Strange though It may seem, anchors

attempt failed and the business re-
mained this side of the North sea.

FACTS ABOUT LEGAL TENDER
Points in Law Which Seem TO Show
That Money Can Sometimes
Not Be Money.

In n Philadelphia police court a num-
Der Of years ago there came up an in
terestlng question that related TO a
nickel.
The coin In question had been offer
ed TO a street car conductor by a
tough citizen, who, inspired by an al
cohollc sense of humor, inserted 1t in
the toe OF his boot and proffered II
thus.
A row ensued, which wound up In
court, where the conductor was vindl-
Gated, the judge declaring that he was
under no obligation to accept money
offered in such fashion.
What constitutes a lawful "tender"
of money is question that occupies
many pages in the law books, an ex-
change remarks.
A man has been known TO offer a
bucketful of pennies In payment of a
debt TO n creditor with whom he had a
Hu"tiNi anu III hOSl iuclduNtS lHt
creditor has felt obliged to accept the
coin.
But there was no such obligation, for
pennies under the law Of the United
States are not legal tender in amounts
above 20 cents. If you owe me dol
lar and offer me 100 pennies 1t is no
payment unless / choose to accept
them.
How about nickels? Exactly the
same. They are not legal tender in
amounts over % cents.
Silver dimes, quarters and half dol
lars are legal tender up to $40, Above
that sum they may be refused and the
creditor may justly claim that no law
full proffer of money has been made to
him.
