While Playwright Gross, of Chicago.
fails to obtain in this country serious
consideration for his claim that the
ideals and much of the language both
in "Cyrano de 7Bergerac'' and in Chan

PHILOSOPHY AND LIFE.


To what extent the leaders of thought
in the world contribute to the happi-
ness of mankind has long been a moot
ed question. There are many who doubt
that with the great advances in science.
invention and logic happiness has in
creased proportionately. The greatest
epoch-rnaking books, such as those of
Darwin and Spencer. were not very gen.
orally read In their day, and the per-
centage of men and women who have
read those books today is not so large
as is universally believed
Nevertheless, philosophy has spread
over the world with remarkable strides.
In any walk Of life it is hard to find
a man or woman without some sort
of philosophy, which acts as a guide to
happiness and tides over the times of
classes, as a rule. this philosophy is
especially to be noticed. Moreover, it
has, as its foundation. principles that
are safe and sound.
The reason for the spread of philos-
ophy among the poorer classes is not to
be found in a growing tendency to read
the heavier" books. 1t is due to the
aptitude for epigrams. or epitomiZed
truths, that is inherent in all men.
What man or woman does not prefer a
thought trenchantly expressed? A
lost of telling phrases, enbodying some
of the greatest truths ever expressed,
has become the philosophy of the av-
erage home.-Washingto Post.

COTTON MAKES BEST CLOTHING.


In really impressive and most
forcefu speech on this head in con-
gress, Congressman j. Thomas Heflin
of Alabama said dressmakers and tail
ors have at last learned how to make
I'D cotton goods in the most fascinat-
ing and attractive way.
"The cotton suit wore here last
summer. and those worn by other mem
bers of congress, looked better than
the flannel suits worn by other gen
tlemenN here, and they did not cost
one-third as much.
"They were cooler and more COM
Portable every way have advocated
il. and | believe the day will come
when the Southern people will wear
cotton almost exclusively from April
to September. BY this means the
South will consume nearly 100000
bales more than is now consumed.
For spring and summer cotton is
the coolest and cheapest wearing APP
parel in the world, and our people are
at least beginning to realize the value
of patronizing home industry"
MIR. Heflin is right. Heretofore
Americans have not realized, generally
speaking, the real worth of cotton for
warm weather wear and for cold
weather Undertaking, either, when 1t
is manufactured in proper shape. We
here in the North wear too much wool
in summer for good health.
We have been shown sample boots
and shoes made entirely of cotton,
which almost startled us with the vast
market possibilities which could be
created in their sale.
They were better than leather, FAR
handsomer and wore well, and those
shoes cost less than half, yes. good
deal less than half the cost of fair
grade leather shoe.
They felt better on the feet, tended
to heat the feet less feverishly, so we
were prone to exclaim that hides for
shoes have seen their day.
AS Mr.. Heflin says. civilized men
the world over are coming to know that
cotton is the healthiest and most COM
Portable fabric that can be worn next
the skin.
The man who suffers from colds anN
grip in the winter by reason of wear
ing woolens next the skin "can obtain
health and happiness by putting on the
South's sensible garment made of cot

DISTRICT COURT.
Gloss Case Dismissed On Motion OF
District Attorney Lane.

The case of J. T. Gloss of Edge,
charged with manslaughter, was set
for trial In district court yesterday
and as a result the town was full OF
people, principally from the north end
of the county. Many of them came as
witness and others came through in
terest in the case.
When Court convened and the case
was called, sudden halt was made in
the proceedings by the filing of a
lengthy motion to dismiss the case by
District Attorney Lane. The motion
set out the fact that the indictment
charged the defendant with manslaugh-
ter and that the state had no
testimony TO prove manslaughter; or
in other words, that would reduce the
crime to manslaughter. hence the state
by It's attorney asked that the case
be stricken from the docket. The mo-
ton was granted by Judge Scott and
the defendant was disch, rged.
The case grew out Of the killing oil
young Marvin Holland by Mr.. Gloss
near Edge, about a year ago The
killing was said to have been over
family troubles and was a most de-
plorable affair.
