SECRET CHECK SIGNS
Ways by Which Millionaires Pro

if the bankers pass a forged check
then generally speaking they must i
bear the loss themselves
This system has many disadvan
tages It means that the man must
never allow his check book out of his
possession and must place unreserved
confidence in his secretary and his
staff
The private secretary supplies his
employer with any cash required re
ceiving in exchange a duly crossed
check for the amount It is the private
secretary therefore who has to protect
his signature from forgery and this
he does in a very ingenious way He
has had a copy of his signature cut
out of cork This he uses as he would
an india rubber stamp and he claims
that it is as impossible to imitate the
markings of the cork as it is impossi
ble to duplicate the impression of the
human thumb
At any rate the novelty of the idea
has sufficed to scare off would be for
gers for it is stated that no one has
ever attempted to copy the cork sig
nature
Placing a small grease spot on the
check is another protective idea
though the spot has in this case to be
precisely in a prearranged position
In a further case the check is never
torn out of the check book quite
straight There is always a little
piece torn off down part of one side
seemingly in quite an accidental man
ner
But still all these devices may fail
at times and in every case the experi
ence and cuteness of the bank officials
afford additional protection Indeed
this experience is perhaps the greatest
safeguard of all Pearsons Weekly

Sign May Serve Other Purposes
If all reports be true then the life
of the millionaire like that of the po
liceman Is most certainly not a happy
one
There is little doubt that a certain
class of criminals regard millionaires
as legitimate prey and the million
aires knowing this are compelled to
contrive schemes to thwart their cun
ning
The modern method of doing busi
ness by check has to a large extent
provided the forger with opportunities
for the exhibition of his workmanship
Therefore many of the millionaires
schemes for his protection relate to
his signature on checks and these
schemes which usually consist of se
cret marks entirely apart from the
signature indicate to the bank the
genuineness of the checks and are
mostly of a simple character
Far and away the most clever Idea
for protecting a check signature is the
one utilized by an American million
aire whose name is as well known In
Great Britain as in the States
His idea Is an extremely simple one
It is this On the back of each check
that he signs he makes a tiny blot
which looks so innocent and natural
But should the blot be missing then
the bank will decline to honor the
check This little blot saved the mil
lionaire 50000 on one occasion alone
Early one morning he was kidnaped
His captors threatened violence unless
they received 10000 immediately The
millionaire thought Then after hesi
tation for a few minutes he offered to
write out a check for the money then
and there on the understanding that samtjeIi j clemens d irr in oxford
immediately the check was cashed he cap hood and gown
was to be released and hood to match The costume is
The terms were accepted and the really more becoming as worn by the
millionaire wrote out the check but author of Innocents Abroad than his
he left out the blot He certainly had much talked of white suits for outing
great confidence In his plan for it was wear and evening dress With his tall
impossible to tell what might happen figure bushy white hair and heavy
when the check was presented and mustache he looked quite as stunning
payment of it refused as anybody when he marched up to
However the kidnapers went off to the chancellor to receive his honors
tho bank and presented the check Of although Trince Arthur of Connaught
course the cashier looked for the blot was jn the procession and Lord Cur
and when he saw that it was missing zon ex viceroy of India headed it with

ciency to those who through misfor
tune or fault were broken down He
observed the world more or less crowd
ed with men in the prime of life who
appeared to be physical wrecks though
in most instances they were going
about their business in a half hearted
manner
Muldoon opened a sort of sanitarium
where he began taking patients just
a few men at a time As a rule these
were well to do New York professional
or business men Some were million
aires Some had led the hich life for
years Others had plugged along at
business until their physical selves
were stagnated Still others had over
worked themselves mentally so that
they were in the vortex of nervous
prostration
When they got to Muldoons they
had a boss The boss was Muldoon
the professor He told them what
to eat and when to eat it Moreover
he ate along with them He told them
when to go to bed and how long to
sleep If one of the patients could not
sleep the nine hours prescribed from
9 to G oclock Muldoon fixed that pa
tient the next day so that he couldnt
help but sleep He gave the patient
extra work that made sleep welcome
and necessary
Work in a considerable degree is
tho secret of tiie Muldoon treatment

walk miles they ride they labor at

form of work is called passing the

John L Sullivan used to train at
Muldoons The professor was about
the only man on earth who could whip
the big mass of pugilistic flesh into
shape for a fight The enforced reg
ularity the prohibition from dissipa
tion were just what John L required
Muldoon got the big fellow in con
dition for his fight with Jake Kilraln
Secretary Root it is said was a sick
man when he went to Muldoons about
the beginning of August Perhaps he
had worked too hard Now it is un
derstood that he feels like a new
man
Muldoon once saw three boys walk
ing along smoking cigarettes
There he remarked are three
boys who will make scrawny men if
they live Keep the boys away from
cigarettes and from beer and liquor
and thats half the battle for physical
ffucloncy
