MUST PAY FOR PAPER

During the last term of the Circuit
Court at Atchinson county, Mo-, the
case of H. F. Staple VS.. Charles Traub
a long standing account, and among
other items was sixteen years sub
scription for the Atchison County
Mail. Mr.. Traub refused to pay for
the Mail, claiming he did not take the
paper, and that he refused to take the
paper from the post Office and mail
box number of times. The plain
tiff proved by postmasters and others
that Mr.. Traub did take the paper
during all the sixteen years In the
case it was shown that, according to
law, even if a subscriber does occa-
sionally order a newspaper discon-
tinued or refuse to accept it, he can
not get out of paying for what he
owes the paper, and the subscriber
must pay the arrearage before stop
ping the paper.
The jury in this case was out only
a short time and brought in ver-
dict for the entire account, including
the subscription for the Mail--siXteen
years at $3.50 a year, or S24. The
costs in the justice court and the
Circuit Court amounted to about
$100, besides the attorneys fees.
A similar case has been decided by
the Court of Appeals, and it was held
in that case that any one taking a
newspaper must pay for it as long
as he takes it from the post Office
Exchange.

BY Jeremy Lane. The Century com
pany, publishers, New York city.
Read yellow Men Sleep and your
nerves Jingle as if you had been rae
ing all night in an airplane. Read
yellow Men Sleep" and you are haunt
ed with impressions of scenes and sit
nations that seem to touch into life
alluring memories a thousand years
old.
1t is an extraordinary story some
thing new and exhilarating; oriental,
exotic fascinating.
Much of the novels action is in the
desert of Cobb, and the plot reaches
across China and has ramifications cX-
tending back to the United States 1t
involves United States secret service
men and an inaccessible empire in the
midst OF the desert an empire m4de up
of selected specimens of almosT every
race on earth. The story }centers
around a beautiful American girl held
=. in the strange empire by trickery ana
craft, and the efforts to rescue her
from her captors and from herself.
Threaded through the novel is SUBJ
plot dealing with the production and
international sale of a mysterious drug
made from seed dug out of the earth
in which they had been buried for
centuries.
s'Yellow Men Sleep is thriller, but
not thriller Of conventional type. 1t
is romance, but not the romance of
stereotyped plot and style 1t is an
amazing achievement that the reaoer
will not soon forget.
