GOOD FIGHTING TIMBER.
Fifty-one Young Officers Soon to Graduate
at West Point.
Especial Correspondence

at West Point.
Especial Correspondence
WEST POINT, June 1.-The military
academy at West Point is still very
much to the front, Notwithstanding that
the cry of fashion and jingoism is ''The
navy! The navyp On June II the
military academy will turn loose on
the service 81 young officers. They are
cadets when graduated, for their di-
plomas confer no title. In this diploma,
however, they are recommended to Pres
ident Cleveland for appointment, and
every one of those who comes up to the
high standard demanded from West
Point students is pretty sure of COM
mission and appointment at once, since
it is fact, given to me on the authority
of one Of the Oldest members of the fac
ulty of the West Point academy, that
hitherto they have never been able to
graduate class that fills all the vacan-
cies and openings that occur in the serv-
ice annually. T number falls short by
from five to ten.
People have an idea that West Point
cadets do not do much of anything but
attend to their brass buttons and revel
in hops. That is mere nonsense. They
do attend to their buttons and all other
articles of clothing most scrupulously.
The government makes them. If every
seam isn't just SO, If q collar isn't clean
or if bell button is off a coat, the boy
is skinned" in cadet parlance. In
plain, unadorned English, he is reported
and receives demerit marks. AS to the
traditional ''hop cadet" of West Point,
the only chance to hop these 81 cadets
who graduate this year have had has
been every other Saturday night during
the winters at their own or what is called
the "cadet hops" They don't have much
chance to attend hops; they have towork.
On June Is the green class comes in.
1t is so green too. At this time they are
known as sbeasts." They have to be
taught how to stand up and also how to
look an officer square in the eyes. It
takes months to drive those two things
into their muscles. They are also taught
to tell the truth. People who do not
know West Point Familiarity are unable
to appreciate how important portion
of the West Point education this matter
of honesty is.
It is one of the traditions and one Of
the necessities of West Point instruction
that truth shall be made to appear to the
cadets as a very desirable thing. Some
times Of course this fails, but generally
there is no place among the cadets at
West Point for boy who cannot be
taught to tell the truth and not to pre-

One of the Greatest Dangers
to be Avoided.
Read This if You are Going.

Likely to Cause TroubIe-How the Dan
gers May be Averted-Cleanse and Puri-
fly your System and Microbes Will Find
no Judgement in Your Body.

The coming summer will be alive with
interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera
threatens us, and the Columbian Exhibi-
ton diverts our thoughts topleasanter
things. Everyone is awake to watchful-
ness in the former, and all are hoping the
scourge may be kept away.
Scientists state that Cholera is always
introduced into the system through the
stomach.
The food we eat and the water we
drink are our sources of danger.
e .sCholera," says one, will not develop
if the person exposed is perfectly healthy.
! 1t is the weak, debilitated and improper
lYnourished who are prey to epidemies."
s Here is the danger to many.
The Worlds Fair will tempt them to
Chicago. A change of water,-at all
times more or less harmful, lis doubly
dangerous, from the fact that the city
water of Chicago has been pronounced
vile and unfit for drinking purposes.
Spring waters will be sold, of course, but
their origin will be unknown, and the
temptation to quench ones thirst at every
opportunity will often be yielded to, re-
gardless of consequences.
Careless eating and drinking, if the
system is run down, will be sure to pro-
duce, if not Cholera, at least an attack
of some sort.
Officials will be on the alert for cases
of suspected sickness.
How would you feel in a strange city,
hundreds of miles from home, to find
yourself in hospital, cut off from all
communication with your friends
Then look out !
Fortify your system now with the
timely use of Kings Sarsaparilla, med
icine commended by the medical pro-
fession as a-preventive of disease.
Put your system in perfect order by a
few weeks use of Kings Sarsaparilla
and you need have no fear. You will
find yourself able to withstand fatigue,
your muscles will be strong and hard,
your nervous system as reliable as a
piece of fine machinery, your digestive
organs able to asslmmilate all kinds Of
food Your attacks of indigestion, fire.
quent headaches, loss of appetite, ina
bility to sleep, and all other indications
of debility will have passed away never
to return.
Then you cam Eat, Drink and Travel
with Impunity, feeling Safe in the Fact
of your Vigorous Health.
5 Kings Sarsaparilla is prescribed by
many of Names leading physicians as
the ideal remedy, for purifying the
blood and arouSlng vitality.

READY TO GRADUATE.
varicate. A man finds himself reported
if he doesn't tell the straight truth.
Then he gets to telling the truth because
he is punished if he doesn't, and finally
a lie becomes SO hateful that the cadets
of their own accord scorn and ostracize
man who habitually bubbles with the
truth.
The first year is a hard one for boya
who are without habits of application.
Happily for the green class, they go into
camp on the plain at West Point shortly
after their entrance, and in camp Of
course they are allowed more privileges.
All cadets get out of bed at o'clock,
whether in camp or in cadet quarters.
They have to fold up their bedding &C.
cording to rule, arrange every article by
rule, brush up their own rooms, and it
doesn't make any difference whether the
boy is heir to 81. O0O, 900 or whether he is
the son of a stonemason, he obeys rules
and tends to his own rooms.
No cadet is allowed to have any money
to spend unless his people have deposited
800 for his outfit. Forty-fve dollars are
allowed every cadet each month to cover
his expense, his board and clothes. He
is required, however, to buy everything
at the commissary department, where
everything that is supposed to be neces-
sary to the cadet during his four years
is kept. If he is in debt to the academy,
as he generally is, and is seen spending
money, he is reported and marked for it.
Cadets are not allowed in officers houses
or to visit any but cadets quarters ex-
cept on Saturday and Sunday. They can
only have such articles in their rooms as
the regulations permit. No trunks are
included in this list Of articles, and the
only time during the week that a boy is
allowed to see his trunk is on Sunday
morning, when, if the authorities are
favorably disposed, he is allowed to go
to the trunkroom, Everything is done
by rule, but the boys seem happy and
thrive omit, -
The visiting board makes its annual
inspection the first week in June, which
is great month in the cadet calendar.
For 10 days the first class while they are
graduating are heroes. At midnight on
June II the second class men become
first class, and then they are the great
men of West Point. The third class is
bigger than it was five minutes before
the expiration of June II, and the poor
fourth class sheds it's title Of ''plebe,"
becomes ''yearling' and is now eligible
for introduction to all the girls, upon
whom up to that time they have not
been even privileged to look. After grad
uation the graduates take the first ferry
boat, and the faculty takes vacation for
two months, while the third class, which
is the furlough class, goes home.
1t is not the intention of West Point
to turn out graduates who can handle
situations with book learning or what
they have been taught to do like parrots
in just that case. The whole end and
aim of West Point is to ground young
men in all the principles of modern war
fare and teach them to reason for them
selves SO that they can apply principles
to situations. MRS. MCGUIRK.
