FREAK TREASURY NOTES.
The Face Of tho Bill, Not the Back, Inc
dictates It's Value.

The Facs Of the Bill, Not the Back, Inc
dictates It's Value.
Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the bureau Of
engraving and printing, number Of
;tfreakH notes find their way into cir
EQUATION from time to time. Such q
one was a note that once came to the
subtreasury at New York. 1t had the
imprint Of twenty dollar note on one
side and Of d ten on the other. But, in
asmuch as the face showed the figures
20, $40 was the legal value Of the bill.
In most cases the freak" bills that
I. have escaped the vigilance Of the bu-
reau's officers are national banknotes,
which, like the regular treasury notes,
are printed there. As intimated al
ready, the face value is always recog-
nized when the freaks come to be
cashed at any branch of the treasury.
The imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever.
The notes are printed In sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are print
ed one side at time. so it can readily
be seen that the printer In turning
over the sheet might get 1t upside
down and thus put ten dollar back
Non the twenty dollar note or twenty
hn the back or one Of the tens.
When errors are discovered the mis-
printed sheet is laid aside to be de-
stroyed. It cannot be torn up at once,
for every sheet has to be accounted
for. After some formalities it Is ground
into pulp.
Almost all the freak bills that have
been issued In the past have found
heir way back to the treasury, there

Very few OF them are now scattered

suse Of The Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.
hist tell all my brothers how my
and I have solved the problem

Il one dressing case between us,
Ee was not room for ali our things.
to the closets, they were erammed
and even undss the bed there
many hat boxes So purchased
Yer dressing case.
then took all my clothes, which
had been crowding my wife's in her
drNssing case, and arranged them in
my Gown. In the top drawer put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles OF fnery
which every man loves SO much. In
the second drawer placed my shirts
ana underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers, neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted, as 1t gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat
But in a day or SO the new plan
proved to have few defects, SO at my
wifes suggestion emptied one Of the
upper drawers in my dresser, putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for few Of her jabots, scarfs,
etc. The second day it was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cups the same drawer, the lowest one,
30 this was fixed, and into the second
drawer my wife moved few Of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that was still using
too much space, permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc,
thus giving her both of the upper
/ drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty Of room in the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then, however, I have found
Mffat / do not require SO much space
for my few things, 50 have taken them
fout Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into hat box, which keep
under the bed, thereby giving my
wife all the drawers In my dressing
ease. / find the present arrangement
very satisfactory, as all have. to do
now is to empty the hat box on the
bed when / want anything in 1t and
then, when have made my selection,
sweep the other articles back into
place.
IN this way have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything is
quite pleasant in our home. Paul West
