Continental currency notes were In
July, 1780, worth 2 cents on the dollar,
and it took a “wagon load of currency
to buy a wagon loud of provisions."
"Tightwad" has crept Into colloquial
slang. It is even iuclude»l In the dic
tionary, and Its meaning Is obvious and
well known. The man ulm can afford
to -{tend money liberally nnd will not,
though Ids companions set him the ex

It is a synonym for meanness. Ami

to be "a good fellow,” Is cquh ulent in
many minds lo lielng a tight wad. And
