LIFE AT WEST POINT,
An Example of How the Cadets Are
Made to Economize,
The eadets at the Military academy
at West Point are not favored as are
often the students in colleges and unld-
versities who have wealthy parents—
that is, they are not furnished with an
unlimited amount of cash to buy “ex-
tras” for rooqes, clothes and luxuries.
All the cadets stand on the same foot-
ing and receive $600 a year, plus the
commutation of rations amounting to
$100.50 a year. However, with proper
economy this yearly allowance is suffi-
cient for the support of a cadet.
The army cadet who goes to the Mili-
tary academy with spendthrift habits
a and *severe
check, As an instance, a cadet some
time ago went to the superintendent
for an order for four shirts, but the
superintendent peremptorily refused to
give his approval. The young man was
sorely in need, and he attempted to
convince his gunerior of the fact. The
latter took up the cadet’s account book
and perusing it a couple of moments
threw it back te him, saying, “1 have
no doubt you are in great need of these
shirts or you would not present this or-
der, but you are in debt, and there's no
excuse for you.” The young cadet,
with tears starting in his eyes and a
trembling voice, responded: “But, colo-
nel, I am almost destitute of changes of
clothing. I have only one shirt to my
back, and that is a fatigue jacket.”
The colonel was immovable and sim-
ply said as he dismissed the cadet from
his presence, “Well, Mr. —, I would

MORE POSTAL EMPLOYES.
Baggagemen to Bacome Postal Employes
in Order to Handle Open Mall,
Postmaster General Payne has decid-
ed to make the experiment of em-
ploying baggagemen on the trains
which are not provided with mail
clerks to take charge of and deliver
open newspaper mail,
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger suggested the expedient
of employing the baggagemen to take
charge of the mail along the lines
from trains which earry only closed
pouches. There are a large number of
such trains.
The plan contemplates that the
baggage masters shall be sworn in as
Post Office Department employes and
that they shall be paid for their ser-
vices.
It is intended that they shall deliver
the papers to those to whom they are
addressed at points along the line
from the car doors, thus saving time
which would be lost in case the papers
were enclosed in the pouches, as this
would necessitate their being taken to
the local post office before they could
be delivered to agents,
