FACTS ABOUT LEGAL TENDER
Points in Law Which Seem to Shew
That Money Can Sometimes
Not Be Money.
L“ s Philadelphia police court a num
1 i r of years ago there came up an In
teresting question that related to u
nickel.
The coin In question hnd been offer
| ed to a street car conductor by a
i tough citizen, who, inspired by an a!
| coholle sense of humor, inserted it in
j the toe of his boot and proffered it
; thus.
A row ensued, which wound up in
court, where the conductor was vindi
cated. thi? judge declaring that he was
under no obligation to accept money
offered in sucli fashion.
What constitutes a lawful “tender"
of money is a question that occupies
many pages in the law hooks, an ex
change remarks.
A man has been known to offer a
bucketful of pennies in payment of a
debt to n creditor with whom he had a
quarrel; and in most instances the
creditor Ims felt obliged to nceept the
coin
Hut there was no such obligation, for
pennies under the law of the United
States are not legal tender in amounts
above 25 cents. If you owe tpe a dol
lar and offer me 100 pennies it is no
payment unless 1 choose to accept
them.
How nbout nickels? Exactly the
same. They are not legal tender In
amounts over 25 cents.
Silver dimes, quarters and half dol
lars are legal tender tip to $10. Above
that sum they may be refused and the
creditor may justly claim that no law
ful proffer of money lias been made to
him.
HANDLE SMEEP WITH PROFIT
Good Drainage, Pasture, Seme Shelter
and an Interested Attendant
Are Important.
—
The requirements of a farm where
sheep ran he handled wl n profit are
good drainnge, plenty of fresh pas
ture, land that will produce clover, al
falfa, cowpeas, or soy beans; a good
water supply, fences that will keep
sheep out of growing crops and fur
nish two or three fields fur frequent
i change of pasture, a shelter that will
: protect the thick from cold rains, winds
and storms, and an attendant who can
give the flock Interested and intelli
gent care.
Almost Any Excuse Goes.
We break many a promise to our
selves with excuses so weak that we
would be ashamed to offer them to
another.

SOLDIERS LIKED THE PRINCE
Heir to British Throne Fond of Min
gling With the Fighters, When
He Was Perm tied.
In the front lines n Canadian soldier
was building u fire one cold night of
late autumn. Out of tiie night behind
him came a footstep. He turned, and
became doubly alert when he saw that
the man was not an ofjicer of his regi
ment. The visitor approached the
blaze, held his hands out over it and
said:
“This tire certainly looks good to
me.”
The tone was pleasant enough, and
suspicion was almost unaitned when
the voice went on:
“Have you wood enough? If you
haven’t I’ll get you some more.”
The fire builder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained, hut
there had been a special warning
against strangers not of one’s own
regiment. In response to it he was
about to question the newcomer close
ly, when an officer whom he did know
came within the firelit circle and ad
dressed the stranger:
“Your royal highness, It is best tlint
you return to the automobile at once.”
And the prince of Wales reluctantly
left the tire and returned to the place
where he officially belonged. It was
not the first time he had left that place
of Ids own accord and gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
tells the story learned afterward that
the prince's staff had its hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
and mingling with the men on their
own ground.
MUST HAVE ENVIED COMRADES
Pathetic Happening in tnglish Court
That Marked the Observance
of Armistice Day.
The great clocks of London boomed
out eleven strokes. The city became
as silent as though It were a second
Pompeii miraculously swept clean o"
Its ashes. Motor cars and tram cars
creaked to sudden stops. Policemen
stood like graven blue Images at their
posts. Pedestrians doffed their huts
and stood as though they had not
tnown motion for centuries. It was
Armistice day and the city was doing
honor to those youths who had expe
rienced the Great Adventure.
In a dingy courtroom a murder trial
came to a sudden halt. Judge, counsel,
witnesses and the prisoner stood, and
for two minutes, with bowed head, did
silent reverence to those poppy
wreathed graves of France. Before the
prisoner flickered visions of that same
France only one year before. lie again
saw the faces of comrades he had loved
and whom he had watched in the throes
of death. Incidents of that last des
perate sprint across No Man’s Land,
with death on every side, came back to
him. Again he heard the shout with
which the trenches had greeted the
armistice. He had come safely through,
and now—
The two minutes ended. The city
came out of its trance. The somber
voice of the judge resumed—“and shall
hang by the neck until dead.”
Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels.
Experiments In the use of poison gas
In exterminating grain-eating ground
squirrels nre under way, according to a
report of the county horticultural com
mission to the Los Angeles board of
supervisors.
At (he same time it was announced
that Los Angeles county has sold Its
surplus stock of saccharine and strych
nine to Orange county In order that
the neighboring county can join in the
campaign being waged against the de
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commis
sioner Ryan, the use of poison gas is
necessary at this time because the
squirrels, which have been practically
eliminated from the worst affected re
gions in the county by the use of poi
sons during the past few months, fail
to eat the poison at this time, pre
ferring the new vegetable growth.
Bird Preserve Planned.
The proposal to establish an exten
sive wild-binl preserve on the north
ern shore of Lake Erie Is paining wide
favor In Canada. Something must he
done at once, it. is urged by bird lov
ers, to preserve the wild fowl and in
sectivorous birds, or they will be
come as extinct as the wild pigeon.
There are strict game regulations In
the province, but the establishment of
a large preserve would assist the leg
islation. There is already a nucleus
of the proposed area in Rondeau park,
and it is planned to extend this along
the Inke shore west for 30 miles.
London Cats Victims of Plague.
The outbreak of a disease, which
has many symptoms to Influenza, Is
causing the death of cats by the hun
dred in London.
The disease Is not thought to he
communicable to human beings, hut
distinguished surgeons are unable to
confirm the exact nature. It spread*
with amazing rapidity, and the symp
toms are said to resemble closely that
of poisoning, except that death usu*
ally takes place within two days.
Plan Memorial for Pee.
Taking ns Its inspiration a sugges
tlon of Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish
novelist, the Bronx Society of Art and
Science has decided to erect a memo
