supplied, the proffered twopence was refused,

The New Money Fad.

"Can you give inc 5000 IN new
money!" inquired "A Young man at the
tcllcrs window in one Of the big banks
down town few days ago. "Mr'
wants it for his wife"
Certainly" replied the teller. rec
ognizing in the applicant the conhden-
tial clerk of ono of the banks heaviest
deaositors. The money was handed
out in clean, crisp tens and tives that
had never been in circulation.
After the Young man had gone the
teller remarked to the writer: THAT
new money fad is on the increase.
Just as soon as a man begins TO feel q
little tony he gets the notion that no
member of his family ought TO handle
the soiled and clumpled currency III
general circulation. When the madame
goes a-shopping she must have her
purse filled with brand new bills.
"Many persons explain their mania
for new money on the theory that
there is contagion in the much-handled
bills. They seek TO keep disease away
from their family circle by excluding,
to as full an extent as possible, all
money that has been in circulation.
They keep supply of new bills OF
various denominations constantly on
hand. and the ladies OF the household
feel that they are thus well protected
against contagiOn."
Most of the new money is procured
directly from the banks, but there are
frequent individual applications at The
Sub-Treasury for new bills and new
coin. When the Sub-Treasury has an
abundance of small denomination bills
on hand such applications arc unhes-
itatingly complied with New York
