oounterfeiting Railroad Tickets.

Are railroad tickets easily counter

not initiated to any great extent. Some
Of the tickets sold are worth $50 and
sometimes $50, and there's mo difficulty
whatever in printing them. The card
board can be secured of any dealer,
and the worst engraver imaginable is
able to make a facsimile of our cut
The figures on the margin of the tick
ct puzzle many persons. They are but
indicators for the conductors of CORE
spending numbers to cancel OF
course the counterfeit will be detected
sooner or later in the sorting out de-
partment, where each ticket has its
number and consequent position in
the pack. Should two tickets be num-
bered alike they would soon be dis
covered. One reason why more bogus
tickets are not printed is the fact that
almost sure discovery would result
should any attempt be made to sell
them. The counterfeit of return
ticket might be discovered before the
holder had time to use the coupon, and
in consequence such a person would
be surely trapped. The same rule
holds good in regard to long distance
ticket. Before the journeys end is
reached the fraud might be telegraph
ed on the line of route and result in
the arrest of the would be deadhead. "

flowers from professional florists, but
in many smaller places there is no
small demand constantly being made
on the amateur who raises choice
flowers. 1t is real pleasure to give
ones pretty town girls the dainty
corsage bouquets they ask for, and
each Sunday morning to supply the
neighbors' children with their little
button hole bouquets 1t is crafty

more persons call each day Just to
see the flowers" quite expecting and
in fact receiving, a nosegay each, and
1t is almost a privilege to send flowers
to adorn the bride or to place on the

flowers, for all these varied purposes,
must be furnished by one, that person
