No Corsets at West Point

Col. X. B. Collins, retired army officer who
was seen at the Raleigh. In discussing West
Pointers said to reporter of the Washington
Herald: 81 have often heard a question as
to whether West Pointers wore corsets 1t is
absurd. in way, because should any effem-
mate youngster resort to such thing It
would be an impossibility to keep the affair
secret, and, once known, his school life would
become burden to him on account Of the
endless amount of criticism he would receive
from his fellows. He would be made the
laughing stock of the school and would soon
find himself the possessor of any number of
effeminate nicknames that would crate upon
his ears In any but pleasant manner.
ut is true" continued the old soldier, that
many West Pointers acquire a figure the per-
fection of symmetry and carriage the acme
of manly grace, but these due not to any
ingenious appliance, but to the systematic
drills and exercises that make every cadet. to
a certain extent. athlete. At the outset
these young fellows are put through what arc
called the setting up exercises, their object
being to straighten the body and develop the
chest. One might suppose that 1t would re-
quire great amount of such exercise to make
any marked showing, but three long hours
of such exercise daily will soon produce bene,
fetal results in the most stopped forms.
The cadet uniform is also great help in
this direction. The dress coat is tight very
tight The shoulders are heavily padded in
order to give them square effect. The chest
Is made thick, so that there will be no dan
ger of wrnking. And in size, a dress
coat seems always to be designed for boy
several sizes smaller than the one who Is to
wear it. A new dress coat, In fact is always
a source Of suffering to Its owner. When he
first puts 1t on, it buttons readily about the
neck. but to lack about six inches at
the waist. The owner may squirm and wrig-
gle and attempt to reduce his waist to mini.
mum circumference, but his maiden efforts
never sufficient to button the new dress coat.
Experience is great teacher though. and the
young fellow laughingly requests one or two
friends to lend their assistance. and with their
combined tugging and squeezing he finally sue
ceeds in buttoning the coat. All this for the
sake OF looks: comfort has NO place in the
makeup Of West Pointer; 1t Is discipline and
looks."

arctic expeditions it seemed that the
modest sum Of $4,000 to equip an
American crew was a mere bagatelle.
However, a waning interest in polar

THREE ARE BURNED TO DEATH
Mother and Children Perish in
Depot Fire.

Mrs. G.. A. Kruger and her two lit
tie girls, seven and nine years old,
respectively, were burned to death in
each others arms in a fire that de-
stroyed the 500 line depot at Egeland.
G. A. Kruger, local agent for the
500 road, is in a dangerous condition
from burns received in the blaze while
trying to rescue his family from
death. The fire is believed to have
started from an overheated stove.
The 500 line depot at Egeland was
a two-story affair, Agent Kruger occu-
plying the upper floor with his wife
and two children. The lower floor
consisted of the waiting room and the
telegraph and ticket Office. The big
ball stoves, usually found in railroad
stations of this type, were located in
the waiting rooms underneath m of
the up stairs bedrooms, in which the
family was sleeping.
From what a be learned Kruger
awakened to find the room in flames
and smoke and staggered to the
stairs. Receiving no reply to his fran
tic calls for his wife and children In
the fire and confusion he tried to fight
his way to their bedside in a far
corner of the room, but was driven
back by the wind famed flames, which
ignited his clothing. He was found on
the outside of the depot by the towns
people who rushed to the blazing
building and it is believed he leaped
from the window. Although his burns
are very severe physicians say his
wounds will not prove fatal.
The bodies of the wife and her two
little daughters were recovered from
the fire. They we're incinerated al
most beyond recognition They had
died almost in each others arms.
They were probably suffocated by the
smoke before the flames reached
them. The depot was a total loss,
having burned to the ground.
Mrs. Kruger was formerly Miss Ida
Gust of Cyrus, Mimi, whence her
body will probably be shipped for
burial.

Unique Experience Of q S~ixteen.year-
old Lass Of New Jersey.
Sixteen.year-old Edna l.. Biting is
the youngest farmer in the United
States and is considered n Of the
most expert students Of agriculture
In New Jersey. She has taken COM
plete charge Of Hillside farm. at Har-
bourton, N. J., a property owned by
her uncle. The farmers Of the state
call her the girl wonder and admit
that Hillside Is M Of the most pros
porous farms in New Jersey.
Although Miss Biting has only re-
Gently taken complete control, she has
assisted her uncle for several years.
Her father offered to pay the expenses
Of a college course, but the girl pre-
ferred farming to college life and in
sisted on helping her uncle.
While at school she passed her va
cations with her uncle and soon was
able to do the work Of a man. She
was not satisfied with the knowledge
Of the laborious part of the work, but
took a deeper interest in agriculture
and is now considered such an expert
that farmers in the vicinity seek her
advice.
1t is an interesting sight to watch a
pretty girl. neatly dressed. giving
orders to and overseeing the work Of
a corps Of farm hands, some of whom
have been engaged on farms for more
than a quarter Of a century.
81 wouldn't live in a city If I were
given a fortune" declared the girl
after she assumed control. IF city
girls only knew how sweet country
life is they would yearn for it. in
tend to make farming my life work, as
1 think it is as important as some of
the professions girls now engage in.
Agriculture is dry to read about, but
when you have theory and practice
combined there is nothing more inter-
esting. My parents do not wish me
to become a farmer, butt prefer it to
anything else and will visit a city only
when absolutely necessary"
Miss Biting has always been con-
sidered an unusually bright girl. and
she maintained a high standard while
attending school. When she declined
to enter an agricultural college she
said she could master farming from
books without further instruction.
That she has succeeded yer beyond
her own expectations she admits and
is delighted over the fact.
