He has no feeling of obligation as when he barrows from a bank, and his life insurance company is ready and glad to be of service. But- Don't mortgage your life insurance policy to buy an automobile, or to buy anything else. Don't do it unless you know you will go broke without that cash.

When you consider borrowing on yonr policy, remember, it isn't YOUR money you are taking. It is your little children mortgaging their bread and butter. It is your wife giving it by doing days' work for some other woman. Even if you do fail in business, your creditors cannot take vour life insurance money from you or from your dear ones. That money is absolutely safe from every business wreck.

And you cannot save money in any other way for your family, if your business goes on the rocks. Think of this when you are in desperate need of cash. Mortgage vour home, if you must but have a life insurance policy with which you are your family can pay off the mortgage. FRED B. PATTEN, Genl.

Both machines lodged against some heavy drift, and were held stationary until ropes were attached to the axles and used to drag them out by connecting the McLooughlin car which was not driven into the stream. The women and children passengers remained in the cars while the men struggled in "the water to save the machines.

Lough''n and Brissenden stood on the bank and shouted warnings to the men in the water when a dangerous looking piece of drift wood was approaching, while the two Wiclpuetzs held to Albert Liddy's feet while he struggled under the water in his efforts to tie the ropes to the axles of the cars.

"But there are evidences everywhere that the city is advancing rapidly.

A young woman giving her name as Pauline Vance, of Marked Tree, was arrested last night by Officer Arthur Whitener, on suspicion of having stolen a pocketbook containing $40. John Whitener and Glenn Young, two railroad bridge men, had been to Jackson on a business trip, and on their return boarded an automoblie, driven by John Woniack, in which were two young women passengers.

When they arrived at the Cape, the young men- asked the driver to take them to the Prescott Hotel, and when they had stepped out pf the car and were in the act of paying their passage, Whitener discovered that his bill book containing $40 had disappeared from his hip pocket. He stepped back into the machine and while he was searching in the front of the car where he had been sitting, one of the two women who were still occupying the rear seats, exclaimed that she had found the pocket-book partially concealed under the cushion of thi front seat. She handed it to Whitener and when he opened it he discovered that the contents was missing. In the meantime Policeman Arthur Whitener had arrived and he followed John into the hotel office to ask him some questions. They had hardly gotten inside the office when the two women leaped from the machine and ran down the street.

The officer heard them when they struck the pavement and he immediately gave chase. He overtook them at the corner of Main and Independence streets, and when he seized the Vance woman by the arm, he noticed that her hand was clenched, and when he pried her fingers open he discovered that she had in her grasp $40 in bills, the amount that Whitener claimed he had lost. At first she denied having taken the money and insisted that it belonged to her, but finally she is said to have admitted that she saw the leather bill book laying in the seat after Whitener had gotten out of the car, and that she opened it and took the money. She insisted that she did not steal the purse, but was of the opinion that it had worked out of his hip pocket and fell to the seat. A warrant was issued against her, and her hearing will come up this morning in Judge Willer's court.

ACCUSED MAN SAYS LOSS IS EXAGGERATED C. F. Scroggin Tells Officials He Had no Accomplice Bond $5,000. Caruthersville, July 8 The People's Bank of Caruthersville, which recently suspended operations after the discovery of a shortage of about $22,000, will probably be succeeded by a national bank. The organization of the institution is being formed, and the promoters of the enterprise are receiving many promises of co-operation.

It is intended that the new bank shall take over the business of the old one and make solvent with its depositors. C. F. Scroggin, the assistant cashier, who is said to be responsible for the reverses encountered by the People's Hank, is in jail, having waived his preliminary hearing. His bond was fixed at $5,000, but he has made no effort to secure his liberty.

He denies that his shortage is as i- 1 1 at great as ciaimm uy me uariK. oui-ij cials, and insists that he has none of the money of which he is accused of taking. He says that he had no accomplice in the matter, but his statement in this regard is not generally accepted. An expert accountant was set to work on the books yesterday, and upon his report will be determined what action will bo taken as to reopening the bank. But little excitement was created as a result of the bank's closing and the business of the other banks has apparently not been affected.

"BLUE HOLE" NOW A SWIMMING POOL Big Crowds Swarm to Rock Crushing Plant to Swim In Lake. When the Holy rock crushing plant was placed in operation just south of this city a few years ago, it became necessary to fill up and completely obliterate the "Blue Hole." the only satisfactory swimming pool accessible to the youngsters of this city. It was a long, blue pool of water that never went dry and never grew stagnant. Tht water was never warm, but was "ist cool enough to be re-' vestige of the orig-i u'Ac has long since disap-; I where it was once located i be found numerous tracks "or the placing of cars that with crushed stone and -ubtcrranean flow that fed i swimming and fishing pool has been uncovered by the operations of Mr. Hely in his quarrying process.

Thousands of tons of stone have been removed from the solid bluff that stood'just back of the old blue hole, until at this time where once were high projecting walls of stone is found a deep receptacle of broad dimensions, going down into the solid stone until an inexhaustible flow of pure, clear water has been released and permitted to empty into this basin formed by the quarrying and removal of the rocky bluff. For a time Mr. Hely attempted to keep the water pumped out of this newly formed basin, but as its capacity increased with the progress of the work, the task became of such magnitude that he deemed it well to abandon the undertaking. As a result an ideal bathing pool has been created, and recently it has become a popular resort for both young and old of this city. When the boys began to patronize the place Mr.

Hely had a box car set at a convenient plac for their use in changing to their bathing suits. The crowds came in such number and in such variety to plunge in the refreshing waters, that Mr. Hely has provided bath houses for both men and women, and arranged hcm in convenient proximity of the big blue pool. ot the past few M'eeks, great crowls of bathers throng the banks and dot the surface of this excellent fresh w.ater bathing resort. wate Henry Gockel and family of Jackson svere visitors in this city yesterday.
