The treasury note is really an engraved promissory note of the United States Government made payable to the bearer, and bearing the signatures of the Treasurer and Register of the Treasury. These notes are issued in denominations of from five to ten thousand dollars. Formerly there were one and two-dollar treasury notes issued, and we still find some of these "old-timers" in circulation.
He'd keep 'em under his own eye. He wouldn't trust a bank like he would himself. Humph! I know his kind. "Why," continued Pete, excitedly, "that old feller at Bylittle is another one just like him. These old-timers dug gold, and made their piles half a dozen times, and never trusted banks there warn't no banks!" "Not in them days," admitted Ratty. "But there's a plenty now."
Not that we've known him so long ... but the family, you know ... they're old-timers. Everybody knows the Stillmans! Really one couldn't want a better friend." Thus did Mrs. Robson take meager and colorless realities and expand them into things of blossoming promise. She was almost creative in the artistry she brought to these transmutations.
I don't think it's what my people would like to have me do. I always supposed that he just rode around under the trees and made outsiders toe the mark. "I said he was a new Guard," the doctor continued, "but he said this in camp to a group of old-timers with whom he had been working.

They was wonderin' if there was anyone left that could take a relic like that out in the woods and hit anything besides the atmosphere. And the first thing Mr.

As yet we had not many acquaintances, and could not enter into the intimate bantering life of the old-timers. There was enough to interest us, however. A good many were beginning to show the drink. After a long period of hard labour even the most respectable of the miners would have at times strange reactions.
"Then the only witnesses were these four men who were gambling with him, who cursed you when you attempted to persuade him to drop his cards," Steele proceeded, "one of whom was your political adversary, men who were old-timers and opposed to new-comers, who pretended to be your friends but took your ranch and cattle.

They laughed at him, and kicked themselves for not having tapped him for a couple of hundred more. Nothing remained for Anderson but to work the worthless ground. This he did, and out of it he took over three-quarters of a million of dollars.
