LEGAL TENDED. a PUZZLE.
Danker Confesses He Ia Unable to
Deane the Term Exrct,Y.

1anker Confesses He Ia Unable to
Deane the Term Exactly.
"What is legal tender?'
The query came from man who had
become involved In a dispute over an
account. The matter was to be settled
In court and the mans lawyer told him
formally to offer the creditor Lac
amount Dire sin legal tender"
When he went to make the prefer he
began to have doubts of just what legal
tender was and he was half ashamed
TO ask his lawyer. His banker should
know and his banker he asked The
banker thought moment then he
said:
"Now, really that's a technical ques-
ton and haven't the answer right at
the end of my tongue. But just a
minute and I'll get it for you"
He touched an electric buzzer and
boy answered.
'Tell Mr.. Smith to come here" said
the cashier. Then to his visitor: Hell
know, all right Smiths cur right
hand man when 1t comes TO technical
questions Funny, though, that don't
know just what legal tender Is. He
makes change for those who have Gus
toms duties to pay. He'll know all
right"
Smith appeared.
smith. what is legal tenderT asked
the cashier
"Iega tenderv he said. "Why, le
gal tender isis anything but national
bank notes and think
"You think! Good gracious alive,
man, / thought you knew" This from
the cashier. "Look it up and let's both
memorize it"
Smith went to look 1t up. In the
meantime the cashier found among
some books a copy of the national bank
act of 1896.
"Here it u.s." he said. He read a par
agraph which defined legal tender as
follows:
"Gold coin Is legal tender for its
nominal value when not below the limit
of tolerance in weight; when below
that limit it Is legal tender in proper
ton to its weight; standard silver dol
lars and treasury notes Of 1890 are le-
gal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, except where otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract; subsidiary
silver Is legal tender to the extent Of
$40, minor coins to the extent of %
cents and United States notes for all
debts, public and private except duties
on imports and interest on the public
debt
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes are nonIcgal
tender money. Both kinds of certfi-
Gates. however are receivable for all
public dues except duties on imports
and may be paid out for all public dues
except interest on the public debt"
'There you are" said the cashier.
'Tells it all in a nutshell, see?
'No, I guess DON'T" said the anx-
fous inquirer. "I'll just let my lawyer
tender this legal tender for me."-Kan'

Big Mill Is Shattered.

The big press mill was destroyed
first. This was at OILS o'clock. The
shock and defamation were indescriba-
ble The ground shook for miles around
1T is aported that the effect was felt
at distance of 200 miles buildings
rocked as If riding seismic swell.
And then within two minutes the
glazing mill was ruined. The building
burst outward and upward, shooting
timber, metal and glass in all directions
and killing many.
Next, the two coming mills and final
ly, as an unspeakable climax, the mag
azine and cap mill were torn to bits
The magazine was situated about 300
yards from the main buildings of the
plant and did not ignite for over an
hour. Then the flames which were
licking up the debris had so heated the
atmosphere that the magazine respond
ed.
There were 10000 kegs Of blasting
powder stored In the magazine and
every one blew UP seemingly at the
same moment. 1t was this detonation
that shook to pieces the homes and
stores and factories In Fontanet and
which brought death or injury to scores
miles distant

Town In Hopeless Ruin.

Tuesday morning Fontanet was O
prosperous, cozy little town OF 1000
persons. That night it was a hopeless
ruin. Every building, including homes,
stores, offices and factories, was shaken
into pieces. A hand of infinite power
sweeping all before it with demoniac
wrath could not have worked greater
havoc
The dead and more seriously hurt
have Deen removed to other points
most of them to Tere Haute, eighteen
miles distant. At least 800 inhabitants
of Fontanet remain, however. Nearly
all of them bear bloody traces or tine
visitation. They are camping out III
tents hurried there by the Governor,
and must be fed and cared for during
many months to come. The town is
devastated. Yet its people, so far as
possible, seem determined to remain
and make the best of their misfortune.
The explosions at the powder mills
came without warning. What caused
the first one is mystery and may
never be explained.
Once the combustion had started
there was no stopping it and one by
one seven mills were shot into the air
in splinters. Two hundred men were
employed at the works, but luckily only
seventy-five were at their labors when
the first explosion took place.

Death of the Japanese
War Scare Announced.

Washington, D. C.-Despite the at
tempts of a few people to keep life
in the Japanese war scare, it is dead.
In fact, it never was very much alive.
Beyond furnishing employment to
space writer's and acting as a political
issue with which to embarrass the
Ministry in Japan, it seems to have
had no reason for being on earth at
ALL Now it fails to serve even these
poor purposes and so is allowed to
disappear.
The mere fact that San Francisco
asserted her undoubted right to reg
ulate her own school affairs could not
by the widest stretch of imagination
furnish a casus belli-except for the
newspaper and political purposes
aforesaid. Neither could the ire
sponsible acts of few hoodlums who
made more or less hostile demonstra
tions against Asiatics-Chinese and
Japanese alike-as they have done
for years. Trivialities of this sort
are matters for the police, not for
war alarums. And it was thus that
they were regarded by all sensible
people, both in America and Japan.
The annual spring war scare hav-
ing been overworked in Europe, it
was necessarily shifted to the Pacific.
There is not now, and never has
been, any serious danger of war be-
tween America and Japan.

Chinese Rebels
Stay Officials.

Victoria, B. C.-Further advices
regarding the rebellion in South
China received by the steamer Mont
eagle, state that Sun Vat Sen, who
for years has been organizing an anti
dynastic movement in China, left
Toxic for few weeks before the OUT
break, and is reported leading the
revolutionists near Swatow, having
taken the field May % and opened
operations by attacking the walled
city of Kwang Kong, which was cas-
fly captured and all officials were
killed. Kaoping and Lin Ching suf-
fered similar fates. The government
troops on the Island of Manwo were
attacked on May % and defeated, the
revolutionists then marching upon
Cha Chow, which also fell into their
hands, and all of the officials were
promptly killed. Thousands of ref
ugees fed to Swatow, where foreign
warships assembled to protect the
city.
The Jill Shimpo, which prints dis
patches from it's own correspondent
regarding the rebellion, states that
with the we'll equipped and amply
armed troops of modern China the
revolution must be crushed.

SLAIN BY BLACK HAND.
Ransom Refused, Captors Strangle
Eight-Year-Old Child.

New Orleans, Lathe finding of
the body of Walter Lamana, an
eight-year-old Italian boy, who was
kidnapped by the Black Hand two
weeks ago, the confessions of several
of the participants and many arrests
excited this community, and there
were rumors of plans for wreaking
vengeance on the kidnapers, who,
failing in their demand for $4,000,
put to death an innocent child when
the pursuit became too hot for them.
The body was found two miles in
the interior of big swamp near this
city, and was headless. He had been
strangled to death and his neck ap-
parently broken, causing the head to
become separated from the body
when decomposition set in, The
head was found.
Armed deputies guarded the Jail
to prevent the lynching of five Ital-
ian prisoners, some Of whom con-
fessed.
