couvfvial evening at the mess, they saw two
cadets, clad In their undercIothing and dressing
gowns, emerge from the north sallyport and
disappear down the steps to the areaway IN
front OF the barracks Instantly the thought
OF the billiard table flashed through the minds
OF the two officers, and they started quietly after
the cadets. On reaching the basement door
way Of the sixth division the two cadets en-
tered, and the officers, arriving a moment later,
saw them climb over pile Of coal and enter an
open door through which came sounds of laugh
ter and conversation and the clicking of balls.
while the air was laden with fragrant tobacco
smoke.
The officers paused for moment and held a
whispered consultation. Finally deciding that
they would tell the other officers Of their discOv-
cry and have all Of them come down the follow
ing night and enjoy the fun of a raid on the
club they withdrew and went home. Next day
all the officers at the post were informed of the
discovery, and it arranged that the raid
should occur at midnight. All might have gone
we'll, and the officers might have had their little
fun, had it not been that there were three cadets

THE STORY OF = BILLIARD TABLE.
one Of the most interesting of West Points
traditions is that relating TO the billiard table
Shortly after the Civil War the cadets. always

sought in which 70 set il Up. Until the present
steam heating apparatus was installed in the
cadet barracks, about twenty-five or thirty years
ago the heating was by means Of furnaces.
The basement Of the sixth division Of the bar
racks was used for coal bins. the bins being SO
arranged that there was . large one near the
centre Of the building v hich could only be
reached by passing through one Of the others
After considering all available places, this coal
bin was finally selected "a being the place least

Army visited West Point one June for the
graduation exercises. He accom- panied the com
mandant on his Sunday morning tour of inspec-

room he walked over to the nanteI piece. Stoop-
