Things Were Moving.
A young lady was dining with some
friends at their home, says the New
York Evening Post. 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."

Small savings have been in many instances
the means of making the first

The fact that you have a Bank account
brings about a confidence which
results in better terms of purchase than
you could make if you did not save. It
