has Que of the NEST powerful person
alitics Of the middle South lie was
4 great figure during the Civil War, Il
fine speaker after the war, and has
been notable judge during the later
years Of his life. TO know Judge
Cooper Of Tennessee is at once to
know all that is best aud most inter
csting Of the life Of the great frontier
State. His fund Of anccdotc is with
out limit; his hospitality for half "a
century has been unboundca. lie
has often been urged 10 write book
.!ia: should Jca! with the rcnnis-
ccnscs OF the Southern judge, and
give to the world brilliant histori-
cal picture of the intensely interest
ing legal and political life Of that
South which he has known in SO many
phases.
Judge Cooper has a powerful figure
as we'll as mentality. His head is
Of dimensions rare among men. 1t
has the breadth and length that folks
want in their great men. He is proud
Of his head, and it was we'll known
throughout Tennessee that Judge
Cooper required similar head on the
man who should win his daughters
hand
Miss Cooper was belle and many
men paid court to her at the finc old
home in Shclbyvillc. Whenever a
young calavicr became frequent in his
attentions the Judge would mark that
young man when he came in, then
slip out into the hall, take the man $
hat from the rack and try it on his
head. The next morning he would
say to his daughter:
"You nccdn be falling in love with
that young man, because his hat
doesn't cit my head, and you can t
have him. lie vas fully determined
that no smallhcadcd man should win
his daughter, for he didn't believe
any good could come out Of IA small
head
a few years passed and none Of the
hats that hung so frequently in the
Cooper hall would go on the head Of
the hospital host. The joke on these
young men quickly spread over Ten
ncsscc. 1t was openly said that no
man with small head need present
himself rs suitor for Miss Coopcr's
hand.
At last Shelbyville know that one
man was getting all Miss Coopcr's
smiles. He was South Carolinian of
gigantic proportions.
He called one night and the Judge
found them sitting on moonlit pi-
azza. He went straight to the hall
rack and tried on the mans hat. It
fitted.
He told the fact to his daughter
tho next morning. II am already
engaged to him." she answered with
the independence Of the Southern
girl.
The man in the case was Dr.. Thomas
A. Hoyt, pastor of the Chambers
Wylio Memorial church, of Eailadel-
phia, and one Of the powerful per
sonalitics in the Presbyterian church.
