The Defunct Children’s Endowment and Its Liabilities
The Pioneer Press discusses the Childrens Endowment Society as a concern with Brainerd and Crow Wing county readers invested. Claims say potential recoveries are 8 to 10 cents on the dollar, with little prospect of value on certificates. A suggested plan to close and apportion payments would yield about 45 percent if assets remain sound, though staged by held shares. Total liabilities reach about 1.702 million, with assets possibly paying 6 to 8 cents per dollar after expenses.

Traits From a Stepfather Spark Telegony Discussion
A Wiltshire parish tale describes an old woman whose first child had bright red hair and, after she remarried, a second child with identical curly red hair appears in the new family.

The note may reflect linguistic debate on language breadth, noting English has about 250000 words versus 70000 more than other major languages.
