It's easy enough to get money into a
bank and still easier to get it out, at
least it seeas so, if one has only the
capital with which to try the expert
mcnt. There are very few, however,
who realize the annoyances which are
caused the clerks behind the counter,
who necessarily take part In this opera
ton. These annoyances arise from the
great variety of methods and the fire.
qucnt ignoring of any method.
'Bothered?" remarked one of the
Council Bluffs cashiers, you ought to
be in my place little while to get
really true idea of the situation in this
CITY,"
The scribe suggested that such
change of occupations would be agree
able at least TO the interviewer, but the
interviewed quickly chilled all nego-
tiations of this sort and proceeded:
you would be surprised to see how
few men know how to deposit money, or
to draw check. I've been thinking of
having little pamphlet printed Civ
ing information for those doing bust
ness with banks. | don't know as it
would do any good, but something
ought to be done to enlighten the dear
public. For instance, there is one Gus
tom quite prevalent here in the Bluffs,
which is not allowable in any city
that is. overdrafts. Why, our custom
ers do not seem to think but what it is
all right any time to check out more

into shape within the next two or three
days after they thus give check. Now,

how good man may he, If he over
draws his account, his check is thrown
out. Sometimes our oyerdrafts amount
to two Or three thousand dollars, and
all in little Shmounts.
"WhY DOH t you adopt the methods of

their note. It's hard work TO get them
into any such business-like way OF doing
though"
"What else can banker find to grum-
BILE aboutg"
There's plenty. It'sstrange how de-
positOrs tumble theirmoney into a bank.
They often wait until they reach the
bank before fixing their deposit. They
then stand at one of the counters and
begin emptying their pockets, making
out ticket while their money and
checks lie around where anyone could
grab them, and where everyone can see
just what they are doing. Customers

A sLOOO-SUCKlNG TREE.

on Birds.
Mr.. John H. Betterman, an American
and whilom resident of Chihuahua.
Mexico, writes as follows to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat about a singular
discovery which he recently made:
| have taken much interest in the
study of botany during my sojourn in
this country, the fora of which presents
one of the richest fields for tho scien-
tist in the world, and have wandered
some distance from town on several oc-
casions in my search for specimens.
On one of these expeditions | noticed
dark object on one of the outlying
spurs of she Sierre Madre noun tains,
which object excited my curiosity so
much that / examined it carefully
through my field-glass. This revealed
that the object was tree or shrub OF
such an unusual appearance that l re-
solved to visit the spot.
i rode to the mountain, the sides of
which sloped sufficiently for me to make
my way on horseback to within few
rods of the summit. But here | was
stopped by an abrupt rise SO steep that
| despaired of reaching IL even on foot.
went around it several times seek
ing for some way TO climb up, but the
jagged, bectling rocks afforded not the
slightest foothold. On the top of this
knob stands the tree i had seen.
From the spot on which | now stood
could see that IL somewhat resembled in
form the weeping willow, but the long,
dropping whip-like limbs were OF dark
and apparently Shiny appearance, and
seemed possessed of horrible life-like
power OF coiling and uncoiling. Occa-
sionally the whole tree would seem a
writhing, squirming mass.
My desire to investigate this strange
vegetable product increased on each of
the many expeditions / made to the
spot, and at last L saw a sight one day
which made me believe had certainly
discovered an unheard-of thing.
A bird, which had watched circling
about for some time, finally settled on
the top OF the tree, when the branches
began to awaken, as it were, and curl
upward.
They twined and twisted like snak es
about the bird, which began to scream,
and drew it down in their fearful en-
brace until lost sight OF it.
Horror stricken, | siezed the nearest
rock in an attempt to climb the knob.
] had SO often tried in vain to do this
that l was not surprised when | fell
back, but the rock was loosened and fell
also.
1t narrowly missed me, but / sprang
up unhurt, and saw that the fallen rock
had left considerable cavity. | put
my face to it and looked in.
Something like cavern. the floor OF
which had an upward tendency, met my
sight, and felt a current OF fresh air
blowing on me, with dry earthly smell.

N SBRAsKA CITY, Neb., May 49,
[Spe alal to The BEE. The arrest OF
the .id colored man, Ben Knight, few
days Ago, for committing murderous
assault on a prominent citizen, has
broug ht to light an interesting state OF
affair lamong some of the colored peo-
pie Of ehls city who regard Knight in
the lignt of a wizard or hoodoo. Many
of them look upon the old man with
fear and awe, and believe him capable
of accomplishing many wonderful and
unnatural things. He claims these un-
earthly powers and pretends to exercise
them. Colored superstition credits him
with power to destroy life by few
MYSTERIOUS ACTIONS,
consisting mostly of boiling herbs
and saying magic words. knight
has for ten years lived in
hovel, the inside OF which has never
been seen by any other person, and he
guards it with a jealous care. ColOred
people give his habitation n wide berth &,
aud would just as soon think OF dying
a horrible death as to enter his un-
canny hut.
One Of his great feats, accredited by
the colored people and claimed by
himself, is his ability to converse with
and understand the language of ami
mails. The old man could be seen sit
ting by the side of an old dog or cat, and
talking with them for hours at Il time,
and occasionally laughing at funny
reply from his companion. He would
even translate
HORSE AND DOG LANGUAGE
sometimes for the benefit of some white
friend in whom he had confidence. His
recent trouble grew out OF this horse talk.
He approached horse belonging to
another man and opened a conversation
with the animal, and the latter ex-
pressed wish to go with Knight
whom he wanted to adopt as daddy,
according 70 Knights translation
When the latter tried to coax the horse
along the owner objected and a muir
derous assault was the result.
A FEMALE COMPANION.
1t is said of knight that some twenty
years ago he took il into his head to get
u wife, or rather female companion
and his methods of bringing IL abou,
confirmed the superstitious belief in his
uncanny arts. He shut himself up IL
his house and burned roots and boiled
herbs and became mysterious. The
ashes Of the former he scattered to tn.
liquid of the latter, while at night hi
chauted unearthly songs. After tn,
seventh day there arrived at his hut ,
strange young colored woman, footsor,
and tired, having Travelled
all the way from som,
southern point in answer to hi
call, and he took her as his wife. The.
lived together a number of years AM
