What is Legal
=: Tender? 3:
What is legal tender?"

What is legal tender?"
The query came from a man who
had become involved in a dispute over
an account. The matter was to be set
tied in court, and the mans lawyer
told him formally to offer the creditor
the amount due "in 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 thought
a moment, then he said:
Now, really, that's a technical ques-
ton, and l haven't the answer right at
the end of my tongue. But just min
ute 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: He'll
know, all right. Smiths our right
hand man when it 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 tender?" asked
the cashier.
Legal tender!" he said. "Why, le-
gal tender isis anything but national
bank notes, and l 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 it up. In the
meantime the cashier found among
some books the national bank act of
1896.
Here it is" he said. He read para
graph which defined legal tender as
follows:
Cold coin is legal tender for it's
nominal value when not below the lin
it 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 25
cents; and United States notes for all
debts, public and private, except du-
ties on imports and interest on the
public debt. Gold certificates, silver
certificates and national bank notes
are non-legal tender money. Both
kinds of certificates, however, are re-
ceivable for all public dues except du-
ties 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 nutshell. See?"
mo, guess l DON'T" said the anx-
ious inquirer "I'll just let my lawyer
tender this legal tender for me-"

RELIC OF EARLY STEAMBOAT DAYS
ON RED RIVER OF THE NORTH
Old Menu Card Of Nov 1882 Dug Up Bringing Memories
Of Early Day Packets-Capt. r. E. Maloney
Rugged Character.

While rummaging among the effects
Of the late Captain H. e. Maloney, one
of the men to whom the northwest Is
indebted for enduring the llardships
entailed in putting her where she is
at the present date, the wife, Mrs. H.
E. Maloney, proprietor of the ingalls,
house in this city, brought to light
souvenir menu of farewell dinner

Garry (now Winnipeg).
The steamer Cheyenne was one of
the line of packet boats belonging to

Capt. MalOney was at the head of af-
fairs on the steamer for years. The
farewell dinner mentioned above was
given on the night of Nov. 6, 1882, at
Winnipeg, twenty-four hours before
the scattering of the crew which had
labored together for months.
Officers Of Boat.
The officers of the boat, as shown on
the menu card, were H. E. Ma7oney,
captain; D. J. Dick, clerk; w. Greiggs,
piolt; H. McFadden, assistant piolt;
w. Edwards, mate; George Pichette,
second mate; George Lumsen, engi-
neer; J. King, engineer; H. IaScelle,
steward.
Several years previous to this, or
about 1878, James Elton, now promi-
nent citizen OF Grand Forks, was clerk
on the same steamer, and several other
prominent local men will recall hav-
ing "hiked" freight, bundled coal or
made use of certain vocal energies at
various times on the Cheyenne.

Red River OF the North, was a big
sister to the Pluck. Both boats sub
sequently went to pieces, though only
after years of hard knocking and
freighting on the water. The Chey-
enne foundered at or near the town of
Pembina.
Cheyenne Foundered.
The Cheyenne and other boats on the
river about the 1873 period of history
were built primarily for the carrying
on OF communication between Fargo
and Winnipeg, but about the year 1880
thehse boats were used between the
Village of Fisher (then Fishers land
ing), on the Red Lake river, and Win
nipeg. This change was made because
of the encroaches of the Great North
ern, which had now been built as far
as Fargo and in this section as far as
Fishers landing. Later the boats were
used only between Grand Forks and
Winnipeg, and Pembina and Winni-
peg.
Capt. H. E. Maloney, who was at the
head OF things for years on the Chey-
enne, was one of the principal figures
of pioneer days.

A surprise party was given to ..
P. Dyrud on Saturday evening last
by number of his neighbors, mostly
young people. AS they entered
somewhat late and Mr.. Dyrud was
about to retire for the night, it was
even more OF a surprise, not expect
ing anybody at such an hour. A set
of six chairs was presented to Mr..
Dyrud whereupon the kind ladies OF
the party set about and prepared an
elegant supper. Afterwards various
games were played and a pleasant
social time was had until four O'Clock
in the morning, when everybody again
left for their homes.

Where CannibaIs Abound,

Cannibalism exists, in spite of the
dictum of the report of the inquiry
commission. Dr.. Hinde has told that
after one particularly murderous bat
tie, in which the fierce Botetela tribe
of Congolese negroes had been used
against the Arabs, every member of
these cannibal allies had at least one
body to eat.
All the meat was cooked and
smoke-dried, and formed provisions
for the whole of the force and for all
the camp followers for many days
afterward." Dr.. Hinde presents a
somewhat novel point of view: Dur
ing the war in which We were now en-
gagged for two years, we reaped, per-
haps, the only advantage that could
be claimed for this disgusting custom.
In the night following a battle or the
storming of town these human
wolves disposed of all the dead, leav-
ing nothing even for the jackals, and
thus saved us, no doubt, from many

HAD A PAYING BUSINESS.
Street Sweeping Not Altogether a
Bid for Charity.

A merchant in a Scotch city used
to give an old crossing sweeper six
pence every Saturday. One day he
discovered he had given him half a
sovereign by mistake. So he hurried
back to the crossing The sweeper
said in reply to question: Twill
you come, sir, after four o'clock to
this address, and I will see if you
are right about the coin"
The merchant did so, and found a
small office and two clerks busy at
work. Presently the sweeper ap-
peared, but oh, so altered. He was
dressed neatly and looked a business
man.
"Oh, yes" he said to the aston
ished merchant, you were correct.
Our receipts to-day were about ten
shillings more than usual, so here is
your half sovereign" AS the mer-
chant left the office, vowing he would
never give to the rogue again, the
sweeper called after him: you've
forgotten your usual sixpence, SIR
