Well, here's a piece of Pershing’s
record which shows wlmt kind of
stuff he Is made of—that he can study
as well as fight. Back In the early
nineties, ‘after he had Spent arduous
years chasing Apaches und Sioux, he
was assigned ns instructor In military
tactics at the University of Nebraska
and'remained there four years.
... Most voting officers would have
"coirKTde‘rV(VltiTH'tr'g<io<f'eli?rnVe"Trrih.,iT
or, at least, to.take a rest. Nothing
to do hut superintend the drill of the
college boys and deliverJa few ele-
mentary lectures.
But not so Pershing. He saw an
opportunity to put down a solid found-
Ration which would some ilay'*stund
--him, he thought, la good stead. He
ITT entered and completed the course at
the university law ftchool In addition
— te Mi regular- duties.; IHs degree M
bachelor of laws came at the end of
an arduous four years, indeed.
Right after the close of the Rpnnlsh-
Amertcan war Pershing’s farsighted-
ness and Industry bore the. natural
fruit.

somewhat stiff and serious young sol-

later. '
Tragedy of Pershing’* Life.
The awful tragedy of Pershing's
llfetcame In 1015, when his wife and
three little girls were burned to death
In a fire at the Presidio In Sun Frnn-
ctsco. A boy, Warren, alone survived.
To go back to Roosevelt and his
commendation of the Moro campaign:
The president nominated Pershing to
be a brigadier general, the youngest
of that rank ever known In the United
States army except In War time. He
.luptped the dashing fighter over the
heads of. 802 other officer*. The sen- -
ate first looked askance at the pro-
motion, because Senator Warren, Per-
shing’s father-in-law, was ehulrman
of tho military affairs committee, hut
finally confirmed It.
When the fatal fire took place In
the Presidio, Pershing was doing Mex-
ican border duty. He went to San
Francisco for a few days, then choked
down ht* sorrow nnd returned to his
duty, a little- grimmer, but as kindly
at heart as ever.

administrative expedience to organize
the government of America's new

around for such n man. Pershing-had
had-an excellent record In the Cuban

^tboroughnes? nod his knowledge of

chosen, to organize the bureau of In-
