In preparing a new setting for the African
buffalo group, built in the National Museum
about year ago, the three animals are to be
left in their original positions, which indicate
alarm, just as they were first discovered by the
hunters. In addition they are to be represented
as standing on the edge of an African papyrus

painted to represent their colors in life, and
grouped with other grasses to form setting for

When the African buffalo group was first as

it was decided to use temporarily foliage which

life and put into book?
Such has been the cruer burden
borne by Vivian Burnett for at least
a quarter of century, in fact ever
since the book about him, namely,
Little Lord Fauntleroy," became
the rage of this country and choice
sections Of the British Isles.
VIVIAN" too! But in Justice to
Frances Hodgson Burnett, one should
not forget that her only son was
ohristened some years before his love
locks and velvet and lace projections
were merged into Little Lord
Fauntleroy" And it seems that
nobody ever thought to take off part
of the curse by having the innocent
victim rechristened Sam, or Pete, or
even Jock-at least something with
enough punch in it to gain the re-
spect of fellow school boys or col
lege mates.
How could any one named Vivian"
and invariably addressed as Little
Lord Fauntleroy," summon up suffi-
cient courage to tell his tormentors:
ooh, go jump off the dock!" or some
rude retort like that?
What other boy would have had
the courage to grin and bear it--as
Vivian Burnett did?
And now comes his reward-a
romance Of his own, love and mar
riage; he's grown up; he's turned the
tables on his tormentors at last. For
as everybody knows, it's grown

brave-woman who has taken the

result would have made Elsie Leslie

the fun began. A college poet ex-

In immaculate misery he went
about his student affairs, and when

Not in all the history of literature
is there such horrible example OF
living man or woman cursed by the
fact of being the real-life prototype
of a fiction Characterization. But it
is all over now--and Vivian Burnett,
with love and marriage for compen-
sation, has squared his score with

Burnett-though this does not mean
that the Burnetts ever lacked social
recognition, for they never did.
Frances Hodgson's fascinating liter
airy gifts and performances made her
a social favorite even before she
married the socially popular DR.. Bur-
nett, back in 1876, and the book and
play of Little Lord Fauntleroy'
made of her a social, as we'll as a
literary lioness on both sides of the
Atlantic.
OF course, being his mothers only
son, and the model for Little Lord
Fauntleroy," Vivian Burnett inherited
his mothers literary and artistic
tendencies. 1t was in such circles
that he was safe from the tormentors
who pursued him in the rude world
of school and college. There were
thus two reasons why, when school
days and college days were over, he
should apply himself more and more
to the arts and accomplishments of
the social cult, which inclines toward
the more refined ideals of life.
While in Harvard Vivian Burnett
wrote the libretto of a light opera
called, Fools Gold" which was pro-
duced by the students with great sue
cess. It was of higher degree of
literary merit than is usually pro-
vided for college dramatics. 1t
caused the students to apply the soft
pedal Just little bit from that time
on when they rubbed in Dear Ced-
ric," or, Vivian, love-" or, Little
Lord Fauntleroy."
Better than that, when young Bur-
nett had graduated with honors, he
found himself pleasantly received in
New York literary society. AS 1t
was not necessary for him to grub
along at money-making, he devoted
himself more and more to art and
letters He studied drawing, paint.
ing and architecture. While he did
not produce very much, he became a
capable connoisseur, whose opinions
we're received with respect.
One fine architectural work he did
produce, however-the big Italian
villa at Plandome, Long Island. The
shining lights of American art and
letters know that villa very well.
It Is not on the public records
where, or in what circumstances
Vivian Burnett first met Miss Con
stance Buel. The undertaking coult
not have been difficult, for she wal

tic and literary tastes, and hel

the choicest goal of poets and dab
blers in bellies lcttres.
Until Vivian Burnett had passed
through college he still possessed the
fine head of hair-though without
the love locks-which distinguished
Little Lord Fauntleroy." Also, like
Cedric Errol," who first won the
stern old English Earls heart by
showing no fear of the great mastiff
of "Dorincourt' named "Dougal," he
liked dogs and dogs liked him.
Alas! those thick brown ringlets
have disappeared long since. On the
date of his marriage two weeks ago,
Vivian Burnett owned dome as pol
ished as the best of them. Was 1t
his hidden grief over that terrible
Little Lord" handicap?
Undoubtedly the years which
Vivian Burnett found it hardest to
live through were the years at col
lege. He was most numerically
"hazed." That cute velvet suit with
turned up cuffs and turned down lace
collar was always, lin readiness, and
Little Lord Fauntleroy" had always
20 be ready to do his Cedric, love"
stunt.
Once when his mother went to
Harvard to visit him and celebrate
his twenty-frst birthday, he had a
heart-to-heart talk with her about
it. He said:
"The fellows are always asking me
If l was the original of Little Lord
Fauntleroy.' They rub it in anyway.
and, believe me, it's no joke"
AS he concealed from his mother
the real depth OF his misery on that
account, and as she had no grievance
against the critics or the public cn
account of their reception of her
masterpiece, she answered:
Just tell them that 1t is true
that had you in mind always when
! wrote it."
After that Vivian Burnett was
always loyal He never denied it
and "the fellows" were keener than
ever to make "the punishment fit the
crime"
sired to be elected a member of the
aristocratic Harvard Pi Eta Society
He knew what the penalty would be
but that never daunted him. He was
ordered to go forth and secure
"Fauntleroy" clothes to fit his now
we'll developed figure. and to veal
them until further notice-and to b.
exceedingly careful to omit no de
tail.

A Matter of Cost

According to Sheriff Wheeler the new cells which are now in course or erection in the county jail at Tomb stone will not be compelled in some weeks and inasmuch as it is no more costly to remove prisoners to Tucson, in Pima county than to Douglas. the more serious offenders will be taken to the former place. The cost, accord ing to the Sheriff is about the same and with the poor condition of the branch county jails it is deemed more expedient by the officer to have the men removed to Tucson.
