A few days ago Hie w riter journeyed
to Laclede in north Missouri to get
for the Westminister Gazette of Lon-
don the story of General John J Per-
shing's early life. The American1
commander was born near that vil-
lage September 13,,1860.
that the family moved to town, and
young Pershing made his home with
them until he went to West Point and
entered upon his career as a soldier
Nearly everyone of middle life who
had lived long at Laclede was well ac-
quainted with the young man who was
destined to become a noted soldier,
and there were no two opinions as to
his character Over at Hannibal,
where "Mark Twain" spent his boy-
hood. his schoolmates have varied
views about him. some saying he was
mischievous and not enamored of
school, and others declaring that he
was a quiet, steady lad. But all who
were intimate with General Pershing
in his younger days speak enthusias-
tically of his excellent habits and his
determination ' to make something out
of himself.”
One incident they relate about young
Pershing suggests the George Wash-
ington story. He with his brother.
James, and some other boys were
walking along the road near Laclede
one Sunday afternoon when one of
the crowd pointed to some ripening
peaches in Farmer Margrave's or-
chard. Who the leader was in the
subsequently raid is not stated, hut all
wore guilty of climbing into that or-
chard and planning for n quick har-1
vest, when Margrave and a wicked-
looking hog headed tow r l the expe-

of the orcrard was unable to id .....
some things but ho told what had hap-i
