MIDDIES' SUMMER CRUISE.
An Annapolis Event That Ranks Ahead
Of All Others.

Of All Others.
When vacation time comes around
the military cadets at West Point go
into camp, but each year when the ex-
aminations are over at the United
States naval academy at Annapolis the
nliddies go Off OF Il practice ship on Il
summer cruise. To the future admit
rails. who are now naval cadets, this
cruise is an event in the academic year
uneaqualed by any other.
There are today on i, ship of the new
navy more comforts than could be
found on any of the old wooden YES
sells. says the st. Louis GlobeDemo-
crat. There is now no reeting Of sails
or "box hauling ship" the triple
screws and quadruple expansion en-
gines have done away with that, while
the Dahlgren shell gun has given place
to breechloading rifles.
After the cadets have embarked and
everything on board is shipshape the
practice cruiser starts out. Going down
Chesapeake bay the days are chiefly
spent in drill, and the vessel comes to
an anchor every night. But when the
capes have been left behind and the
open sea is reached there is new Or
der of things. The cadets. just like
blueiackets, are divided into the star
board and the port watches. and one
of these must he on deck all the time,
four hours constituting n watch.
All day there are constant exercise
and drill below and aloft-boat drill,
sail drill, handling spars, exercise with
big and little guns, practical navigation
and working ship. Every phase of a
sailors life is illustrated, and no mat
ter how rough the sea may be or how
hard the wind may blow. the cadet
must he aloft and work side by side
with the jack tars
When the cruiser has been out three
or four weeks it is customary to put
into some northern resort. where the
cadets spend some pleasant days on
shore during their stay, and the change
is greatly enjoyed by them.
After this little rest they put to sea
once more. and for several weeks buff
fet the ocean waves or broil under the
hot sun that blaZes down on the Ches;l-
peake.
Near the end of August Annapolis is
reached. the crowd of bronZed and
sturdy youths rush ashore. and the
next train bears laughing. rollicking
middies to their homes for thirty days
vacation. When the time has expired
they return to Annapolis and resume
their academic life.

- T was in the olden time when Il
traveller between Denver and

season when the coach was robbed as
often as once Il week. Passengers knew
that there was one chance in seven Of

would draw the revolver first The
other miner had $50 hidden under his

do so. The young lady. who was going
