Grants Dement'S as n Cadet.

Grants page of dement's at West
Point shows scarcely a single mark for
any real offonse against good conduct.
They are mainly "lates" and negli-
gences Hewas late at church, " "late
at parade, "late at drill" He was a
growing 10y and little sluggish of a
morning no doubt. Once he sat down on
his post between and in the morn
ing. For this he received eight dement's.
Twice in his second year as squad march
er he failed to report delinquencies in
others and received five dement's each
time. His amiability led to this Once
he spoke disrespectfully to his superior
officer ON parade. The provocation must
have been very great to have led to this.
The probabilities are the officer was
mistaken. -Hamlin Garland in No

The Whaling Industry,

The trials and tribulations Of the
Whaling industry defy the mea9er JUS
tice which the resources Of a single par
agraph affords. A volume might cover

mammals decline to be regulated by any
signal service reporter and refuse in
their migrations to respect precedent or
the ambitions Of the arctic oil works.

euipped vessel and sailed into the lat
itudes of winter. There Inc found an an
tique steam whaler, the Reindeer, and
for two long and weary years they have
kept each other company in the close
knit sisterhood Of misfortune. Once dur

whale, and Captain Green cncompassed
its capture. A lowhead it was and no
