The fact that the President received a

Enter, Miss Warren.

Here, at the same time. came Miss
Warren, just out of school, full of ea-
thusiasm for the gayeties of a Wash
ington social season. Her fathers po-
sition assured that she would have all
the opportunities she could wish,
on the day the session opened the
Presidents message was read. In ii
the President paid a handsome tribute
to the service OF Pershing in the islands.
and said there ought to be adequate
meaEs OF rewarding such as he.
That evening some of the NebFa ska
folk celebrated Pershings new hOn0rs.
Senator and Miss Millard gave a din
uer, and among those invited were Miss
Warren and her father
And, papa, exclaimed the girl in
telling of the invitations. Captain Per
shing is invited too, and Wen have a
chance to meet him.
They met. Captain Pershing took the
Senator's daughter out 10 dinner.
Next night there was a military ball
at Fort Myer. The daughter of the
Senator. who was chairman Of the Com
mirtee on Military Affairs. was invited.
The hero Of the occasion was Captain
Pershing. IT turned out that he danced
as we'll as he fought. and, more than
that. he danced more with Miss Warren
than with anybody else
Well. that was the beginning. The
rest everybody knows. But the point
of it all is that Jack" Pershing had
done mighty well for himself, had won
his spurs in the field. and had had his
star promised TO him long before he
ever met either Miss Warren or her in
fiuential papa.
SenstOr Warren takes no stock in the
stories TO the discredit of General Der
shinR. He and his son-in-law have dis
cussed the whole matter with entire
frankness. The Senator says he knows
/ the reports originated, first. in some

Burkett His Friend.

Pershing became Immensely popular
as commandanU of the cadet corps, and
he and Burkett became fast friends.
He was widely known and liked every

Pershing went away to service in the
Philippines and Burkett went into poll
tics. Pershing became the hero Of the
whole army. and Burkett went To Con
