At home Jimmy's parents thought him quite a normal boy, with an unusually large fund of questions ever at the back of his nimble tongue. Breakfast went slowly for Jimmy that morning when once he had finished and sat waiting for his parents. Mr. Hill was scanning the back page of the paper in deep concentration. Again the big black letters stared out at Jimmy. "The war will be won in the air."
The society has no debt, and has a considerable fund at interest. They lose very few of their young people. Some who leave them return after a few years in the world.

In this argument he illustrates the reasons for preserving the principal of the fund unimpaired, and confining all expenditures from it to the annual interest; also those which preclude any portion of it to be applied to any institution for education; showing, from the peculiar expressions of the testator, that it could not have been his intention that the fund should be applied in this manner.
Why is it that a search of its columns reveals no mention of the revelations concerning Mr. Baxter not even any mention of the $400,000 slush fund of its paragon, of transportation virtues?

Professor Williams served the University long and faithfully, and only resigned his active work in 1875. In 1876 the alumni established a Williams Professorship Fund which eventually amounted to nearly $30,000. This eased his last years until his death in 1881 at the age of 79 years.
Readjustments authorized by the reclamation relief act of May 25, 1926, have given more favorable terms of repayment to settlers.

Soon after Michigan became a state, the Superintendent of Public Instruction made an inventory of these which showed that at $15 an acre they would bring a fund of $691,200 and an annual income to the University of $48,384. At $20, which he thought might easily represent their value, they would bring an annual income of $64,912.
Sir J. Minnes did tell of the discovery of his own great- grandfather's murder, fifteen years after he was murdered. 3rd. To the Duke of York, where Sir G. Carteret did say that he had no funds to raise money on; and being asked by Sir W. Coventry whether the eleven months' tax was not a fund, he answered "No," that the banquers would not lend money upon it.
I've got a fancy for keeping a little fund of this sort there. And then he added, still not looking at me, but at the dead branches, 'You might call it the Margaret Fund." "That was the name of his first wife!" Edith exclaimed. "Yes, I remember. I said I would, and began to thank him again as I rose from my chair.
