SOWELL IS IMPROVING
Plucky Navy Quarterback Has No Fever
And In Suffering No Pain Today


And In Suffering No Pain Today
Universal satisfaction was ex-
pressed on all sides in Annapolis
today when the announcement was
made from the Naval Academy sick
bay that Midshipman Ingram C.
Sowell, the Navy's plucky quarter
back who, although suffering intense
ly with broken rib, played star
game against Army at Philadelphia,
is recovering rapidly.
Surgeon Riggs, medical officer in
charge of the case, announced that
the patient had no fever, and was
suffering no pain today and expressed
the opinion that he would be out of
the hospital within a week. The trip
from Philadelphia yesterday and the
excitement of the celebration after
the Navy victory caused some fever
last night and this gave rise to much
anxiety. Today's announcement
brought great relief to the navy peo-
pie and navy sympathizers generally.
Sowel's pluck in sticking to his
post, calling signals and running his
team with mastery generalship al
though suffering dreadfully, is the
talk of the town today. The break
to his rib was sustained IN the very
first scrimmage after the ball was
put into play.

Among the legends that have gath
cred around Sir Alfred Jones' name
is one to the effect that he was in
the habit of s%ignifying to an office
visitor, by offering him a banana, that
he desired to end the interview. If
the banana was accepted and the call
prolonged Sir Alfred rose and pre-
sented his visitor with a fine flower
from n of the glass stands in his
office. But sup1osing his visitor
stayed after the hover. Well, the
legend continues, Sir Alfred then Of
fered a pass to the West Indies on
one of his mail steamers, with a free
holiday for six weeks at his hotel.
1t is told, however, that on one oc-
casion Sir Alfred got the worst Of the
banana trick. A young reporter
called on him to learn, on behalf of
his newspaper, something about the
shipping conflict. When, after a ten
seconds conversation regarding the
weather, Sir Alfred's hand was stray
ing toward the banana plate, the re-
porter hooked a couple of bananas out
of his own pocket. In the sweetest
tone of innocence lie said: will you

Dear, delightful little dude, if a man she

Dear, delightful little dude, if a man should
be so rude
As to smoker at your charming girllsh
ways,
Ibn't you waste an airy sigh, don't go OF
and try to die
In some quiet spot remote from public
gaze.
If the fates were full of fun when they
built you, little son,
Try to be resigned and patient, for, you
know,
If you look around you'll find many others
of your kind
You are not the only monkey in the
show.
As you strut along the street, looking raw
enously sweet,
In the motherly protection of you cane,
As your dreamy larboard eye peeps SO
babylike and shy
Through the crystal clearness of its win
dow pane,
If a brute should send a jeer to your pinky
Don't you stagger meath the heartless,
cruel blow,
But remember as a freak you are not at
all unique
You are not the only monkey in the
show.
IT'S a selfish world, dea' boy; every meas
ure of our joy
Is polluted with a dash of cutting pain;
There are clouds in every sky, sadness
turks in every eye,
Into every life must fall some chilling
rain!
Bear your trials like a man, struggle on the
best you can,
You were made for some wise purpose,
don't you know?
Do not feel cast down and sad, there are
others like you, lad
You are not the only monkey in the
show.
When you see more manly youths honey
ing round the beauty booths,
And their attitude is that of sneering
churls,
Don't you seek a chawnce to flee, they are
jealous, cawn't you see,
Just because you are the idol of the girls.
Though you never may achieve fame and
fortune, don't you grieve,
Don't you food your tender breast with
rosy woe
Nurse the thoughtlet in your brain (f you
think twill bear the strain)
That you're not the only monkey in the
show.

Our School DAYS.

Our present life is not an end, but
a means to an end. Childhood is but
a preparation for manhood and wom-
anhood. If we set up an Infantile
standard of life, and seek to bring
all the years of childhood and youth
into subsection to it, W. fail to reach
the true life.
Now, the whole of our earthly ex-
istence is but the infancy, the dawn
of a life meant to expand and ripen
into eternal ~blessedness. We are
here to be educated for eternal life.
Whatever of present enjoyment or
advantage would interfere with our
education for Heaven, must be sur
rendered, and whatever loss OF
friends or fortune or pleasure may
be necessary to maintain our Chris
tian integrity must be accepted. What
seems to be gain in the monetary adj
vantages of wrongdoing will prove
an eternal loss; and what seems to be
loss in adhering to the right will be
an everlasting gain.-Isaac Errett

NEED NEW INSURANCE LAW
Taft Tells the Most important
Trustees In the World.
Congress Might Enact d Model For
the District of Columbia, to Be
Followed by the States.

Washington, D. president Taft,
addressing the annual meeting OF the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents, held out no hope for the enact
ment of a Federal law to govern the
companies. He advised the executive
officers to bend their efforts to obtain
uniform legislation in the States.
"You are here to secure uniformity
in insurance legislation throughout
the country" said the President.
"You are very sorry that the United
States may not find in the Constitu-
ton the right to render uniform the
insurance business throughout this
country. Certainly the Supreme
Court seems to have settled that
question. And your only recourse,
therefore, is to cur such common
action by the States that the result
will be similar to a single Federal act
controlling the business.
"The only function that the United
States can perform is to pass a model
law in the District of Columbia, and
there show to the world what Con-
gress, aided possibly by a scientific
commission, shall believe to be the
best kind of insurance law. / shall
be very glad, in so far as any power
lies in me, to encourage such action.
II have been on the bench and at
the bar, and I have ruled that men
must read their policies to know
what they contain in order to have
an understanding of what the con-
tract is, and I am conscious of never
having read any of the policies which
| have taken out, because | trusted
the man who explained it to me. But
Congress, by a model law, can effect
a very great purpose, and If there is
anything I can legitimately do to con-
tribute to your object, I shall be very
glad to do it,"
President Taft referred to the in
vestigation of life insurance as an
retrospective investigation into the
business of the country.
at did show instances which
aroused the business community to
the need of a housekeeping" said
President Taft. 81 have no doubt you
are glad of that examination, and its
results, which was the vindication OF
the general honesty and integrity OF
American business men.
81 have no doubt that the result
may have been legislation that was
somewhat extreme. The public some
times wants things done with q
thump, but in the end the pendulum
will swing back, and what is reason
able will prevail"
In the Presidents audience were a
cozen or more Governors of States,

BOASTED HE WAS A MURDERER.
Detectives Wife Charges Paymaster
Crime on laxative Man.

Providence, R. I.-Mrs. Ethel Rose.
the youthful wife of a New York de-
t~ective, told dramatically in court of
an alleged confession, which, she tes-
titled, Joseph P. Corbett made to her
concerning thefatal wounding of Pay
master Charles E. Randall, of the
Glenlyon dye works, in an attempted
$4,000 hold-up near here almost a
year ago.
Mrs. Rose said that Corbett's con-
fession was prompted by a desire to
overshadow a tale of highway rob-
berry which her husband had just re-
lated, while the witness and the two
men were picnicking in the woods
near Corbett's bungalow last July.
She said that Corbett told how the
two robbers, with their shotguns,
blew the old mans face off," but
were foiled in their efforts to get the
none by a plucky young girl sitting
beside him when she whipped up the
horse and escaped.

manufacturer swore that on the day
of the murder Corbett was working in

Christ's command to enter ones
