awayl" and Ellen
laughed outright at the thought
1t was here that Elizabeth had slip.
ped into the window recess, her pulses
throbbing.
If Cooks little girl could run away
why shouldn't she?
Elizabeth had not known it could
be so cold when one got out into the
night: but the stars had a friendly
twinkle, and the shop-windows looked
so pretty with their tinsel drapings
and red paper bells that she almost
forgot the cold as she went eagerly
from one gay collection of toys to an,
other. an felt the companionship of
children, as she rubbed shoulders with
ragged newsboys and pinched-faced
little girls who gazed quite as eagerly
as she at the Christmas dolls hold
ing outsretched arms to the passers-
by.
Are they-are they to sell?' she
asked timidly, of a little girl who
held her baby sister by the hand and
stamped her feet to keep them warm.
"Sakes alive, yes!" said the other.
In astonishment Amt that one with
the black curls too cute for any
thingl" she added, gazing at it with
wistful eyes.
Gould we go in and-and buy it?"
asked Elizabth earnestly.
Course we could. if we had the
ninety-eight cents.
Come on, them" said Elizabeth,
and, grasping her incredulous compan.
ion by the hand, she plunged into the
store. THE doll with the black
