MY acquaintance With Pershing be-
gan as far back as 1898. when we were
classmates in the Nebraska University
law department. He was AT the time
c-ommandant Of the cadets at that
point and seized tine opportunity pre-
scented to perfect himself in the law.
ut is a characteristic Of Pershing
that whatever he undertakes he does
thoroughly. AT the university he built
up the cadet corps, inspired it, mem

ance of their duties. and although he
vas exact in The matter of discipline,
retired with the love and respect Of the
young men in his command.
AT West Point, as professor OF ma
thematics, he performed the onerous
duties of his position with the anne
zeal and e-Xactness. He had earned
his spurs on the field against the In
dams long before u war wrh Spain
was dreamed of. and when war was
finally declared sought the storm CEN

the actual organizer Of the i~nsular bu-
reau. but, preferring service in the
field, he was sent to the Philippines.
There he rose to every opportunity,
uniting the role Of the soldier with
that of the diplomat so successfully
that he won the respect, esteem, and
admiration Of the savage and hitherto
unconquered Moros and established a
peace that has been little disturbed
since. AT the war college. in this
city. where he was detailed for duty
after his return 10 the United States,
he earned the encomiums of his suoer-
Tors. AS military attache at the court
of the Mikado he reflected credit on
his country. Such is the epitome Of
his public career-a career that no
one ever dared attempt to besmirch
until recently.

CHASING a R19SSfur,
Assassin.


[Original.l
Ivan Lemsky, an engineer on the rail-
road running between Moscow and
Odessa on the Black sea, was known
by the revolutionists to be In the pay
of the police. Once or twice 'politi-
GALS" trying to get out of the country,
had begged him to conceal them on his
engine and take them to Odessa, where
they could embark. One had tried to
bribe him. Invariably the engineer
had gone straight to the police with
the information. One night Lemsky,
who had a day run, was preparing to
go to bed when there was a knock on
his door and a we'll dressed young man
with light hair and blue eyes stepped
in
81 wish to go south to Odessa on to-
morrow's IL O'Clock train. You, l am
told, run the engine of that train. VIII
you slow up just beyond the limits to
enable me to get on? 1t will be very
easy for you and would be worth a
hundred rubles to me-"
Lemsky thought moment. Should
he take the bribe without earning it2
He would receive Its double from the
police for his information. No; 1t
would be too risky.
The next morning Lemsky when he
went to the roundhouse dropped In on
the police and informed them that
suspicious character had tried to bribe
him to slow his train that he might
get on. The police ordered couple of
detectives TO go on the train and watch
for the suspicious character as de-
scribed by the engineer.
AT half past 10 o'clock report was
heard in the governors palace and
attendants entering found the governor
blown to atoms. There was no sign
whatever of the perpetrator of the
deed. There was an awakening at the
police Office though 1t came late. The
information of the engineer suddenly
appeared to be very important OF
course it was only clew, but the more
they thought of 1t the more they con-
sidered 1t the true clew. Had it not
been the assassin himself who, intend
ing to kill the governor not long before
the train started, had wished to take
II outside the city limits? But, failing
to bribe the engineer to stop had he
not taken the train at the station?
1t was 1 o'clock when the police got
the idea into their stupid noddles, and
the train had been gone two hours.
They at once went to the railway Of
fees and directed the superintendent
to catch the II o'clock train by tele-
graph and direct the detectives on II
to stop it till 1t could be certainly
known if the assassin was on board.
The superintendent gave them two
pieces of information that astonished
them-first. the telegraph line to Odes.

Girls Dressed In Quaint Japanese Co.'S
TUNES as Mattresses.

