valuable-his ability to read sigma

time.
1--WE, like all men who deal directly
with the homogeneous public, have our
troubles. Banks nowadays are always
ready to correct errors, and II sucn
a claim vas made by any one at tho
window he would be given courteous
attention and told that II at the close
Of the days business the balance

Frequently checks are overpaid, but
it generally happens that the time
can be calculated and very rarely IL
there loss to the bank from this cause.
Tellers are only human, and are liza
BILE to error, but their percentage OF
error is SO slight that there is not on
foot any plan at present to supplant
them with machinery. B
Every hour in the day there are
people at the window who object to
being told that they are unknown to
their teller and will have to be iden-
tilted. It hurts their sensibilities.
They seem to feel that we offer them
a gratuitous insult by doubling them,
and at these times, particularly when
the person is q woman, we have to
exercise all our diplomacy to make
them feel that we are doing them
a favor as we'll as the bank by protect
ing them from dishonest persons by
insisting that all who come for money
be personally known to some one in
the bank. A good old story is told
of Joseph Jefferson's attempt to cash
a check in Chicago bank several years
ago. The teller did not know him,
eve having see him save on the
stage in RIP Van Winkle,' and when
the famous actor came face to face
with one of his greatest admirers the
latter refused to believe the evidence
Of his own eyes, and demanded that
Mr.. Jefferson get some a to identity
him. The latter was somewhat nom
plussed that his face was unknown
to even the teller Of a bank, but be-
fore turning from the window to get
the necessary Identification, said, in
those inimitable and world-renowned
accents: If my dog Schneider va

The teller laughed with delight, and
paid the check without further ques-
ton. Nobody but Joe Jefferson could
have said it that way"

XII Hobby Of President.

lrrj4akion and the indian Promblem
Z/ Hobby Of President.
EkWhen President Roosevelt pulled
7onto the Burlington tracks in this
city last night he was informed by a
member of his party that for four
hours his train would be passing
through the most fertile part Of Mon
tana, a tract of 5000, 900 acres of land
owned and occupied by less than q
900 Indians.
While the president originally in
tended his trip to the west as one of
pleasure he is not missing an oppor-
tunity to study the needs of the peo-
pie. Along these lines he sounded
the keynote of his policy in his speech
at Livingston two weeks ago when
he declared that the arid lands of the
west should be reclaimed by the set
tiers and that the government owed
a debt to the western people by max
ing liberal appropriations for the stor-
age of the waste waters and build
ing irrigation canals.
Heartily as is the president in favor
of the reclamation of the arid lands
of the west through governmental
aid, he is none the less enthusiastic
in the matter of reducing Indian res
ervations to the actual needs of the
respective Indian tribes of the west.
1t is just such matters as irrigation
and the affairs on Indian reserva-
lions that the president is making a
close study of during his western
visit and when congress finally gets
ready to deal with the Indian along
business lines it will be found that
the people of the westAave a friend.

much about the Indian situation as he
did about the matter in hand when he
went into the subject of national irri-
cation.

