"The way some cashiers pay oat
mall bills In exchange for large one
must make other men aa tired as It
wearies me," remarked an observing
business man to another Washing
fonlan aa they watched the cashier of
a fashionable uptown cafe pull at and
trip the one and twos In exchange for
a ten aa though be were palling a piece
of molasses candy over a hook and
hated to let go.
"It does," acquiesced his friend, who
happened to be a United States treas
ury xpert. "The way some cashiers
Jerk, snap and poll at bills as they pay
them out la utterly absurd. The old
adage about -pinching a silver dollar
until the eagle screams pales before
the way the up to date flip cashier
Jerks the long green he handles.
"In this connection I will give you a
fact that la not generally known, and
that la the weight a new treasury sin
gle note, and four notes In a sheet, will
sustain without breaking. The figures
may be accepted aa official and ao
curate.
"A single treasury note measures 84
inches wide by 714 Inches long and
will suspend 41 pounds lengthwise and
91 pounds crosswise. Notes are printed
four to a sheet A sheet will Buspend
108 pounds lengthwise and 177 pounds
crosswise.
"The remarkable strength of a Unit
ed States treasury note may thus be
seen at a glance, and I venture to say
that not one person In a million would
hare guessed the great tenacity of the
paper which, when properly printed
and stamped, becomes good money."
The cashier had Interestedly listened
to the treasury expert's explanation of
the weight sustaining and necessarily
resisting power of wear and tear of
ur paper money, and then he said:
"You see, It Is this way: Bills stlcr
together, see, and we cashiers have to
make up any shortage out of our own
pockets, and thaf s one reason why we
snap and jerk the bills so hard, so we
will not pay out two for one, as might
be done. Again, a two dollar bill is fre
quently mistaken for a five, and vice
versa, and by counting out our money
as If i t were drops of our lifeblood we
are less liable to pass out one for tint
other." Washington Star.
