Days in California.
Colonel Mike Brannigan, the cele-
bratcd guide and hackman of Ell Paso,
Tex, relates the following reminis-
cences of early days in San Francisco:
II have come back to San Francisco
for the purpose of seeing some of my
old friends of the ArgOnaut days of
1S49, that is, us many of them as are
alive. can tell you some interesting
things about early times in this city.
l owned and drove the first hack that
ever rumbled over the streets of San
Francisco. In 1851 1 got $50 a night
to drive Catherine Hayes. the famous
singer, and her mother. between the
Razette House and Tom Maguire's
'Theater, which was then situated on
Washington street. between Montgom-
cry and Kearny. 1 also got the same
sum from several others ut the same
time for the same trip. Those were
good old days, and l. as well, sup
pose, as very many others, would wish
to see them back again. saw 81, POO
paid for box in Maguire's Theater on
the opening night of Catherine Hayes
season. 4 Limerick butcher at Sacra-
mento paid $3.50 for box when she
went to the capital city to sing. Dol

than nickels are now. When the mail

line of anxious people waiting their
turn outside the old post-olIice, which
was then ut the corner of Brenham
place and Clay street. Then you would
have to pay S12 Il dozen for articles to
be laundried, and men used to throw
soiled underclothing away and buy new
articles rather than pay for washing.

Every body was a capitalist in the old
days, and if only few of the wealth

BAD PAPER MONEY.
The Most Reliable Way of Detecting q
Counterfeit Bill.

The Most Reliable Way of Detecting q
Counterfeit Bill.
A bank cashier tells that the best
way to tell counterfeit bill is by sound
and feeling. Take the bill firmly be-
tween the thumb and index-fnger of
yourIeft hand and pull itquickIy through
YOUR fingers like this. Now listen to the
sound it makes. 1t is not just like rub
5ing silk, and neither does it resemble
a paper sound closely. It's noise that
is too peculiar to admit of a descrip-
ton"
'.Do they make counterfeit paper so
near like the original that you can't
tell The diference?"
You can't tell by looking at it. Ii
is only by the sound and touch. Now
listen to the sound made by this
counterfeit twenty dollar bill. You
see. that's q slick noise. something ike
pulling glazed or oiled paper through
the fingers. A child could tell the
difference between that bill and a
genuine one. But look 1T it and you
will think your eye is on something
that would pass muster for twenty dol
lars worth of groceries"
"Who taught you this business?"
80, my first lesson was given by an
old man who has been all over this
country and Europe teaching the busi-
ness He has in his possession over a
thousand specimens of counterfeits.
He obtained them from the authorities
of the different Governments. He has
no peer in the business, and every ex-
pert in the country owes his knowledge
to this old man. .''-KaDsas City Star.
