March Of the Paper Dollar.
From the st. Paul Dispatch.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
In the old days when We didn't have
much money. but had muscular shoul-
ders and wore stout jeans. we had no
quarrel with the silver dollar. When
we possessed money it was a comfort
to hear it Jingle, to feel it Weighing
on our galluses. But since We have
become prosperous we have put away
our desire for the physical evidence
of money. We want something that
does not wear holes in our modern
Affete pockets. We want something
which IL does not mako us round
shouldered to carry about.
And 30 has spread the custom OF the
one-dollar bill. Tho cartwheel was
first banished from the east. Now 1t
is possible to trade almost anywhere
in st. Paul and get your five.dollar
bill changed with paper ones. In the
smaller towns. tho towns OF the from
tier and the west, the ponderous coin.
supported by the muscular shoulders.
the stout jeans and the galluses, is
still tolerated.
But the demand for paper dollars is
gradually carrying all before 1t. That
is why the Treasury Department has
decided to circulate new issue OF
one-dollar and two-dollar greenbacks
similar to those of civil war days. And
the day is coming when even the small
boy will look with contempt upon the
money that jingles but doesn't burn.
the money that weighs on the shoulders
and tests the fiber OF the galluses.

Detectives and other members of