Every Jealous church worker is keen
about knowing new ways of Turing the
elusive dollar out of the pockets of her
fellow church members. The wiles
that sweet and simple woman will
permit herself to use In the chase after
this same dollar or even after small
quarter of.that amount are amusing to
her masculine victims, and l am sure
"give up" that is only make believe
bust to see her efforts.
A Japanese supper makes an attrac-
tive change from the ordinary. The
little supper tables are arranged with
the graceful artificial cherry and plum
blossoms that all the japanese shops
have, and wistariaS and chrysanthe-
NUNS are arranged about the hall.
A lot of girls dressed Ia japanese
act as mattresses. Every girl loves
this, for it gives her chance to make
up her lips and cheeks and stick long
daggers and tiny fans in her pompa-
doured hair. OF course dark girls are
rather more in keeping, but it doesn't
really matter Weak tea, various kinds
of rice dishes, candied orange peel, lit
tie thin cakes and nuts We're the Japa-
nese additions to regular supper, oys-
ter shortcakes, cabbage salad Shredded
to initiate chrysanthemum petals, pic
kles, sandwiches doughnuts, cakes and
coffee.
The favors were little Japanese lam
terms filled with tiny candles Those
receiving them We're asked to save
them, using them as banks and filling
them with small coins for the next mis-
sionary tea, held quarterly.
A popcorn supper followed by little
eantata is a novelty for a missionary
tea. Serve sandwiches, popcorn balls,
crackerjack plain and buttered pop
corn and cakes made by putting the
popped corn in small molds and pour
ing the hot candy sirup on them. Serve
coffee, lemonade and milk to drink.
Have the assistants In red cotton
dresses, with coquettish caps and
aprons, trimmed with strings of popped
corn. One church makes considerable
money during the winter by serving
coffee cake and coffee suppers each
week at q home of a member. The
charge is 10 cents, and this gives one a
cup Of good coffee and all the coffee
cake he wishes.

taking In an the coal ana water 1t
could carry had left not ten minutes
before with the officer, the engineer
and stoker
The officials were puzzled. Exchang-
ing opinions, they concluded that some
one high In rank and more energetic
than themselves had got ahead of
them. But they could only wait for
information. The telegraph line being
down, there was no way of reaching
the train or the engine.
And now let us follow the police off,
cial who had distanced his fellows.
He was black eyed man, with dark
hair and beard. He stood, with
watch in hand, timing the train, and,
though it covered a mile a minute, he
ordered the engineer to go faster.
"Catch the IL o'clock train before Ii
reaches Crakoy,' he said to the engi-
neer, "and promise you in the name
of the czar a thousand rubles."
The engineer ordered more coal into
the furnace, aud, with increased
steam, the engine bounded over the
rails like a comet. The officer had n
time of day, told the engineer that he
should overhaul the train at Kursk.
And he did. When-the locomotive roll
ed into Kursk, there stood the train on
the track. A switch was set for the
locomotive, and it rolled alongside the
train. Then the officer of police or
dered the engineer to pull on.
"But 1 thought you wanted to catch
this train," said the engineer.
81 did-and pass it, Pull onr' thgn-
dered the-oliicer.
The engineer let on steam, and the
locomotive was soon dashlng ON again
at the same terrific rate as before
"Now for ODESSA" said the officer.
eve must reach it by 10 o'clock to-
night, in time to catch the boat for
Constantinople."
The engineer now began to wonder
at this singular man who had been SO
anxious to catch train and when he
had caught it passed 1t without COM
municating. But he held his peace.
He was in Russia, and the officer talk
ed in the name of the czar. He spoke
as one in authority, and 1t was plain
that he was not to be questioned.
1t was still long journey to Odessa
and had they not been going at an
extraordinary rate would have been
much longer. Several times they stop
ped for coal and water, and the officer
threatened those who did the loading
with the vengeance of the czar ifsthey
did not hasten.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the To-
comotive rolled into the Odessa station.
The officer jumped down while 1t was
still going and ran for the boat. Dash
ing on to it, he was lost to sight and
did not make his appearance till it was
we'll out at sea.
The assassin of the governor had es-
capped. But he had had assistants, one
of whom had offered the bribe and an
other had cut the telegraph wires.
