GIVES HIM START

City of Washington
is NOW A MILLIONAIRE
Paddle Flood Hits Lucky Streak,
Cuts Out the Booze and Falls In
Way of Many Lucky Turns
TO Fortune

From the New York Telegram.
Paddle Flood was an Irish lad" began
the city editor, as he set down his glass
and gazed into its bubbling contents.
He had no education of any sort, and
was obliged to sign the payroll with a
cross He was employed at the bureau
OF engraving and printing at Washing
ton, where all our paper money is made,
and his chief ambition in life was to own
a saloon.
'Ie was a hard drinker and couldn t
save a dollar, so it seemed as If his am
bition was never to be realized. His
friends laughed at him and declared that
il Paddle ever did start in the saloon
business that he himself would be his
best customer.
"There's little joint in Washington
where they have relics of Lincoln and
curiosities OF all sorts framed and hung
on the wall. It's really more of museum
than saloon. A great part of the dis
play was Confederate money and out-of-
date bank notes and shinplasters. Paddle
spent most of his time in the place when
he was not engaged in sweeping the floor
of the pressroom at the bureau, not be-
cause the relics appealed to him, but be-
cause a larger glass of ale and lager
could be secured at Dolans than at any
other place on the avenue.
Zone day while Paddle was sweeping
the floor of the press room during the
lunch hour he found a sheet of paper
money on the floor. Paper money, you
know, is printed in sheets. Five bills to
the sheet. From the bureau it is taken
to the treasury building in .steel-lined
wagons where it is cut up into bills and
shipped to the sub-treasuries or national
banks. Paddles sheet was printed on
both sides and was of twentydollar de-
nomination.
"He was about to turn the sheet of
money over to the chief plate printer when
an idea struck him and he slipped it into
his jumper pocket He hustled down to
the basement changed his clothes, got
excused for an hour, and then FASTENED
to Dolan,s.
He asked for Dolan, and inquired
what the latter would be willing to pay
for a $40 banknote. Doan had never
heard of a bill of that denomination, and
a discussion ensued, during which Pad
die declared that he had one; that 1t was
genuine, engraved and printed by the
United States government, and good for
its face value. Dolan wound up by Of
fering $500 for it, but he must see 1t first
Paddle excused himself for a few mo-
ments and entered tailor shop across
the way, where he borrowed a pair of
shears. He then cut the sheet of money
in halves in such a manner that three
of the notes were on one piece and two
on the other. lie then returned to
Dolan's and showed him what he called
a $40 bill.
