The man In uniform In the bank Is a good deal more than a sign post. From 9 A.' M. until after hanking hours he stands there apparently fot the solf- purpose of directing strang ers to the proper windows But there ! Is a good deal more that he does. That is why at the larger banks fhere are few among the doormen who have not been policemen.Many of them were sergeants or captains. The chief duty of these men Is to watch faces and warn the tellers of men they suspect Most of them are familiar with the faces of the old crooks and are able to pick out the new crooks almost instantly. The knowledge of faces that some of these doormen possess Is remark able. A story is told of George H. Hewitt, who for thirty-one years has been the doorman of the First Na tional Bank, New York, which is typ ical of all these men. A man came in who fifteen years before had been a depositor at the "bank. He had gone to Europe, and after that lapse of time had come back with a beard and fifteen years more of life on his shoulders. As Boon as he entered the bank Hewitt was thrre with his greeting, "Good morning Mr. Farr," as though the man had been away for but a week. There are probably tec thousand men who in the course of a decade deal with the First National. Hewitt knows every one of them. There is another duty that these doormen perform. Often during the course of the day one of the clerks !s sent out with a large sum of money to another bank. The doorman al ways accompanies him to see that *iis progress through the crowded street.* is not interrupted by some crook who knows the value of the roll the clerk carries with him.. The oldest bank doorman in New York is George H. Hewitt of the First National Bank. In the old days the police force stationed men at many of the larger banks. Hewitt was one of these men. He has been there ever since, now more than thir ty-one years. His partner John Budd. has been in the employ of the bank for six years and hefore that was on the police force for many years. The only police captain in this bus iness is Francis J. Kear of the Cen tral Trust Company. Kear retired on his pensien,, bat instead of living In Idleness is to be seen every day watching the faces that- enter the tr>st company, lordting for old ac quaintances in the crooked world. Another old timer is Christopher Smith of the Merchants Bank. Smith had the^post at Broadway and Cham bers street for eighteen years. There was not a prominenr New Yorker in the old days that he did not know. One day President Grant was cross ing the street there when a truck came tearing around the corner Smith grabbed the President just in time and saved him from injury. The General turned to him with a humor ous expression on his face and said: "You are the first man who ever jerked me around like that." After that whenever Grant passed that way he had a cigar for the officer on the post. Smith has tales to tell of all the men of that day, Arthur, Tilden, Tweed, Roscoe Cohkling. Thera is not a Judge that, he did not know, nor a mayor. Army Education. The conditions confronting officers and men who have children to edu cate, are simply pitiful. Many an officer is at this moment in debt, and paying interest on borrowed money, so that he' may send his son or his daughter to a good school, or keep them In some dty where their educa tion will be continuous and uninter rupted. No matter of domestic tsoncrmy touches officers more deen ly than than this of the children's education. It is true that the public schools of a city,' if the post be near a city, are generous* in taking boys and girls in, and some do so for a. tuition fee; but it is, nevertheless, a fact that an army officer cannot demand local schoj1 service as a right, because of his profession and his residence on military reservation. Even whet aea ? a city, the post Is outsi?e of it. and the children spend from two to four hours daily travelling behind army mules to and from the school house. w The so-called "post schools" now established, and to which children are sometimes sent through absolute necessity because of isolation, are a farce, for the officer having the high scunding title of "Superintendent of Post Schcols," is generally so fully occupied with other engaging military duties that he can give little or no attention to the school development and system, while the man who Is teacher has usually never acted in thi capacity before. Again, officers and men are so changed about that the education of the children is subject to sad and costly Interruptions, as they frequent ly go back one grade in their trans fer from one locality to another. Is there not a remedy for this? West Point represents hundreds of 6imilar, though smaller cases, and these children are as lusty, as loyal and as American as any the nation produces.?Army aud Navy Life. Patrolmen in Various Cities.

Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Orangeburg Citizen Can Afford to Ignore. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale ,and foamy, or a thick red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi ment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. E. Starton, well known !n Flor ence, S. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills helped my back after every thing else had failed, and after I had thought that my back was worn out. They made it stronger than it had been for five or sb: year? and seemed to put a new backbone in me. I have had a terrible time with back ache which was groatly aggravated by my work and at times I had to lay off for I could not work on ac count of the acute pains across my loins. I could not begin to teM you all I have suffered. The secre:.;ons from my kidneys also bothered me, were very dark In color and con tained sediment, being also too fre quent in action and annoying me during the day and preventing my resting well at nights. I applied plasters and rubbed my back with liniments hut nothing helped me un til I read about Doan's Kidney Pills aud procured a box. They were just what I needed and are the best back ache remedy I ever used. I have not had backache since I used them, the kidney secretions are all right, I can sleep all night without having to get up and my back is stronger than it has been for a number of years."

