NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Non-delivery of
100000 promised kisses may have
caused Miss Mary Lillian Phipps,
wealthy daughter of George n. Phipps,
one Of the inventors of the typewriter,
to sue William Russell Smith, million
aire Sunday school teacher, for $4,000.
She compromised the breach of promise
suit for So ,627, after the letter guarantee
ing her 1900, 600 osculatory demonstra-
tions had been entered as proof of her
claims.
Swift beautiful and passionate was
the wooing Of Smith, according to Miss
Phipps AS sparkling gems, quotations
from the less "sanppy" passages OF Bal

Miss Phipps produced.

show, by these biological phenomena to
prove that the world must indeed be

Before Smith settled down to the
profitable pastime of helping railways to
their financial feet and giving the young
spiritual legs at his Tenahy Sunday
school classes, he was a bit naughty, not

which he makes these assessments is
very clearly defined in the acts Of 1919
under the title Of taxation.
Briefly, the township assessor calls on
each and every person residing in his
township, either in person or by deputy,
and makes a list Of all land and prop
erty owned by any such person. These
calls are made during the months of
March and April, and on or before the
first Monday in June of each year the
township assessor makes out and de-
livers to the county auditor a return Of
properties he has listed for taxation.
The county board of review, which Is
composed Of the county assessor, county
auditor, county treasurer and two free
holders Of opposite political parties, con-
venes on the first Monday of June Of
each year to equalize the assessments
made by the various township assessors
of the county.
What percentage Of return should
an apartment house bring to the
owner at the present time? D. A. n.
This Is a hard question to answer. 1t
all depends upon the condition of the
apartment and the kind Of an apartment
it is. If it is a high-class apartment
Of very good construction the return
should be 10 peg cent in order to pay
out at the end Of the life Of building and
pay Is per cent on the investment.
If 1t was just a small apartment and
an ordinary building 1t should pay IA
per cent over and above running ex-
penses.

"Woman's Honor" treated satirically
mans readiness to assume the role Of
martyr for a woman. The comedy
''Moonshine" was a clever bit Of dialogue,

Robert z. Tracy. Director George
Somnes gave an able presentation in
"Bushido," Mrs. Margaret Beazley, James

Globe Mining Company, which is popu-
larIy referred to at the courthouse as
"Gov. Goodrich'5 coal company" for

The court admits that he>is rather

This is the most perculiar coinci-
denee that have ever SEEN" said Judge
Clifford today. "And now 1 hear that
one Of the attorneys is-very ILL.,"
The court shtvered and so did the re-
porter.
The case was fled during the October
term of 1917, and the Oak Ridge Coal
Company alleges the Globe, Mining Com
panv owes It's Golfers $23,69911 for the
use OF machines used in strip coal min
ing, for materials, wages and the like.

swer, alleges that 1.-THE account" has
been satisfied In "full", and asks dam
ages against the Oak Ridge Coal Com
pany.
The plaintiff company alleges that the

gave a real estate agent that
deals in west side property the au-
thority to sell a house for me. He
did not sell it. but incidently men
toned 1t to another agent. Several
months passed and the second agent
secured a buyer. Several months
again elapsed and then the first agent
made a claim on me for a commits
sion, saying that he was responsible
for the sale being made. Is he en-
titled to a commission? II. P. L.
An agent must have a written option,
signed by you, IN which you agree that
he shall sell your property for a GER
tain price, etc, etc, and that a certain
agents commission shall be paid etc,
in order to have a legal right and a
legal power to collect said commission.
OF course, the second agent actually sold
the property, and your conveyance Oh
the property and the payment to him
Of his commission was ratification o.
the authority invested in him. and is
irrevocable. The first agent, therefore,
not having a written agreement with
~Ou, and not having contaminated the
deal himself with your recognition OF
him in said deal, is not entitled to thu
commission.
