Even the Watchmen Guarded.
As though the banks were not well
enough protected with all this nearly every
one of them employs a watahma1. In the
midst of fancied security these men are
not allowed to doze off. as in days of yore.
They are kept almost constantly on the
move. In various parts of the building are
placed push buttons. The watchman on
guard must push these buttons in regular
order. The time that each button is pushed
Is recorded on a time recorder in the CEN
trail office. If the buttons are pushed out
of their regular turn. or if the watchman is
before or behind time in pushing them a
special policeman is at once dispatched to
inquire the cause. When the policeman
arrives at the bank the watchman has to
sign printed blank. stating when, how and
why the dereliction of duty occurred. This
card-signing system often leads to curious
results.
The protection syndicate system also
takes charge of leading jewelry stores silk
warehouses and dealers in other goods
coveted by thieves. These firms, when
opening their places of business in the
morning, Invariably transmit to the central
station private signal. If this signal,
however satisfactorily 1t may be transmit
ted, is sent in an hour, or even half an
hour. before the prescribed time, a special
policeman is sent at once to see if every
thing is all right. The signature Of the
person or persons who should open the
store is kept on record IN the central Office.
This is carried along by the special police
man. who asks the person at the store to
sign his name. II 1t does not correspond
with the recorded signature. the person
found on the premises is Immediately taken

Lawyers Youth and InexPerience.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
1t is told of an Indiana judge that shortly
after his admission to the bar many years
ago he was lettering about a country court
house when a presiding judge suddenly
summoned him to appear in court, and ap-
pointed him counsel for a prisoner about
to be tried for stealing a horse.
But, your honor" he demurred this is
a charge which may result in sending the
prisoner to the penitentiary if the case goes
against him, and l do not like to under
take the responsibility of his defense"

case Is not at all complicated, and / am
