Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1897-10-21
REDEEMING MUTILATED MONEY
ments Representing Three-Fifths
of 1t.

According to the present rule of the
redemption division of the United
States Treasury nothing less than
fragments representing two-fifths of a
bank note or greenback will be re-
deemed by Uncle Sam. IF that much
OF a note is presented the United
States" writes Clifford Howard, on
Destroying Million Dollars a Day,
in the Ladies' Home Journal, will
allow the holder one-half the face
value of 1t, while three-fifths of a note
will be redeemed for full value. OF
course, there are occasional exceptions
to this rule.
Some time since man from New
England forwarded a bunch of dis
colored paper money that he had found
buried in field. 1t had laid in the
ground SO long a time, and had been
so generously Toasted upon by worms,
that 1t fell to pieces as soon as it was
touched 1t would have been utterly
impossible for any one unacquainted
with the secret marks that the gov
eminent places on it's bills to gather
these decayed pieces of money togeth-
er in their proper order; but some of
the clerks in the redemption division
OF the treasury are particularly expert
in sorting and deciphering bits of
mutilated money and through long
years OF experience are able to tell in
ar instant to what particular note or
kind Of note a certain scrap belongs.
v hen the pieces contained in this
bunch of old money were finally sort
ed and mounted it was found that
while there was not one complete
note remaining (not more than two
or three scraps in some instances) the
rightful owner was entitled to a re-
demption of four hundred dollars.
Unfortunately for the man who found
the money he could not prove his
ownership, nor could he make affidavit
as to what had become of the missing
portions of the notes. Consequently,
the United States was the gamer in
this case. Accidents of this nature
are by no means rare, as Is attested by
the number of boxes of charred rem
nants of money which are kept among
the curious records of the redemption
division.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1897-10-21

ciously armed, to see that the law and
order are respected. In the center is
the royal chamber, with the king and
queen, surrounded by the royal nur-
series and apartments, with battalions
of flunkeys and nurses. Each kind
of ant has school or architecture OF
it's own One reproduced here repre-
sents the cathedral style, and is
seen from the side, but 1t is an ex-
ample of the less ornate forms. AT
times they are fringed with pinnacles
and crowned with spires or minarets.
The white ants have robust dlges~
ton. favorite articles of diet being
wood, hard siliceous stalks of grass,
and even glass and metal do not
come amiss. Their special taste for
cork leads to great waste of wine
in the more northern settlements, and
without giving the least sign from
without, they reduce the woodwork
of a house to shell that crumbles to
dust at the least touch.
