ALlMoNY PAID IN PENNIES.
Trick Sometimes Resorted to In Order
to Cause Creditor Trouble.

AS rule nobody will refuse any
kind of good money in payment of a
debt. though there are some kinds
more convenient than others. Pen"
MES are legal tender, but it would
take a quart of them to pay bill Of
any considerable size. 1t sometimes
happens that just to be disobliging
and to cause the creditor inconveni-
ence the debtor pays in pennies
Such case happened in Flatbush,
L. l., the other day, where "a husband
had been directed by the court to pay
four dollars a week for the support OF
his wife and to pay it to the clerk of
the court In order to make both as.
much trouble as possible he brought
in the four dollars in pennies and
they were accepted, though as a mat.
ter of fact pennies are not legal ten
der to that amount. The minor coins
of the United States are determined
by statute to be "a fivecent piece" A
United States statute says; The
minor coins of the United States,
shall be of legal tender at their nomi-
nal value for any amount not exceed
ing % cents in any one payment"
The creditor can take them by the
carload If he wishes, but refusing to.
take them in sums over 20 cents at a,
time will not enable the creditor to-
set up the claim of tender, nor will
it invalidate the creditors right to,
collect. These tactics are seldom re-
sorted to and only to create incon-
venience. The United States statutes
are not much studied by laymen, and
so this point 10 not generally under.
stood. OF The minor coins only the
five-cent piece. or nickel, as It is com.
monty called, and the penny, are in
any considerable circulation. The
three-cent piece has gone out OF use,
is seldom seen and is not much
missed. 1t has gone the way of the,
two-cent piece and the copper penny.

HE STANDS FIRM.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DOES
NOT REcEDE FROM HIS
PoSlTIoN.
RElTERATEs HIS BELIEF THAT
GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
RAILROADS is NEEDED.

Washington, d. c. - Instead OF
backing down from his position to.
wards the railroads and laying away
the big stick" to gather dust in an
attic corner President Roosevelt will
stand firm and continue to swing the
club for a square deal. His position
is clearly set forth in letter sent to
President Smith, of the Illinois Manu-.
facturers' association, in which the
president, while declining the associ.
atoms invitation to speak in Spring.
field, ILL.,, on the railway situation, at
the same time reiterates his belief
that government control of railroads
is needed as much as ever
Referring to his messages to con.
gress and to speeches at Raleigh, N.
c., October 10, 1905, and to delega.
ton of railway employees here, No.
vember IA, 1905, inclosed in his letter.
the president writes to Mr.. Smith:
II am more than ever convinced
that the policies l recommended in
my speeches and messages to con,
gress are wise and must be carried
out What has occurred since l wrote
the two messages strikingly illus,
trates the desirability of the course
mapped out. Present laws are defec.
tive and need amendment. Effort to
wipe out all restraint os competition,
whether good or bad, is unwise. For
instance, the rebate evil was brought
about largely by the domination OF
some big shipper such as the Stand.
ard Oil Co. II railways had the right
to combine against rate discrimina-
tions, we would see the end of one
great evil.
What we need is a national COM
mission with ample power to forbid
competition hurtful to one individual
or to the public and in case it finds
such discrimination to fix a maximum
rate to be effective at once and until
reversed by the courts. This is not a
revolutionary proposal; it is merely
the same power exercised over the
railways as the government now exer-
cises over national BANKS
What we need is a real, not a
sham control, for the American people
abhor a sham"

SHOT AT BUNNY; HIT A BEAR.
Hunter Has to Fight for His Life with
Bruin.

When John Potter of Sullivan coun-.
ty went rabbit hunting yesterday het
put three shells charged with buckS
shot into his belt in anticipation of
meeting a fox, says the Port Jervis,
IN. " correspondent of the New
York World. 1t was to this foresight.
that he owed his life. At the edge of
n swamp the hunter sighted a rabbit.
Bunny was brought down with a load.
of birdshot, but the fine shot scattered
and the rabbit fell. Potter heard a.
terrific roar from clump of bushes.
Several of the small shot had
struck huge bear in the nose and he,
plunged from the underground, the.
maddest animal that ever poked his
head out of a swamp. Potter was so.
completely taken by surprise that he
had no time to run when the bear
charged. He sprang to one side and.
escaped a blow from the beasts paw.
but second blow struck him in the.
leg, ripping his felt boot from top to-
sole and tearing the flesh.
Unmindful of the pain Potter bolteh
for open country with the bear at
his heels. He encountered rail-
fence and vaulted over it, but in doing.
so he dislocated his left wrist and
fell. In desperation he showed one of
the buckshot cartridges into his gun
and as the bear was clambering over
the fence after him he fired the full
charge into the bears head. The bear
fell dead within two feet of Potter.
The hunter walked five miles to have.
his injuries dressed by physician.

however, that when funds are once
placed in the treasury there is no way
