Of the wrong denomination.
Then there are men who make 9

the bills. the rubber Is removed and

lot OF new bills In an envelope that Is
kept In one OF the inside pockets. Now

few bills In every pocket. He goes on
the theory that II he Is robbed Of one
lot n sufficient amount Will remain to
last him until he reaches home. He
starts out feeling that he Is going to
be robbed and makes provision to meet
every possible emergency. He usually
makes three folds of his bills and
.ucks them away in the corners OF his
pockets with extreme care. He does
Tot feel surprised II he finds upon
making an inventory after arriving
