A cadet Howitzer is a small, wholly original newspaper, full of everything in general; grinds, burlesques, sharp hints and comments, with bits of ridiculous fact as well; free as air, and sometimes as breezy. Verses to the cadet girl, verses at her, as well as touching the stringent professor, and the unpopular drill. Grievances painted in high colours, and jokes about cadets that are as merciless as they are many.
Scene: Riding hall.
Lieut. B.: "Mr. H., let go that horse's mane, sir!"
Cadet H. "I—I—I'm afraid he'll fall down if I do, Lieutenant."
"Why is T. like necessity?"
"Because he knows no Law."
"A first-class horse—the Spanish pony."
"Mabel, what became of that West Pointer you were engaged to?"
"O, he turned out to be a disappointer."
Scene: Section room.
