John Pershing ate many a meal in
our house when he was teaching

member one day AT the noon hour a
big farmer with red Sideburns came
riding up to the schoolhouse on horse
with revolver in his hand. Pershing
had whipped one of the farmers chill

came We went out into the woods and

how he liked the army, and he said

remaining two years of his military
course
This country is at peace now. and

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
second lieutenant, and I'd get to be
a first lieutenant only when the first
lieutenant died. The world Is going to
be too peaceful in the future to make
the army look promising as a career
John didn't intend 10 go into the
army. He meant TO be n lawyer, but
for once In his life he was all wrong.

him out with General Miles 10 fight

several weeks in the mountains. As
matter Of fact Mr.. Tweedie has not
