Mortgage Loans.

Whilst all admit that loans secured by
real estate with good residences that
are insured, is the safest and best. yet
some hesitate to accept these loans
Why? Because, they say, 1 may need
the money or some of it before these
mortgages mature. Then the money is
left idle and the interest is lost. If the
same persons reflected or talked to any
business man, they would at once learn
how their anticipated trouble could be
settled, and how groundless their fear
is. A person with first-class security
need never be in want Banks are
ready and anxious to loan money on
Euilt-edge security. We have such Sc
curities. They bring per cent. Call

He testified that he never was in
Aberdeen in his life and that he came
to America in 1890, one year before
Jamie Thomson's marriage He said
his naturalization papers would prove
this. but his wife had stolen them. An
uncle of Biggs testified that there was
a half brother named Charles Biggs
Judge Mogan intimated that he con-
sidered there was considerable doubt
as to whether Charles II. Biggs- the
plaintiff in the case, was the husband
of Jamie Thomson. He took the mat
ter under submission, however. If he
decides there was prior marriage
the divorce suit viii be thrown out of
court But if his decision is otherwise
further testimony viii be taken as to
the allegations of cruelty by both
parties.
Biggs, according to the testimony of
his wife. has been man of many oc-
equations. In his time he has been
clown in a circus. a swimming in
structor, a dish washer, a steward on a
steamer, a waiter, streetcar con-
ductor. and now is car dispatcher for
