made into six hundred by merely adding the "S" loop to the "O,"
dotting the first part of the "n" to make of it an "i," and crossing
the connecting stroke between the "n" and the "e" to form the "x." To
complete the change it will be found necessary to erase with chemicals
part of the "e."

A check for one hundred dollars may also be easily altered to eight
hundred dollars, especially when sufficient space has been left
between the "one" and the "hundred," as follows: Add to the "O" the
top part of an "E," dot part of the "n" to form an "i," connect the
remaining part of the "n" with the "e," forming the loop of a "g," and
then add "ht." The figure "i" is very easily changed to "8."

Sometimes a small capital is used for an "o." In this case an
alteration into "Four" hundred is easily accomplished by simply
prefixing a capital "F" and transforming the "e" into an "r," the "n"
being made to serve as a "u."

Another change frequently made is to "Ten" hundred. It is done simply
by adding the stem and top part of the "T" to the "O" and changing the
first part of the "u" to an "e."

Of course, any of the foregoing changes may be made with equal
facility whether the amount be "hundred" or "thousand."

Two hundred, if anything, is a much easier amount to alter than one
hundred. It is done in the following manner: Make an "F" by simply
crossing the "T;" dot the first part of the "w" to make an "i." and
change the "o" into an "e." The figure "2" can be made into a perfect
"5" by simply adding the top part of the "5" to it.

Three hundred is not so easily altered; still it may be done by
changing the word "hundred" into a "thousand"--an alteration which is
by no means rare, and which is quite simple, especially when the word
is begun with a small "h." The modus operandi is as follows: Place a
capital "T" before the "h"; change the first part of the "u" into an
"o," connecting it with the second part, which, with the first part of
the "u," will form a "u"; change the second part of the "u" to an "s";
erase the top part of the "d," making of it an "a," and complete the
alteration by making an "n" of the "r" and "e." This alteration may
appear to be somewhat complicated, but a trial of it according to
direction will show how nicely it may be done.

"Four" is another easy amount to alter. It is done by extending the
second part of the "u" into a "t," and adding the "y" loop to the "r."
"Five" is changed into "Fifty" and "Fift
