An Atlanta merchant has frequent
occasion to rebuke Ike, his darby por-
ter, for his hardness in reporting for
duty in the morning. Ike is always
ready with a more or less ingenious
excuse.

In an elder day at the academy and 1t may be
so to-day, the mail bag into which the cadets
dropped their letters was hung with wide distend-
ed mouth just inside the door of the guardhouse.
Until the first call for breakfast, the guardhouse
was "of limits" The instant the drums rolled
the cadets could enter the building and drop their
letters One morning cadet stood without the
door, holding his letter in his hands. The drum.
mers sticks were poised tremblingy. waiting to
fall for the pounding out of the first call for
breakfast.
The cadet saw the poised sticks, entered the
guardhouse and dropped his letter just as the
first note of the call sounded. He had passed
through the doorway just one-sixteenth of Sec
ond too soon. An oficer saw him mail his let
ter and a report of "on limits went in which
caused the unfortunate letter mailer to perform
extra guard duty for 1s long hours-not consec-
utive hours, however.
On the first hook on the wall of his alcove the
cadet must hang one specific article Of clothing
on the second hook another article, and SO on.
II. perchance. the youth hangs his dresscoat on
the nail sacred to the overcoat, he can bid fare
well to release from quarters for two Saturdays
at least, and II, perchance, the shell jacket hangs
on the hook given over to trousers, he may add
three more days Of confinement to those which
have accrued from the crime of the misplaced
overcoat
The methodical cadet runs yardstick along
the toes of the extra shoes which under regula-
ton, must be placed in regular order beneath
the foot of his bed. the toe of one shoe pro-
trudes half an inch beyond the toe of its mate,
the cadet gets one demerit mark. If more than
one pair of shoes shows symptoms of irregular
ity in the matter of toeing the scratch the cadet
will receive a sufficient number of demerit marks
to enable him to realize thoroughly the beauties
of a right line as applied TO something besides
geometry
1t is "a beastly grind the English clergy
man said, but it is grind that has its uses, and
the proof of it is written in all the records of the
service.

army officers who have been asked in the years
that past and who are being asked today

Edgar Allan Poe was q cadet at West Point only
for short time. Army tradition holds nothing con-
corning the haxing of Poe. The academy, however
is the custodian of one of Poes first poems. which
is nothing short of striking example of the boys
wit.
While Poe was at the academy Lieut. Joseph
Lock was stationed there a tactical officer Lock
was tue StrlcteSt KIM OF q QlSc1pl1nartan, and
was constantly reporting Poe for ofenses reports
which brought as their natural consequence some
heavy punishments. Poe had his revenge In a poem

Tic TAGS" which was published years ago by the
cadets:
John Locke was great name,
Joe Lock is greater In short
The former Is well known to fame
The latter well known to report.

discipline at West Point is rigid to severity
AS Tar as disciplinary methods are concerned the
school never changes. It Is the same to-day as
1T was in the days Of Grant and Lee.
Take day at the academy and compare its
duties with those Of any other institution no mat
ter Of what country, and 1t will be seen that in
comparison to the cadets labor the work of stu
dents at other schools is but play. During certain
rnonths of the year there is little play at West
Eastnt Drill in the open air gives the requisite
exercise to keep the physique right, and for rec
reation apparently there ID no need.
The routine has changed little with the pass
Ing years. but IN . general way the days pro-
gram at the academy is like this:
Reveille at o'clock: roll call at $3.50; break
fast at 6:25: guard mount at 7:15 recitations
and study hours from s until 1; dinner, / until
7:40; recitations and study from until 4; drill
from until $50: parade at $50; supper at 6;
study from until $50; tattoo. then taps and
sleep.
There are no recitations at the United States
military academy on Saturday afternoons and the
cadets are given what is called release from
quarters" with permission to visit one another In
barracks or to roam about the reservation, Ia
king good care. under pain Of dismissal, to keep
from going on limits.
Release from quarters never comes for some
cadets. The breaking of some small rule means

experiencing the ecstasy which comes from per-
