WITHOUT A TICKET.
A New Yorker Shows Another How to
Travel Without One.

A New Yorker Shows Another How to
Travel without One.
The other day on a certain railway, a
man got into one of the cars and presently
began talking to fellow passenger, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. After a
time he asked the gentleman whether he
had heard the story about how a man trav-
eled without ticket. The gentleman said
he had not, SO the man asked him to lend
him his ticket that he might show him how
it was don g, and began fiddling about with
it, but pretended that the story had sud
denly slipped out of his head. but that he
would be sure to remember it soon.
After time the train got near New York,
and, as the man still could not remember
the story, he returned the gentleman his
ticket, after tearing a bit off of it, and
started for the door. This struck the gen.
tleman as being very curious. ard so he
watched the man. When he was reached
by the conductor and asked for his ticket he
said he had given it up, but the conductor
denied it, and. after deal of alteration,
the man pulled some silver out of his pocket
and was about to pay his fare when he sud-
dely said-producing small piece of the
ticket-that he could prove that he had
given up his ticket, because he rememem-
bered playing with it in the train and tear
ing of small piece. and that if the con-
ductor looked he would find ticket with a
piece torn of. On looking, the conductor
found ticket with piece torn OF, aud, of
course, accepted the mans stateMents.

COUNTING BANK BILLS.
Two Kinds Of Them and the Way - H..,
die Each

Two Kinds Of Them and the Way - H...
die Each.
"There are two kinds Of bank bills.n said
man who has handled good many az
them. "There are the national bank hill,
and the government notes. The former
have vignettes on each end, the latter on tbe
left hand end only. The treasury depart-
ment made mistake in putting the Wig
nette on the left end Of tho government
note, for this reason: Take . bundle Of thee
bills in bank; the bank clerk in counting
such bundle places his left hand on the
the left end Of the bundle and counts she
right end with his right thumb and finoer.
The vignette is the most difficult thing to
counterfeit, and for that very rea-
son it is connrfeited most. In count
ing such bills as have been
not seen by the bank clerk, and he il more
liable to count in q spurious note than if be
saw vignette. The expert knows a bad
vignette almost at glance. I think If The
treasury department had thought Of this.
the vignette would have been put ON the
end of the bill.''
This was told to the cashier Of 4 Dear
born street bank. He smiled when he
heard it. in the first place. be said.
bank clerks do not count bills in the wav
you mention. If they do they violate
orders. The instructions are that they
shall handle the bills so that each one viii
come entirely within the range Of the eve.
! presume there are violations of this rule
in every bank: Even 80, an expert has
other means of detecting . bad bill than
looking at the viRnette. However, am of
the opinion that the vignette would be an
additional safeguard If it were ON the right
end of the note. "-Chicago Tribune.

.SEALSKIN YEAR.

This is the year to buy seal
skins, as the time is not far dis
tant when seals, like buffalo, will
be extinct.
The catch this year in Alaska
will fall far below all expecta-
tons, as only twenty thousand
out Of the allowance of sixty
thousand are now imported. The
market will soon be cleaned out,
and at greatly advanced prices,as
there are no skins for sale in the
hands of the importers.
Mr.. Babcock has just returned
from New York where he has
been purchasing fur goods. He
has the greatest stock of Fur
Capes, Jackets, Goats, ETC., ever
shown in the west. All seal
goods will advance very decided
ly later in season. AS Mr.. Bah
cock was fortunately in the mar
ket before the advance, he Sc
cured these goods very cheap,
and ladies can save money by
purchasing early. The styles
are particularly elegant, and fits
are faultless in seal garments anc
capes. Goods will soon be ready
and we invite your attention
Early selections are best.
