Mr.. Grant" said the upper classman, TO com
pare your father to George Washington In any
sense, is like unto the comparing of a plucked hen

Then there followed a fight, but it was stopped
almost instanter by some first classmen because
the place was too public.
Gen. John M. Schoheld was an artillery officer.
The army has 1t that Schoaeld had a distaste for
the infantry branch because of an experience which
he underwent during his first week as a plebe at
the military academy.
Some yearlings chased Schofield up a ladder from
the cock loft of barracks to the roof. The future
hero of Franklin was clad only in a night shirt.
When the rof was reached the cadets gave Scho-
field a rifle, marked out a sentinel's beat on the
tin roof and started the future artilleryman on his
walk back and forth with the musket on his Shout
der. They kept him at 1t with few intermissions,
from taps to reveille.
Edgar Allan Poe was a cadet at West Point only
for a short time. Army tradition holds nothing con.
corning the hazing of Poe. The academy, however,
is the custodian of one of Poe's first poems, which
is nothing short of a striking example of the boys
wit.
While Poe was at the academy Lieut.. Joseph
Lock was stationed there as a tactical officer. Lock
was the %strictest kind of a disciplinarian, and he
q SoheIohtiy iSpOIliu6 rue U OHenS6S, reports
which brought as their natural consequence some
heavy punishraents. Poe had his revenge in a poem
which the curious may find In a volume called
Tic TAGS" which was published years ago by the
cadets:
John Locke was a great name,
Joe Lock Is a greater. In short,
The former Is well known to fame,
The latter well known to report.
There Is, or was, one form Of hazing at WeSi
Point which has in it the essence of cruelty. This
consists In making q plebe read with appropriate
gestures and the proper infections, all the nice
things which the newspapers of his home town
printed about him when the announcement of his
appointment to a c~adetship was made. Imagine, II
you will, the feelings of a green youngster, as he
stands upon a barrel, reading to an assemblage OF
possibly SO yearlings, the editorial statement of the
local papers, that Henry Smith doubtless win be
made a corporal as soon as the eyes of the super

and manly figure. Henry has In him the making

In an elder day at the academy, and it may be
so today, 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 "off limits" The instant the drums rolled
the cadets could enter the building and drop their
letters. One morning a cadet stood without the
door, holding his letter in his hands. The drum
mer's sticks were poised tremblingly, 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 a sec.
ond too soon. An officer saw him mail his let
ter and a report of off limits went In which
caused the unfortunate letter mailer to perform
extra guard duty for 16 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.
If, perchance, the youth hangs his dresscoat on
the nail sacred to the overcoat, he can bid fare
we'll to release from quarters for two Saturdays
at least, and If, 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 a %yardstick along
the toes of the extra shoes which under regula-
ton, must be placed in regular order beneath
the foot of his bed. If the toe of one shoe pro-
trudes half an inch beyond the toe Of its mate,
the cadet gets one dement, mark. If more than
one pair of shoes shows symptoms of irregular
iy 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" as the English clergy
man said, but it is a grind that has it's uses, and
the proof of it is written in all the records of the
service.
Hazing is in a sense an hereditary habit. The
army officers who have been asked in the years
that are past, and who are being asked to-day
to root out the practice of 'deviling" the plebe
at West Point, did not, and have not all Of them
their hearts in the work, fer were they not hazed
themselves, and were they not IN turn hazers?
Nine out of ten of the hazed will tell you to-day
that they prohted by the experience.
When Gen. Ulysses Simpson Grant entered
plebe camp, a first classman who noticed the
boys strong build intimated to him that 1t would
be a pleasure to have him call Immediately at the
seniors tent. Grant went. There Is a rule at

The Marital Grasshopper.

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is hat they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as "grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar grass widow."-Lon'
don Chronicle.

school. lnfractions of regulations may in a
sense be termed disobedience, but they are never
so regarded in any Of the worlds schools. Boy
nature would needs be remade if the rules of any
institution were to be kept to the letter of the
law.
Discipline at West Point is rigid to severity.
AS far as disciplinary methods are concerned the
school never changes. 1t is the same to-day as
At was in the days of Grant and Lee.
Take a day at the academy and compare its
duties with those of am other institution, no mat
ter of what country, and it will be seen that in
comparison to the cadets labor the work of stu
dents at other schools is but play. During certain
months of the year there is little play at West
Point. Drill in the open air gives the requisite
exercise to keep the physique right, and for rec
,reation apparently there is no need.
The routine has changed a little with the pass
ing years, but in a general way the days pro-
gram at the academy is like this:
Reveille at 6 o'clock; roll call at 6: 20; break
fast at 6:25; guard mount at 1915; recitations
and study hours from s until 1; dinner, 1 until
lao; Rotations and study from 2 until 4; drill
from 4 until 500; parade at $3.50; supper at 6;
study from Z until $3.50; 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 off limits.
Release from quarters never comes for some
cadets. The breaking of some mall rule means
confinement to quarters or the walking of extra
guard tours. The boy who unwittingly puts on
a pair of white trousers having an iron rust stain
on them, and wears them at drill or at dress pa
rade, will know no release from quarters for
days.
Should a speck of rust be found on his rifle at
Sunday morning inspection, he will shoulder that
rife and walk two or more hours up and down

charge" while his more fortunate comrades are
experiencing the ecstasy which comes from per-
mission to ramble about the parade ground and
to view the hotel and other delights Of civiliza-
ton from a distance.
Upon occasion the cadets are given permission
to call upon friends at the little hotel on the res
~ervation. If, however, a boy commits the enor-
NOUS offense of leaving the main parlor Of the
hotel to visit his father or mother in another
room, and the act should be discovered, he will
never see the inside of that hotel again until
many weeks have rolled by and he has expiated
his crime by many extra tours of guard duty in
the broiling sun or zero weather or a Highlands
