UNCLE SAM'S FREAK MONEY
III IIn That Aro Ttvenlr Dollar
On Sid Hud Ten oa (he Hevarar.
h'cattercd throughout tlio country ore
a few iileces of paper money that are
know n a "freak bills" by the otllclals
of the trersiiry department. One of
tiiem turned up hi this city not long
a;:olt bad the Imprint of a twenty
dollar note on one side and a ten on
the other. As the face showed the
twenty, that was Its leftnl value.
The deputy assistant treasurer of
the (.'tilted Htat'H, who Is stationed In
tha New York subtroHsury, was speak
ing of thiwe freaks the other day and
said tic had only seen one of them In
his life, although, be had heard of sev
eral. Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite a careful scrutiny by
three or four sets of mnpec?ors. In
most cases they have been national
banknotes, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed at the bureau In
Washington. Tbe face value always
Is recognized when the freaks come to
be cashed In at any branch of the
treasury, and the Imprint on tbe back
has no lawful status whatever.
"Tbe notes are printed In sheets at
the bureau," said the official. "Usual
ly there will be one twenty and two
tens on a sheet They are printed one
side at a time, so It can be seen that
the printer In turning over the sheet
might get It upside down and thus put
a ten dollur back on the twenty dollar
note, or twenty on tbe back of one of
the tens."
In tbe bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all tbe bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutlnlzlngly
as they should, and so the money goes
out Into circulation. When errors are
discovered, the misprinted sheet Is laid
aside to be destroyed. It cannot be
torn up at once, for every sbeet has to
be accounted for. After a good deal
of red tape. It is ground up Into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been Issued in tbe past bave found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. It Is thought that less
than a dozen are now scattered about
most of them In tbe bands of curio
hunters. Tbe official said that no ef
fort to collect them bad been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu
lation of the few notes a matter of
any consequence, Inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as In
dicated on tbe face. New York Times.
THE COOKBOOK
If the pastry be slow In browning,
throw a little sugar on tbe oven shelf.
This will expedite mutters greatly.
If tbe skin of a beet root baa got bro
ken, sear tbe part with a redbot iron
before cooking it This will prevent
the beet from bleeding.
The next time tomato soup Is plan
ned for tbe family dinner try adding
a. few slices of orange Just before serv-
Ing and enjoy the pleasant flavor which
i they Imnart
EgTpbint Is most palatable when
broiled. Cut Into thick slices, with the
Lskln on; dip in olive oil seasoned with
salt and pepper and cook on wire broil
er over a clear fire five or ten minutes.
When a cake contains too much flour
or has baked too fast. It will sink from
the edges or rise up sharply, with a
crack In tbe middle. If cake has a
conrse grain, tt was not beaten enough
or tbe oven was too slow.
If you like cocoanut pyramids, beat
the whites of two eggs till light and
stiff; mix with two cupfuls of grated
coconnut, one cupful of powdered sug
ar and two tablespoonfuls of flour;
make Into pyramids and bake brown.
The Shortest Lived Cltr.
Which of the large cities of tbe world
had the shortest life?
In tbe ancient world the answer Is
Talmyra. The period of its prosperity
extended only from 117 to 273 A. D
156 yenrs. In the fifth century B. C.
Persopolis was the capital of the Per
sian empire for thirty years only, but
this wns merely an accident of war
and politics. Carthage was the shortest
lived seat of empire, for It only en
dured about 000 years. In modern times

government was transferred to Man

the nickname the girl, who has recent

InviHtlguteand You Will Join One of
the (lubn Now Forming.
Under the club system insugnrated for
the first time io Portland by Kilers Piano
House, purchasers get tbe benefit of the
retailers' profit.
Always the first in adopting new, pro
gressive, moDey-saving, public-pleasing
methods, Eilers Piano House now baa in
full blast plan that bas met with im
mtnse popularity elsewhere, and is now
meeting with the same in Port Inn d.
On Sunday morning we advertised our
intention of forming piano clubs In Port
land, the same that had been employed
so successfully by our . San Francisco
house a short time ago. By noon no less
than six pianos were on the' way to the
homes tf enthutiastiu purchasers who
had readily recognized what a saving it
would be to them. Since then tbe growth
of llie clubs, sir io all, four for pianos
and two for organs, bas been simply phe
nomenal. Members are coming in al
most hourly, and tbe entire force of de
livery teams of the firm have been con
stantly kept busy sending out the pianos.
This Is the Proposition.
To begin with, members of these clubs
get the very beat pianos made, such as
the Kimball, Decker, the Weber, Chick
ering and others, and they r,et them at
dealers' prices, and in addition to this
the terms of payment on them are much
easier ttian in tbe regular retail way.
Tbe initial or first payment places tbe
piano in your house.
There will be four piano clubs ''A,"
"B," "C," and "D," each club being
limited absolutely to but one hundred
members.
Those joining Clob "A" now secure a
fine new piano by paying down the small
sum of $5 and making weekly payments
of 1.25.
Club "B" members pay $7.00 npon de
livery of their pianos and complete their
payments at the rate of $1.60 per week.
In tbe Club "C" series tbe initial pay
ment will be $12.00 down and the bal
ance in payments of $2.00 weekly.
Those joining Club "D" will pay $20 00
duwn and $2.50 weekly.
.Now as to Orgaos.
There are also two organ clubs, limited
to but 100 members each.
Cluo "OA" members secure a fine
new organ by paying $3.00 down and
weekly payments of 60c.
Members of Club "OB" will deposit $5
and then $1.00 weekly.
These small payments secure you tbe
very finest organs made, fully warranted
by tbe manufacturer and also by tho
bouse.
And, remember, you get dealers' prices
$05, $75 and $80 organs, with two sets
of reeds and couplers, go for $38, $46 and
$52.
Tbe fanciest carved walnut and ma
hogany piano-cased organs go to mem
bers of clubs at correspondingly low
prices.
And remember, every instrument we
sell is guaranteed by ns for five years.
These clubs are immensely popular, and
if you want to get the benefits to be re
ceived by joining one ot tbem, you had
better come in and see us today.
Although this club plan has been in
operation less than a week it bas proved
immediately popular. Members are
pouring in from all sides, one club al
ready having fifty-four members. If you
want to be sure of securing a place in a
olub you bad better join immediately.
If you cannot come in, writs as. We
bave already received many telephone
and mall applications from joiners, and
they are just as well taken care of as
those who join personally.

The Best Remedy For Croup.
From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe
This is tbe season when tbe woman
who knows the best remedies for croup
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop by one of the
children. The croup remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of croup,
as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There nsed to be an old-
fashioned remedy for croup, known as
hive syrup and tola, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. It causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re
lief in a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent tbe attack. It never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
