In reference to the habit of answering

once occurred. A Serious faced
young man i nten d West Po.nt from Ohio.
Some cadets approached him in the usual
way.
"Well, mlaiir, what's your name?"

At another time a squad of newly en-'
painted pi, li s were at dinner In the mess
hall.
The thiee cadet officers in charg.
of Hum were loitering mar the duor when
an elegant young man dresse.1 in the1"" tbese things without allowing any
height of fashion nnd arcompanlel by a
proity woman approached. Raising M.
hut, the gentleman took have of his com-
p union and briskly ran up the steps of!
the mess hall.
"Ah is-er this the mess hall?" he In
quired affably of the young man In ?ray
at the door.
"Yes." the latter replied, and, with an
eye to a possible Introduo'.ion to the lady
a little later, he put hltrt" out to show
the supiajsed visitor the sights of the
building.
"Thes are tho plebes, you know." he
went on, Hlntii'g to those silent anl rigid
figures wilting for the command to rise.
The oilier cadets on duty gathered about
this stylish young man. who was probably
some wealthy citizen on a pleasure trip.
"Come over To the barracks." they said.
"We'll 1 glad to show you round."
So over they wvnt behind the squad of
plebes. When the visitor had seen the
inoms and the cadet office nnd tho other
points of interest, he remarked throwing !
himself Into the chair offered by his ho-ts: I drink Ink or eat a sandwich of hard tack

"How's that." said one of the cadets, a
horrible thought Mashing Into his mind.
"Are you a candidate?"
"Why. ya-as. don't you know "
His entertainers sprang to their feet.
"Get out of that chair, sir! Take off that j
liat. sir! Gut those heels together, sir!
Take your eyes off me. sir! How dare I
you slouch around here, sir!" I
Th.. astonished gentleman found him-i
self surrounded by a crowd of as angry I
students as he ha.l ever imagined. In a
moment his hat was knocked off. his cane i
jerked away from him. his heels brought
together with a click nnd be waa In spite
of himself, one of the despised pieties. It
was some time-, however, before bis tor-
mentors forgot the ea'V W:iy ln which
they had lieen taken in.
I'ndcr t'.io system 1n vogue nt present
candidates appointed to West Point are
examined at some army post near their
place, of residence, and tne successful
ones only go to West Tolnt when the
results of their examinations have been
made public. A few years ago all candi
dates were examined physically and men
tally at the academy, consequently there
was a large crowd of the Inexperienced
on hand every June for tho surreptitious
joys of hazing.
One night a party of cadets got hold of
a lot of old army uniforms and dot', rmlned
to have a little fun with the plebes. In
Ibe middle of the night they were all
turned out and marshaled In on empty
room. Five grave but youthful-appearing
Individuals clad In exceedingly rusty
and Ill-fitting uniforms were gathered
about a taWe. After a brief consultation
one of them called out:
Mr Jones of Kansas. I'll question you,
sir!"
Mr. Jones stepped forward. He was ln
fear and trembling, for he supposed he
was about to undergo his examination.
Why It wa held In the middle of the
night mid by such riialy looking lot uf
officer It did not occur lo him to imk.
"Mr, June," began the Inrpilalior, "l.av.
It; reported here, t Iruat you have
reiihx. il the neeeaaWy for a thorough
knowledge of inalhem.it :ca and have rom
prepared to anwr such iiietnna upon
thl subject a thl liooxd will proponud
lr."
Mr, Jon mumbled romethlng aloul
trying to do hlx heat.
"Vour aiia'tcment eem neither satla
factory nor clear. Mr. Jom-, hut w will
proceed with your examination. A man
started In hualnes with awven clerk an.l
a Chlneae pot-atlo. Hi pro-flta tho flrt
month were mlnua PI and a bl of hay,
aftar which hi wife died and he be-ame
poa aeaaed of s devil. What per ent ali
mony did hi wife receive and what did
be din of?"
Mr, Jonen looked urprtaed and began
to smile,
"Wipe; off th-at mllc, Mr. Joni-s," cam
In stern tone from the other examiner.
"Vou have evIdenUy failed to grasp
the gravity of the situation," continued
hut Interlocutor. "That will do, Mr.
Jones. Mr. Cook, we will proceed with
your examination."
Mr. Cook took the floor.
"Mr. Cook, by what symbol In malhe
maUc is your ignorance of geography
expresaed? What? Not undenrund the
1'iicfltlon, lr. Well, sir, we are not here
lo answer for you, sir, or we should say
plus infinity. We will glve you one more
opportunity. Where Is Kajccjka, and who
is tha potrtmistress there? What, rn't
answer that? That will do, Mr. Cook,
you have failed to pass."
Jim at this moment the door opened and
a head was hurriedly poked In:
"Iok out, fellow, the Tac's coming!"
Immediately the examining oiTVer In
terrupted the examination wllh an un
warranted degree of haste.
"Kxamlnaftlons over for today. Get out
of here you men, and be quick about It."
They dlMit-an-l themenlves in most
undUrnlflt-d fanhion. Scarcely had they
closed the door behind, them when, with
sharp knock. In Walked the cavalry lieu
tenant, who waa the officer In charge.
Close questioning of the plebe preent
failed, however, to elicit anything that
could give a clue to the identity of the
cadets who had played this daring prank.
These little Jokeji are nothing, and the
nal fun begins for the old cadet when
the plele is sent to camp after three or
four week's stay In barratk".
When he arrives, loaded with his blank
ets, his broom, pail, dipper, and bedding,
he is very likely told where his tent is by
some kindly disposed old cadet, and when
with a mighty sigh of relief he IhroTH,

1 u,ln pblies in this way are very strict
and a breach of them would be likely to
result in dlsmis.-al
This special duty service Is not always
a one-sided affair. If the old cadet is a
gvwd fellow he will give his servitor much
valuable advice, put him up to cadet cus
toms and instruct him in the many tra
ditions of the place than would otherwise
have to bo learned by hard experience.
Aside from this no other cadet lower In
rank than the upper classman can Inter

marked at the academy and this fact
serves the plebe a good turn.
