had to stop and think whether there
was anybody running against jeff Davis
or not He started to speak. mopped his
brow. and remarked:
Its pretty hot. ! think I'll just lay
my coat off"
He took off the coat and walked casual

said coat on the back of a chair AS
he did 80, there arose mighty shout
like unto the roar of a swollen "crick"
through a culvert
1t was his vest that made the hit He
had taken a fairly good vest. so the
story is, and ripped it up the back, and
frayed the edges. and torn II at the

Any one may figure out for himself
what would have happened II the vest
had been one of those SIS tailor-made
plush plaids with dark pearl buttons and
no buckle in the back. That would have
been the final word-for a man to appear
in a vest without the buckle that the
Almighty certainly intended should be on
every vest.
If JEFF Davis could be induced to speak
in the Senate, wearing that torn vest Of
his in plain sight, it would draw we'll. In
the Senate Uncle Jeff always dresses
rather neatly. wearing, as a rule a gray
shirt front, both expansive and chaste,

On another occasion-after the ripped
vest incident-it began to rain while
Uncle JEFF was speaking to an Arkansas
multitude. Somebody produced one OF
those big yellow oil sllckers and passed
1t up to the speaker to protect him from
the untoward elements.
Nav, 1 don't want it," exclaimed
Uncle JEFF, with good-natured Eruffness.
The rain isn't a-going to hurt me. and
do you think I'd stand here keeping dry
and the rest of you getting wet?"
He tossed the coat aside.
The crowd yelled.
Southern politicians are still being pic
tured on the stage, in books, and else
where, as slouchy, slow moving, slow
talking people, without any more alert
ness or physical ambition than an old

Gossip of the Durbar

In personal attendance upon the King
and Queen of England throughout their
visit to India is Sir Edward Henry, who
as commissioner OF the metropolitan po-
lice in London knows more about guard
duty than any other man alive. Special
detectives, familiar with extremists of all
kinds and in all quarters, also accom-
pany the royal party, and it is of interest
to note that a special police act has been
passed In India for the royal visit, where
by even minor offenders may be arrested
without warrant. Particulars Of the
Queens gowns are never allowed to be
given to the public. and it is woe betide
and good-by to royal custom for any
dressmaker employed by the court to di-
vulge any details. But 1t is said that the
Queen is taking with her to India a great
variety of very handsome gowns. Queen
Mary almost invariably wears light col
ors. For the visit to India she has also
been prevailed upon to wear light fabrics,
and all the royal hats for the. Indian
visit are, having regard to the hot sun. a
shade larger than those made for the
Queens wear in England.
For the actual coronation, the Queen
will wear the robes worn at the corona
tion in Westminster Abbey. but these

The display made by the University of Arizona must be especially gratifying to everyone and it will come as a surprise to those who have not had q chance to know the splendid work being done in this institution.

 over in the women's building the great gain over all previous years was seen at the first glance-never was this building so lovely, so dainty, so in harmony with it's name and the exhibits shown in it. Green of fresh balsam- scented pine from the mount aims around Flagstaff (sent down as a gracious gift by two of the lum- Der companies of Arizona) mingled with the plume-like date and deli cate-fringed fan palms of the south ern valleys. and against the white walls made a color harmony restful and refreshing and befitting in the finest sense.
 There seemed to be much more space than in past years there was a real Arizona perspective from the front door down the long aisle be- tween the booths, and overhead there was soft, white light very kindly to the work displayed as we'll as to the eyes of the sight-seers.
 Every booth seemed to be better planned and more attractive than ever before, though in many belated articles were still being hurried into place and some groups will not be at their best for day or two.
