the Flynn Morris fight which was to
have taken place Mt Tulsa on July
Fourth. The governor goes further
and states that the fight will be pre-.
vented II 1t takes the entire state
militia to do it. In letter TO Sheriff
j. W. Barry, the sheriff OF Creek
County the governor closes by saying:
The question as to whether or not a
prize fight should be permitted in
this state is not debatable. No mat
ter what may be the private opinion
of the public officials, or how strong
local sentiment may be upon the
question, the law is plain. and it is

Iefferson Davis and His Nerves.


Jefferson Davis shrank from the
sight Of every form Of suffering, even
In Imagination. When the Babes In
the Wood" was first read to him, a
grown man, in time Of illness, he
would not endure the horror OF it.
His sympathy with the oppressed was
almost abnormal, $50 that says MIS-.
Davis, 1T was difficult matter to
keep order with children and serv-
ants" All this shows that he was
nervous, sensitive, which is a terrieis
handicap to a leader Of men. He SUE
fered always from nervous dyspepsia
and neuralgia and "came home from
his Office fasting, a mere mass OK
throbbing nerves and perfectly ez-
hausted." He was keenly susceptible
to the atmosphere about him, especial
" to the moods Of people, abnormal
" sensitive to disapproval. Even a
chilfs disapproval discomposed him.
And Mrs. Davis admits that this SEN
sitiyeness and acute feeling Of being
misjudged made him reserved and I'M
approachable. It made him touchy as
to his dignity also, and there are ste
ries of his cherishing grudge for
some Insignificant or imagined slight
and Furnishing the author of it.-Gama-
liel Bradford, Jr, in Atlantic.

lrvino and His Money.

John Hare, the English actor, said
that one of the failings charged to
Irving's account was that Of extrava-
gance-that he did not know the value
of money. It is quite true he did not
know the value of money for himself,
but he knew its value to others. He
knew its value to the poor and help
less, and to these he gave with a
lavish hand.
Once, not long before his death,
playing three nights engagement in
an unpretentious midland town, his
habit was to drive nightly to the thea
ter "a very short distance from his
hoteD in the same dilapidated fly. The
fare was shilling The conveyance
was shabby. the driver old, poor and
worn out. At the conclusion of the
engagement, on entering his hotel, Iry-
ing said to the landlord, Have you
paid the cabmany' "Yes, Sir Henry"
what did you give him for himself:'
II gave him half a crown, Sir Henry
"Give him a sovereign" was the re
joinder; The drives very well. and he
