Jan. i next the state OF Massachu

each operators or chauffeur's license,
$40 for. registering a motor cycle and
$16 to $25 for automobiles according
to horsepower. These fees do not
take the place Of ordinary taxation,
and their revenue is applied to road
making. Nonresident automobiIists
have ten day of courtesy privilege;
summer people get special rates.
The question of speed is settled by
requiring automobiles to be driven

The birds have slipped US a goodby
And to the south are fieeting
To find a warmer place to sleep
And more abundant eating,
And for the winters travelling
Their broods have been collected,
And some day we may Join them there
When flying is perfected.
On airy wings they rise and fit
To places more inviting.
A summer climate suits them best.
Though maybe not exciting.
We watch them as they fly away.
And. though we feel forsaken.
We say, Some day Wen Join you there
If Wrights are not mistaken"
Oh. that will be a glorious day
When we can rise ana fiutter

That IL will melt the butter.

UNITED STATES MONEY
There Are Ten Kinds on Uncle Sans

There Are Ten Kinds on Uncle Sans
Official List.
Officially there are just ten kinds OF
money in circulation in the United
States. Could you name them all off
hand? Do you know which of those
besides gold coin are legal tender and
in what amount? 1t may be that ''all
money looks alike to you." but there's
a difference. and below is the list:
Gold coins, standard silver dollars,
subsidiary silver. gold certificates, sill
yer certificates, treasury notes QS90).
United States notes (greenbacksJ. ma
tional bank notes, Dickel coins and
bronze coins.
Looking upon this formidable CLASH
f1eation of United States money as
made by the treasury department, it
becomes more formidable when 1t Is
considered from the highly technical
point Of view as a legal tender. Some
Of the most imposing Of the paper cur
rency is not legal tender at all, while,
as to the minor coins. they are legal
tender in such small amounts as to
startle the average layman. It may be
well to recall to this layman that the
term legal tender" owes its siguifi-
canoe to the fact that in payment of
debt or obligation of any kind it can
be forced upon the creditor Sin full Of
all demands"
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which
such enormous numbers circulate
everywhere, are not legal tender. If
you have plenty Of money and if you
have forced Jones TO sue you IN order
to get judgment, Jones can turn down
every one Of these bills rendered in
payment and force you to dig up some
thing better.
Should Jones do such a thing you
might conceive the idea OF fixing him
by unloading whole lot OF silver coins
upon him. But you want to know
what you're doing there. too. for he'll
take only SO worth OF halves, quarters
and dimes. while of nickels and COP
per cents only Is cents value is legal
tender.
But as to the standard silver dollar,

By all accounts the robber barons of
