Cleland. Il once did young fellow a
good turn and kept him out of lot of
trouble. He's the trusted messenger
in the Nineteenth National bank here
now. This bank is the clearing house
for lot Of smaller banks and also
gets the biggest part of the city's de-
posits. They get thousands of dollars
in old and dirty money every week
which they turn in to the subtreasury
on Wall street, getting new bills in re-
turn. This young friend of mine has
been the messenger and made the ex-
changes. He says they never even
open the sealed packages Of bills that
he takes to them and which have been
certified to by the officers Of the bank.
The subtreasury simply o KS the
amount on the back of the package
and forwards 1t with q lot of similar
bundles to Washington. where the old
and dirty money Is never counted, but
just ground up and destroyed. He has
thought the whole plan out and says
he can substitute = phony package for
the one with the old bills in it. He
has to have some one in the deal with
him, for he would never dare to try to
get rid of the old money. I saw him
this afternoon and tomorrow he will

How to Pack Flowers.

For packing shallow boxes should
be used, as the flowers will travel
much better II packed in single layers.
The boxes should be just long enough
to comfortably accommodate the now-
ers and should be lined with some soft
non-absorbent material. Wood wool
is the best material to use. but fresh
moss will also answer the purpose.

He has, however. up to the present,
taken no advantage Of this extension
of liberty. preferring to remain cooped
up in his little ante-chamber.
He sleeps badly and often PAGES the
floor of his bedroom the whole night
noon he retires for brief siesta. He
takes little pleasure in the society Of
his wives and seldom sees them, with
the exception Of the mother Of his son
Hamil Effendi. who is in almost con-
slant attendance upon him. His sole
recreation lies in the newspapers,
which are literally supplied, and are
read to him by his favorite wife. He
takes the greatest possible interest in
passing events, both at home and
abroad, but outside of this he has no
occupation and passes the day with
the utmost monotony. OF late, how
ever, he has had a desire to employ
himself with amateur carpentering,
and in accordance with this idea a
full set of joiner's tools has been or
dered from Paris factory.
