COL. Cooper NEVER
sent FAMOUS LETTER
Witness is Still On the Stand and
Will Be Cross Examined BY the
State Late This Afternoon.-court
Room is Crowded.
Associated Press.

Nashville, Tenn, February 20.-The
adjournment of day only seemed to
whet the appetite of the curious pub
lie interest in the trial of Colonel
Duncan B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and
John Sharp charged with the murder
of former Senator Carmack.
When court opened this morning
one of the largest crowds ever seen
around the Nashville court house
awaited the arrival of the defense.
One reason for the large crowd was
the persistent rumor that Colonel Dun
can B. Cooper would be the first wit
ness for the defense.
Another story had it that myster-
ious witness from Missouri, who saw
the shooting and who had been threat
ened with death if he testified. would
appear for the. States9szaN ! 4

cf9Vds. bot finally cleared the aisles
AM stsfrways Of the court room after
the seats had been filed.
Some delay was occasioned when it
was discovered that the States miss
ing witnesses had not arrived, but the
usual preliminaries soon followed and
then came the announcement which
had probably been planned from the
first, and which perhaps gave rise to
the rumor that Colonel Cooper would
take the stand. 1t was not Colonel
Cooper who was called, but his son,
ROBIN COOPER,
the man charged with being the actual
slayer of Senator Carmack.
When Robin Cooper took the stand
there were many explanations and the
court had to rap for order several
times.
Young Cooper launched right into
his testimony.
He said that he came to town the
morning before Carmack was shot and
that his father came to his office soon
afterward.
Papa told me that he was afraid
that he was going to have some trouble
with Carmack," the young man said.
1t soon became apparent from the
lines of questions asked by counsel
Tor the defense that their object in put
ting Robin on the stand was to show
that Colonel Cooper and his son were
on their way to see Governor Patter-
son; that they hoped to patch things
up with Carmack, but that they feared
that Carmack would do them bodily
harm-certainly to Colonel Cooper
and that this was why they went arm
ed.
Young Cooper said that he felt it
his duty to accompany his father al,
though his father did not want him to
do so.

Noble
Career, E. |
Servant Makes
Drudgery
Divine
By CLARA BANCROFT BEATLEY

...1 F YOUNG women. have the good sense to discriminate between
the superficial and" the real, homework opens to them a noble
career. Under favorable conditions the position Of a domestic
lNS~ servant is most desirable.
&}R 4 Z All depends upon the intelligence of the mistress in house
II v&SI hold affairs and upon the attitude of mind Of the young w-
H$ man who serves. In what spim does she approach her task?
t/ Is she seeking simply a means of livelihood? In that case she
mas chosen a difficult way. If added to her desire to ear her
living is the aspiration to have her life tell to advantage in
q work OF the world, she has chosen a task which is only comparable
with that of a teacher in its opportunities for usefulness. Homework
s drudgery If entered upon with no vision Of its significance.
The name servant is being lifted from the dust and is becoming a
badge OF honor: To be- perfect servant is to achieve distinction. Is it
mot a mistake to speak Of servants as "gns" and "maids," whatever their
age and condition? Such appelahons, unless really expressing the posi-
ton OF the servant in special offices, cheaper the position. The familiar
addressing of the servant by the first name is also Objectionable and
Will slowly give way to the Use Of the title. This mode of address may be
preferred by the one who serves, but it should not be the only form in
use. A servant in the home, when properly trained, will bring a dignity
TO the position which will command the respect paid to clerks, sahswomen
and teachers. The family will gain in sefrespect as well as the servant
through this new dignity, the familiar form being none the less friendly
because care is taken not to let it be the only mode of introduction or
address. A&4& = .@ <@4 #r S
You visit the home of your friend; you know the seamstress as Mrs..
L, the nurse who attends an invalid mother as Mrs. c.; even the
washwoman may be Mrs. s.; but you never know the family name of
the attractive young woman who meets you at the door, who serves you at
table and who otherwise attends to your comforts. The hostess speaks of
her S "Rosa," and you soon fall into line. She may bear the honorable
name OF Arnold or OF Winchester, but you never know, and she really
does not care much, so used is she to- being simply "Rosa" to all who come
and to all who go.
Why should household service be considered mental when the mother
IS the chief of servants? From the earliest infancy of her child she serves
at every turn and rejoices in the service, not bond but free. Such service
is a kind Of ministry. The young woman who enters a home and shares
this service is extending the office of the wife and mother. She is sending
out lines of influence into a great and busy world. Best of all, she is
fitting herself to preside over a home ~ .t
of her own when that opportunity AG~4Z~-1z&Mz~

