laid aside to dry before being run
through for the diverse printing. In
some way the pressman had turned
one sheet upside down. with the re.
suit that two misprinted bills came
forth-one with $50 diverse and
800 reverse. TIE other with 500 OBJ
verse and a $50 reverse.
The cashier of the bank was the hrst
to become aware Of the error. He
found that something was wrong after
he had paid out the note with the $50
face and the 800 back by coming
across the one with the 500 face and
the $50 back. The note held by the
cashier was returned to the treasury
and destroyed, a perfect note being
issued In Its stead.

hic way out with knife and swim
ashore.
At the appointed time q natboat took
him out some distance from shore and
after being tied up In the sack he was
thrown overheard. He had hardly got
more than 80 feet below the surface
when something bumped against the
sack and almost instantly the idea
flashed through his mind that II was
q shark. Before he could do anything
there was bump from the other side
Of the bag. In moment or two he
had cut his way out and was rising
to the surface, still clutching the knife
in his hand. Once something cold
graxed his leg az he was rising.
On reaching the surface he was
greeted with cheers, but noted with
dismay that there were no boats near.
He started to swim toward the nearest
boat when the water parted few feet
to one side and he could make out the
long, black I'm Of shark. The mon.
ster headed at once for him and as he
was about to dive to escape Its clutch
another shark dashed In.
As the first shark turned over on his
side In order to bite. Clark dived be-
low the surface, then up under the
shark and drove the knife time after
time into Its vitals, and It sank to the
bottom. As he came to the surface
gasping for breath q yawlboat manned
by excited sailors from the navy yard
ran alongside and he was pulled
aboard just In time to escape the Sec
ond shark.

Perhaps the most extraordinary
bank note that ever got In circulation
In this or any other country was a
misprint that escaped the vigilance o!
Uncle Sans inspectors In the bureau
Of engraving and printing. Its face
value was $50. Its other value--well
It was enough different to cause NO
end Of trouble before the mystery OF
this national bank bill was at last un'
raveled.
The manner OF Its discovery was
odd. A clerk In a western hotel In
making up his accounts one day found
a discrepancy he could not explain
He placed the pile Of bills at his left
hand. and as he counted each one
turned the note over and deposited ]!
on pile at his right. He found tina,
when he counted from left to right
his cash balanced exactly, but when he
counted It back again a shortage OF
$50 was shbwn. He consumed two
hours In vain endeavor to find Out
what was the matter, and finally was
obliged to call on the manager for as
sistance.
The manager himself had no better
success. Again and again he counted
the bills. always with the same result
-one time the cash balanced and the
next the shortage was developed
Finally each bill was examined sep
arately, both diverse and reverse;
whereupon the mystiAed men discov
cred the cause Of their trouble. One
of the bills had the design Of $50 IN
the diverse and that OF 500 on the re
verse. 1t further appeared that the
clerk had received the bill a. 500.
On investigation It was found that
, the Treasury Department had record
1 Of the bill. 1t was discovered In 1896
that one sheet Of bank notes printed
/ for a. national bank Of Kansas City
had been reversed In the press. One
plate bore the diverse of $50 bill al
&the top and the diverse In the 500
bill at the bottom. The other plate
bore the reverse of the two notes
