of early hours. King Edward prefer

A SHREwD RASCAL
Counterfeiter's Little Trick That DE
ceived Many for Years.

n In circulars warning against a
counterfeit $50 note on the United
States national bank of Los Angeles
attention is called TO the fact that
the word national on the spurious
note Is spelled with final 81 in
stead OF ~. The inference would
seem TO be that the counterfeiter is
a poor speller. Yet II by no means
follows that such is necessarily the
case. as little story will show.
On the $40 national bank note de-
sign used many years ago was the
sentence. "The union. maintain it,
A wonderfully executed counterfeit
OF that note was placed In circula-
ton, the spurious character Of which
was revealed only by the discovery
that In the sentence, quoted above
the counterfeiter had spelled the
word maintain" without the IT.
Everybody was put on guard against
the $40 note bearing the word
"mainain". That was virtually the
only test applied and the note that
wlthstood II was recognized as gen.
uine. But es soon as that warning
had been spread broadcast in the
public mind. Mr.. counterfeiter put
out a second and larger edition OF
notes on which the word maintain
was properly spelled. many OF which
passed for several years as genuine.
