How to Count Bank Bills.
lChicago Tribune.

There are two kinds of bank bills"
said man who has handled good manv
of them. There are the national bank
bills and the Government notes. The
former have vignettes on each end, the
latter on the left-hand end only. The
Treasury Department made mistake in
putting the vignette on the left end of the
government note, for this reason: Take a
bundle of these bills in a bank
tine bank clerk on counting such
a bundle places his left-hand on
the left end of the bundle and counts
the right end with his right thumb and
finger. The vignette is the most difficult
thing to counterfeit, and for that very rea-
son it is counterfeited most. In counting
such bills as have been speaking about
this vignette is not seen by the bank clerk.
and he is more liable to count in spuri-
GUS note than if he saw the vignette, The
expert knows q bad vignette almost at q
glance. / think il the Treasury Depart
ment had thought of this the yienette
would have been put on the right end OF
the bill"
This was told to the cashier ola Dearborn
street bank, He smiled when he heard il.
"In the first place." he said, bank clerks
do not count bills in the way you mention.
IL they do they violate orders. The in.
structions are that they shall handle the
bills so that each one will come entirely
within the range of the eye. | presume
there are violations of this rule in every
bank. Even so, an expert has other means
of detecting bad bill than looking at the
yignette. However, am of the opinion
thst the yignette would be an additional
safeguard If it were on the right end of the

the BOYS run IN at all hours and chat with
him, even If they can't stay more than a
minute. It's my cossin Nike regular habit
TO 90 to Chauncey's Office, drop into a chair,
put his feet on the desk, and say: 'Chaun-
cey, old bov. how are they coming?' Then
Chauncey will say: Mike, don't be so stuck
up. Take of your coat and help yourself
10 the cigars
ITS the same way with the other men.
They like to drop around and advise with
Chauncey about running the road. Then
thew give him points for his speeches. and
they fix up his Jokes for him. Sometimes
SO many of them come at once that Chaun-
cey doesn't have chair left to sit IN, and
so gets on top of table and bangles his
feet over the side. But he Is always good
natured with the men, and they can't help
liking him."

CHAPTER III,

The Government inspection was always
one Of the events of the year at Little Pud-
dington. 1t generally took place in the
end of August. The Inspector was an
elderly gentleman, whose proper name
was Christopher Wensby. but whose ordi-
nary name among the teachers Of his
district was THE Walrus," from the
fact that his bald forehead and white
moustache pointing downward in q
straight line on each side of his mouth
gave him o decided resemblance TO that
creature. Report stated that Mr.. Wens-
by and Miss Jordan had had tender,
or semi-tender. passages ct some remote
epoch. At any rate they were very good
friends; and Mr.. Wensby always dincd at
the rectory once year, when his tolls in
the little village school-room were over.
The day came; the inspection was duly
performed: and ct the end Of the day Nr.
Wensby sst down at the rsctor's hospits6le
