tiveness, as is the case with the plans
of so many youngsters. True, he want
ed to be a soldier. What live lad in
the years just after the civil war did
not have his thoughts fired by the
stories of fighting in the great strug-
gle? In his dreams he saw himself
leading desperate charges against the
enemy? But he also had dreams of
being lawyer and standing, like
Daniel Webster or Henry Clay, with
one hand thrust into his coat, moving
judges and juries with his eloquence.
He and his mother and father just
knew, of course, that Johnny would
make fine lawyer, because he always
stood well in his studies in the town
school.
Mother" said the elder Pershing
one day, Il feel I'm getting bit too
old to work on the road much longer.
Old Brainard passed me on the street
today and stopped to chat with me.
He wants me to buy out his general
store and thinks l could make it pay.
What do you say?"
After much planning between Mr.,
Pershing and his wife and weighing Of
possibilities the step was decided upon,
and Johnny Pershing's father became
a merchant. Johnny's part in the mat
ter was that of active partner-very
active, indeed, for to him fell the work
of assisting in the store after school
and runnino on STch pyramids as were
not beyond his strength.

the widespread and beautiful parade
ground, on the proud day when the
/ cadets were reviewed by the secretary
of war. This was in June, 1886, and
John became Lieutenant Pershing,
United States army. He was then
twenty-siX years old.
He had been home to visit the
folks during his furlough after he
had been at the academy two years.
His friends turned out to greet him,
of course, and the rest of the town
focked to see him arrive. 1t isn't ev-
cry day that man from West Point
arrives at a little place in Missouri,
and every one wanted to see as soon
as possible what two years of Uncle
Sans training had done for Johnny
Pershing They were not disappoint-
ed. He had left Laclede a tall, wiry,
young fellow, without any especial dis
tinction; he returned we'll set up,
strong chap, showing in his bearing the
results of the rigid training of the
gymnasium and fields. He had already
the assured bearing of military man.
He had become a wonderful equestri-
an, riding anything that the academy
held in the line Of horsefesh. He was
always first to get away when the
bugles rang out the notes of the
Charger
Of course Johns first day home was
given to his folks. No one else could
take the first happy hours Of the young
man on furlough. But the second day
found him wandering in the fields and
woods with his boyhood chum, Charley
Sturgeon.
There was so much to tell about the
life at the academy! '"Tell me- said
Charley, "what do you think about
life in the army?"
81 don't think I'll stick to it, said
John, although I'll try to finish the
course at the academy. think I'll
have to go back to my original idea of
studying law This country is at peace
now, and it's going to stay at peace.
There won't be a gun fired in the next
hundred years. The army is no place
for me in peace time. I'd start in as
L
first lieutenant only when the first
lieutenant died, and so on through all
the grades I'm older now than most
of the men at the academy, and per-
haps I'd be no higher than colonel
when the time came for me to retire
believe the world is going to be too
! peaceful in the future to make the
,.rmy look very promising to me as a
career"
But Lieutenant Pershing found plen-
ty of work to do as a soldier and that
too, soon after his graduation. The
Apaches and other wild western tribes
were often on the rampage, and the
soldier ordered to the western plains
and mountains and mesas had his
work cut out for him. Pershing in the
cavalry, the branch of the service most
often used against the redskins, got
his share of the hard work. It did not
always mean fighting, however. Often
there were palavers with the chiefs
and matters could be settled without
blOOdShed.
Even in those early days Pershing
showed the quick thought that distin-
guished him in fields far removed from
the western states. Army men tell
with delight how one day Pershing
was sent by his commanding officer to
attend council of Navajo braves. 1t
was a holiday, and the redskins were

RELIEF COMMISSION STEPS OUT.

Yielding at last to German pressure
the American Relief Commission is to be
withdrawn from Belgium.
This has been foreseen ever since the
severance of relations, but because they
felt moral obligation for the millions of
Belgians behind the German lines, both
the United States and the commission were
willing to endure the humiliating restric-
tons of Germany, that the work might
continue as long as possible. And so our
flag was ordered down from the residence
of Brand Whitlock, American Minister to
Belgium, his courier service to The Hague
was stopped, he wasn't even allowed to
communicate with his own government in
plain writing, relief work was hampered
in a thousand ways, and we tolerated it
because there were ten million starving
people to be saved.
Now, however, a more serious condition
has presented itself Within the past few
days, three relief ships, conspicuously
marked, have been attacked outside the
Blockade" zone. One was sunk. Protests
have not been answered.
But though the American commission
is withdrawing from Belgium, it has not
given up the work "Shall those remaining
behind the lines be abandoned?" says the
commission. To ask the question is to
answer it. The commission has twenty
two ships on the ocean; two have Just ar
rived at Rotterdam and an effort will be
. continue the work through the
DDS government.

The SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.
M'RAE'S GOATS

The trouble with ]. C. McRae, of
Milton, is that nobody is getting his
goat-or goats, for it's a painful
plural. List, oh list.
Some time ago McRae accepted an
order from a Tennessee man for 800
goats. Now goats appeared to be as
numerous as the sea sands in Santa
Rosa county, and as long as McRae
didn't want any, he could buy a mil
lion for fifty cents each; but just
as soon as he advertised for 800, he
had hard time to get one for a dol
lar. When finally he had gathered
up all the giddy goats in the commun-
ity, big goats and little goats, lady
like goats and goats that weren't,
they numbered less than 400.
But they were enough to fill a car
and he determined to ship-they were
eating their heads off and kicking up
such an unhois racket that there
was no peace on his farm whatever.
Now to ship goats into Tennessee,
certificate from a duly commits
stoned federal or state health officer
is needed; Mr.. McRae took the matter
up with the State Board of Health
which referred him to the veterinarian
of the Bagdad Land & Lumber Co.
Sending message to that gentleman
asking that he be on hand to conduct
the examination, McRae started out
bright and early Wednesday morn
ing to drive the whole seething herd
to Milton-a long fifteen miles. How
the goats choked the road, overflowed
into the surrounding landscape! and
what time the drivers did have! A
wagon trailed in the rear to pick up
those that petered out.
When McRae reached Milton he
found no veterinarian, but message
from that gentleman saying that be-
ing employed by the Bagdad Land &
Lumber Company, he was doing no
general practice, for which indeed he
was not icensedtherefore he could
not look at a goatee even without a
special commission from the State
Board of Health.
This was Wednesday. Thursday has
dawned, reached its zenith, and faded
out in glory of sunset, and still Nc
Rae has not been able to locate an
authorized veterinarian; the goats are
there, though, and while he is wait
ing for the special dispensation for
the Bagdad veterinarian, for which
application has been made, McRac
is wondering what the deuce this
Tennessee man wanted with all those
goats anyway-whether he is inter
ested in mutton market, is prepar-
ing for some extraordinary lodge
work, or is making some butter ex-
periments.

Get a 25-cent box of '"Tiz" at any
