Justice to Mr.. Cooper

In Justice TO Hon. F. M. Cooper
who was charged by Arcadia'f
populistic newspaper with having
limited his road work, while a
member of the board of county
commissioners of DeSoto county,
to the construction of only one
road and that from this city to his
own property east of town, we
publish the following extract from
a letter written by Hon. r. A.
Hendry of LaBelle, to Mr.. Coop
err:
"The article in the Enterprise
relative to your expending road
fund as county commissioner in
district No. 3, DeSoto county, did
you a great injustice; and l am
pleased to state that you spent
quite a sum of money on the coun-
ty road leading from LaBelle to
North LaBelle, certainly over one
thousand dollars, besides under
my supervision on its comfy line
road and bridges, near two hum
dred dollars. We all appreciate
what you did for us. You did it
cheerfully, in fact you did all that
you were asked to do like a true
and faithful servant of the pub
ic."

atively. At the same time Mr..

We see no reason for further
argument with the ''supreme
court" of Arcadia, on any of the
contentious advanced by the pop
ulistic paper edited by the said
court, which by-the-way Is the
"people of DeSoto county" and
the constitution of Florida"
Since the lawyer-editor, whom it
is easy to see by his writings has
a self-consciousness of being the
"whole cheese" when it comes to
legal matters and is thus entitled
to all the appellations made use of
above, now sees the absurdity of
his contentious and misrepresenta-
tons and charges the division adj
vocates with adopting tactics such
as he uses, his case is getting weak
and we will present no further ar
gument in the matter for the time
being. But If the court" will
not consider us in contempt, we'll
just suggest that as 'sgrand fin
ale," that his guns be turned to-
ward Tallahassee for awhile.

No greater punishment than emu

NO greater punishment than ennulI
That Is what Ruth Helen Davis,
translator OF "The Daughter of Heav-
en-" says. She has done some very
clever work in French translation and
has enjoyed every minute Of it. Her
theory is as follows:
"Dullness is the burden of the rich.
Lack of contrast Is their stumbling
block to enjoyment. / know no great
er punishment that ennui.
"Restlessness and the constant search
for novelty is a cruel master. There is
nothing enviable in this world but
self development, self knowledge. It's
beginning and ending is concentration.
mo one ever need be dull in this
world. No one need to be lastingly
downcast Just think Of all the things
in the world that are to be done and
the different ways there are to do
them.
"The simplest task can be made the
beginning of study. The most ordi-
nary talent, If focused and concen-
trated, can be made n means to real
achievement. which is only another
name for Joy and contentment
at is odd how blind many wealthy
persons are to the fact that work is
the greatest satisfier in the world.
Happiness is cheap. Any one can
have II who will concentrate. Self
development, built on concentration, is
the very finest game on earth
IF those who are on the verge of
something desperate would only step
on a railroad train, for instance, and
go to some strange place, no matter
where, and follow up some work suit
ed TO their ability, however humble.
there would be fewer suicides"

Tho Ton Hat,

Although the beginning of the "cylln-
Der of civilization" as II has been
called, can be traced back to the Eliza
bsthan era, 1t is only about seventy
or eighty years ago that the top hat
Of the present day reached its final
shape. Since then 1t has altered slight
ly In the dimensions Of the crown and
the curl Of the brim. but the hat itself
has remained essentially unchanged.
The top hat seems to have had Its be-
ginning in the habit Of gallants In the
Mizabethan period of cooking up one
side of their broad brimmed. high
crowned felt or beaver hats and secur
ing them with jewel, The French
court later developed this into cooking
up three sides Of the hat and fastening
one with loop OF ribbon. From this
fashion came the cockade. now used
only by grooms and footmen. The silk
hat of today was born In France and
Bupplnnted the now nearly extinct
beaver hat OF practically the same
