where G.. l.. Craik proposed "The La

lcal advice given by a brother Scot to
his children: TAX my advice and dlnna

err" Some time later Tennyson at his
own table repeated Mr., Craik's story,
but expressed the idea without at.
tempting dialect His son Hallam re-
marked. Surely, father, Cralk did not
use those words" mo, he did not. But,
then, Craik Is a Scotchman, and l am
afraid TO venture on repeating him ex-
actly. However it's almost as good In
English as in Scotch, and it's tremen-
dously true In both"

THE WEST COAST.
Henry Wafferson Prophesies Bril-

What Flagler, his millions and
his genius, have done for the east
coast Of Florida, nature, destiny
and the Panama canal hold in
reserve for the west coast.
As certain as the sun shines the
Lake Okeechobee secion will one
day blossom like the rose. As sure
as the Isthmian waterway is com
pleted will there be a waterway
across the Caloosahatchee and
Kissimmee country from the At
lantic to the Gulf of Mexico, short
ening the distance between the
gulf ports and the ports Of the east
Atlantic many hundreds of miles,
Barring the Flagler improve
ments, think the west coast more
attractive than the east coast.
But, whether it is, or not, it can
not be held back when the golden
tide sets in and begins to flow, and
the heaven of the west coast is the
region Immediately about Fort
Myers and Sanibel Island, Tampa
is good, but Punta Gorda is better
being more at sea-which is
only to say that, Charlotte Harbor
is finer body of water than the
bay at Tampa. What is wanted
down here just now is votes, You
Just wait" observed a native to
me the other day with sententious
wisdom, "till Lee county gets more
population and see if we don't sock
it to old Steve Sparkman an make
him Jump" He meant that the
representative from the congress
sional district, Mr.. Steve Spark
man, of Tampa, devotes himself
mainly to those counties that
Count" in the elections, and I
suppose he is right. In the end,
however, as Schley said about
glory at Santiago, where there will
be money for Florida both in the
rivers and harbors bills, and in
other sources of development,
"enough for all. "

THE JURY'S WORK.

From the presentment of the grand
jury, published last week, it will be
seen that the violation OF the loo al
option law in this county is decreas-
ing. This is very gratifying and Is
due to the vigilance OF our efficient
sheriff, who spares no effort or ex
pense to catch those who deal in the
damnable stuff that "biteth like a
serpent and stingeth like an adder. !"
We also notice with pleasure their
commendation of the condition OF the
Jail. We have noticed from time to
time that the Jail was kept in neat,
clean, sanitary condition, and to this
is no doubt attributable the fact that
there is rarely ever a case OF sickness
among the prisoners.
The grand jury has again gone
over the evidence in the Cooper case
and examined new witnesses. They
have also examined all the affidavits.
letters, report of detective, etc., fur
nished by Gov. Broward, all of which
goes to confirm Cooper's guilt. A
representative of the NEWS examined
all of these documents and failed to
fiud any evidence favorable toCooper.
1t is said that Governor Broward
granted reprieve that this grand
jury might again investigate the
matter and if nothing new was
brought to light, that another death
warrant would be issued.

harmonious and has not been for
some time past.
The old troubles have been elimina
ted. Mr. Stetson was reelected
president of the board of trustees and
had shown his interest and faith IN
the institution by contributing about
S25, 900 more to meet the expenses Of
the University.
As further evidence of his gener-
osity and interest in the University
he proposed to the board of trustees
that if the entire board would tender
their resignation, including himself,
he would give the University 800,
OOO This would give an opportunity
for the election of board that were
congenial and in full sympathy and
harmony with the work of the Uni
versity.
We venture the assertion that not
one of the six who voted against
rendering their designations, would
put this or any other amount OF
money into this, or any other insti~
tuition unconditional, to be controlled
by board that were not working in
harmony; 1t is unnatural, and un~
reasonable to expect 1t. Mr., Stet
sons requirement with the gift,
shows his interest in the institutions
shows that he was willing to sac
rlfce personal interest and prefer
ences that the efficiency of the school
should not be crippled.
To our way of thinking, the trustee
that withholds his resignation, there
by depriving the school of this money
it 80 mnch needs, has not the inter-
ests of the University at heart.

MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN"

C.L. Wilson, editor OF the
Cherokee, Okla. Messenger, makes
the following comment which Is
replete with good sense:
"Th= average man comes very
near being an idiot in taking care
of himself. You have seen him
wearing a fur cap on his head,
while his shoes let il the snow and
water. He wears an overcoat on
his back and nothing but thin
shirt over his chest. He is might
ly scared about freezing his fingers
while his throat is exposed to biz
yards and he is often ailing or
thinks he is. It's herb tea, root
tonics, Peters pills pinetar cordials
or plasters and cures, until the
balance wheel in the machine. comes
10 stop. Nature wants to keep
going, but she can't He drinks
whiskey and that clogs the valves;
he drinks beer and that clogs the
wheels: he pours dowu lemonade,
gingerale, buttermilk, ice water, tea,
coffee, and what not, and then
wonders why the fires under the
boiler do not burn. If you should
take an OK and put him through a
like performance he'd be dead in
year. The simplest and plainest
laws Of health are outraged every
hour of the day by the average
man. Did Adam smoke! Did Eve
wear corsetsl Did Solomon chew
tobacco9 Did Ruthchew gum' Did
the children of Israel make for a
beer garden after crossing the Red
scar Did Rebecca eat gum drops |
and ice cream and call for soda
wsterl Adam was first and was
made perfect from head to heel.
How long would he remain so after
eating a mince pie before going to
bed? Suppose he had slept in bed
room SKI with the windows down,
the doors shut and two dogs under
the bedlSuppose Eve had laced her
self up in a corset, put on tight
shoes, sat up all hours of the night
eating her 6lI of trash and sizzled
her hair. When you come to look
at the way man misbehaves him
self you can only wonder he ever
lived to get there"
