Love, Owner of the "Billy," Was Furious When He Found His Pet Dead in Center of Village Pershing Not Afraid of Rattlers, but First Chew Was Too Much for Him Raid on Peach Orchard Was Rank Failure. Peach orchards, since time Imme morial, have been an attraction which few small boys could resist. John Pershing was no exception. John.with several of his "gang" was walking on the outskirts of the town one Sunday morning and stopped to rest near the home of Farmer Margrave. Now in all Laclede there was no finer peach orchard than Farmer Margrave's and never be fore or since, if one believes the story, did the peaches appear more alluring than on this particular Sun day. Ripe, luscious looking, they were an attraction that John and the boys with him could not over look. A few words were passed and John were Grace, born March 29, 1859; Rose and Ruth, twins, born in 1872; Ward P., born March 29, 1874, and Fred G., born in 1877. The twins and Fred died in infancy. Grace and Ward lived many years, Grace to become the wife of Rich ard B. Paddock, an officer, who fell in the Boxer campaign, Ward to be come a captain in the United States army. Grace died in 1904. Her son, Richard B. Paddock, jr., is a major on his uncle's staff in France. Ward died in 1909. Mr. Love was the first with whom I talked. Lee Love, Laclede people call him. What Schoolmate Say. "The first clear memories I have of John," Mr. Lovftold me, "ar when we were both about 9 or 10 years old. We sat together beside each other in school. I do not re call that John was particularly bril liant But he was a 'p lugger. He stuck to a task until he mastered it Let me tell you a story of him to illustrate what I mean. One day I was sent for a load of lumber near the Pershing farm. I saw John in the brush. He bent over, poking among the leaves with a stick, ap parently looking for something he had lost. '"What yon hunting? I asked him. "'Buzzers,' he replied. "I didn't know what "buzzers" were, but I decided if John wanted a 'buzzer' I wanted one, too. So I joined him. In about a minute I learned what 'buzzers' were rat tlesnakes. Yes, sir, that was what John was hunting rattlesnakes. One of them almost got me. John killed it just as it was about to strike."

Everything was going nice ly, just as the young leader of the raiding party had planned, when Farmer Margrave suddenly appeared on thei scene. Retreat was inevi table and it came, wild and hasty, be fore the advance of the irate farm er. It was a , successful 'retreat. Farmer Margrave could not catch one of the raiders, could not even get near enough to them to recog nize them. The whole town learned of the raid a few hours later and suspicion pointed to John. Forgive Stealing; Not Lying. Mr. Pershing, he was superintend ent of the Sunday school of the Methodist church at the time heard of it and called John before him. Whether John had ever read of George Wasington and the cherry tree is not known. But anvwav. John, 'like George, confessed his guilt and told the whole story, ab solving the other boys. No blame should attach to them, he told his father, as he was the first to think of raiding the orchard and directed the raid. "Got any of the peaches, John?" his father asked. "No. sir," the boy replied. "We had to leave too quickly." "Well." said Mr. Pershing, after a few moments of reflection, "if Mr. Margrave should ever ask you about the affair look him in the eye and tell him the truth. I guess the Lord understands what a tempta tion an orchard or a watermelon patch is to a boy, but He will not stand for lying." ' Hanged the Goat It was about this time in the gen eral's life, the time of the peach orchard raid, that an incident hap pened whichj Laclede recalls today old Laclede. Ask anyone of those old Laclede folks about Captain Love's goat. We had lust planted the park then," Mr. Lomax said. "One night Captain Loves goat broke loose and went to the park for a banquet. He ate several of the trees. - I hose he didn t eat ne stripped of bark. John and I and some of the other boys decided that Mr. Goat had eaten his last txee. Next night, led by John, we caught Mr. Goat. We hanged him. Yes, sir, we hanged him to the band stand in the park. Of course Cap tain Love's wrath was terrible. He offered a Teward of $25 for the ap prehension of anyone who took part in the hanging. The reward is still unpaid." His First Chew. The general's brother, "Jim" Pershing, has many interesting tales to recount of those childhood days. There is one in particular, the story of the first time he and John ever chewed tobacco. "John was 14 and I was about 12,'r Mr. Pershing said. "I think perhaps we had tried to smoke be fore. But we never tried to. chew. One of the boys, Hawkins, offered us a bite out of his plug of navy. We accepted it and we bit into the plug generously. We did- not want Hawkins to" think we were molly coddles. Since that day I always smile when people talk of being seasick. They really do not know what misery is. "And you know," Mr. Pershjng concludes this anecdote, "somehow John and I never had the same ven eration for Hawkins aftef that day." The Family Record. Meantime the Pershing family had increased. Brothers and sisters arrived. First came James F jr., always called Jim. He was born February IS. 1862. Next came Mary Elizabeth, al ways called Bessie. She was born June 10, 1864. Three years later, on June30, 1867, Ann May, always known as May, was born. They are alive today. ' Other children of the Pershings Reading the stars she saw Venus in the ascendant. That meant love. "Elope," said her Dream Book, "but beware of a blonde woman." Then a wicked black cat ambled across her path, and a "dark man" brought more adventures into her life than her fortunate for-tune-teller ever con cocted. Today, Friday, Sat.

