wonderful skill of Mrs. Amanda E. Brown to find
any such evidence.
For twenty years Mrs. Brown has been identi-
fer-in-chief Of damaged currency for this govern
ment. To her skill scores of banks and hundreds
of business firms and of private ndividuals-in-
Guiding foolish women-owe their receipt of crisp
new bills in exchange for little heaps of hopeless
looking shreds and patches.
Mrs. Browns desk is directly under the light
of a north window on the ground floor of the
Treasury building. In its pigeonholes and COM
partments are ofhcial-looking manila envelopes
and a few boxes, each of which contains a case
that is, some fragments of alleged money. The
tools of her work lie before her-several fine steel
~scalpels, a four-inch magnifying glass and a half
inch thick piece of plate glass the exact size of a
bank note and ruled of in fifty squares of exactly
equal size.
AS the reporter sat beside her the other day
she spread a sheet of stout manila paper before
her, picked up one Of the boxes and emptied out
ten or twelve charred pieces of paper ranging from
bits about a quarter of an inch square to a couple
of pieces containing a square inch or a little more.
They looked absolutely blank at first. They
might have been any pieces of burned paper.
Mrs. Brown did not handle them with her
fingers, but with marvellous delicacy of touch sep
arated them with the scalpel till they lay spread
out upon the manila sheet, Then she handed the
magnifying glass to the reporter, indicated one
of the larger fragments and intimated that 1t
showed the word dollars and a figure or design
found only on United States twenty-dollar notes.
This is the case of the burning of a store
building" said Mrs. Brown. I'VE received this
box, about four by six inches in size, full OF
charred pieces accompanied by a letter stating
that in 1t were the remains Of $65-two twenties,
two tens and a five.

paper. But l carefully sorted it until 1 discovered
these pieces, which we're unmistakable fragments
of currency.

Some Modern Relatives

Aaron Burr was a cousin of Mr.. Edwards father. Others of his
ancestors and near relatives who attained prominence in public life
we're the following: Henry Edwards, who was governor of Connecu-
cut; Matthias Ogden, who was governor of New Jersey; Pierpont
Edwards, a brother of Mr.. Edwards grandfather, who was a circuit
judge In Connecticut. All the presidents Of Yale college during the
last hundred years, with the exception Of only two, have been mem
bers of this family. These include Timothy Dwight the first, Timothy
Dwight the second and Timothy Dwight Woollsey.
The grandfather of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife of the presi-
dent, and Mr.. Edwards father were first cousins. Nicholas Butler,
now president Of Columbia university, is his first cousin.
The family has moved westward constantly and steadily as far
back into the centuries as 1t can be traced from the time when
William Edwards crossed the Atlantic with his mother and settled
on the bleak shores of New England down to Mr.. Edwards in Omaha;
yes, even to his grandson, who has carried the name On to Colorado.
The grandfather of Jonathan Edwards of Omaha moved west to
New York and carved a home out of the wilderness. The father
of Mr.. Edwards moved west to Ohio in his turn and later came to
That was in $40. He took an active and influential part in the
state n behalf of General Harrison in the "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too" campaign.
The present senior member of this famous family first set his
bold foot upon the site of Omaha June {, 1858. He was only 8
years of age then, having been born August 10, 1916. OF course he
didn't venture alone into the land OF Indians. His father, mother
and sister were in the party. They had started westward from Pitts
burg, Pa, making their way by water and land in true pioneer
fashion. The little party proceeded west from the Missouri river
and built their cabin in Forest City, near the present site of Gretna
1t was a brave little community with big expectations and a nice
sounding name. but with little other prospects for building up a
great city. At that time the country was still almost in a primeval
state. The buffalo roamed free and the Indians considered the white
men their rghtful prey The shrek of the locomotive and the roar
of the flying train Of cars had not yet displaced the raucous cry OF
the bull whacker and the slow. creaking progress of the cumbersome
emigrant or freight wagon.

