REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, ‘There would be a heap of virtue in the world if there was more fun in it. | HAVE LOST CUNNING COUNTERFEITERS TURNING OUT NO GOOD WORK. For Many Years There Have Been No Spurious Banknotes to Worry the Money World—The “Mon- roe Hundred.” There is one lost art among crim- inals, one trade which United States secret service men have seemingly wiped out to the very last man. This is the art of counterfeiting currency, says the Kansas City Star. Kansas City bank officials say that for eight years not one spurious banknote worthy of passing comment has been handled in the money world. They deolare that the day of successful counterfeiting has come to an end. “Not a banknote which fools the ex- perts is on the market,” said E. F. Swinney, president of the First na- tional bank. “There is counterfeit currency, plenty of it,” he said, “but it’s a kind detected almost at a glance. Inspection of it quickly reveals the flaws. Usually the work is clumsy But not since the notorious gang in Philadelphia which made the famous “Monroe hundred” was wiped out has there been a really clever counterfeit- erat work, At least, we have no rec- ord of any. The “Monroe hundred” was a $100 silver certificate with the face of President Monroe stamped upon it. Tt was of a series of 1901, check letter D, Tillman register, Morgan treasur er. It was an absolutely perfect coun- terfeit. Experts in the treasury de partment were fooled by it. The notes became so numerous and were ac cepted so extensively that the gov- ernment called in its entire issue of the bill, amounting to several mil- lion dollars. Even now u ‘Monroe hundred’ {s occasionally picked up and is almost impossible to tell whether it is genuine or not. “The only difference between the genuine bill and the counterfeit waa in the shape of the figures 3 and 4 and the length of the bill. In the fig- ure 3 the lower loop did not extend up so far toward the center of the figure as it should have extended. In the figure 4 the space between the base and the center cross line was nar- rower than it should have been. The false bill was one-sixteenth of an inch shorter than the genuine. “Such irregularities would easily pass the eye of an expert,” Mr. Swin- ney said. “Of course, if a genuine bill waa laid before you, and you had the opportunity to compare the two, after some study the defects could be noted. But think of the number of money handlers who had the counter- feit D221 who had no opportunity for such comparison. “The gang which mado the ‘Monroe hundred” was arrested in Philadelphia io 1898. The plates which printed the bills were recovered and the counter- feiters sentenced to long terms in pNson. “With the end of that gang,” Mr. Swinney eaid, “there seems to have been an end of successful counterfeit- ing. Not since 1899 has the govern- ment been forced to recall any cur- rency issue. Crooks have learned that to make spurious currency which will pass inspection is a hard task. And they have learned that the pen- alty Uncle Sam makes them pay when detected is heavy.” Donation Carnegie Refused. Apropos of Mr. Carnegie’s latest gift, an editor, taking out his note- book, said the other day: “I can tell you of a gift of $1.50 that Mr. Carnegie once refused to give. Let me read you the letter asking for this And you were living It takes you Where the pathway skirts the river And the sunbeams glint and quiver On the babbling waters, erooning to the Dillows of their joys— Where the fragrant trail leads over Field and stream and through the clover, T am gliding with my fishpole to a land just made for boys!

Ah, the tender touch of feeling To the boy mind that comes stealing, As the bell note of the mourner sets Its awe upon his heart! Softly, stealthily he swishes Raited hook unto the fishes, While a frog upon a lily-pad awakens with a start! In this nook among the tangles King of all, he sits and angles, And the Goddess of the Morning all her sylvan grace employs— Sends her shafts that shimmer golden, Glories new and glories olden— All the wonders that she conjures in the land just made for boys! Ah, this wonderland of sweetness, How it rounds out his completeness, Sets within his heart ambition and the yearning cry for fame; Teaches him discerning knowledge, Nature’s truths, not learned in college, Bupplementing books and “prexies” in the fight to win a name! Oh, the tangled trails of childhood That go winding through the wildwood, That lead onward to the haven where the heart knows no alloys! How their calm, seraphic gladngss Blends with manhood and ite madness And transports the weary worker back ward to the land of boys!
