SOM days ago, cadets at the An
napolis Naval Academy proposed to
haze cadet named Craig, and as q
preliminary or Introductory they or
dered Craig to stand on his head, he
refused and escaped into a room,
where he was followed by the crowd,
who attempted to catch him. In the
confusion the light was put out and
Craig managed to give one of his tor
mentors several effectual blows with
q pair of skates which he carried
He then escaped outside. The first
class men, however, laid their plans
and as Craig came out from supper
he was jumped upon by six or eight
cadets, one si1-footer being quite
conspicuous in the cowardly attack
Craig, by the way, is not more than
five feet seven inches high. He
would probably have suffered severe
lie had not several fourth class men
opportunely arrived to take part
This soon became a general melee in
the new quarters. 1t was finally
stopped by the officer in charge and
the combatants were separated"
The boys should be taught the old
fashioned idea ofpersonal honor, and
that when a man or a set of men at
tacks them, to take care of them
selves, even if it becomes necessary
to knock an assailant or two 'into
the middle of next week"

In our boyhood days it was a com
mon thing to "play horse" among
the boys and girls, which was done
by girl or boy taking hold of one
end of string, and running while
the other end was held by another
girl or boy, as the driver. Grown
people still play horse" in New York,
as may be learned from the Brooklyn
Eagle, as follows:
At recent private ball at New
York, a new figure was introduced
at the close of the german The
dancers were harnsssed by silken rib
bons in groups of three abreast-on
one side three ladies driven by man
and on the other three men driven
by lady-and thus to polka music
they danced from one end OF the
largo ball room to the other.

the safety Of our republic and the

public lands to railroad corporations,
during the time that the corporations
were asking Congressional land grant
