HAziNo AT WEST POINT.
1t stlu Flourishes, But Not In So severe
Forms as Formerly.

Interview, in Louisville Courier
Journal, with John S. Sewell, one OF
the high-stand graduates of last years
class:
HAS the practice OF hazing been
done away withp"
Not altogether, but it is not quite
as rough as 1t used to be. They used
to toss the plebs in blankets, drag
them by the heels up and down the
streets, roll them down the embank-
ments OF the fort into the ditch. and
all that, but that has been pretty well
stopped. Now, it is usual. when ono
of the cadets wants to go to see his
girl. and his gun must be cleaned. he
doesn't want to do it himself. so he
takes his traps to a pleb, and politely
requests him to put them in good order
and the pleb usually does it,"
but suppose he Doesn't"
"Why. then, he gets the worst OF it.
Sometimes he is made to SIT on the
sharp end OF a bayonet or treated to a
dose of the setting-up exercises behind
the tent Or they make him chew the
end OF n rope or the canvas Of a
stretcher until they get tired. Some
times they fasten brass button to a
string, pass the string over a ridge
pole of the tent and make the pleb
stand, with his hands at his side, and
endeavor to touch it with his nose.
When he tries to get it away up, they
let it drop, and when he sees it dang
ling low and reaches for it they yank
it up high. When a pleb first gets
there he is usually very green. II he
is from the country, he will probably
eat with his knife. use his own spoon
to take sugar or his own knife for the
butter. They begin to abuse him with
volley of curses that almost takes his
breath. and when they have gotten
through with that they tell him how
he must eat This however usually
results in good. No, they keep up
hazing. l have been dragged out OF
my tent many a night when tired
after hard days work. Yes, / sup
pose the cadet officers could stop it,
but they won't and the regular officers
might do it IL they would patrol the
company grounds all night But haz-
ing is not what it once was.

WHAT the school biographies de-
signated as the great American desert
few years ago is now filled with
thrifty farmers and covered with
growing crops and fattening herds.
Where were marked impossible
mountain ranges are now busy cities
and charming health resorts among
the Rocky Mountains. Man is not
only conquering the difficulties of
nature in the West but he is over
coming his prejudices against a region
where life is not only profitable but
pleasant In few years more the
mountains Of the great West will have
rs great a relative population as have
the mountains Of Switzerland.

While every other thing on the Isthmus is
in a state Of profound depression, efforts to
infuse life into agriculture by means of new
methods, is being actively pursued. The
Panama Agricultural Society has been gal
vanized into action, and one of it's first acts
since its renewed vitality has been the ap-
pointment of a commission to proceed to the
