since killed in action. John asked
the captain to have all the Laclede
boys step out ot ranks. The boys
did and John shook hands with each
of them, inquiring their names.
"When he reached Wesley he
asked him:
"'Are you Lee Love's son?'"
"Wesley said he was, and John
the general told him to be sure,
when he wrote to me, to be sure to
remember him to me."
I talked next with Mr. Adams,
Frank Adams, the Laclede folks
called him.
Strong as an Indian.
"John," Mr. Adams told me, "was
the first boy I met when I went to
school. We were together for many
years all our early school days. I
was his seatmate and from 9 o'clock
each school day until 4 in the aft
ernoon we were together. He was
a goodly boy to look upon, as I re
call him now, slender and straight
as an Indian, strong as an Indian,
too. I never remember him being
sick.
"And study! He was the most
earnest boy about his lessons I ever
remember. He took them seriously
at all times. He was especially in
terested in mathematics and easily
led the class in that subject. But
then he led in everything."
Not an Unusual Boy.
Mr. Bigger Clay Bigger has
known John Pershing as long as
Mr. Adams. The friendship has
continued through all the years.
"But to save my soul," Mr. Big
ger declared, "I can't recall anything
unusual about John when he was a
schoolboy. You know the career of
a great man is built slowly. John
was not a precocious boy. He was
just an ordinary boy who, studied
hard. His improvement ' was so
gradual we did not notice it. There
were classmates who at times might
'spell him down' or answer a prob
lem more quickly. But John was al
ways ready for the step ahead. That
is the secret of his rise to greatness.
He always had a definite goal and
he always seized every opportunity
that offered for a chance of ad
vancement." "Aunt Susan" Tells Story.
A rare, sweet old woman is Aunt
Susan Hewitt. She came to La
clede from the south in 1864 with
her husband, Captain Jacob Hewitt.
War had swept away their home in
the Potomac valley, their home and
all ther earthly possessions, and
they came to Laclede to start life
anew. They opened a hotel the old
Missouri House. The schools John
attended still stand. One is used to
day as a barn, the other is used as a
dwelling by a negro family. But the
old Missouri House is gone.
"Tell you of General Pershing!"
Aunt Susan exclaimed, when I made
known to her the purpose of my
mission. "Indeed I will. T am never
so happy as when telling of John.
Oh, but I did love him. And he
did love his Aunt Susan does to
day. "I have known John since he was
6 years old. He strayed into the
hotel one day with a little negro boy,
the son of a colored woman em
ployed by me. I was in the kitchen
cooking, making apple tarts. I gave
John a tart and a bond was sealed
between us that moment that never
will be broken. He adopted me. I
guess I adopted him. too. Oh, what
a pretty, lovable child he was with
his tow head and clear blue eyes.
Came After Pies.
"Every day for years after that
even after he grew to be a young
man he would come and visit me.
He had a regular formula for that
visit. He would step into the kitch
en where I would be cooking. I can
shut my eyes," and Mrs. Hewitt did,
"and see him now the prettiest boy
in the world.
"'How do you do, Mrs. Hewitt?'
he would say that is, the first time.
After that it was always Aunt Su
san. " 'How do you do, John?' I would
reply.
"'Makin pies, Mrs. Hewitt?' he'd
next inquire.
" 'Yes, John,' I'd say.
" 'May I have a piece, Mrs. Hew
itt?' he'd say.
"Then I would give him a piece,
or a tart or a cookie fill his hands
with goodies. How happy he would
be as he walked away munching
them.
"John has been back here since he
went into the army," she continued.
Takes Her to Reception.
"I recall a day when I was out
in my back yard raking up some
leaves. A knock sounded on the
door and I went in answer to find
Uncle Henry Lomax standing on
the porch. 'A gentleman to see
you, Aunt Susan,' he said. I saw
a man over by the wall, his back
to me. I recognized him at once.
'John,' I called. He came right
over running and took me in his
arms and kissed me and kissed me.
"He stayed and talked for a long
time, speaking of his boyhood days
and of his life in the Philippines.
Later that same afternoon he re
turned to my house. He told me
that he was to. be given a recep
tion at Pete Felt's home Pete Felt,
who lives in Quincy, 111., now. John
said I must come to the reception;
that he would come and get me. He
did. He called for me with a horse
and buggy and drove me over.
Roosevelt Sends for Him.
"The house was filled with peo
ple. John made a speech, then told
the folks that he must be excused
that President Roosevelt had sent
for him and that he must catch the
next train east. He drove me home
and kissed me goodby. I have not
seen him since, but I often hear of
him. He always speaks of me as
tenderly as if I were his mother."

