A few months ago Gen. Hamilton s. Haw-
kins died. He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening of the Civil
war, but the authorities did not allow him to
graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given commission. He staid in the reg
ular army until the time of his death and so
strong was his love Of the military academy
that before his death he asked that he might
be buried in the cadet cemetery. It was Haw-
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school
where he had spent three years of his boy.

institution as did any graduate in the army

who spent some time at the school, but who

preparing to follow the example of that of the
members of 1884 and If the custom of taking

iieved that If they mentioned the light
ming Immediately after a fash the
seat of their trousers would be torn
out. No boy could be induced to make
the experiment.
