Cheers for the Tail-Ender.

The young jnen who stand at the foot of their classes In the graduating exercises now In progress In all the Institutions of learning in the country need not fear the ordeal, after the experience of the tailender at West Point. We are told that when the first cadet in the Claes went up to receive his diploma the applause was generous and hearty, but when the name of the cadet who stood at the foot of the class was called the vast audience got on Its feet and fairly yelled and the adjutant general shook his hand warmly and complimented him on getting through successfully. Oh, no, the laggards need not despair.—Boston Herald.
