NICETlES OF LEGAL TENDER
Somewhat Perplexine Question Which
Very Few Seem to Properly
Understand.

One Of the prominent officials Of the
treasury department recently ven
tured the opinion that not one banker
in a hundred and probably not half
q dozen members of the senate or
house could tell accurately what parts
of the United States currency are le-
gal tender. He went on to say:
"a great many people know that
the definition of legal tender is money
of character which by law a debtor
may require his creditor to receive in
payment in the absence of a special
agreement. But when it comes 70
stating just what money is legal ten
der you will find the banker all at sea.
Gold certificates are not a legal
tender, but are receivable for customs,
taxes and all public debts. Silver GER
tificates are not legal tender. Neither
are national bank notes. They are re-
ceivable, however, in payment of
taxes, excuses, public lands and all
other dues TO the United States, ex-
cept duties on imports. Trade dollars
anu lIdCllOudl ClaIIShNg dlt hON iNSdi
tender Fractional currency is re-
receivable for postage and revenue
stamps and also in payment of any
dues to the United States less than
five dollars, except duties on imports.
Foreign gold and silver coins are not
legal tender.
THE following are legal tender in
all that the term means:
Gold coins of the United States,
standard silver dollars. subsidiary sill.
yer coins, minor coin of copper,
bronze or copper-nickel, up TO 20
cents; United States notes or green
backs, demand treasury notes, treas.
ury notes of 1890. Columbian half
dollar and Columbian quarters. Sub
sidiary silver coin. including Column
bian half dollars and quarters, are
legal tender up to $40"

Question, However, Whether They VIII
Enter Duluth Bonspiel

In speaking OF the annual bonspiel
of the Northwestern Curling associa-
ton to be held in Duluth on Jan. II,
the Duluth News Tribune says:
Sault Ste. Marie and Hancock and
Calumet i'm the copper country may
be represented. although no definite
information has come from these
towns. Judge David Armit probably
will skip a rink from Calumet and
Alex. Stevenson from Hancock.
Winnipeg is expected To send from
five To ten Kinks and st. Paul and Min
neapolis probably will send four or
five each. An endeavor is being made
this winter To attract large repre-
sentation from the smaller towns in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and special
prizes will be hung up that viii make
II an inducement for these cities to
send as many Kinks as possible. The
Ordway trophy will be competed for
again this year by Minnesota cities
outside of st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Duluth, and the local club will put up
several additional trophies i'm this
event. About $1,000 in money will be
raised by the local curriers' which will
be used for the entertainment of the
visitors and for the club prizes that
will be sawarded. Nearly all of this
amount has already been subscribed.
whether the copper country curriers'
will be represented, is question. how
ever. If sufficient interest can be
aroused II is possible that one rink
may be sent to Duluth. but u is not
likely that two Kinks, one from Calu-
met and one from Hancock, will go.