Endorsed, and then pays it at once.
But you do not know all that he saw
in that quick glance. He Jaw the
signature first, then the amount, In
stantly recalling it ii 1t was in ex-
cess of the sum IN deposit, then the
date, to see that it was not predated,
and then he glanced at you to see
II you were the indorser. All that
took but the fraction of a minute, but
in these few seconds the teller had
sized you up and rated yo,; all along
the line, for we have no authority to
overpay a check one single dollar,
and are personally responsible for err
rors that may occur II we do. We
r busy at the time, and customers
in line do not like to be put to the
embarrassment Of being kept waiting
when they present a check. Every
depositor feels that he has a sort Of
interest in the bank, and when his
check is questioned he gets warm
around the collar, no matter how gen.
tie he may be at other times. He
feels that his honor is questioned and
1t makes him want to fight. These are
a few Of the things that we have to
avoid in order to make the bank pop
ular, yet at the same time we must
be alert to the banks interests.
ITO give you an idea OF what it
is to be perfectly familiar with sew
eral thousand signatures, tell me how
many you know SC we'll that you would
be willing to take the responsibility
OF paying other peoples money on
the strength Of your surety?"
The Star man, after several min
utes spent in recalling signatures,
confessed that he knew half a dozen
that would fill the bill, for the first
time realizing what 1t meant to know
thousands, and his respect for the
capabilities Of the teller growing sew
eral thousand per cent in the inter-
val. The expert laughed.
"Some men of business will recog-
nize q hundred signatures, but even
these cannot be SO sure Of them that
they would be willing to go a large
amount on their judgment. Signatures
are a part of the world Of the teller.
He becomes as used to them as the
broker does to the fluctuations ct the
stock bulletin board. He lives one
third of his life among them and when
a forgery comes to him it Is in the
face of the presenter of the check
that he, nine times in ten, reads the
guilt, for a good forgery is q difficult
thing to detect. Take your own sig
nature, for example. Do you know
that, after a year, you could positive
ly swear that you wrote it? No, and
you would hardly care to take the
risk of a mans life on your judgment,
would you? In every criminal trial,
where handwriting comes into play
you will almost invariably read that
the witness said that he thought that
the signature was genuine or forged.
but seldom or never sure of it, and
even when they say they are sure OF
it, it happens to be a handwriting
expert who says it, and he bases his
conclusions on his set of rules and
not on his rapid Judgment, as we have
to do. You will seldom find a teller
on the stand who will positively as
! sert that he knows a signature to be
good or bad. He always qualities
his testimony. But take that same
teller behind his window, and place
before him the man who presented

SIGNATURES BECOMING Diff.
CULT TO IDENTIFY.
VERTICAL WRITING BLAMED
Experience That 1t Requires to Be.
come Familiar With Many
Signatures.

"The average signature of the young
business man is becoming more and
more difficult of Identification" said
the paying teller Of a leading bank
to a Washington Star reporter recent
~. This is because of the teaching
in the schools during the past few
years of the new vertical handwrit-
ing. Although this writing is more
legible than the styles of the past it
has a tendency to destroy Individual
ity in the signature and put to the
severest test the faculties of the tel
Ter in distinguishing genuine from
forged signatures. These facts apply
particularly to young men who have
graduated within the past dozen years
the %Spencerian style taught in the
schools and every pupil unconsciously
acquired his own peculiar style as
his hand became adapted to the use
OF his pen"
The business of the bank had been
concluded for the day, the cash had
balanced and the teller grew loqua-
cious as he sat before a luncheon in
a neighboring cafe and repaired the
waste in his system that had gone
through a siege of ten hours amidst
piles of money and the varying moods
OF those with whom he had come in
contact.
you see," he went on, signatures
can be duplicated almost as easily
as a suit of clothes. There are men
in every city 81 the world who have
the power to counterfeit almost any
signature given them il they are per-
mitted a little practice, and it is the
dishonest among these whom we have
tn avoid. Therefore the new hand
writing is a constant ena to the
~tellers. for if a signature is really
forged it lacks the individuality of
the genuine, and it is this trait in all
signatures that the teller first has
to learn. I have. thrown down hun
dreds of %forgeries that would have
passed for genuine in the hands OF
any but an expert, and all because
of the lack of individuality. It is a
hard thing to get used to, but once
acquired is impossible to overlook any
more than one could fail to recognize
a friend it he happened to change
his clothes. 1t cannot be taught, but
must be acquired by the teller, and
it is this that has made me a firm
believer that tellers are, like poets,
born, not made. I think l have a
familiar acquaintance with 5000 sig
natures, and the rating behind them,
and when any one of these comes be-
fore me with a demand for recognition
on a cash basis l instantly size up
the man presenting it and draw my
conclusions from the tout ensemble.
Not only must the signature be all
right, but so must the person who
presents the check, and if he is I'M
known to me he must prove his iden-
tity and right to the money called
for.
when o present a check of your
own at the bank you will observe
that the teller glances at the face.
