outset that the general restraining eff.

the fact that several of the so-called

WEST POINT AND ITS BEGINNING.
How This Strategic P:a1c Was occu-

How This Strategic P:a1c Was oecu-
pied In the Revolution.
The antiquity of Fort Putnam, at the
West Point Military academy, has
been a question of dispute the last
few days, but it will probably soon be
righted, and its proposed restoration
to it's original condition, or something
like it. will be carried out. How the
military academy came into being, and
various other facts about it, are of in
terest to every loyal American. The
tract of land owned by the govern
ment at West Point contains 21O5
acres, and was first settled in May,
1923. The greater part of this area
was purchased from Stephen Moore
on September 10, 1890, for $11,OS3
TIE smaller and southerly portion was
bought from Oliver Gridley on May 13,
1924. for $4,000. On March 2, 1926,
the State of New York coded jurisdlc-
tion over that part of the property on
which the principal edifices connected
with the institution stand, and only
reserved the right to execute any pro-
cess, civil or criminal, wherein the
real or personal property of the United
States was affected"

British Crown. He constructed the

THE SAILOR BOYS MAscoTs.
A Miscellaneous Collection That H'c
Takes From the Shore.

Jack Tar is VIGOROUSLY improvident,
and most of our naval seamen, when
they get ashore, spend their money,
be it more or less with lavish hand.
Shore leave Is limited to twenty-four
hours, but in that brief time the un-
restrained sailor manages to run
through about all the cash he carries
with him. He plunges into whirl OF
dissipation and is oftentimes cheated
or robbed Of a good share Of his ready
-assats, but e percentage Of the latter
is also apt to go for any 5itss thsea assa
pens to strike his almost childish
fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's de-
light, and whatever he may come
across which seems to him to have
talismanic property he is bound to buy
1t II he can. Hence, when the pier
jumpers" as those On shore leave arc
technically called, return In well-i1lled
barges to the ship and under direction
Of the master.at-arms climb up on deck
they are likely to bring with them a
miscellaneous collection of goats,
dogs, parrots, monkeys, roosters, etc.
One sailor on the Kearsarge, either In
or out of his senseg at the time, went
so far as to purchase as G mascot
colored baby from its mother for the
sum of forty cents and came aboard
with 1t in his arms. He was not al
lowed to retain 1t, however, and the
child was eventually restored to the
repentant and hysterical parent.
How many of the mascots may be
kept on board lies within the discre-
tion Of the captain. A liberal policy
Is pursued in this matter. But mani'
festly there is O limit to the number
of those that can be accommodated.
The surplus is sent ashore without de-
lay. When the returned "pier jump
ers" are lined up while the ships
writer calls the roll to discover the
laggards, it is one of the most per-
picking duties Of the deck to decide
what dumb creatures may or LAY not
be added to the vessels menagerie.
If the vessel Is on her way homeward
from the tropics she usually carries
large variety of living presents for the
home friends of the sailors. But these
are only temporary tenants of the hold
and would not be permitted to remain
on board long.-Leslie's Weekly.

at Holly Lodge as a gentle hint to
visitors that It was tilno for them to
