The new man at West Point has one
misfortune to endure throughout the
first few weeks Of his course-he must
suffer the pangs of homesickness. lie
has entered upon course of disci-
pline quite unlike anything in his cx.
perience. Every act of his daily life
is regulated 10y an innexible system.
He has no friend at hand; the word
sympathy seems TO he unknown.
Older cadets look on understand, pity,
but give no sign. II. Irving Hancock
says in Life at West Point:"
IL is a common sight for a cadet cor.
poral, going into the room OF 'plebe,"
TO find him seated az his table. pen in
hand and a sheet OF paper before him,
staring blankly at the paper or the
wall The cadet corporal takes in the
scene before him.
"Homesck, mister?" he asks.
"Yes, sir'' replies the plebe, looking
shamefaced.

The plebe wondering how II is that
the cadet corporal is such n mind read

him and slowly tears It up.
That's right" says the corporal.
Then, with a momentary touch Of SYM
pathy, he goes on: Don't get down

It's tough on you, but when you've

Then the corporal glanccs about and

"See here mister" he remarks

duties of the soldier. Your shoe brush

Cheese ns Food,

"People should know and value bet
ter cheese as food" said a physician
the other day I'm discussing the diet
question. 1T is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest, but
nothing is so easily digested as any
of the imported cheeses and nothing
IS more nutritious. Weight for weight
Roquefort, Brie, Camembert and Swiss
cheeses are more nutritious than the
best beef or steak. They are more
easily digested, and they give the same
sort of nourishment that is derived
from fresh meat, so that in the time of
a meat famine the well cured and well
aged imported cheeses are the best sub
stltute that can be found for beef, and,
as consumed, the best Of cheese is
cheaper. A twenty-five cent Brie
cheese, for instance, will feed more
persons and nourish them better than a
dollars worth Of beef. Two ounces of
these cheeses have the same food value
as pound of the best prime beef"

Mlssoula, Mont. Oct. 24.-An eastbound pas
senser train on the Northern Pacific was held
up last night near Drummond, Mont forty-five
miles from this city, and Dan" O'Neill. the en-
gineer was killed. The train. which included
mail, baggage and express cars. and nine
coaches, arrived at Missoula at 1920 D. m and
proceeded eastward after short delay at this
stanon 1t arrived after midnight at a place
TWO miles west or Drummond. Here the train
was signalled TO stop. and the engineer slowed
up While doing so. he saw a man creeping
toward him over the tender. The man. who was
armed. called 10 VNeill to stop the train in
stantly.
The engineer took in the situation at once
and. pulling open the throttle tried 10 stalt the
train al full speed. The robber OWNED ONeilPs
purpose. and killed him at his post He then
proceeded TO rifle the express and mail cars.
Tie nundered the regular mail, and blew open
the ssfe in the express car which was wrecked
by the explosion. The amount OF plunder which
he secured is not known at present, but it is
supposed 10 be large.
The excitement on the train was intense. The
sudden stoppage OF the train followed soon by
the explosion spread alarm among the train
hands and the passengers. The darkness Of the
night and the loneliness of the place added TO
the general terror. Word Of the attack was
sent TO Drummond from where n was tele-
graphtsd 10 Deer Lodge. about fifty miles away.
Bloodlaounds were sent out at once and steps
were taken TO keep vigilant watch for the
robbers.
1t was assumed that at least eight men were
engaged in the holdup. but the latest advces
are IN at one man alone perpetrated the murder
and robbery. The robber boasted that he
