The life Of "A plebe at West Point is by
no means of the most pleasant. and espe-
cIaIIy does this apply to the life in plebe
camp. During this particular period the
plebc merely exists. and no more. His
troubles begin as soon as he and his tent

and he must keep this up day in and day
out. His brasses-wast and breast plates
are furnished and have scratches which,
though invisible to the plebe's eye, always
stand out very plainly when the more ex-
perienced eye OF the upper class man ex-
amines them. He is told to work on them,
and If by the next inspection they are not
satisfactory the plebe will receive some
thing more than mere words. During all
of his spare time the plebe must. II he does

Angling for Pacific salmon is marvel

Why they will strike the brass spoon no

Fishermen Up In Arms.

A great deal of excitement has been
caused in this section the past week or
two by a widely circulated report that a
law had been passed by the late Mary
land Legislature, imposing a license tax
OF one dollar on every citizen OF Mary
land who fished in any Of its streams and
ten dollars for every nonresident fisher
man. This meant that we West Virgin
ians couldn't sit on the bank OF the Po-
tomac and throw a line in the stream
until we had first paid ten dollars, unless
we made ourselves subject 10 a fine OF
fifty dollars. Protest loud and long arose
from one end OF the stream 10 the other,
on both sides, and an attempt to entore
the law would have caused riot almost,
for was il not invading the sacred rights
of a lifetime? Strenuous inquiries OF the
States attorney OF Washington county
and OF the members Of the Legislature
elicit the reply that they know nothing OF
the passage OF such measure, though 1t
may possibly have crept into the law as
an amendment or in some surreptitious
way. We are in hopes, however, that
this alarming report is a false one, and
that we may still yank out the festive bass
whenever he is inclined to bite, without
paying tribute to some hated Maryland
official.

to two men, cousins, Charles Sperow
and Marvin Porterfield-and Porterfield
