He Believed In Playing Safe

Another story is told Of JuQge MOT row. Mrs Morrow was with him dur ing his stay in Phoenix. She asked to attend him in court but be objected on the ground that it was no place for her. She insisted that she was lonely at the hotel and that, besides, she had never been in a courtroom and therefore had never seen him on the bench, notwith- standing his long service.
 But, my dear" said the judge, there is another reason why you should not be there. If you should go to court and hear the lawyers bully -ragging me you would get No thinking that you could do it at home."

 The person is young lady, stenographer About a week ago she was offered a position in this city at a salary somewhere near $50 a month more than the salary she is now re- ceiving.
 Any other person in Phoenix would have jumped at such chance, put this young lady did not. She an- nounced she did not care to accept the offer, advancing this quite-suffi- cient reason:

 Sir. This is not funny. but tragic, but because comedy and tragedy so often walk hand in hand I submit my tale to your perusal. Perhaps it will give some of the readers of your column a laugh, for no doubt many of them own motor cars and can afford to laugh at the street car system.

 Tuesday afternoon, February A. went to First avenue and Monroe street with the intention of taking an Indian school car home. My inten- ton 1o,l will note, must have been powerful one, for I waited there from 50 o'clock until 4:20, But patience has it's own reward, and at last car came. After sundry stops ana creaks and one sidetracking, it landed me safe near my home.

Little Stories
 Of The Town

The officer broke away from the scene.
 'sI don't blame him for running from that latest barage," one of the crowd remarked, but the officer soon proved he had not been frightened away. He returned within a few minutes, bring ing with him a large paper sack. The infants seemed to be familiar with white sacks. At the sight of the one the officer had. they dropped down a few notes in the. scale until when he approached them and opened the sack, they were hitting down around high C. Two big chocolates blocked traffic from the musical subways and brought contentment 70 the singers Crowd, officer and baby were made happy.
 When a stylishly dressed man and woman approached the motor car about half an hour later, two happy chocolate besmeared babies awaited them The man and woman paid nc attention to the officer who stood patiently waiting their arrival. Their attention was attracted to pasty brown smudges on their tear stained cheeks.
 Well" exclaimed the woman, 'P6 like to find the person who had the nerve to give that filthy. slimp candy to my precious little tots"

 A Case of Identification
 It was an incident of the federal court years ago under the ministration of Judge Morrow of San Francisco There was shoal of persons charged with selling liquor to Indians. Judge Morrow, had appointed Benton Dick one of the public defenders. United States Attorney J. F. Morrison had a way of asking the Indian witnesses, sIs this the man who sold you whisky" pointing at the same time at the de- fendant The witness invariably iden- tified him as the culprit
 During the examination of one or the witnesses. MT Dick whispered to the defendant. who was sitting beside hlm' to take his seat in the row of other de- fendants. When MT. Morrison asked the usual question and turned to point, there was no defendant there r MT. Dick rose and said, Your honor, Pm sick and tired of this pointing business. Let the witness pick the de = fendant out" The court ruled that that shouId be done. The gaze of the witS ness wandered along the row of the defendants Then it took in the body of the spectators outside the bar II was turned then upon the jury box and the witness identified the third juror from the end in the second row as the wiscreant who had corrupted him with strong drink. The defendant was discharged on the first ballot.

otaer-Wont call this and tell him that you want quick trip from talnty insurance; that you want to have big load taken off your mind concerning the future of wife and children and in short that you want to have life insurance and family safe ly, smoothly, to the place of financial security that will be economical and will give you of welfare quite inexpressibe.
New Britain herald., 1920-01-19

To begin with, there is something that every decent man feels with regard to the future of wife and children that IS actually a load on his mind and on his heart,-a load that cripples his effl- ciency in other things; that either makes him reckless in his expenditures, because he sees no way of meeting ade- quately this problem of the future vel fare of his family, or that makes him nliserly and unhappy for the same reason. This load, life insurance as surnes and carries in such a way as to absolutely relieve the man of his bur- den. It starts him out every day care free in reference to future obligations in case of his sudden death or serious illness.
 Again, life insurance carries you into hrst-rate habit which is hard, otherwise, to form, viz, a habit of systematic saving.
 Yes, but, ; you say, "a man must carry life insurance before 1t can carry him. This might be true If there were not so many additional things which are in
New Britain herald., 1920-01-19

te11sely personal, in which life insurance actually carries the individual who in vests in 1t. For instance, life insur- arce policy carries you to the door of the bank and gives you welcome with the Presid dent when you ask him for business loan, and you would find, if you could explore the back of his mind, that that life insurance policy had carried you very much farther into his good graces concerning that financial trans action than you could have imagined. Again, life insurance carries you into the position of slzable estate just as soon as the first premium is paid. This is good big argument Tn favor ot the man who invests.
 Again, in almost every mans lite there comes time when he actually needs to be picked up and carried for while. Something serious has happened, a big doctors bill or an unfortunate business experience, or something of the sort, has bowled him over. At that time life insurance policy comes along and actually puts him on his feet and starts him all over again. This, of course, is
New Britain herald., 1920-01-19
Let us ask you very seriously

Have given life insurance the opportunity take you along the road of in e releasing your energies time your thought for work and for eoyents which would be impossible life insurance did for the big liabilities which we have referred.
 If life insurance does carry won't you hail the first
 life insurance salesman you think of just you would call up taxi in order be carried from place to ar1-
New Britain herald., 1920-01-19

due to the loan value which life ir1sur- arce policies always have after the first two years of life.
 Again, although life insurance policy hasn't as many lives as cat, yet 1t has been frequently found to be alive when the man who had previously invested in it thought it had died for lack of pre- n1lur11 payments. In the modern life insurance policy there is a provision which starts a reserve fund working after the premium fund has failed and if man dies within certain length of time his heirs will discover that that policy, although apparently surren- dered, has full vitality,-tl1at is to say, is payable in full to his ber1ehciaries. There are many other instances in which it can be easily shown that a life insurance policy, under all circur11- stances, carries man who invests III it. So 1t IS no longer accurate to say that you carry life insurance any more than you say you carry United States Liberty Bond, in. which you have in vested and which can at any time be turned into cash.
