LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of Officers and d.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York; Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson Of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees; on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust."
He also realizes. that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to adj
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudiaous and exact
ing details to which 1t Is impossible
| for you to give personal attention. My
| long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch OF
the company's. working organization
gives me, as / believe, a profound ap
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shout
ders, but of the standards Of efficiency
the standards Of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders ir
this high Office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels thai
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short O
performance. MY thanks. therefore,
he continues, "for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reacl
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words: they must be read out 0

The uproar that he makes.
He's always acted just that way
Since first he learned to toddie.
One thing at least tits safe to say:
He's not a mollyeoddle.
He makes his little sister cry;
He beats the smaller boys
To shoot the teacher In the eye
Is greatest of his joys.
We cannot say just where or now
Such things got in his noddle.
Our only comfort is to VOW
He's not mollycoddle.

A GOOD HORSE SAVED
McCormick Is Vel Paid for His
Care of GlOrifer.

Jimmy Mccormick deserves all credit for saving
a good horse to the turf For months of patient
care he got full reward yesterday when Glorifier
a rejuvenated cripple. the historic Metropoll-
tan Handicap.
Glorifer is a fve-year-old chestnut horse by
Hastngs-Glory. lie was bred by August Bel
mont and sold as a yearIing at a time when
Mr. Belmont decided to retire from active racing
for year or two. Jimmy Mccormick bought him
for l.. V. Bell for $2.O00 and later when Mr.. Bell
retired from racing Mccormick took GIorifer. as
he had great fondness for the horse which, as Il
two-year-od, the colt half OF the Matron
Stakes and other good races.
Glorifier broke down a three-year-od. He
split hoof and developed bad quarter crack
which necesstated his being thrown of train
ing. Mr.. Mccormick waited patiently for him to
come around but one foot had hardly healed when
he split the other. and more time was needed. He
came back to the last year a fair horse. al
though his tendons behind were none too strong.
Mr. Mccormick almost despaircd of curing him,
but took him to New Orleans, where he improved
to such extent that he won a number of good
races.
His victory in the Carter Handicap on tho open
ing day Of the metropolitan racing season is still
fresh in mind, and his victory yesterday gives him
a forward place among the best horses in training
Mccormick will now point him for the Brooklyn
Handicap and it is safe to say that ne will not be

August Belmont was greatly pleased with Oke-
