Miss Brady, as usual, ably projects her emotional scenes...

On pieces of specially prepared paper, seven and one-eighth inches long, three and one-eighth inches wide, he made minutely detailed engravings, including the arresting words: "This certificate is a legal tender in the amount thereof in payment of all debts and dues public and private. Acts of March 14, 1900, as amended...
