the money expended for uniforms or arms,
and was not a claim for interest on &C.
count of delay in the payment of sums
due to the state, and hence that these ex-
peDditures for interest did not come
under the general rule, but should have
been allowed by the treasury department
as proper items of expenditure for which
the State was entitled for reimbursement.
The Interpretation of the law as claimed
by the states was sustained by the United
States supreme court. After this decision
was announced the State of Maine and
other states having similar claims took
steps to secure the payment of their va
rious claims by commencing proceedings
in the court OF claims in Washington.
The cases OF Maine, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and New Hampshire were heard by
the court OF claims last December and the
court has now awarded to Maine the sum
OF S134, 5S4.

ADVENTURE WITH A MOOSE.
hh Big Animal Displayed Both Cum
ming and Carefulness.

One day when Henry had gone on a
solitary cruise to look out new trail
somewhere Albert, the cook, went with
me canoeing. We foated quietly along,
and presently | heard the splashing of
some large animal walking slowly
through the slush close to the shore, says
Frederic Irland in Scribner's Magazine.
Watching an opening in the evergreen
growth, l saw the shape of large bull
moose, with his new antlers already
grown a foot or more. l saw he would
come out at the head of little began
not far away.
We padded as far as possible to the
nearest point, and jumping on the ice, l
went ashore with the ever present cam
era. In front of me was little hillock
covered with scattering spruces. From
the top of this the ground fell to an open
barren, but along the waters edge the
growth was thick. The moose was not
in sight, and | stood couple of minutes
watching for him to cross the open in
front, hoping to make a picture.
The snow on the land side of the hill
ock was drifted very deep. The footing
seemed fairly secure, and | walked along
the edge of the drift toward the bushes,
where | knew the moose must be. With
out preliminarieS the snow gave way, and
/ was floundering in the soft mass. Then
it was that, looking over my right shout
der, l beheld at my side the great, mo-
tionless moose, with ears thrown for
ward, nostrils distended and eyes sol
EMMY bullying, black statue of dignifed
curiosity.
Even in my monetary panic l could
not help noticing how cunningly he kept
bush between himself and me. This
habit of the moose is one thing which
makes him so hard to photograph. But
l was chiefly concerned then to get out
of that soft snow. Had the moose
known it he had fine chance to avenge
some of his brothers whom / had slain
in former years. Two jumps would have
put him on me. But he only pulled his
gray muzzle back into the bushes, faced
about and stole away without making
a sound.
took the camera to the canoe and
shook the snow out of the bellows. Then
Albert and l went to look at the tracks,
and we saw that the moose had not
run, but carefully placed each foot where
the walking was best and SO taken him
self away without turmoil.

upon to furnish troops in 1861, it had no
money in the treasury. The enrolling
and equipping Of the ten regiments OF
troops under this arrangement cost more
than 81 900, 600. There was no way in
which the expense could be provided for
except by borrowing the money. A
special session of the legislature was
called in the spring OF 1861, and the issue
of 81 ,OOO, 900 of State bonds was authorized.
These bonds were sold and the State has
paid the interest on the same from time
to time as it has accrued.
When the general government took up
the matter of reimbursing the state, the
that all sums which in any way repre-
scented interest money could not be re-
covered from the general government in
accordance with the rule above referred
to. This rule of the department was
acquiesced in by nearly all OF the states
having claims of this sort. The state OF
New York, however, declined to settle on
that basis, and the matter was kept open
in the treasury department for some years,
and finally when the department ruled
against the state OF New York, a suit was
brought in the court of claims, which
went on appeal to the United States
supreme court.
The claims OF the states had always been
that money which they actually and nee
essarily expended for interest to obtain
the funds required to enroll and equip
the soldiers was an expenditure in behalf
of the government just as truly as was
