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

In Philadelphia police court a num-
Der of years ago there came up an in
teresting question that related to a
nickel.
The coin in question had been offer
ed to street car conductor by a
tough citizen, who, inspired by an al
coholic sense Of humor, inserted it in
the toe Of his boot and proffered it
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 q
bucketful Of pennies in payment Of q
debt to creditor with whom he had q
quarrel; and in most instances the
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 ia amounts
above 25 cents. If you owe me a dol
lar and offer me 100 pennies it is no
payment unless I choose to accept
them.
How about nickels7 Exactly the
same. They are not legal tender in
amounts over 25 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

attempt failed, and the business re-

IAuah Reveals Much.

There is the man who is always smil-
ing, whose whole person radiates az
lection and good cheer. His Is the
frank. open countenance that makes
and keeps friends, for he has the true
spirit OF good-fellowship.
He Is the man whom you enjoy going
to with good news, and Of whose sym
patty you can be sure when you are
in trouble. He Is the friend, always.
that everyone admires. trusts and
likes, just because he has the smile
that spells warmth.
A laugh is little thing, and appar-
emily to Judge man by his laugh
seems like making mountain out Of

way the wind blows" and psycholo-
