A sample of Jack Pershings Justice
his justice when he was but graduated
from West Point, a second lieutenant
serving at Fort Wingate. New Mexico,
during the Apache campaign, makes an
interesting anecdote. The story was
told to me by one of Jack Pershings
classmates at West Point, Maj. Henry
Clay Keene, retired. OF Boston. at pres
ent commandant of the Springfield ar
mory. in Springfield. Mass. OF whom
have written before.
Jack" the major said to me when
called upon him in Springfield, had
occasion one day to discipline, quite
stiffly and severely, two privates. He
was out a few nights later walking
near the fort-on his way back to
| headquarters-when he passed the two
| men. They made some insulting re-
marks about that damned shave tail
| lieutenant
"Now Jack, as their superior Off
GER, could, of course, have disciplined
them again--guard house for insubor-
dination and all that. Did he? Not
Jack. There and then on the road Jack
stepped up to them pulled off his coat
and sailed into them. He licked them
both.
There was no more talk by them
| by any enlisted men after that-of
that shave tail lieutenant"
| Shortly after his successful round
ing up of the Cree Indians-on October
16, 1896, to be exact-Jack Pershing
went on leave of absence. He was on
leave until December II the same year,
when he was ordered to the headquar-
| tiers of the army in Washington. He
reported three days later and served
on the staff of General Miles until May
| I, 1897. Then he returned to Fort AS
sinniboine. remaining there a month.
On June l. 1897, he was ordered to the
United States Military Academy at
West Point as an assistant instructor
of tactics--a tao as the cadets at
WAt Point say. and as Jack Pershing
himself had called his tactical ins.cuc-
tors not SO many years before.
Jack Pershing reached West Point
on June IS, 1897.
That day he ceased to be Jack Per-
shing.
Ever afterward he was Black Jack.
| Why? How did he get that name
One may ask scores of army Off
cers-Black Jacks most intimate
friends. They cannot answer They
know it is so. But the why the how
of it-they are as ignorant as the world
in general, which believes the name
was given General Pershing because
of his supposed complexion, light hair,
somewhat gray, light mustache. mostly
gray. and light blue eyes-was called
| "Towhead" when he was a boy.

has it.

Dear Margery: This is a beauti-
full bungalow, typical of southern
California, here your girl now lives
few days ere returning home after
her long vacation. Mrs. Blacks a
charming little woman, and a born
mother, with noble ideals for her
two splendid youngsters.
You see DR.. Wilkins refused to al
low me to go directly home. He
feven cautioned me that my children
); must not board here with me, be
cause I'd be worrying over them and
become nervous. Doctors are queer
creatures; however, my children are
here, days, and Don sees them home
nights. I do worry over them.
Every passing auto look out with
dread for fear Denny is in the
street! Mrs. Black implores me to
keep still.
Old Murdy would often sit by me
out on the Neranda upstairs and talk
20 me. 1 grew to like her and feel 1
knew her girls in Canada.
[ assisted the nurses in making sur
gIcal dressings, so as to get my
mind off of myself! You see lots
of folks who need to work at some
thing in order to forget self! Then,
they recover more rapidly.
My last Sunday evening at the hos
pltal sat out on screened Veranda
above the grassy lawn and eucalyp-
tuS trees waving gently below, famed
by a blessed breeze. Don had been
with the children that afternoon. 1
asked him not to come at evening.
but remain home and rest. So
settled myself down to listen to the
: songs at our church across the way
was in pensive mood. Alone, I sat
and thought. 1 knew I'd soon be
gone.
Was I glad? Yes. in way, but
grateful for blessings bestowed at
the hospital. Loving everybody
there, because it was sort of a fam
lily, after all, 1 was leaving behind
me. And. they'd been so good to
me. L felt I sort of belonged!
Musing along, L was suddenly in
terrupted by the pianos prelude at
our church. Then the voices rang
knew they sang it to me, just as
they'd done so often before.
There's a church in the valley by
the wildwood,
No loVlier spot in the dale;
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the
vale"
Then followed the chorus and more
stanZas, while my mind went back
to Dixie land. and I was again at
''The church in the Wildwood" and
as they sang l just cried. Why not?
Nobody around me. Alone, l loved
to cry!
Soon I heard a soft pitty-pat draw
ing nearer, and before L had time to

Miss Mary: L am a girl twelve
years old and going with boy Is.
Now do you think we are too young to
marry? My mother knows when we
are to marry and she has no objec-
ton. Is it all right for girl of my
age to go to see a boy that she is
engaged to while he is sick? L will
describe myself: Brown eyes, brown
hair and medium complexion. How
do you think L look? How should
I fix my hair? Please answer all
these questions. k. w.
ANSWER-I can't understand
how a mother can even consider
allowing a twelve-year-old girl
to think about marrying. If you
girls who are so eager to marry,
while you are still babies, could
read all the sad letters [ receive
from poor little wives of four
teen and fifteen and sixteen
you'd think a long, long time be-
fore you exchanged the joyous
playdays Of childhood for. the
long, long road of matrimony.
Besides, no county clerk in the
world would issue a marriage
license for you unless you tell
an untruth about your age. A
girl your age has no business
should not go to see a boy who
is i'll, even though she is ZEN
gagged to him.
/ cannot tell how you look
from your description.
1 am a girl of 16 and am going
with a boy of II. We are engaged to
be married when we set older. My
parents object to me going with
boys that drink and one night we
went to a party and took a drink.
1 came back with him. Do you think
I did right? He has promised me he
would never drink any more. What
should / do when two boys game to
see me in the same afternoon? How
should a girl of my age fix her hair
and how long should l wear my
dress? EDITH.
ANSWER-A boy of seven
teen would be unusual if he
hadn't a fault or two. The boy,
undoubtedly, did wrong to take
drink; but since it is his first
faithfully never to do it again,
[ think you might forgive him
this time. Try to make both
boys enjoy themselves, be i'm
partial with your attention to
them, and avoid any suggestion
of Irritation. Just be friendly
and jolly. The length of your
dresses depends a great deal on
your height and weight. They
should be about to your shoe
tops. See the issue of June 10th
for a pretty way to do your
hair. also read this department
regularly. Why not subscribe to
"a good fashion magazine? 1t
would help you wonderfully with
your clothes problems.
