SPEAKING Of counterfeit money. detective
said to the Cincinnati Conmerc iaI- Gazette that
there was very little of it in circulation these
days The time was, ten years ago." he said.
"whea man received a counterfeit bin on an
average Of once a week. II is rare that a man
who handi 5 q great deal of money runs across
counterfeit bflI once month now. Most OF
the expert COMMENTATORS are in prison; and
those who are out are so closely watched by the
detectives that they have little chance 10 work.
No new talent in the counterfeiting line is being
developed, and the chances of detection are so
numerous and certain that the snoitious young
crook turns his ABILITIES in other directions
Now and then clever counterfeit appears, but
the secret service mon run it down 50 quickly
that 1t does not Ezy smart people to attempt
TO ran currency factory OF taeir own There
IS some counterfeitng OF small silver pieces car
RED on but the work IS so base that il rarely
gets into general circulation, only the ignorant
people being deceived by 1t. CoHnterfeiting will
be one Of the lost arts before many years"

| MUCH has been said and written regarding the
origin of the bowie knife. The fact is that Rein
