Tbe subjects of there pictures may not Interest you very mucb but if you step closer to one of them to see who was tbe artist who made It you will huve a surprise In store. For Instance, there Is the one which pictures a Creek warrior of the ancient days. Mown In one corner of the picture Is a barely decipherJ. Davis. able signature Perhaps this doesn't mean anything to you especially until yon see n typewritten sheet Inserted tn the other corner which reads as follows: This picture, drawn by Jefferson Davis while a cadet at the U. S. II. A. was presented to me on August 1.1. 11)24, by Sergeant Starr, retired, formerly of the service detachment now on the police force of the State, War and Navy building at Washington. He Informed me that when the old academic building (the one tbnt stood on the site of the presfut west academic building) wus torn down tbut the drawing fell in the hands of some friend of his from whom he afterwards obtained It anti that he. Douglas Newton Starr, made the frame from a part of a bannister railing of one of the stalr-ense- s In the old academic building, (signed) ' Fred W. Flatten, Major General, Superintendent." So more than a hundred years ago this Greek warriors portrait came from the pencil of a slender yovr,g Kentuckian, npimlnted to the military academy from Mississippi In 1S24 and graduated tn 1828, who had his first military experience as a second lieutenant of Infantry In the Black Hawk war In 1S32 and who, as a colonel of Mississippi volunteers in the Mexican war. distinguished himself at the battle of Buena Vista by an exploit which was to have much to do with bis future career. For Jefferson Davis's greatest fame lies not In his career as a soldier but as a statesman. He wus successively a member of the United States house of represenrathes. United States senator and secretary of war. And later. In 1861, the Confederate congress, remembering the hero of Buena Vista and Daviss services In the war portfolio In President Franklin Pierce's cabinet, selected him for the position of president of the Confederate States of America. Bnt tbe portrait of the Greek warrior made by Jefferson Davis Is not the only one made hy a cadet destined for future fame. Near It Is a scene in an Indian camp of the old days. In the foreground a chief squats holding his gayly decorated pipe as he dickers with the white trader whose wares of blankets, knives and other trinkets are spread enticingly before him. Standing to one side is an Indian woman, papoose in arms, who seems much Interested In the bargaining. The artist who depicted this scene was Cadet U. H. Grant, a graduate from the ucudemy In 1841. Perhaps most Americans know him as U. S. Grant, those initials standing both for Ulysses and "Unconditional Surrender but Simpson when he was at West Point he signed his name as C. H. Crant for Ulysses Hiram was the name which his mother had given him.

It is a painting of rare beauty and one which might well have come from the brush of a dreamy-eyeartist.

But these drawings by artis-twho became great generals are not the only artistic treasures which adorn the walls of this West Point classroom.