The Way Madge "Handled" Mr.
Prentiss.
A flash of intuition warned me
what Alice Holcombe meant to say
to Mr. Prentiss of the school board,
and I made a desperate effort to
stop her for I knew what incalcu
lable ha rm she might do both her
self and the man whose cause she
was so zealously championing.
"Alice!" I exclaimed imperatively,
as if I had just remembered some
thing important, "the teachers must
be told of the closing of the schools
at once, for it is nearly time for the
pupils to come. Will you attend to
it please? And I will get whatever
instructions Mr. Prentiss has for
us."
I was transgressing all the un
written rules of seniority, to say
nothing of those surrounding com
mon courtesy, in thus addressing my
colleague as if I were her superior
officer in the school. But I counted
upon my friend's ' natural surprise
at my unprecedented manner to
turn her attention to me.
My ruse succeeded. She looked
up startled with resentment in her
eyes. But I had stepped as if care
lessly to one side, and from a van
tage point nearly behind the broad
back of Mr. Prentiss I gave her an
imperative signal for silence and
obedience. I held my breath in the
uncertainty over what she meant to
do, was relieved indeed to see sud
den assent, though sullen and un
comprehending in her eyes.
"Very well," she said quietly, and
left the room.
Mr. Prentiss looked after her with
puzzled eyes.
"What ails Alice Holcombe?" he
jsked testily. "She is always a
little " Mr. Prentiss searched widly
for the word he wanted, brought up
"offish" at last with an air of tri
umph "but she looked wild-tyed
just now, as if she would like to
scratch my eyes out."
He stopped -to chuckle apprecia
tively at his own quip and the pause
gave me time to gather my own
scattered wits.
"You must remember, Mr. Pren
tiss," I said in my most dignified
manner, "that Miss Holcombe was
perhaps the nearest friend of both
Mr. and Mrs. Stockbridge. I under
stand she has known them both
since childhood, and this thing has
been a great shock to her. She is
hardly responsible for what she says
or does just now. But of she is
given a little time she will soon be
her own poised self again."
The "Instructions.'
Mr. Prentiss looked at me with a
glance which he evedently intended
to be the quintessence of shrewd
ness. "I suppose so, I suppose so." he
said. "Yes, yes. But it would bi
very unfortunate for her, very un
fortunate, if she should happen to
take the wrong attitude in this affair.
What do you think about it all Mrs.
Graham?"
I made my face as inscrutable as
possible, my voice crisp and matter-of-fact.
"I have no opinion whatever to
express in' the matter," I replied
"And it certainly cannot matter to
anyone in Bay view what my views
are. My contract expires at the
end of this school year, less than a
month away. I have not the slight
est intention of renewing it, and I
should welcome any opportunity to
cancel it now.- I am only staying
on because I do not wish to leave
Miss Holcombe or the school in the
Skinner's the Best

lurch. It is not exactly pleasant to
be involved ever so remotely in so
sordid a happening as this, and I dis
tinctly -do not wish to discuss it."
I had the pleasure of seeing Mr.
Prentiss's jaw drop in amazed char
grin. It evidently had not occurred
to him that any women privileged to
teach in the sacred precincts of the
schools guarded by his authority
would have the temerity to flout
both.
"This is news to me, news to me,"
he stammered, "that you do not ex
pect to return to us." Then as the
realization of my boldness filtered
into his conciousness he added
hastily. "But perhaps it is just as
well, just as well."
"I am sure it is," I returned,
smil'"ng"And now if you will give
me any instructions you have, I will
endeavor to carry them out to the
best of my ability."
"Why why the thing ought to
be very simple," he said. "Simply
tell the pupils to stay away until
after the funeral, which is day after
to morrow. The day after that they
will return here."
Mr. Prentiss Departs.
"What about the teachers?" I
asked.
"Have them report each morn
ing and noon, do anything that is
necessary, then they may have the
rest of the time to themselves," he
answered with great magnaminity.
My gorge rose at the pretty
tyranny which would compel the
teachers to report when there was
absolutely nothing for them to do,
but I knew better than to question
the august gentleman's authority.
"Very well. I shall attend to
everything," I promised.
"Of course I shall expect either
you or Miss Holcombe to remain in
charge here during the usual office
hours kept by Mr. Stockbridge," Mr.
Prentiss said stiffly. "You may
arrange your hours among your
selves." "Thank you." If he comprehended
the mockery in my voice he did not
betray his knowledge, simply bade
me a stately "Good morning," and
steered his course with all the sails
of his dignity set for the open
course of the school grounds.

Say Packing Houses
Use So Much Water
District Is Left Dry
The city council yesterday auth
orized Commissioner Towl to con
fer with the Metropolitna W'ater
board with a view of obtaining re
lief for water consumers in the vi
cinity of Twenty-seventh and C
streets.
The complaint is that a main
serving the packing houses some
times leaves householders without
pressure, and also jeopardizes fire
protection.
"A man told me that he filled a
barrel with water for use in time
of need, leaving a hose in the bar
rel," said Mr. Towl. "He also said
that when the packing houses were
using water the suction was so
strong all of the water was drawn
out of his barrel back into the
main."

POLICE SAY BOYS
ADMIT ROBBERY
OF FOURJTOBES
Youths Said to Have Formed
Organization for Commit
tinci Thefts and Disposing
- s
of Loot.
An organization of boys to com
mit thefts and to immediately dis
pose of the loot, was revealed yes
terday through the arrest of
Harold and Asel Allen, 14 and 16
years old respectively, 902 North
Sixteenth street, and Phillip Dine,
14 years old, 2002 Webster street
AH are charged with burglary. -
They are said to have made con
fessions to burgalizing four stores
during the past week. A .small part
of the loot, consisting principally of
cigarets and tobacco, has been re
covered. The youths "sold the rest of the
loot, police say. The boys were
turned over to juvenile authorities.
"We just got together and plan
ned raids," young Dine told detec
tives. "We got away with 'em, too,
until some punk who found our hid
ing place squealed. We wanted to
show that we were just as clever as
the big crooks."
The four places entered by the
boys, according to the police, were
Harry Reuben's grocery, 2424 Sher
man avenue; the soft drink parlors
of Larry Dwyer, Sixteenth and
Nicholas streets, and Sardo & Co.,
902 North Sixteenth street. The
last burglary by the boys was in the
Basket store, Sixteenth and Cuming

A large quantity of groceries and
meats were taken from that place
Wednesday night.
On each instance the rear window
was broken. From evidence of the
robbery of Reuben's grocery on two
consecutive nights, August 27 and
28, police worked on the theory that
professional crooks committed the
job.
