sented and entertained by the asso

There was a good feeling manifested
by the representative business men,
and all were enthusiastic and deter-
mined to make the 1908 picnic even

THE WEST POINT RIOT.
It Happened During the Cadetship of
Jefferson Davis.
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.
