But all money is only somebody's promise to pay, a government's, a banks or an individual. No money is better than the name on it, or better than the credit of those who declare it worth" so much an ounce. The money that you will get In exchange for your check, or as pay for your work, will be as good as any money you ever got. Only at first, as it is a new kind of money, be a little careful about counterfeits. This advice is for business men especially Nobody really knows anything about money. It Is a mystery like Men use it, deal In it, electricity. and do not understand it. Judge William Doran, of Los Angeles, told this story today; A man found a ten dollar bill with an unusual ink spot on It. He used it In paying a tailors hill. The tailor paid his grocer. The grocer paid his hired man. The hired man paid his rent, the landlord used the money to pay a bill for the individual who had originally found the $10 note, That individual noticing the same ink spot, mused philosophitook the ten dollar bill cally, to his bank. The banker said this Is a counterfeit, and under the law I must destroy it, and did so. Hut the man who originally found It was no worse off than he had been. , And that counterfeit ten dollar bill had paid fifty dollars in other bills, perfectly satisfactorily. The hills were all settled satisfactorily and the ton dollar bill was back in the' hank and destroyed as a ten counterfeit.
