MAN AND HIS MONEY.
THE VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH BiurS
ARE CARRIED.

ROIJ-COtn CFanks. Who Like to
Handle New MOney-Wealth In Ev-.
cry Pocket.
A great many men hare cranky idaaS
about preparing their bills for ready
handling One plan is to fold each bill
separately, keeping the denominations
apart in the various divisions Of then
pocketbooks. This method facilitates
the search for the desired SUM when
making a purchase. This is almost =.
sure guard against passing out "a bill
Of the wrong denomination.
Then there are men who make 3
neat roll of all their bills. The 1irsl Dr.
rolled by itself to about the size Of 4
lead pencil, the next is Tapped abon
It, and so on to the end. Then rns~
Der band is placed about the entire
lot. When it is desired to use one OF
the bills. the rubber is removed and
the end of the first bill caught be
tween the thumb and foretingey Of the
right hand while the roll Is held lM.-
tween the thumb and forefinger OF the
left hand. Then the bill is quickly un
wound. none of the others being dir
turbed.
A great many men never carry 4
pocketbook. One reason for this is
that n well worn purse more easily
slips from the pocket than a roll or
bills. Then. again. the bulk Of pock
etbook is annoying. 1t takes up toe
much room, especially where the paE-
falcons are made snug. When pocket
books are not carried, favorite w.
ceptacle is the watch pocket WileH-
this is used the bills are made up in.s
a little. hard bunch. Their Preserves
is always felt against the body. In /.
crowd there is no danger Of losing
them. and when travelling with any
considerable sum this is a safe d.
pository.
Some men have a fad Of carrying s
lot of new bills in an envelope thar ii
kept in one of the inside pockefs. Now
and then man is found who keeg,s T.
few bills in every pocket. He goes ON
the theory that If he is robbed of Onu
lot sufficient amount will rem3iH 10
last him until he reaches home. He
starts out feeling that he is coing 10
be robbed and makes provision 70 a,isA.:,
every possible emergency. He usually
makes three folds Of his bills and
tucks them away in the corners 81 Gts
pockets with extreme care. lie Gees
not feel surprised If he finds nEnE.
making an inventory after arriving
home that part Of his funds has dis
appeared. as he expected to be robbed
Any number of men are found wiHy
keep only little working capi;TH ln
their trousers pockets. the bulk Of their
funds being concealed in broad. flat
wallets in the inside pocket of thei,
waistcoats. These bills are always "a
large denominations and folded o3ce..
When man brings forth his resir'.
funds, It will be found that ali ,,n
bills have smooth. bright appear
ance. They have been with him -
long that they are as fat as sheet
from letter press.
Very few men in this country carry
coins In purses In England purses ace
common. The material is generafa'
pigskin. but undressed kid is also usek
extensively. The former have TIVE
compartments. one for small gold coins
and the other for silver. It IL sonse-
times amusing to watch a man with =
little undressed kid bag pay his fare
on the street cars. especially II he -
wearing thick dogskin gloves. Only
conductors with great patience css4
watch the proceeding with complAeen-
cy. A woman can pick out five pennies
from beneath a roll Of bills In con-
siderably less time than It takes THE
man with the kid purse to bring fot1h
a nickel. One reason that the kid
purse is not popular is because It feels
like the half of a small dumbtsell in
the pocket when fairly we'll filed 2G
London it is the proper thing to carry q,
pigskin owing to the large circulation
of sovereignS. 1t is essential To SSscN
the gold and silver separate In order &c
avoid mistakes.
There are coin cranks as well as pa
per money crankS. Some years agE
there lived little. round faced mar
over in the Back Bay who came into
the business district every week De 7
morning at precisely 9 O'Clock. II
paying his fare he always passed L.
bright, new nickel that looked as il 4
had come to him fresh from the mist.
Where or how he got them was mys-
terry to the conductor, but he finally de-
cided that his customer was cOnDss5s-
ed with some banking institution ami
that the new money was used TO e4s-
cape the chances Of contracting disease
through the handling Of money thar
had been in common use
There are any number Of people wig.

periencing pang. They will hold as
to new half dollar until the last eg
