The host had \ concocted some seductive cocktails and she had just joined the others in drinking to his health. Before the dinner was over she was experiencing that much-talked-of wobbly feeling that is said to follow a cocKiau. While coffee was being served in the drawing room the three-monthsold son of the family was brought into the room and the young guest insisted on holding him. '*1 am surprised that he is so contented in your lap," her hostess told ^ her. "He doesn't usually care for strangers." "Well von mav not know it." was the reply, "but he is being rocked." Knew How To I>o It. "My husband," remarked a Philadelphia matron to a group of friends, "was a confirmed smoker with a tobacco heart when 1 married him a year ago. but today he never touches the weed." "Good!" said one of the group. "To break off a lifetime habit requires a strong will." "Will, that's what I've got." said the wife. STATE BONDS OF NO VALUE. New Hampshire Drops Suit Against South Carolina. Exhaustive investigation by the attorney general of New Hampshire has satisfied that officer that 30 of the $1,000 bonds Tksued by the State of South Carolina in 1869 are of "no present value." He has therefore decided not to bring suit against the State of South Carolina for collection on the bonds. The decision was reached by the attorney general, who was in Columbia in 1913 and was given by Attorney General Peeples a "complete compilation of all of the statutes of his State relating to bond issues and also the decisions of South Carolina supreme court on the same subject." The bonds in question came into the possession of the State of New Hampshire in 1892 as a part of the estate of Benjamin Thompson, of Durham, under the provisions of his will relating to the establishing of the New Hampshire college in that town. At that time they were entered on the books of the State treas urer as 01 uu picacai *cnu^ the same entry is equally and aptly applicable at the present time. No fact has been discovered which indicates any future change of value," says James P. Tuttle. present attorney general of New Hampshire. Discussing the bonds Mr. Tuttle writes in his annual report: "There had been numerous acts of legislation in the State of South Carolina in regard to bond issues during the Reconstruction period.' There had also been several decisions of its supreme court in regard to these bond acts and bond issues thereunder. On this visit to Columbia the attorneygeneral of New Hampshire met the attorney general of South Carolina, the State treasurer and the governor. Every possible courtesy was extend- , ed by them, but no encouragement was given that the bonds would ever be paid. The claim was made that the bonds were founded upon carpetbagger legislation and methods and were in consequence illegal and void. The bonds carry on their face some evidence of this, for each bond is dated January l, 1869, and purports to be authorized by an act of; March 23. 1869. The constitution of South Carolina at that time required that any act of the legislature authorizing an issue of bonds should specifically state for what purpose the funds raised by the bond issue were to be used or applied. The act in question did not comply with this requirement. . .A Somewhat exhaustive study of these statutes and decisions and the related decisions of the United States supreme court made it quite plain that a recovery upon the bonds could not be made(\ unless it could be proven that the State of South Carolina actually received the money from the sale of these particular bonds."
