BANK PROTECTION.


Members Against Thieves.
One OF the standing committees of
the American Bankers association is
the protective committee. To its mem
bcrs fall the work not only of warning
banks against forgers and other swim
dlers, but also acting with a detective
agency of catching and convicting the
criminals who have defrauded any bank
belonging to the association.
This branch of the work of the as
sociation, which was begun in 1894,
has proven, it is said Toy bankers, most
effective and much good has been ac-
complished by running down and pun
ishing bank swindlers. Before this
work was taken up by the association
| individual banks frequently found it
too expensive to trace and capture
rogues at whose hands they had suf-
! fered, but now that the expense is
| borne by the association the efforts to
| capture bank swinders are carried
much further than formerly, and it is
said by detectives that already the
crooks" have come to realize that there
is to be no relaxation in the pursuit of
those who defraud banks which are
members of the association.
In connection with this branch of
the work the detective agency re-
tanned keeps complete record, in
deXed, of thieves who are under arrest
or in prison and who have been sus-
pected in the past of swindling mem
Der of the association. The evidence
against the suspected is carefully
worked up and when his time in prison
expires he is arrested at the prison
gates. This sometimes necessitates a
bank cashier or teller going from one
end of the country to the other to iden-
tify some criminal under arrest.-Phila-

DOLLARS DAILY DESTROYED.
Women Experts Who Can Detect the
Best-Made Counterfeits.

Every working day in the year Uncle
Sam destroys a million dollars; de-
liberately tears up and grinds to pulp
$4,000 worth of paper money
genuine bank notes and greenbacks.
A million dollars in one. two, five, ten,
twenty, fifty, one-hundred, and one
thousand-dollar notes are daily punched
full of holes, cut into halves and thrown
into a machine that rapidly reduces
them to a mass of mushy substance.
Whenever a piece of paper money be
comes soiled or torn it may be presented
to the United States treasury and re-
deemed Sooner or later every note
that circulates among the people be-
comes unfit for further service, for it
is bound to become dirty or mutilated
by constant handling, and the United
States government stands ready to give
the holder of such a note a new note in
eIchag sc for it; or, in other words, the
goSrnment will redeem it.
che majority of the clerks employed
in this important department of the
government are women, many of whom
are the most expert money counters and
counterfeit detectors in the world. In
fact, only experts can properly perform
the work that is required; for not only
must the soiled and mutilated money
be accurately and rapidly counted, but
all counterfeit notes must be detected
axd thrown out. When we consider
that some cOunterfeiters can so cleverlY
initiate genuinemoney that their spuri-
Gus notes will circulate throughout the
country without detection, and are not
discovered until they are finally turned
into the treasury, some idea OF the
proficiency of these experts can be
gained, especially when we bear in
mind that these notes are often so worn
that the imprint on them can scarcely
be deciphered 1t not infrcquently hap
pens that these bad notes are detected
simply by the feel of them, which, in
some cases, is really the only way of
discovering the fraud; for while Il
counterfeit may occasionally succeed
in so perfectly initiating the design of
note as to mislead even an expert. it
isneXt to impossible for him to counter
felt the paper used by the government.

SEEKING ADVICE.
The Habit of Going to Others for
Counsel.


There is a certain class of women who
ha abitually seek advice. They often do
this as if they were comforting a COM
pliment upon the superior Judgment or
knowledge of hME0ar Affairs possessed
by the person sought. There are GER
tain friends that every one of us pos.
sesses who are so nearly related to us
by ties of friendship or kindred that
they are as deeply interested in our do
ings, our comings and goings as we are
ourselves. 1t is to such persons a sensi-
tive, refined woman naturally turns,
and not to comparative stranger. Yet
tie woman who habitually seeks ad-
vice seldom goes to such a legitimate
source. She comes to a person who is
trife startled and half f1attered per-
haps by the request. The woman who
does this may not be aware of it her
self, but she is often sham; she is not
seeking advice, but sympathy. She
usually desires to follow Il certain
course, and has often become so stub
bornly fixed in her determination that
nothing short of a violent upheayal OF
all her plans would keep her from it..
She will not follow advice. She wishes
merely to be confirmed in her previous
Wy formed opinion. Sire wishes to gain
sympathy with her plans and strength
of purpose to do as she prefers to do.
There are few persons so selfish or 50
tiresome as those who persistently
throw their burden of whatever nature
upon other people. If there is prob
| lem to be solved at school or difficult
example to be done. there are always "A
number of scholars who wait until GER
tain schoOlmates arrive. and then copy
the work from them. The rule is the
same in mature life. There are GER
tain people habitually too tired" to
think for themselves. They wait and
ask advice OF Mrs Brown or Mrs Smith,
who are in no way bound to them. eX-
cept as Obliging neighbors. These
women probably have their own life
1 problems to occupy them, and it is an
unjust and selfish thing to burden them
down with problems they are not called
on legitimately to solve. One of the
most aggrayating ways of the woman
who habltually seeks advice is the GER
tainty with which she holds her oblig-
ing neighbor responsible for every fail
ure that advice given her brings. 1t is
| Lard to bear ones own blunders. but
| dOubly hard to bear the blunders which
other people have committed upon adj
vice which has been honestly given.
The truth is that no one but some
person who is fully cognizant of all the
circumstances which environ an indi.
vidual is capable of giving advice on
vital matters.
1t is for this reason that even more
Objectionable parsonage, "the woman
who is always giving advice" is not tc
he tolerated She is particularly de
cided in matters judged from the super.
fetal external light in which she sees
them, and therefore her judgment is al
irnpertinence.-N. y. Tribune.

LABOR AIDS ITSELF.
An Organization in Akron, o., Finds
Work for Many Unemployed.