FOLKLORE REGARDING MOON No Object In the Heavens Ens In spired the Fancy of Mankind So. No object In the heavens bas in spire.! the fancies and imagination Ol LudllRlIlU ..O UlUCIl .!?> tue LuUOO. The ' suni.'gnt shows tnings. as they are, but the moon spreads a halo over the most unsightly ohje( ts. makes a fairyland out of fence cor ners and covers the whole landscape with glittering silver. The moon plays an important part in the folk lore of almost every nation. The blithe outlines on its surface have represented both men and aai niais. The moon lias had its wor shippers, and always there have bten popular notions about its importance in husbandry and its influence on human destinies. An interesting relic of the prime val superstitious of the Aryan race it' the taneiful idea that the lunar spots are not meaningless outlines but representations of human beings and different kinds of animals. The imagination of moor gazers has led them to see a man in the moon, a woman, and such animals as the hare, toad, cat, dog, fox and lion. No one Knew tor certain what the outlines on the surface of the moon really meant until the invention of the telescope in 1608 when it was learned that they art mountains. Almost every nation in the world has its stories about the man in the moon, who he is and how he hap pened to be there. Many of the different legends agree that the man in the moon was exiled for some crime, but they differ as to the nature of the offence. Cain, Judas, Iscariot and other criminals mentioned in the Bible have been consigned to the moon by popular fi'HCJ* v A story of the man in the moon that originated among the Germans is the one that has tfecome the most popular. According to this the man was found gathering fagg"ots on the Sabbath, and for this crime was transferred to the moon to bear his burden until the end of time. Ages ago an old man went into the woods one Sunday to hew sticks. He cut a large bundle of faggots, threw them across his shoulder and began to trudge homeward with nis burden. On his way he met a handsome man In Sunday suit, walking toward a church. The stranger stopped and asked the faggot-bearer: "Do you know that this is Sunday on earth when all must rest from their labors?" "Sunday on earth or Monday In Heaven, it's ail one to me," laughed the wood-cutter. \ "Then bear your bundle forever!" answered Ihe stranger. "Since you value not Sunday on earth, yours shall be a perpetual noon-day in heaven; you shall stand thro r:a eternity in the moon, a warning 10 all Sabbath-breakers." Thereupon the mysterious person vanished and the poor old man was caught up with his load of faggots into the moon, where he stands to this day. On the theory that It is not good that man should be alone, a creative Imagination has supplied the man 'n the moon with a companion. ' Tha myths about the woman in the moon are confined mostly to North Amer ica. The Eskimo Indians have a tradition about the formation of the sun and moon. ' Squirrels In Central Park. Never before have there been so many squirrels in Central Park as at present. At a conservative esti mate there are over a,000 of the lit tle animals within the confines of the Park, and how many more have broken bounds and made temporary homes in the gardens of the Fifth Avenue mansions Is a matter of con jecture. But certainly their num ber Is legion. Squirrels multiply rapidly, two litters of little ones oe ing added every year, according to Head Keeper Snyder. The ques'ion h how to provide for their hungry little mouths. No one would suggest for one mo ment that New York's little pets should be killed off, but something ill have to be tlom before lonn lo thin them out, and the only thinj; to do, so say their lovers in the Park, is to catch a number of them and introduce them into the other parks of the city. They never go hungry. In tha Summer visitors to the Park keep them so fat that they find a difficulty in climbing trees, and being very provident, the peanuts which thev can't eat they bury for the Winter. Of course, when an exceptional fall of snow makes the ground too hard fcr them to dig, then the keepers in the Park go about and distribute bushels of peanuts among them. Recently the spectacle of squirrels running about on Third Avenue has been seen, and all the gardens of th? numerous well-to-do families in the streets leading off Fifth Ave. between Sixtieth Street and Eighty fiftii Street, wherein there are trees, have their little Summer visitors. With the approach of Winter the squirrels rot urn to the Park. Has any one ever seen a squirrel in the Park that died a natural death? Keeper Snyder confessed yesterday that he had not, and so did the other keepers. Of course once in a while one is found that has been run over by an automobil a or carriage, and sometimes a boy succeeds in killing one with a sling shot, but a dead squirrel seems al most as much of a rr.riety as a dead monkey.
