He Puter Released Only incurred some expense in having the injury aftended to and submitted the bill to the navy department. The sec- retary of the navy has several times signified his approval of athletics among the enlisted men. Line officers of the navy-have of late years especial- 1y encouraged the emlisted men in ath- jetics, belleving that in this way the men get not only healthy recreation, but also added interest in the navy life.

He seemed to think he was |leading a circus parade. He {wore a loose fitting sack suit that | distinguished him n no | carried under his arm the brown paper | portfollo that he clung to all through | the last session. This portfolio is about |as usetul to Thaw as a refrigerator would be at the north pole, but it is | Thaw's one “personal prop,” which ha Fwill not permit any one to take away | from him. It cannot be said that |any signs of physical or mental provement. His face Is still unpleas antly sellow and unclean putty celor | with slight flushes about the eyes at times that only increass the pallor of his « skin.
