Game of Bluff.

"If the rates are changed" Mr.. Full
ton said, cit will be because the COM
pany is successful in a game Of bluff
They have no legal right to ask discon-
tinuance of the present service.
The rates here are the most abso-
lutely unreasonable anywhere, and espec-
tally in a city Of this size. The public
should be protected"
The difficulty between the telephone
subscribers and the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, Is that the
company is refusing to renew contracts
under the old rates-the flat rate by
which a merchant paid a certain sum
each year for unlimited service.
The telephone company has been trying
to substitute a service rate. In view
of the decision of the Puclic Utilities
Commission. which declared that the un-
limited telephone service rates now held
by about a hundred firms Is a discrimina-
ton and violation Of the law which
would subject both the corporation and
the subscribers to a fine; the business
men who now enjoy the rate will fight
to prevent the establishment Of new
rates until a valuation has been made
of public utilities.
The company always has wanted to
substitute a service rate. The members
Cf the ASSOCIATION organized yesterday
say that they have no way to check up
the charges of the company. and that
from their figures Of the number Of calls
made they would have to pay unreason-
able prices for hardly reasonable service.
CheckinE Machines Refused.
It was claimed that a request that
checking machines be installed with each
phone 20 that the subscriber could record
complete calls, was refused, despite the
fact that some cities have the machines.

HOW SPOT TOOK HIS OWN PICTURE

 Once upon a time there was a dog, to a boy whose name was Frank Spot and Frank had 8 great many nice times togethers and Frank was very fond Of Spot
 Frank was given a camera for his birthday, and when he received it he shouted; ssT4urrahHurrah, now can take Spot picture and send 1t to him the dog when 1t was a little puy- pys and Frank wanted his uncle to see how biz Spot had grown and what good care he had had.
 Frank got his camera ready and took Spot out in the yard. fixed him away to take the picture. He turned around and there was Spot right be- kind wagging his tail. Again Frank got the dog all ready and again the dog followed Frank. Spot seemed to think it was some new game Frank wss playing and jumped around and around barking and wagging his tail in great delight.
 At last Frank grew a, little cross with Spot and spoke very cross and told him to lie down. Spot put his head between his paws and looked quite sober and Frank pressed the bulb quickly.
 It made little puff and Spot jump ed as though he had been shot and ran as fast as he could for the house and under the bed and it was a long time before Frank could coax him to come out. Spot then went into the yard and walked up to the camera, which Frank had left on the grass when he ran after Spot He sniffed at it and walked very carefully around to see if he could make out what it was. -
 Frank called. Spot. Spot. and Spot lifted up his head and started to walk toward Frank. As he did he stepped on the bulb and snap went the
