C fiM-auso Bank Notes Arc Worth Only About One One-Hundredth of Face Value in Exchange oddities In oicteutaj . to Much inflated Cur rency. New forkj Pun. Down n the Republic of Colombia In South America there Is sort ef comlo qpe paper money. All tld there la in circulation about a billion dollars worth, of It, Which U pretty goad for a country whose population is 5,000,080, especially when it is remembered that many of these folks naver saw a ceat'a worth f the money. A i"n Jn the streets read:, "Cervesa. $Bun Vaalto." The hesitating tourist reads it out: "Beer, 15 a glass." Then he wonders what son of enormously wealthy country he has struck for ht misfortunes and begins to believe that the old tales of the Spanish days didn't exaggerate in the least. Unless the little' word "oro,1' meaning gold, follows any statament about money the tourist should divide by 106. Five dol lars without this qualification means five cents. Gabs at lit or $12 an hour mean civilised rates of H to 1130. In the billiard Parlor paying $50 an hour Isn't as extravagant as it seams when it is divided by J00. Alo, reducing the sum total of caper money to Us value in gold it comes to 10,0u0.000, which is mora in keeping with the giie of the country. it all began some years ago when Co lombla was solvent. Then the money was worth what the face value declared it to be. When 'tha. nrst of a long series of revolutions of recent times came on the government ran shy of money in the treasury. A report to that effect by tho Treasurer got the reply; "Print soma more." It is like the shares of a fake gold mining con cern. There are bound to be plenty as iopg as the printing presses hold out. They kept on printing the money until eventually there was so much that the valuo fell to about M tq, 1. That la if a man had a bank note pf loo pcbqs it Was worth just 50 cents An real money. Even now the same fatal facility In printing money exists, ljut the present government has set to wark to make the money worth more nearly what It calls for. Some day it may return to Its face value. The Colombians have no confidence In their own paper. They avoid taking It in exchange for gold, If possible. A draft on England or the l'nltd 81 a tea, payable In gold, circulates practically as real money. , It changes from one hand to another with indorsements multiplying, until fin ally It Is necessary to add an extra slip of paper to carry the Burplus of names. The owner doesn't want to cash It In for the paper money, because the Exchange varies so from day to day that be may lose money by changing. In Colombia the morning greeting of merchants isn't "How are you?" but. "How Is exahang 1" Some days a gold dollar la worth 100 pesos, other days It may be up to 186. Then, again, It may fail under 100," but it hasn't done that re cently. An English mining company recently wanted to grt a draft for 6.000 pounds eaahed. That meant $36,009 gold or $3,000, 000 paper money. The draft was pre sented at the Banco Central. The bank had o dp some (all scratching to get together this sura. The mining company gpt a request not long after that to be good! enough thereafter to give about a .month's notice when it wanted any such suraef money. One of the men in the company eald he. had an. Idea that another such request would mean that the government would have to cable to England, where the money Is printed now, fo have the printers run off a lot of the stuff. The company had to have the native money to pa off Its helpers, oth erwise it would have been very loath to let so tuuuh gold go. it is a country where counterfeiting Would naturally be supposed to he one of the lost arts- Wl)en the government made Its own money instead of having It printed abroad whatever counterfeits there vera were so much better made than the government money that they passed current vary redlly. Every one recognised thera as eounterfelts, but few persons cared;, they were much better engraved than the government money. There Is a story told about a sealous customs officer who one Jlay detected a large quantity of counterfeit money ba ng brought In by a man who came from Germany. He seised the lot and wired to Bogota to the central government to know what ha should do. He was rather surprised to get back a rush answer that he should let the money come in. The government was willing to welcome a lot of well made money without paying for it- posit lous ejola Of such fineness (hat It is actually iao net cent, gold, - it does not circulate, except In the mind of the Treasurer of the country. Consequently every gold coin of every country is dia counted. In Uruguay against that wonder ful imaginary piece of money. Paru and some of tlis pthera have from tlnae to lima repudiated parts of thei currency. Perhaps that is what Colombia yet may do. "As matters stand." one resident said "the money isn't pretty enough for wall paper and It isn't of much use for any tlng else." There is some remarkable gold money is ojrculatlon In Colombia. There are coins o Spanish Kings dating back to the seventeenth centurv These are doubloons, which pass current at the value of H. French and other gold also is to be found In Colombia. There Is also a small amount of gold money of the re public in circulation. That i genuine ana is worth what It purports to he.

Travelers have to carry a big pscaeutii. For instance, a man going by steamer fram Puerto Colombia to Santa Mart wan standing at the rait on a win dy day when his coattails blew aside. In a hip pocket was seen what is called a rail big eneugh to choke a cow. He had a lot of twenty-five peso bills laid out flat and tied With a cord about the mid dle. 1 "Gee, what cincll for a pickpocket!" said a New Yorker who saw the exhi bition ef wealth.' "If a man bothered to steal that truck he'd he prosecuted for Insanity,' said a not too loyal Cplombland. It makes an amusing sight to see one of ths small Colombian ehtldnpn, without a stlteh pf elothlag on, hurrying out of a house to store with a bill of large de nomination, possibly W0 pesos, clutched in a chocolate eolored hand. "It doesn't look; safe to send a child out with so much money," said a kindly disposed American woman, catching sight of the "100" on the note. Then she got some Information and added: "Well, even a dollar is A lot of money to let a child hava." .'. '. In an office one day a man pointed to his valise standing open on the table. Look here," he said. "See what trust I have lrt my servants. It ten t every man who would dare go away and leave &69 lyhig in bag that's open " jhe listener gasped and went to look in the bag. Sura eneugh there was the equivalent of $ worth pf real money, as the foreigner soosj gets to call anything that isn't paper. ' . t Even In ths matter of small coins the Colombian keep up the deception. There is a piece made of lead : chiefly, what is called "coco ba la money down thera. There is marked "Five pesos, p m." Ths "p m" means "panel moneda'' and la to indicate that tho supposed IS Is really orth five rests. If they marked the coin to read Ave cents gold It would be the right value. California with the "no coin smaller than a nickel' boast is quite out done down in Colombia, where the pese) Is the smallest.
