Going to Law.

Old Wax and 1 lived side by side and never had a row, until one day he damned the the side of my old brindle COW. He said she ate a suit of clothes that hung upon his line, and so 1 biffed him upon the nose and he soaked me on mine. We owned our homes, were out of debt, had money in. the bank that day he damned my brindle pet. and l gave him a spank. Awhile we stood around and cussed and wagged the fluent law. until, sur charged with deep disgust, we turned and went to law. Oh, that was bum and beastly sport! Our lawyers, smooth and delft, con veyed the case from court to court. and taxed US right and left. Now at the poor farm Wax and put m our fading years! 1 lean on him and heave a sigh and he burst into tears. Sometimes we ramble up the road, where once we did our biz. and lawyer lives in my abode, another in his. Then to the poor house back we go, and seek our couch of straw, and think of joys we use to know before we went to law Walt Mason.

Making Paper Money.

The most interesting part of the work of the treasury department IS it's process of keeping the nation supplied with money. This pro- cess, in the case of paper money, says an exchange, begins with the purchas of the raw paper and the engraving of the plate. The paper is made of a secret formula.
 The plates are engraved with exacting care. The public is not permitted to see the engravers at work, nor is any one engraver per mitted to prepare whole plate. The money is never printed from the original plate, but duplicates are prepared from it by mechanical process.
 If this were not so, it would be practically impossible to detect counterfeiting, since DO two plates for printing money of the same denomination would be exactly alike.
 The fine, linss on the money are engraved by a machine which has as many combinations as the best safe lock, each combination pro- ducing different design, no one but the operator knowing these combinations These lines can never be successfully initiated by hand.
 The highest bill printed has 3 face value of $lo.oOo. Few ever come back, as the banks prefer them to any other money. Twelve pounds of them take the place oi 2.OOO of silver in q bank vault.
 It costs the government l z cents to issue a piece of paper money and redeem it. It take; about 30 days to complete tht prin ing of a piece of paper money and each bill is counted 52 tirns' during tie process.
