gone over there an. Near train
time l fell in with DR.. and Mrs. r. W.
Gay, and accompanied them to the
eanteen to await the arrival of the
train and see DR.. Lee Petit Gay, n
of the L~ieutenants of the Unit. Soon
the train came putting in, and there
on the front platform stood our own
Lee Petit, larger and handsomer, ana
still just the same boy that grew up in
our old town. When the train came
to a standstill, it was a wonderful sight
to see the friends find their own par
ticular loved one. And the boys
seemed just as happy as father, or
mother or wife or sister or sweet
heart. 1t vat a glorious reunion. 10
some of us that reunion cannot come,
because the boy we loved rests over
there, and yet l do not believe any
people in the world will sympathize
\ SO much with the happiness of those
who were reunited as will we. Our
loss has made us know what it means,
and / felt that morning out in the st.
Louis train yards that l had had a
little of the foretaste of that grand re-
union what awaits US hereafter.
Thank God many of u boys are
coming back. At the time of this
writing DR.. Lee Petit Gay has re-
ceived his discharge and is at home
here with his parents.

The Girls Glee Club, directed by
Mrs. Mayfeld Huff, will give a black
face minstrel show at the Academy of
| Music Friday evening, May 9th, at
8:l5. Admission, 25 cents. The girls
have been working on their Minstrel
for several months and the program
has been planned in such a way as
to please everybody. There are
choral selections from the operas,
semi classical songs, and bits of rag
time-all woven together by clever
conversations, jokes, and funny
characterizations. Just to say t'It's a
Real Minstrel" means that it will be
highly entertaining. With a chorus
OF nineteen voices, three comic quar-
tets, six solos, the parts Of end girls,
who keep up a lively play of darkey
mimicry, and one Grand Parade, the
Minstrel ought to be worth while. The
program lie given in full elsewhere in
this issue.

pupils at the Academy of Music last

instruction. The numbers by the

Are They Necessary

Do you wear silk stockings? Mrs.
Anthony Rother, in a divorce court
in Detroit said. no woman can be
happy or maintain her responsibility
while wearing cotton stockings"
Silk stockings. she told the court,
are the panacea for the average
woman's ills She charged her hus-
band with supreme cruelty for fore
ing her to wear cotton ones, despite
his $4,000 in the bank. The court
gave her divorce. If Anthony had
$4,000 in the bank and his wife
only wanted some silk stockings he
should have been made to buy them
Tor her. He was a darned old stingy
whelp On the other hand, we say
that Mrs. Rother could maintain her
responsibility and wear cotton stock
ings How would anyone know
what kind of stockings she wore un-
less she showed them?

About Gen. Pershine

Daniel Pershing. Frenchman
who loved liberty and could not
stand German tyranny in Alsace,
migrated to free America and made
his way to Pennsylvania. His son,
John F. Pershing, the father of the
commander of the present American
army in France, went to Missouri
and it was there in 1860 that the
great American hero. John. j. Per.
shiDg, was born.
Ills father resisted the attempts
made by neighbors to haul down
the American flag at the beginning
of the Civil War The boy, John j
Pershing, was ambitious and studi
Gus and when his family met with
financial reverses, taught school,
He gained appointment to West
Point by competitive examination,
winning over his nearest coll peti
tor by one point. AS a lieutenant
he fought the Indians and made a
record for gallantry. He became
instructor at West Point but when
the Spanish American war broke
out asked to be sent to Cuba. He
participated in the battle of San
Juan Hill.
His only surrender was to Cupid
and that was victory; he won the
hand of Frances Warren. He went
to Japan as military attache of the
American Embassy. While there
he detected the beginning of the
great German plot to rule the world
He then went to the Philippines and
won fame by subduing the Moros
President Roosevelt made him a
Brigadier General He took com.
mand of the Preside in San Fran
cisco and left his wife and four
children there when he was sent to
Mexico to subdue Villa. The German
agents in Mexico decided to break
Pershing's heart by destroying his
family. Their home at the Preside
was set on fire and his wife and
three of his children persisted. Per-
shine continued his work in Mexico
until he was sent by President vii.

President Wilson has definitely
decided to call a special session of
Congress, probably May 18th. is the
report from France. 1t is now vir.
tually certain that the President
will be unable to return home in
time personally to appear before
Congress with the peace treaty, for
ratification by the senate. There
fore, it is understood he has decided
to call the session in the middle of
the month in order to work out
financial problems and enact appro.
priation bill which failed of passage
at the last session because of the
Republican filibuster.

widow which he did in his very best
style. Being a business man and
used to signing many letters. he
absent mindedly signed the love

be having considerable difficulty in
making the whole thing clear to the
widow and also to his wife.
