Closely connected with Benny Ha- vens' was the great cadet riot of Christ. mas, 1826, In the middle of Jefferson Davis’ third year. Before Christmas it was rumored through the barracks that Davis and other southern and southwestern cadets were going to ex- plain to the other members of the corps the mysteries of eggnog. Cadets Davis, Tilghman and Temple were to get the necessaries from Benny's, but It seems that something prevented, and others had to get the materials, The authorities were suspicious and or dered the lnspectors to stay up all night to keep order. This angered the cadets, and the preparations for the eggnog went on. In the dark of the morning of Dec. 25 the invitations were sent out. Robert E. Lee and Jo seph E. Johnston declined. J. B. Ma- gruder, Drayton, C. J. Wright and oth- ers accepted. Davis was extending the invitations when he heard a rumor that Captaln Hitchcock was abroad. He ran back to No. § north barracks where the refreshments were collected, called out, “Put away that grog, boys; old Hitch Is coming.” and looked up to find that Hitchcock was already in the room. Davis was sent to his quarters under arrest, fortunately for him, for after some hilarious nolse he went to sleep and did not get Into the riet which then began. The instructors and officers were chased out of the halls into thelr own rooms and there besieged. The cadets obtained arms and organized the Helvetian league to protect themselves aguinst the bom- bardiers, who, they heard, were or dered out to subdue them. Davis’ room- mate, Walter B. Gulon of Missiskippt, was the leader of the Helvetians. He secured a pistol and tried to shoot Captain Hitchcock. Some of the offi. cers were badly bruised with stove wood thet the cadets threw at them. After an hour or two the riot wore out. Later nineteen cadets, among them Guion, were court martialed and dismissed. Davis, with others, was kept long under arrest and given de- merits. Professor W, IL. Fleming in Metropolitan Magazine, GOT HIS OMELET. Why One Man Ceased Trying to Be Funny With Waiters. “I've never tried to be funny with a walter,” the traveler was saying, “since the time when I had a little ex- perience with one in California. It was several years ago, and I was rather ‘fresh.’ I stepped Into a restaurant one morning and ordered an omelet, “What kind? asked the waiter, “Why, are there more kinds than one? I sald. : “'Oh, yes, sir, he answered me; ‘there are several’ “ "Well, bring me an ostrich egg owe- lot’ “ ‘All right, sir,’ he sald, ‘but you'll have to walt quite awhile. It takes a long time to make an ostrich egg ome- let.’ “I told him I had plenty of time. He went away and was gone fully an hour. Then he came back with a big covered dish. “There you are, sir, be said, plac ing it before me and uncovering it. “Well, it was an omelet, all right, and big enough for half a dozen men. Whether there was an ostrich farm in the neighborhood and he got a real ostrich egg or whether he made It from a couple of dozen hens’ eggs 1 don’t know, but 1 distinctly remember that it cost me $2-and I learned a valuable lesson.”--Youth's Companion.
