OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
According to Scientists Our Earth
Had Its Origin In the Lauren
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada. north of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi. is a range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al
most worn out. for they are the old
est land in America. and. according
to Agassiz, the Oldest In the world.
In the, days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe.
these mountains came up-a long is
land of primitive rock with universal
ocean chafing against its shores. None
Of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting Of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
of the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
of the country would have showed a
large island which Is now northern
Wisconsin. and long thin tongue of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, and these two
growing states looking out over the
waters at the mere beginnings of
mountain ranges east and west. They
were waiting for the rest of the Unit
ed States to appear.-The Atlantic

Silence and sleep reigned through the old

ure-seeking cadets in whose bunks with their
heads well covered with blankets, lay their
self-sacrificing comrades There was an in
spectiOn that night It was made by three
oficers-Leverett NJ. Walker, Benjamin Ran
dolph and f. J. McClernand. Randolph and
Walker found two empty hunks and ordered
the officer of the day to inspect for the ab-
sentees every Is minutes. He did this duty
and found the empty hunks filled. Two of the

racks one empty bunk. 1t was that of Fair
fax Montague. McClernand knew thing or
two and was a disciplinarian. After finding
Montague absent he turned every cadet over
in his bunk, threw the light Of the lantern full
in his face and then looked at the name over
the alcove to IL face and name conceded
Mcdonald and Montague-McDonald on the
printed alcove slip and Montague in the bunk
did not agree.
The Virginian was ordered back to his
quarters in arrest, and Mcdonald waltzing
away all unconscious under the shadow Of
the flag pole at Washington's headquarters
was inspected for every Is minutes until he
reached his quarters six hours later. He was
saved from the extreme penalty for his Of
fense. but he had six months confinement in
barracks in which to think over his part In

and entered by the one door which had been
left unbarred. The cadets in barracks had
fastened every other door and every window
on the ground floor, effectually barring the
officers from entering. Within three minutes
of the first crash from Battery Knox officers
began to swarm out Of their quarters to head
for the area Of barracks, where they found the
officer Of the day dodging the fiery balls of .
score of Roman candles.
Gen. Schofield reused from his slumbers,
hastily dressed and trotted across the parade
ground in the wake of his juniors. The gen.
eral howled an order at the officer In charge:
Sound the long ROLL"
The officer in charge replied: Cant do it;
they've stolen the drums"
All this while the night was full Of noise
and the air was full of fire. Finally every
thing burnable was burned up and the cadets
had tired of the task Of carrying round shot
up the stairs only to roll them down again.
The enlisted drummer boys found their in
struments and 1t may do no harm at this late
day to say that they had known where they
were all the time. Long roll was sounded, the
barracks doors were thrown open and the
cadets fell into line and answered to their
names.
Every privilege was taken away from the
cadets for three months but not one was dis
missed, for If the guilty had been punished
not a boy would have been left to the service

Col. Kennon (he is a major of regulars, but

the Philippines early in the war game, and he
did not leave until he had played his hand
for six years. and there are few officers of the
United States army who have 4 like record to

Many a cadet from the period Of Lee had
been to Benny Havens'. a mile away from the
post time after time, but such trip as the
enc proposed was daring beyond all prece-
dent The chief danger lay in the possibil-
ity Of dark-antern inspection of quarters
while the runaways were absent. There had
not been such an inspection for some little
time. and this fact made the plotters bold.
Mcdonald finally evolved brilliant
scheme. It. was to get certain other cadets to
sleep in the absentees hunks and to pass for
them in the necessarily hurried lantern in
spection. This plan would, of course, involve
the substitutes being found absent from their
own quarters, but 1t was arranged through
means unnecessary to state. to have them
awakened at once In case an inspection took
place. and hurried back to their bunks When
a cadet is found absent he is inspected for
every Is minutes until he returns
Under the arrangement made, of course,

Some time ago there was a hazing
case at Annapolis and many cadets
were implicated. They were all
placed in arrest and the number of
the arrested ones was SO great that
ohicials thought that a record had
been broken, but such was not the
case.
The omcers had forgotten, II they
ever knew 1t. that once upon Q time
the entire corps of cadets at the
United States Military academy was
placed In arrest and that It was nec-
essary to break all army rules by
drawing on the ranks of the culprits
to secure men for guard duty. duty
ordinarily considered too honorable
to be discharged properly by any
man or body Of men against whom
charges of serious misconduct had
been laid.
There was q riot at the United
States Military academy at midnight,
December 81, 1879. The authorities
not only called the proceedings a
riot. but they said that 1t was rebel

Of it Gen. John NJ. schofeld, superin.

The riotous demonstration at the
academy on that night broke all
academy precedents. 1t was planned
by a dozen daredevil cadets of the
first class who were to graduate the
following June and who wished to
mark in a manner unprecedented the
usherins In Of their graduating year.

Death By Drowning.

Last Sunday occurred one of the sad
dest accidents it has been our duty to
record. Mrs James Sandifer. who
lives about three miles up the river,
left home to call on one of the neigh
bors. Not returning as soon as ex-
pected. her husband, who knew she
was not well, started to look for her
He learned that she had not arrived at
Mr.. Tipton's. where she had started
for, and instituted searching party.
At about 2:30. four hours after her de-
parture from home, her body was fonud
in the river near the railroad bridge.
1t is supposed she had become dizzy
and fell from the trail which runs close
to the river bank about three hundred
yaid ds above where the body was found.
The body was taken to the residence of
Mr.. Shaul and the funeral was held
from there Monday, conducted by Rev.
S NTH of Paonia.
Mrs. Sandifer leaves husband and
one boy l3 years of age to mourn her
sad demise. The sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to these affiic-
ted ones. -Paonia Booster.
