Woo,ien Money In England.

Wooden money in the shape of ex-
chequer TALES was, prior to the es-
tablishment of the Bank of England
In 1894, current in this country. Tai
lies was the name given to the notched
sticks formerly in use in England for
keeping the accounts of the ex-
chequer. They we're square rods of
hazel or willow, inscribed on one side
with notches indicating the sam for
which the tally was an acknowledge
ment and on two other sides with
the sum in Roman characters.
When the transaction was com
pleted, the tally recording it was
split lengthwise, so that each section
contained a half of each notch ard
one of the written sides. One half,
called the tally or check, was given
to the person for whose service it
was intended, the other half, called
the counter tally, was retained in the
eXcheQuer until its corresponding
tally should be brought it by the per
son who had last given value for it.
1t thus became current token
representing cash. After the estab-
lishment of the Bank of England
government payments were made
through its agency. The use of tai
lies in the exchequer was abolished
by statute %, George III. The old
tallies We're by the acts and 5, Viii

it was burning them that caused the

RObbing the Pawnbroker.

A man has been found who is able
to get the best of pawnbrokers. He
is a smooth individual, flashing dia-
monds and fine clothes. He enters a
shop and offers to pawn a watch
worth about $500. He agrees to let it
go up for $50, and the pawnbroker is
glad to get it at the price. While the
proprietor of the shop is getting the
money, the man cleverly substitutes
another watch exactly similar in ap-
pearance to the first one, but with
possible market value of 50. He gets
the money and vanishes. One pawn
broker thus far has reported the
game to the police. 1t is not known
how many have been touched L IN
this way, but it is thought that there
are number of em.-Minneapolis
