Letters From "Our Boys
Boys Having Easy Time

BOYS 1avin9 Easy time
Dear Friend: received the Oakes
paper today dated March 21st and it
sure was interesting to me, for I
haven't received a letter from home
for some time.
We are having it pretty soft at the
present but don't know how long it
will last. We drill about an hour and
a half in the morning and the rest of
the time we play ball or sacks, and
in the afternoon we listen to lecture
given by one of the officers which
lasts about an hour and after that we
do whatever we want to. Most of the
time it means ball game.
We have been having good weather
but last night one of those North
Dakota rains blew up little thunder
and lightning and fine rain. After it
had stopped raining left the orderly
room to go to my billet and in the
main part of the town I ran into a
creek. The water was running down
the hill from the first corps school
and there were about six inches of
water in the street.
We don't get much news to send
back. About all the news we get is
what we hear from the guns at the
front and all we can make out of it
is that all policemen have big feet,
which is known as the artillery mans
tune he plays on his gun.
see by the paper that father has
gone farming and wonder if he will
make as good farmer as I am SOL
dier.
Did you ever stop and think that old
Company X would soon be wearing
their first six months overseas chew
ron. Uncle Sam didn't lose any time
getting us over here by any means.
Well will close for this time run
ming out of brains. Good luck to the
boys.
Your Friend,
James Sides.

LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHINC

husbands side. and together they prepared the house for a siege.
 Little John, now nearly four years old, was out in the village square drilling the children of the town in imitation of the great armies that were fighting in the nearby states. Even at this time the future general was showing the qualities of leader ship that afterward made him fam ous.
 The thunder of hoofs on the road called a halt in the drill. There was 3. loud cry "The raiders!' and away the children scampered to the shelter of their homes.
 Little Jack Pershing was left alone but, having heard his parents speak Of the raiders, he hurried away to carry the news.
 His fathers men were already at the house when he ran in The shut ters were being put up; Jack may have been in the fathers way when he insisted upon having his little gun that he, too. might shoot. His mother nearly broke his heart when she took him and his brother and sister and bestowed them in one of the dark closets for safe keeping.
 An A1l-Night Siege
 The raiders rode up with a scat tering volley. Captain Holtzclaw, the leader, called upon the storekeeper to take down his flag
 Pershing replied with 8 shot that killed the captain.
 Discretion being the better part of valor, the raiders retired to the shad- ow of some great cottonwood trees and began 3. steady fire upon the doors and shuttered windows of the house
 All night long the siege was main tained.
 The other inhabitants of Laclede believed their own safety was the first consideration and kept fearfully to their homes.
 Toward morning the raiders think ing to take the defenders off their guard prepared to storm the house. It was the intense darkness just be- fore dawn. Not a shot had been fired for nearly an hour, and each raider, lying in the deepest shadow he could find, awaited the signal.
 Just at this time the long, piercing whistle of a train on the Hannibal

CHAPTER. HI.

(Copyright, 1918, by William Fox) EVER present about the little Mis- A< souri town of Laclede was the flag of the Confederacy. Mrs. Pershing, mother of the future gen. eral could not bear to see this fla g and be unable to fly the Stars and Stripes Nowhere for miles around was there such a fag--nothing but the Stars and Bars could be had.
 Mrs. Pershing obtained surrepti- tiously one of these Confederate em- blems, and from it, with her own hands, she fashioned the Stars and Stripes. Her husband erected 3, tall pole in front of the house and flung the new flag to the breeze as an an- swer to the warning of the bush whackers.
 That afternoon the young store keeper saw one of the disreputable characters of the region, known as Uncle Billy, approaching. Uncle Billy cooked an eye up at the home made Union emblem.
 "I see you-all got 8, flag up"
 "Yes," was the reply, that is my flag"
 Well, the boys hereabouts don't like that. flag. .xT1 They don't mean no trouble. but they say thatA flag. &has got to come down: so if you-alRsthon't t take it down they're coming around tonight and take it down them selves"
 "Well,' was the answer, 'its mighty kind of you to let me know: but you tell those boys that if they come they had better bring their cof- fins with 'em.''
 Preparation For Attack.
 The old man hurried away and Pershing went into the store and called his two assistants. He thought they were loyal to both himself and the Union, but he had to be sure. He put the question plainly to them told them that very likely there would, be a raid that very night.
 "Of course we'll stand by you," they answered; so, after leaving in structions with them, he hastened up to the house, where his wife and the younger children, who had witnessed his talk with Uncle Billy, were anx- iously waiting.
 Mrs. Pershing refused to leave her

& St. Joseph road awoke the echoes If the reader knows how every dweller in a remote village looks for ward to the arrival of a train, how they set their watches by 1t, and are greatly concerned by it's non arrival how an expected train causes great wonderment and speculation-he can realize the bewilderment that this unexpected train whistle caused in the little town of IAaclede nearly 60 years ago. Trains ran seldom at best, and q train at this time of the morning was a thing unheard of.
 Even the raiders stopped in their tracks and listened.
 The Pershings, their eyes intent on the movement of a, shadow, wondered whether this had anything to do with their present predicament. Whether it had or not, 1t aroused the raiders, who, with a wild rebel yell, rushed the house. A stout fence rail in the hands of several men was fast bat tering in the door.
 Relief in the Nick of Time
 Pershing knew it would only be matter of minutes when they would be hand to hand with the foe
 Suddenly the terrific clamor at the door ceased The little household heard new cries on the road and the noise of their late antagonists hurry ing away to the accompaniment of a heavy volley. Knowing that relief had come, they took down the bars at the doors and hastened out.
 It was a glad sight that awaited them, for the first thing that met their eyes was the Stars and Stripes in the hands of an officer in the long unfamiliar uniform of the Union forces.
 Before Pershing could express his thanks to the commander, a little form pushed past him and was ss- 1uting the captain in the way he had been taught. It was little John Pershing who had escaped from the dark closet. The little voice piped: Are you 'merican officer?'
 The officer witl a smile returned his salute and assured him that his assumption was right.
 Well, I'm going to be one, too, when I grow up," asserted the youngster.
 His mother attempted to take him, but Jack clung to the captain until the latter departed with his men.
 This troop was the vanguard of that Union army which was to wipe out the bushwhackers and restore order in the State of Missouri. They