Ork Tor Many L unemployed.
Through the labor exchange estab-
lished in Akron, o., few months ago
more than 100 men have found regular
employment who previously had been
without work a greater part of the
time. Some even had become depend
ent upon charity.
The labor exchange is an organiza-
tion of masons, carpenters and other
skilled and unskilled workmen. II is
governed by the initiative and refer
endum and is cooperative in all its
dealings with members. An organiza-
tiOn having been effected, the exchange
proceeded to erect a home for itself in
a vacant lot not far from the main man
ufacturing district. This home is a
cheap frame structure of two stories,
but it answers the purpose. 1t was
built by members of the exchange. In
return for their labor they were given
labor exchange scrip. The lumber used
in constructing the building was paid
for in the same way.
The structure was no sooner COM
pleted than the manufacture of brooms
was undertaken. These were sold to
grocers and other dealers. The eX-
change received cash for them or else
its own checks in exchange, members Of
the organization having used them in
purchasing provisions. The manufac
ture of brooms is very successful.
The manufacture of baskets for Der
ries, too, has been carried on very sue
cessfully, and crates also have been sod
in large numbers. Another department
! to be established at once will manufac
ture butter trays and similar articles
| from wood.
The exchange is now negotiating
with every prospect of success, for the
purchase of one of six idle brick plant:
near Akron.
While brooms and other articles have
been made by the exchange, other worl
| has been going on. Two houses have
been built for members. and building
| contractors who have looked them owe
| say they are marvels of workmanship
considering their cost. A cobbler, too
| has been at work on the shoes and boots
of members of the exchange.
Notwithstanding that its member!
are paid in checks and the greater par
of its business is transacted by thi!
medium Of exchange, the local organ
ization is acquiring property. The off
GERS say that for every dollars wortl
of labor that has been done, as rep
resented by the checks issued, the ex
change has money or other personal o.
real property amounting to $1.05.
| The present membership of the ex
change is 1856, The figures will prob
ably be 200 within the next few months
Members are not obliged to work fol
the exchange, but they may do so. an(
it is noteworthy fact that the meT
associated with this new idea are thor
oughly reputable citizens of the elias
who seek to own their own homes, t.
educate their children and to presery,
the government and the government

no, 1 won't, for 1 promised. But
am astonished at Mamie Brown. Why,
she pretends to love me to death the

cool breezes of the frigid zone whenever
she comes near me again. | declare it
isn't safe to trust anybody, Jennie!
Do you say things about me behind
my back?"
Indeed, l DON'T" declared Jennie,
Indignantly. Il think it's the meanest
thing in the world!"
so do l." said Lizzie.
Whereupon the two girls spent a
brief interval in intense self-admira-
ton.
To-day Emma Reed said all the
girls in school were generous but you.
She said you enjoyed eating other folks
candy, but never paid back"
Jennie was furious at this keen
thrust, and she retorted, hotly:
Emma Reed told me that Susie
Baker said she met you the other day,
when there was a rich girl from the
city with you, and you were that proud
you wouldn't speak to her, because she
was dressed in calico; that you were
afraid your friend would think you
associated with poor folks. She says
you have beautiful eyes and hair, but
she never could like proud girls"
Lizzie's face was very red, indeed,
at this.
"Oh, Jennie, let's not tell any more!"
she cried. 81 can't stand it, and I'm
just going home and ask my mother
# Pm such a stuck-up, horrid thing"
And I'll go and ask mine if I'm as
big miser as old Nat Jones, who goes
around picking up rubbish, when he's
worth 100000"
Mrs. Dyer was rather surprised to
see her daughter Lizzie come rushing
in with such a flushed. angry counte-
nance: but she was a wise mother
so she laid down her sewing and heard
Lizzie's story.
1T isn't good plan, generally, to tell
each other unkind things Mrs. Dyer
said as she strolled her daughters love-
ly, golden hair, but sometimes it is
beneficial to know exactly what our
associates say about us. l shouldn't
have approved the plan had you told
me beforehand, but you may learn a
useful lesson from it. l have often
told you, you need to learn humility
You see, now, that great many others
! think the same thing"
But, mother, you know that isn't
true about the sleight-of-hand."
"Of course not, daughter, That was
very unllind. You are an excellent
scholar and good girl, generally
The Republican., 1897-10-07
DID tom MELVIN SAY THAT?"

Don't be discouraged, but remember
the lesson you have had, and try to
improve every day"
Mrs. Milbury heard Jennie's story
with greater Grief than Mrs. Dyer had
heard Lizzie's, because, as everyone
knows. stinginess is the most unlovely
of all faults; but Jennie was so broken
hearted, Mrs. Milbury didn't feel like
scolding her.
How much money have you, dear?"
she asked.
''About five dollars" Jennie replied.
"Well, if | were You, l would invite
all the children to a little picnic out
on the lawn next Saturday. You can
buy some candy and nuts and fruit,
and III tell Hannah to bake plenty Of
biscuit and cake, and you can have
real nice time out on the grass. That
will make all your playmates feel
pleasantly toward you; and then you
must try very hard never to let them
| feel that you are stingy again. 1t is
not necessary to be eXtravagant, but
when your father gives you a dollar
"A week, which is so much more than
most girls get, you ought always to
appear as open and generous to
! others"
"Oh, mother, l have been meant"
! said Jennie, feeling as if she'd like
to have the earth open and swallow
her up. "But | never, never will be
again! I'll get up the party, and We'll
have real splendid time"
And thus it came about that, out of
foolish project on the part of these
two girls, there resulted for once real,
genuine good, for they both improved
remarkably from that day forward.

a similar bargain with some friend,
