WOODEN CHECKS.

the Year 1871.

Wooden checks are tlic sort of thing

were used in England from thS earliest
times down TO us late AZ 1854.

These pieces served aS check and
countcrfoil, the latter being always the
larger piece with the unnotclIcd end

was then taken by the payee. the larger
sent to the person OH whom the check
was drawn, generally a collector OF
customs or other revenues, public or
private. He would honor the check on
finding that the two pieces fitted and
had the amount credited to him by the
drawer OH returning them together to
him. Thus were the great danger aud
expense of transporting large sums OF
coin avoided
Forgery of a tally was obviously I'm.
possible unless Il new counterfeit could
be substituted, and If stolen in the or
binary way it would be of little use to
the thief, for, unlike our checks, there
was nothing to show OH whom 1t was

The ceremony was performed quick

Immediately the people tiocked Into
a narrow alleyway at the base of the

descended. The crush was SO great
that the assemblage became a fran

as all fought for good positions. The

When the bride and groom, covered
with cement dust, came out of the

lice guard and threw their arms about
the girl. She was kissed so times in
as many seconds, and her jacket was
torn from her shoulders. Her hair
fell down and her hat fell off. A po-
lieeman picked the girl up in his arms
and carried her to a cab. The driver
whipped up his horses and the couple

Branch of Grand
Forks Fruit Co.

The Grand Forks Fruit COM
pany has established a branch
house in this city, which is in
charge of Lewis M. Johnson.
The company does purely a
wholesale business and has
from three to six carloads of
seasonable fruits always on
hand, which means the receipt
Of a large consignment daily.
The territory the company
covers with goods from this
house is as far west as
Minot and all the branches be-
tween these points on the Great
Northern. By establishing the
branch here quicker SER
vice is given customers in this
territory, and considerable saw
ing is made in freight and ex-
press charges. Although this
branch is only a temporary one,
the chances are that next year a
building will be erected and the
wholesale fruit house will be a
permanent fixture.