It Is ao wonder that many and raried suggestions along thla' line appear from time to time ia publie print. v While eseesslva thinness might be at tributed to' various and subtle senses ia different Individuals, it is a wol!knew fact that the Isok of sufficient phoa. phorous In the human system Is very largely responsible for this condition. ' Es' perlments on humans and animals by many scientists have demonstrated beyond question of doubt that a body deficient in phosphorous becomes nervous," sickly and thin. A noted author and professor in his book, "Chemistry and Food Nutri tion," pqbliehed la 1918, saysi that the amount of phosphorous required for the normal nutrition of man Is seri ously underestimated la many ef eu? standard text books." hit s : i :-W Georgia Hamilton, tha svonaterrei "movh' girl, who warn one thin anal frail, iaytt ' Bitro-Photphatm iraagAf about tha magic transformation, J aainmJ IS pound and never bofotw fmt iosvef." It seems to be well established that this deficiency In phosphorous may now be met by the use of an organis phos phate known throughout English speak ing countries as Bitro-Phosphate. Through the assimilation of this phosphate by the nerve tissue the phosphoric content when absorbed in the amount Bormally required by nature soon produces a wel come change in our body and mind. Nerve tension disappears, vigor and strength re place weakness and lack of energy, and the whole body , soon loses its ugly hol lows and abrupt angles, becoming en veloped in a glow of perfect health and beauty and the will and strength to be UP and doing. Fhyslelans are now reeornlsina' Its merits by its us in ever increasing quantities. Frederick Kolle. M. D., editor of New York Physicians' ''Who's Who." says: "Bitro-Wiosphata should be pre scribed by every doctor and used la every hospital to increase strength and nerve force and to enrich tha blood." Joseph D. Harrigan. Former vlaltinar Specialist to North Eastern Dispensatory, says: xet those who are weaky thin, nervous, anaemic, or run-down, 'take a natural, unadulterated substance such as bitro-Dhosphate and you will soon aea some astonishing results In the increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power of endurance." Bitro-Phosphate Is made entirely at the organic phosphate compound referred to ia tne national standard Dispensatory as being a preparation which has neentl acquired . considerable reputation ia the treatment of neurasthenia. The standard of excellence, strength and purity : of its substance is beyond question, for every Bitro-Phosphate tablet is manufactured ia strict accordance with the U. 8. Pharma copoeia test requirements. Bitro-Phos phate is therefore not a patent medicine and should not be confused with any ef the secret nostrums, so-called toaios er widely advertised cure-alls. . CAUTION : While Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief .of nervousness, general debility, etc, those taking It who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods. MEXICAN; PLANT i MAY CONQUER BRIGHT'S DISEASE New York. Physicians who have tested the sap of the Mexican maguey plant in the treatment of diseases of the kidneys believe that an important discovery has been made. Writing in La Escuela de Medicine, the leading Mexican medicine journal, the editor says : "It is the only substance known up to the present time. In the whole world, having the power to radically and permanently overcome Brtght'a Disease." Reports of dtflnlte results in a, large number of ehronie and long standing eases of kidney trouble created a persistent de mand for this sap, which is popularly known under the name of AGMEL, and considerable quantities are being imported into the United States. The Arrow Chemical 'Co., 25J1 Union Square, New York City, will mail to those interested a free desoriptive booklet; or upon receipt of $3.00 -a full sited bottle of AGMEL, containing 836 cubic centi meters of pure concentrated sap, will be sent to any address in the U. 8.
