RECALLS ROMANCE OF FORT
 GIBSON.

In eight of the southern states of the Union the birthday of Jefferson Davis will be celebrated today as a legal holiday, marking the 10th an niversary of the statesman who be- came President of the confederacy. Special observances will mark the day in all cities having branches of the United Confederate Veterans or the Sons or Daughters of the Con federacy.
 Special interest attaches to the ob- servance of the day at Muslcogee Okla, for 1t was at old Fort Bibson, near that bustling city, that Jeffer- son Davis wooed and won his bride, the lovely Betty Taylor. daughter of Zachary Taylor. Muskogee, now the second city in size in Oklahoma, was then non-existant. and Fort Gibson was a frontier post. in the wide stretch of wilderness that was just being formed into Indian Territory.
 Young Davis graduated from West Point, in 1928, and soon afterwards saw active service in the Black Hawk Indian War in Wisconsin. He was ern- ployed later in various expeditions against the Pawnees, Comanchees. and other "hostiles," and was pro- noted for gallantry to the rank of first lieutenant of dragons.
  ed at Fort Gibson he lived with his family in a house built of logs sur rounded by giant trees. The house and the trees are still standing. Near the house is a well, with framework of ancient design and a "moss-covered bucket" and the youthful lieutenant, . Jefferson Davis, had not long been at Fort Gibson when he developed a terrible thirst. "A Kentuckian by birth, he could hardly have been supected of fondness for water as a beverage, and yet such was the case. Whenever in leisure moment Lieutenant Davis remembered his thirst he immedi- ately repaired to. the. well to. quench it. Probably it was onlysa coincidence that pretty Betty Taylor, daughter of the stern Zachary. also had a fond ness for water, fresh from the we'll. So 1t happened that tthe young couple met quite frequently at the well, and young Jeff held tho bucket while

 In addition to these bonds there will be issued under the auth orization of the General Assembly of 1917, tho following: For street paving, S100, 900; for the purchase of Steeplechase Island and appurtenances, S320,000, which also includes the development of Beechwood, Seaside and Beardsley parks. and the construction of barns. sidewalks, dressing rooms with
 And for an addition to the Mo Kinley school in the East End, $155,- 900. When all the bonds as above enumerated have been issued there will be added to our net debt S1,7OO,- 900, which is still within the five per centum limit we have always ob- served.
 The collection of garbage under the direction of the Board of Health is conducted better than ever before. This work should properly be under this board and when the collection of rubbish and ashes is undertaken, which will be as soon as proper equip ment can be obtained, the sanitary conditions of our city in general will be greatly improved. The collection of rubbish and ashes will also save mucn money for both landlord and tenant.
 The intelligent and effective hand ling of the recent epidemic of influ- enza reflects great credit upon the Board of Health and the Health Off, cer pr. Walter H. Brown.
 NLAYOR-Take Nine
 The Municipal Garage, when con- structed, will save a great deal of money. The amount now paid to garages for rentals is approximately $s, 900 per year, which will more than pay the interest on the total cost of such a building at the present time,
 Owing to the fact that our charter makes 1t necessary to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder, the Grand street bridge commission was forced to award it's contract to Ed ward Devoe Tompkins, Inc. He was responsible but a very incapable con- tractor. The work on the bridge was not being carried on in accordance with the contract and specifications.
 In the great world war, no science has received a greater impetus than surgery. All nations bent every en- ergy to overcome and correct the in juries sustained by the man in the service, and to enable the war crfp- ples to again follow profitable voca- tions. Great advancement in this work has been accomplished and op- erations have been successfully per formed which have astounded the world.
 In such activity the city should be the moving spirit

Hal Chase and Ray Fisher, former Yankees, met in a ball game the other day for the first time since 1913. It will be remembered that these play ere were with the New York Ameri- can League club of 1910 which, start ing the season under the management of George Stallings and finishing it under Chase's direction, was the run ner up for the championship, which was captured by the Athletics. They were both with the Yankees when Frank Chance assumed the manage ment in 1913, but Chase was ira led to the White Sox. Since they have gone their separate ways, but Chase evidently did not forget anything about the manner in which Fisher hurls, for in the particular game in which they met for the first time in so many years he reached his old team mate for two hits.

Betty drank It was not long before Lieut. Davis was a constant caller at the Taylor home.
 Fort Gibson, the home of Zachary Taylor, future president of the Unit ed States, and of Jefferson Davis future president of the Confederacy. also attracted many other famous men by its wild and picturesque surround fngs- Washington Irving dwelt there for some time, and Henry NJ Stanley in his youth, taught school there. At Fort Gibson lie buried the remains of Talhira, the Cherokee maiden who was the wife of Gen. Sam. Houston.
 After the marriage of Jefferson Davis and Betty Taylor the former left the army and bought a. cotton plan tation in Mississippi. From that state he went to Congress. When the Mex ican war broke out he joined the army of his father-in-law, "Old Rough and Ready" After that conflict he returned to the political arena, and as a United States Senator. was an ardent champion of State rights. Later, as Secretary of War in the cabinet of President Pierce, he inaugurated the system of explorations of the West, both for geographical pur- pIses and for the determination of the best route for a railroad to the Pacific Coast He was one of the first to advocate such a transcontinental route and he may well be called the father of all the great highways of steel that now stretch across North America in the United States and Canada

 LONDON-A soft blue white dia- mond, weighing three hundred and eighty-eight and one-fourth carats, has been found in the Jagersfontein mine, in the Orange Free State, Union of South Africa.
 The Jagersfontein mine is owned and operated by the De Beers in- terests, who control the entire dia- mond output of South Africa.
 The Jagersfontein mine has pro- duced the largest diamonds in the world. The following being among the stones found:
 Jubilee diamond, shown in Paris in 1900, weighed 239 carats. A dia- mond which weighed 971 carats, or nearly half pound, was sent to England in 1893; and another weighing $40 carats was sent there later Among the other large dia- monds is the "Koh-i-noor" (moun- tain of Lght) which came from the Golconda mine in India and weighs now 106 and one-sixth carats. It is one of the English crown jewels.
 The Oorloff diamond, which is in the Russian scepter, is also said to have been found in India. It weighs 194A carat.
 The largest diamond found in America was found by negress in the river Bogageno, Brazil, in 1853. It weighed 2541a carats and was known as the Star of the South. It was later sold to the Gaekwar of Baroda for $45O,OOO.
 There are several other large diamonds in existence.
