PLEBE WHO WASN'T RAzEp.
Captain Frank schocirel the Man Who

Captain Frank Schocrel the Man Who
Turned Tables on Cadets.
New York special: Captain Frank
Schoeffel of the Ninth infantry has the
distinguished record of being the
plebe who whipped Everything in
finish in one day and knocked OUT
his most accomplished adversary after
twenty-eight rounds, and is the only
student at West Point who never was
hazed. In the army he has gone right
ahead whipping Spaniards, Filipinos
and Chinese oBXers impartially when
ever opportunity offered.
Captain Schoeffel is 6 feet ~ inches
in height, is aggressive and redheaded
and comes of fighting stock, being the
son of Colonel Francis A. Schoeffel of
Rochester, N. Y. When Frank decided
10 try for West Point cadetship in
1887, he already had his growth. He
had heard something of West Points
physical standards, as we'll as its in--
tellectual requirements, so he went
into physical training. He ran many
miles daily along the canal path, he
swung Indian clubs he punched the
bag, skipped the rope and took box
ing lessons from the best instructor in
Rochester. When he entered West
Point he was promptly called out.
History mercifully conceals the
names of the thirty men whom Schoef-
1cl met successfully before he had es-
tablished his right to immunity from
persecution. He left marks upon most
of them, Knocked them out" in from
one 10 twenty-eight rounds, and dur
ing the engagements of the year he
supplied material for at least one ward
III the hospital With great regularity.
one particularly obnoxious upper
classman, with the reputation Of a
bully, angered schoeffel. who told him
plainly he was not fit for the COM
pany of gentlemen. OF course the
bully had to fight, Which pleased
schoeffel greatly. With neatness and
precision the Rochester youth decorat-
ed first one eye and then the other.
Then he spoiled two front teeth. FL
nally the bully Was carried to the hos
pital.
Before Schoeffel had compelled rec
ognitlon as the undisputed fistic chana-
pion of the academy, his friends of
the upper class subjected him to the
trying ordeal of meeting five picked
bruisers successfully in single day.
This test was expected to humble his
pride, but Frank sent one after an
other down and out and then asked
If anybody else had aspirations. After
this his supremacy was very generally
conceded and he had some available
time for study.

WHlTTlER's CAT lLL.TREATED.
TOMS Health Declining Since an Encoun
ter WITH Souvenir H;utcr:.

TOMS Health Declining Since an Encoun-
ter With Souvenir Hunters.
New York sun: Amesbury, Mass
The health of Mhitticl''s cat Tom, who
was the poets constant companion in
the last few years of his life, has lately
given concern to the Whittier Home
association. Toms decline is attrib-
uted in part to his age, which can only
be guessed at, but there are also other
causes.
Until last summer Toms life was
one of luNuriant ease. On the death
of the poet the house in Amesbury
which had been his home since 1922
passed into the hands of his niece, Mrs
S. Il. Pickard. of Boston, and With the
house went Tom. Then when the
women of Amesbury formed an asso-
citation with the object of keeping the
house open to those who cherished the
poets memory Tom came under their
care. In these different changes his
habits We're not disturbed.
Toms decline in health and spirits
began last summer. one day q large
party OF visitors arrived from Boston.
They were mostly school teachers, and
every part of the house was visited by
them. Several attempts were made by
them to get souvenirs, and the care
taker had to watch them vigilantly
While she was thus occupied in the
house she heard a scream of anguish
from Tom in the garden. Looking out
she saw that two souvenir hunters had
seized Tom and We're plucking quanti-
ties of fur from his skin. The house
keeper Went to the rescue and learned
that the visitors We're in search of SOU
venirs.
Ever since this episode Tom has been
a changed cat. He no longer holds his
head up in the way he did once, and
he has the appearance of having a fit
of the blues. Because of his age this
is looked upon as a bad sign, and the
members of the Whittier Homo assoc
citation are very much afraid That be-
fore long they will lose the cat.

Such being the conditions they invaria-
