?GO-GETTJ$R? PERSHING.
The name, "Go-Getter" Pershing,
aeeording to a writer in The Saturday
Evening Post, suits Gen. Pershing
(better than any other. When he
Bteps into his car he says to the
driver: "Let's go where we're going."
And there is a swirling cloud of dust
What he thinks of the American sol-(
dier is summed up in a portion of his
address in El Paso:

earth. He will march all day, dig all
night and sing at his work if he
thinks hi? officers are doing the same
thing. But if he makes a forced
march with a fun kit and sees some
empty trucks passing, he can see no
reason why he should not toss nis
pack into a truck. And I don't blame
bim a bit/'
Pershing is a fine figure of a man?
tall, straight and clean-cut. There
is not an ouee of superfluous weight
in his six feet of dynamic body. He
walks with the easy swing of youth,
though his close-cropped wavy hair is
pray. Were he twenty years younger

JiUe a Greek god. for his features
aire finely chiseled. But there is power:
in every line of them.

Convincing Evidence
Pat Flasherty, very plainly not a
prohibitionist, was arrested in Arizona
recently charged with selling
liquor in violation of the prohibition
law. But Pat had an impregnable defense.
His council, in addressing the jury,
said:
"Your honor, gentlemen of the jury,
look at the defendant."

(CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One Dreads That His Charcoal Burner
Will Be Destroyed Although Indifferent
as to Himself.
It is extraordinary v/>hat curious
fears some soldiers have. One fighter j
always dreads that his charcoal iirej
will be destroyed by a shell. Ke al-;
ways places the burner in the most;
protected part of the trench, but remains
quite indifferent in regard to
his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear oif a soldier
at the front is that of having
his bootlaces untied. Nothing else ha3
terrors for him, from bayonet fighting
to asphyxiating gases. But he is
quite certain that if his bootlaces are
loose he will trip over them and breai |
his neck. He always examines his laces
to see if they are properly fastened.
Another soldier who has been
through the thick of the fighting i3
terribly frightened of sr i through
a wood, and would rz * \v; lk miles
around -it than half a u ough it.
He has the fear that so^ .ay a tree
will suddenly fall and crush him.
Many soldiers have a horror of losing
their identity disks, or of being
unidentified if they are killed, and buried
in' a pameles grave. One man ds
known to carry little scraps of paper
in every pocket, giving his name and
regiment, so that his body may be recognized
if he is killed.

Harry james, the noted novelist,!
does not agree with Colonel Roosevelt
on the question of large families,
Small families, such as prevail in
France, indicate to Mr. James' mind
intelligence and progress, while large
families indicate the reverse.
'Large families are so embarrassing,
too," said Mr. James on his last
American visit. "I once knew a man
named Thompson who had fourteen
children. Thompson agreed, one

"I have a wife and child, and see no
