Eaton 1000 Threatened to Get Another Witness. “While in New York this week on a business trip." said a well-known Atlanta man. "I ran across an Inci dent that was rather amusing. “A man who was apparently a lawyer was talking earnestly with a man at his side in an elevator in a downtown building In which there are many law offices. I heard the lawyer say: “'Remember, court opens at 10:30 o'clock. I want you to be In my offb e at 8 o’clock, and If you are not there I’ll get another witness.’ ’’ The Requisites Of a Song Hit. "Fortunes in song writing." says an advertisement now appearing in magazines throughout the country, and many are lured by it. But those who have tried know the disappoint ments of the song writer striving to induce a publisher to look at his work. For those who would try here is a tip from one who has made good: “If your song is to make a hit. the air must be hard to remember, though catchy and pleasing. If it can be whistled by anyone who hears it once or twice, it will not sell, and the publisher will reject It.” His Excuse Was An Excellent One. ♦ "I was visiting a friend In New York not long ago,” said a promi nent real estate man, "and he took me around a good deal. He Is a lawyer and frequently we visited the courts together. "One day a man who had been summoned for jury duty in the Su preme Court went up to the clerk before the names of the talesmen were called and told why he thought he ought to be excused. When the judge, mounted the bench the cleijk said: "•Your Honor, Mr doesn’t think he ought to do jury duty on account of his business.’ ‘“What’s his business?’ asked the court, gruffly. “ 'He's a faro hank dealer,’ said the clerk. " ‘Excused,’ said the court." Trade Board 2Cf Years Old. COLUMBUS.—The Columbus Board of Trade is twenty years old, its first charter having just expired.
