When there is rain in our lives we call

And pray for grace to stand UP under

When none on our corn we pray twill

And bring to our dusty streets and
thirsty land relief.
When we're going to a picnic we
watch every cloud,
And pray for sunshine till we can go
and get back;
But if Mrs. Jones is coming with all
Of her crowd
We watch every cloudlet and hope the
sky will turn black.
When a pretty little maiden is going
to we'd
And it rains on her wedding day
everyone will say
She'll be a bad house keeper-he were
better dead"
And for the fate Of the groom they all
mourn and pray.
When there's been rain every dav for
week or more
"Oh, what horrid weather we're hav-
ing these days.
The like I've never seen in all my life

And then how we pray that it will not

CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTHDAY OF
THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERACY

Tie Bivouac was adorned with the
bunting and colors Of the Confederacy
last evening, when the Pensacola
chapter United Daughters Of the Con-
fedeIacy. entertained with q reception
for the members of. Ward Camp. No.
20 in honor OF the birthday anniver-
ssry of jefferson Davis, president of
The Confederacy.
The ranks of the old soldiers are fast
thinning, and there Is nothing that so
delights the Daughters of the Confei-
e:lcy as to meet and nj ~ = with this
remnant OF the lost cause, and to do
them reverence.
AS the weather was so warm, it was
decided by the Daughters to have no
set program, but to extend their cour-
tesy in an informal way, which might
prove more pleasing to the guests.
There was music by the Victrola and
several selections, among these being
q very clever recitation by Miss
Gladys Smith.
Mr. Joseph zung. the winner of the
L. y. c. medal, which was p1 esented
a the common cement exercises of the
pubic schools, also read his splendid
essay on Stonewall jackson. There
were several short talks or the vet
Grams and refreshments " ire served
during tht evening.
In paying honor to the Chieftan of
the Confederacy, one is apt to lose
sight of the splendid record made by
President Davis, who stands out in
history as one OF the saddeSt as we'll
as one of the most misunderstood of
men. In a large way, the south re-
veres the memory of jefferson Davis,
but hardly realizes the debt owed to
him for loyalty nd devotion to the
Cause of the Confederacy.
jefferson Davis was born June 8,
1893 in Todd county, Ky. He gradu
atcd from West Point. was assigned to
the first infntry, and was in the Black
I'awk war of 1912, and was pro-
r1oted to the first lieutenancy of dra-
EOons in 1893. He resigned in 1885 in
order to marry the daughter of Col.
Zachary Taylor, afterward president.
N|ter few years spent quietly as
cotton planter. he became engaged in
politics in 1s43 and was a Polk and
Dallas presidential eIector in 1914, and
was elected t. congress in 1S45.
He was active in the legislation
preparatory to the war with Mexico. In
1915 he resigned from congress to en-
ter the war, having been unanimously
chosen colonel of the First Mississippi
Volunteers. At Monterey he showed
great gallantry. At Buena Vista his
cool and sllillfuI management at a
critical point foiled the enemy's final
attempt to break the American line.
Though severely wounded. he kept in
the saddle till the fight was won.
He entered the United States SEN
ate on appointment by the governor of
Mississippi, and was afterward unani-
mousIy elected to The legislature. In
the senate he vigorously urged state
rights, and upheld the fugitive slave
law. He resigned his seat in 1851 to
enter the canvass for governor of Mis-
sissippi as candidate for the state
rights party. He was defeated but his
popularity reduced the adverse major
ity from more than 1000 to about l.
900. In the presidential contest 1882
