declare, however, that he had been
positively identified as the man who
cranked the automobile in which the
cracksmen left the bank with the
money.

Jokcd with His Captors.

In addition to larceny, Mcnamara
is charged with dynamiting the banks
safe, binding and gagglng a Chinese
watchman. Mcnamara joked with
his captors when urged to confess and
said he was travelling over the coun-
try looking for a good location to
open cafe. He admitted TO the po-
lice that he was in British Columbia

He will be arragned tomorrow. For
nearly fifteen yeahs, the police assert,
Mcnamara has been known to the au-
thorities throughout the country. His
picture, they say. is in the rogue's gal
lery here and In Washington, Louis
Vile and Chicago, but there is no
record of any conviction
The crime with which he is charged,
the police declare, was committed by
four men who entered the New West
minister branch of the bank of Mon
treal on the night of September IA,
and after binding the watchman and
dynamting the safe, departed so
heavily laden with loot that they
placed it in pillow slips and sheets
and had to secure an automobile.

THERE is A REASON

Johnson & Clark of Detroit, are state
agents for the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance Company for the state of Mich
igan, and their agency Is among the
leaders in the amount Of new business
produced in the United States each
year. For the past several years an
average Of 3S per cent Of the new bus
mess the agency has produced has been
on account Of OLD Policy Holders in
creasing their insurance. In 1911 this
class of business amounted to 40 per
cent. There Is a reason for this and 1t
is simply because Of the fact that those
Michiganders fully appreciate the fact
that NO Life Insurance Company In
, the United States has Such a Record
as the Mutual Benefit for giving Each
Member a Square Deal, and that no
Company Guarantees as much in it's
written contracts. During the thirteen
years that have represented the COM
pany / have had the pleasure of writ
ing applications for the same men as
often as from Two to Five Times, and
am morally certain that there are few
If any Mutual Benefit policy holders in
this section who feel that they
have all the life insurance they
care for in this company, provid-
ed that they felt able to carry more.
Don't you think you should like policy
in such a company, too? You owe 1t
to yourself to investigate its record
and policy contracts.

awe Aim to Please"

Fault-fnding may be met in any one
of several ways. The method employ
ed by the dairyman would not serve
with some people; but apparently it
served with the lady at No. rs.
He had been told on starting out on
the route that No. rs was inclined to
find fault, but that she was a good GUS
toner and he was on no account to be
rude to her.
"Those eggs you left here yesterday
were stale!" grunted Mrs. rs on the
dairyman's second visit.
Those eggs" responded the dairy
man, blandly, was laid half an hour
before you had 'em by special, quick
laying birds imported from the Mooly
Womps Isles, ma'am, and they came
down to this very house by marconi-
gram, so you could have 'em fresh. A
bit of twangy flavor they have, but you
can rest assured ma'am. they weren't
stale.

pany, operating the Interurban. has
been figuring on running a mountain
schedule, provided the arrangements
could be made on a satisfactory basis.
Nothing authoritative has been given
out yet by either side, but the fact that
such a traffic arrangement is a possi-
bility will be a matter of much in
terest to the public. 1t would be pos
sible for the Charlotte citizen to leave
at $50 a. M, and reach Lenoir an hour
or more earlier than is now possible.
If Mr.. Nichols and the Interurban peo-
pie succeed in making this traffic ar
rangement, Charlotte will keep their
cars filled. :. Mr.. Clarence Q. Rhyme,
son of Mr.. VIM. Rhyme of Dallas, and
Miss Cora Bell were married Thurs

tonia. 1t was a beautiful home we'd
ding and a large crowd of admiring
friends were present to witness the
solemn ceremony that blended togeth-
er the lives of these popular young
people. Immediately after the cere-
mony the happy couple left in an au-
tomobile for Charlotte, where they will
spend several days with relatives.
What came near being a serious ac-
cident happened on South Oakland
street Just in front Of Hon. o. F. Ma

when little child Of Mr.. Oscar Car
penter of Stanley, that was playing on

minded or not, but the other went

It's about this ERE high cost Of liv-
ing. Have you fggered out what's the
reason for it?"
Il have" was the answer.

The Rev. o. S. Davis, president of
the Chicago Theological Seminary,
told the following story at the recent
banquet of the Chicago Credit associa-
ton at the Hotel Sherman, says the
Chicago Tribune:
"a young man and young woman
became acquainted at the seaside one
summer" he said. The young chap
became greatly smitten with the beau
ty and graces of his companion, but
a natural bashfulness prevented him
from telling her of his love and ad-
miration. A thousand times he re-
hearsed to himself the speeches OF
love which he planned to make to the
subject Of his alteration, but every
time an opportunity offered his nerve
failed and he could only stammer out
some commonplace about the waves
or the sea. One day he became des-
perate. They were seated on the beach
sands watching the rolling billows on
the ocean. She saw his perturbed
spirit and thought that at last the
time had come when he surely would
tell her Of his love.
"'My dear Miss Smith, he began,
there has been something that have
wanted to say to you for weeks
something that I have scarcely dared
to think, much less speak of. You
have aroused in me-

smile, was Just about to turn toward
him with shining eyes when the wind

Inside Information.-He was a coun-
try physician, kindly man who loved
his patients. No night was ever too
cold for him to get out of bed and ride
ten or twelve miles to the bedside of
a sick man. The whole countryside
loved him and trusted him, and many
families rose up every day to call him
blessed
But at last there came a rift in the
lutte, a note Of discord in the general
song of the doctors praises.
A woman became very i'll and her
little daughter was standing at the
front gate. A kindly neighbor came
by with an inquiry about the mothers
health.
She's gong to die" said the little
girl, sullenly.

neighbor.

Well, one day, as the workman sat

Dodgin appeared. Who are you?'
