Woman Had Put Up with Lot, But
Last Trick Of Monkey Was
Too Much.

George F. Freeman no longer owns
monkey. He did until short time
ago. The simian was a pet for Free
man. and pest of his mother. Al
though she loathed the creature she
tolerated its presence on account of
the attachment between her son and
his pet,
One day Mrs. Freeman was planting
flower seed in a small patch of spaded
ground in her back yard. The mon.
key had watched with interest the
preparation Of the ground for the
seeds. When the planting came his
curiosity grew as the work progressed

thrust the small sweet pea seeds into

They are graduating classes more than 200
strong in these days. Formerly a class Of SO
was believed to be fairly large. The school in its
membership is fully double the size of the mill
tary academy of West Point. The increase in
the number of sea cadets is due to the great
growth of the navy, and to the fact that ship
for ship the vessels of the present day require
three officers where the vessels of the past re-

at Annapolis and in year or two the number
will be augmented by at least one-third.

was learning the ropes the training ship in
the Annapolis harbor. The older officers had to
learn many new and strange things with the change
from the old type of fighting craft to the new.
The changes came gradually, however and it is
said that the adaptabiity of the veterans to
conditions led the authorities to decide that al
though steam had supplemented sail, the best
preliminary instruction in seamanship for the
cadets to be had vessels of the style OF
the old navy.
Admiral Sands, while superintendent, broke up
hazing at the academy. He shares honors with
Cen Mills, who killed the practice at West Point.
Not long after Admiral Sands was detailed for
duty at the school there was an outbreak of
hazing, and the admiral with the commandant of
cadets went at the task of stopping the practice,
not for the moment for the month, but for
all time.
Formerly every time there hazing scan
dal at either the military academy at Annap-
oils congress would censure the authorities for
not maintaining discipline, and then would pro-
ceed out of hand to renstate the guilty cadets
whom the authorities had dismissed in order
that discipline might be maintained. How much
stopping of hazing there could be with congress
condemning the offense one minute and condon-
ing it the next may readily be conceived.
Through the influence of the superintendent
law passed which gives the authorities
much freer hand in hazing matters than they had
before. The cadet who hazes to-day can be sep

Lineup for Sunday-First
Meeting i'm Three Years.

Once more the old rivals, Davenport
and Rock Island, will meet on the
ball field in battle array and there will
be fans galore out at the Island City
park on Sunday afternoon to celebrate
this memorable occasion. 1t has been
three years since the two teams last
met and there is now no line on them
to tell what the outcome of the game
will be, but each city is already mali
ing the claim that it has the best team
in its history, which, while it is a
pretty broad assertion, tells how much
confidence it's fans have.
Jack Tighe will place his very best
lineup in the field against the Daven-
porters and he hopes to pull out such
a decisive victory as to take the ginger
out of the Prodigals for the remainder
of the season. AS one of the players
said: 1T is up to us to make them
get the habit so that beating them
during the remainder of the season
will be easy" That is just the way

Thou wantest me to go.
And whilst, with hating steps, [ trudge

When weary feet are slow.
Q Father. Father!-if some mite of JOY
May come upon me here may it not cloy
By little zest for Thee.
But make it wreathe for me a sunny

Whilst. bending down, run my willing
race
Thou layest out for me.
Enough it were for me, the winners

Await the closing in of life's gray

Or hold my hand away from pleading

Shall reach my fellows ears and call

From l1onor'S shining roll.
Then fit my brow with meekness' mod

And send me questing manhood fur

And drink the plaudits of the shouting

Whilst others welter there

Of mans acclaim. shut from mine ears
