of his 2-year-oht son, Frank, says th.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Schnackle laid two $.1 bills on the
bed yesterday morning, while In- wan
dressing for work. The lioy was in u.

about the floor. When Schnackle' fin
ished dressing he turned to the. lied-to'
put the money fn "his pocket. It was
not there. IleJooked everywhere. ;md
was about to give tip the sc.-ireh when
be saw the ragged cdjre" of iue of the
bills protruding from the chubby ha ruin
of the baby. The latter .had swallowed'
nearly two-thirtls of it. and was in the
act of disposing of tlie remainder when
discovered. The other bill
where to lie found.
Schnackle nought for a long while
for a way to restore his lost currency,
but finally decided that the baby -was-y)
dearer to hhn, and that he was our,
that amount. He says that in tlie
future he will be more caivfui with his'
money at least until his son is bl
enough to realize that is." bills are a
