Pershing's Big Stunt as Boy Was
Hanging Goat to Band Stand
Capt. 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."

The old swimming hole, Lotus creek, near Laclede, where General Pershing swam and fished as a boy.
deployed his "gang," one boy to a-
tree and himself to the largest tree
of all. 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.

While eseesslva thinness might be at

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?

"movh' girl, who warn one thin anal

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