to suspend publication because, it is
said, it incurred the %displeasure of the
censor by attempting to print matters
prejudicial to the navy's discipline,
and there are other instances in which
the deep sea editors. got into hat water
by allowing their publications to be-
come a vehicle for growls.
The Budget, which had set tha pace
for the rest of the journals, suspended
publication when Printer Kline's term
of enlistment expired, but not because
of the censor It's publisher decided
to knock all records sky high in that
final number.
It had 40 pages and was filled with
pictures of the cruise, taken in the
various places touched at along the
coast of South America. 1t made such
a hit that Publisher Kline had to turn
out 900 copies, and many a Jack Tar
in the fleet sent along a copy to his
friends at home: In fact, its circula-
ton extended far beyond the ship on
which it was published, and it lad
become an advertising medium as
we'll; but it's publisher had decided
that he had had enough of the navy,
and so he babe farewell to his sub.
| scribers.
The only attempt at criticism ap.
peared in this last number Of the Bud
get, and the censor, probably in view
of the fact that 1t was the last issue
of such a noteworthy publication, ap-
parently let it pass. It was entitled
can Enlisted Mans Views and was
inspired by the statement of the presi-
dent that no effort should be spared
to make the service attractive to the
| enlisted man. Some of the views pre-.
scented by the contributor are interest
ing.
when a prospective candidate for
enlistment presents himself at a re.
cruiting Office" says this article, che
is told all about the bright side of
navalIife. He should also be informed
of the conditions on board ships.
"He should be informed of what Is
expected of him; that he will have to
scrub his own clothes and will have to
perform manual labor. Recruiting
parties should bear in mind that the
daily routine on board ships, which is
a matter of common knowledge to
them, is all unknown to the recruit.
1T makes a very u~nfavorable i'm.
preston on a mar joining a ship to be
confronted with conditions which he
did not expect to find, conditions
which should have been explained tc
him before being sworn in. The navy
is no place for a laggard, but a man
should not be allowed to come into the
service with his mind made up for a
four years continuous picnic"
Another complaint mentioned is that
not enough attention is paid to the
preparation and serving of Jacks
meals, and hat often he gets them
cold. Says the Budgets contributor:
Zone thing in this connection ough,
to be reversed-the inspection of s
mel. AS it is at present the cook or
watch picks out the best Of everything
and carries it out to the officer of the
deck for inspection, and of course this
proves satisfactory"
1t is necessary to get the permission
of the commanding officer before yol
can publish a paper aboard one O.
Uncle Sans ships, but there ISM
much difficulty in getting his consent
and these little papers circulate a,
freely on the quarterback as. in tn,

DEEP.sEATED COUGH
CURED IN FIVE HOURS.
New Homemade Syrup.

From Boston Post.

I $3.50 -HL.
Progress in medical compounds
never ceases, and now it is stated by
q prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured in five
hours by the clock. Opium or NOR
phine have been resorted to in the
past, as relief measures. But now it
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid it of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrurp does the work SO quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished in hours.
Get this formula filled or mix it at
home and always keep it on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three unces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one %teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
toned up. Give children less according
to age. One filling will usually cure
a whole family. as the dose is small.