Government Method of Redeeming Damaged Money

is much more fragile than burned paper, the bills
are broken into little pieces, which are entirely
useless for Identification"
Suppose someone had a counterfeit bill and
burned 1t and sent the fragments for redemption
has that happened?"
well, we have had burned counterfeit money,
but 1t may have come with other bills, you know,
and not have been recognized till 1t came to u.s."
Then you can detect a counterfeit even in
these little black s~craps?"
"oh, that is one of the most important require
ments. And it is not so difficult as you would
think. The quality of the paper is as distinguish
able when a good bill and a bad bill have been
charred as they were before"
do you receive much money from women?"
Mrs. Brown smiled.
I'm the spring and the fall we get 1t every day
from people-chiefy women, l am afraid-who
have hidden 1t in the stove or range"
"oh, not every dayl"
Every day, l assure you. Sometimes two or
three cases a day. Here's one now. The woman
writes that the bills were in the fire all the time
1t burned and remained in the ashes several hours
after the fire was out. Two hundred and ten dol
lars in all. Too bad"
Il suppose" said the reporter, you get manv
letters full Of appreciation and gratitude"
Mrs. Brown smiled again. this time with a ne
culiarly signihcent expression. She admitted that
the redemption division is not embarrassed by any
particular richness In the shape of thanks.

brought out traces of the engraving. / have not
finished the case yet, but the Identification of one
twenty-dollar note is certain.
"As the fragment contains less than two-hfths
of the original size of the note, the person having
it redeemed will be required to make affidavit to
the circumstances of its loss. He will then re-
ceive one-half the face value of the note. In that
way, you see, the government is protected against
redeeming the same note twice for full value, oh,
yes, such attempts are often undoubtedly made,
but owing to the precautions taken they do not
succeed"
do you ever receive money from wrecked
vessels2"
Eyes. We often have money that has been in
salt water some time, but those cases are rarely
difficult. The bills are generally intact and can
be spread out to dry"
"Is most of the money you receive damaged
by hre?"
Eyes After a great fire we always have par
ticularly heavy receipts Of injured bills. Now we
are getting money from the Chelsea fire, but we
are also still receiving damaged bills from Cali
fornis, even though 1t is two years since the
disaster.
I'VE have received hundreds Of thousands of
dollars from San Francisco for redemption and
80 per cent of 1t has been made good by the treas
ury. That is an unusual percentage; but the San
Francisco money came to US in excellent oondt
ton.
I'm the first place most Of 1t had been put
away carefully. The bills had been laid in piles
instead Of being all crumpled up, as they often are
in small stores or in private houses. The fire
coming on at night, the money was in safes, which
at least prevented some injury, even when the
safes were not hreproof.
Then, too, our men we're on the ground when
the work of recovery began and told people how
to ship the burned money. The piles of bills must
not be handled more than is absolutely necessary
They must be packed in cotton and put into stout
boxes which contain nothing else.
I'VE sometimes receive packages containing
both bills and coin which have been through q

Early Day Manners

LESS than two weeks after u arrival we were initiated into
the manners of the new land" says Mr.. Edwards. There was a
land dispute between two men named Noonan and Matthews. They
Ranger Jones happened along with a jug of whisky. The jug was
opened and shortly afterward the dispute was also opened. Words
changed to blows and suddenly Matthews raised his rife and deliber-
ately shot Noonan through the head, killing him instantly. The
murderer fed. About twenty years afterward l saw him while !
was with a surveying party south of Sidney"
Jonathan Edwards, who had been a political factor in the early
Ohio community, soon took a similar position in the primeval wilder
ess of Nebraska. General" Edwards was soon the recognized
leader in Forest City and all the other settlers looked to him as to a
father for care and counsel in the emergencies which presented them
selves in the pioneer community.
an amusing scene of excitement Someone started the rumor that
the redskins we're coming and all the settlers rushed to the home of
any father. Preparations were made there for defense. The night
passed, however, and Their wa no sign Of the Indians. The scare sub
sided by next morning. However, a neighbor of ours, Bob Shields
by name, had left his home in such excitement that he had no time
to put on his pants. Arriving at our house he begged my father to
furnish him with an extra pair. Now, most men in that country and
time had but one pair of these useful articles of dress. But my
father having just come from the east was the possessor of two speci-
mems and he gave one to the terrified Mr. Shields, who put them on
in such a hurry that he had them reversed. But neither this fact
nor the tbes of those who saw him interfered with the speed of his
