WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Jeff Dav-
Is. senator from Arkansas, Ia clinging
to his billed" shirt, Notwithstanding
reports from home that the Hill billies
of Arkansas are not overly pleased
with his new-fangled idea.
Senator Davis did not wear a collar
when he was campaigning through the
backwoods districts OF Arkansas, much
to the delight of his audiences. When
word went back that he Is dazzling
Washington with the whitest, hard
fronted shirt he could procure, the
backwoodsmen sighed for their tradi-
tons and expressed sorrow that the
''favorite son" should so quickly for
get the institutions of his state.
Out Arkansas way, the impression
prevails that a man who can learn TO
wear a boiled shirt with ease Is liable
to adopt silk hat, dictate his letters
in a photograph, quit chewing to-
bacco and in other ways become for
eign to the manner OF his nelghbors
One thing JEFF Davis clings to close
ly, however. is his daily menu. He
makes no exception, even on Christ
mas day. in satisfying his appetite. A
clerk asked him II he enjoyed his
Christmas dinner.
"ToIerably,r said the big senator. :
Turkey was raised by one OF your
admirers, SUPPOSE" said the clerk.
Didn't have any turkey" said JEFF.
What? No turkey on Christmas
day.

cause he has a most difficult task to
accomplish. Bob Is n fiddler and Is a
master OF all the old classics which
have done duty at, square dances In
this country since people had enough
time to spare from Indian fighting to
enjoy themselves.
Bob Is now intent on learning rag
time and, although he has been advis-
ed that rag-time on fiddle Is impos-
sible. he says there is no truth In such
an assertion.
You can play anything on fiddle
that can be played on any other In

with indignation and dignifiedly refus-

him how about the piccolo. mouth or.

Uncle Joe always drafted" the STUFF
and commented that II he left 1t home

broken. Between the two grievances

The speaker was In the cloak room

Mr.. Cannon was delighted at the re-
