i GERMANY RIDICULED ON
ITS OWN PAPER MONEY.
Amsterdam, Feb. 4.—The artist
• who designed paper money of the de
nomination of 5 pfennigs, which now
is being circulated in several rural
towns of Prussia, has been arrested
at Nieberlahnstein on the charge of
holding up the Fatherland to ridicule.
His offense lay, according to the
Maasbode of Rotterdam, in the orna
mentation on the margin of the bills.
After the money had been in cir
culation for some time it was discov
ered that the marginal decorations
consisted mostly of drawings of arti
cles of food. Above a picture of a
ham the artist inscribed the micro
scropic letters:
“A tender memory and a fond
hope.” Over a design of three tur
nips he wrote: “This is how the Ger
mans live.”
