The most tart fruits will make the frmest
Jelly, although fruits of all kinds can be
used. But in the case of peaches, ounces,
apples and crab apples, a little water must
be added to them for the first cooking. They
are not sufficiently juicy, and would burn
before any juice could be obtained. A more
laborious method, however, which will
avoid adding the water, is to improvise a
double boiler by setting the kettle of fruit
into large pan Of water, and cook the fruit
in this way. It will need stirring frequently
and to be cooked longer than by the first
method.
Ounces require a quarter of pound less
sugar to pint of juice than other fruits,
while green grapes, which make most de-
licious, spicy jelly to eat with poultry and
game, need one and one-half pounds of sugar
for the same quantity of juice. Barberries
require that their juice and the sugar be
boiled together ten minutes before pouring
into the glasses.
Bags to strain the juice through are often
made of flannel, and are good, but those OF
coarse vet firm crash are better. In either
case two loops Of tape should be sewed on
each side of the bag, so that apiece of broom,
or a mop handle, or the time honored family
ward stick, can be run through them and the
bag suspended
A porcelain or granite ware kettle,
wooden spoon, tumblers ready to roll in hot

JAMES KENMORE COOPER.
CENTs NNlAL OF THE BIRTH OF THE
GREAT AMERICAN NOVELIST.

His Works Were Full of Power and Have
Had Many Unworthy Imitators-His Lat
ter Days We're Not Altogether Pleasant
"Cooper's Indians" Are Provs.biaI.
One hundred years ago, on Sept. 10, 1880
and a few months after the Inauguration Of
the first president OF the United States, a
child came into the world whose work it was TO
be 10 perpetuate in fiction the characteristics
of those who then composed the new nation.
The Indian population at that time fur
nished field for stories of adventure, and by
the time the child came to middle life the
Revolutionary war had come TO be sufficient
" distant for the extraction Of its romance.
james Fenimore Cooper was destined 10 be
the historical novelist to picture this period
Perhaps more lately, while the broken ma
tional circle of states was reforming, after
the spring of 1865, a child was born to per-
petuate those troublous times in story. II so,
he is TO this period what Cooper WIGS to the
close of the last century. The two men would
be born and picture scenes century apart,
each constituting great epoch in the ma
tons history.
On his fathers side Coopers ancestors came
from the home of Shakespeare, Stratford-on-

Is In America. His first sea novel. "The
Plot" was suggested by SCOTS Pirate"
which appeared about that time. Cooper,
who had been a sailor, pronounced 1t lands
mans work and undertook TO produce a
novel that would bear evidence OF having been
written by seaman. He was successful in
THE Pilot" as well as in his other sea
stories
To the present generation the fact that
Cooper, from being among the most popular
of noveists became the most unpopular Of
men, is almost entirely unknown. There
seems to have been a want Of address, togeth.
er with great combativeness, in his make up,
which produced an unfortunate effect. He
was m many respects q democrat; in others
a pronounced aristocrat. He had grand
idea of the future of the young republic, and
became its champion abroad but by his out
spoken structures at home on the crudeness of
his countrymen he failed to gain credit for
his encomiums elsewhere. He was attacked
in the newspapers with such virulence that it
drove him TO Cooperstown, where he had not
lived for sixteen years There he intended to
seek quiescence. But in few years he was
thrown into wrangle with his fellow towns
men. A part of the Cooper estate had been
permitted to be used by the public for so
many years that those using it came to re.
gard it as open property. Cooper endeavored
to correct this impression. The result was a
mass meeting and inflammatory resolutions,
but the resolutions were not law, which was
on Cooper's side, and tho townspeople were
eventually obliged TO abandon the claim.
This affair made wide breach between
Cooper and those about him, and his old
enemies of the press redoubled their attacks.
Cooper wrote story called Home as
Found" founded on this experience with his
neighbors. 1t was not a success in literature
and was an unfortunate evidence to be left
behind him Of the authors state of mind,
though fortunately for his fame few now
ever read it. Two of its characters were
ascribed to Cooper himself, and when he
denied that they represented him he was not
believed. He was never forgiven by his con-
temporaries for writing the book and the
newspaper attacks were SO violent that the
pugnacious author began libel suits against
a number Of editors. Thurlow Weed, James
Watson Webb and Horace Greeley were
among the number. The editors laughed at
the suits, but Cooper won them, and the
damages soon became quite respectable
amount. One by one they gave in and ceased
these attacks. Thurlow Weed was the most
pertinacious, but after repeated verdicts and
costs even he weakened, and in 1s42 pub
lished a retraction Of all he had ever pub
lished derogatory to Cooper's character.
Cooper died in 1851, and Otsego Hall was
burned few years later. After that the
estate was broken up and passed out Of the
hands Of the family. The novelist was buried
in the Episcopal churchyard, near Otsego
hall, where he died There a monument has
been erected which is surmounted by
statue of old Misunderstanding" SO dear to
the imagination of the American youth. Six
months after Cooper's death meeting was
held in New York in honor of his memory.

,e 1.-THE lows and little cares,

The little joys and little cares,
They come upon us unawares--
And life is smiles, or frown IL wears.
The foes that tramp unheraldcd,
No banner carried at their head,
These leave the heart dried up and dead.
A hand clasp at the garden gate,
A whisper when the moon Is late
And strength is ours TO conquer fate.
q trifling acts for veal or woe
The pan would not harasS us so,
The gladness not as sudden go
IL we could draw freer breath,
If we could push aside dread death,
And hear untired the words God saith,
So much TO do ere hands are cold,
So far to fare ere limbs grow old;
SO much 10 say ere story's told
That we lose sight OF better things;
Forget, in all our wanderings,
TO use loves buoyant sweeping wings,
And !, yes ], sometimes forget
To lure away your care and fret,
And kiss the cheeks that tears have Wet.
Here let us pledge ourselves anew,
Each TO the other, open, true
Lest life lose all its morning dew.
Who knows what day We say gooi'by:
When one shall in the churchyard lie
Let us cling closer you and |.

puehanna river. On this tract, in 1888, he
laid out the site Of Cooperstown, on the shore
Of Otsego lake.
This spot, so beautiful today, must have
possessed singular fascination when the
surrounding hills and mountains looked not
even on village. In sunlight, in moonlight
and in storm they kept the same impassive
silence. Now the summer tourist may ram
BILE through the valleys or skim over the
lake unmindful of danger. Then at any mo-
ment the frontiersman might be startled by
painted savage face staring at him from
behind the bushes. But around him were
beautiful undulations, sloping gradually; blue
outlines Of mountains against the sky; the
bosom Of the lake; and all was wild and
silent and uncultivated.
In 1890 the family removed from New Jer-
sey to this wilderness, and for six years lived
in log house, but when Cooper was years
of age his father built manor house which
he called Otsego Hall, for many years the
most imposing in Central New York. Yet
when it was built it stood on the frontiers
Pioneers had only begun to push out through
the Mohawk valley, then the only available
route to the further west. In Cooper's boy
hood he was used to looking upon Indians
when they came in for barter. Their prox-
unity doubtless caused occasional anxiety,
and the chd's mind must have been excited
by stories of their depredatons, or warfare
among their different tribes, or even reports
of intended hostilities against the white set
tiers. His mind naturally was charged with
their traditions, and he became familiar with
the Indian from personal contact. The chiefs
Of the Six Nations, who were still powerful,
were more fortunate in having their portraits
20 down to posterity than they suspected.
The urchin they saw playing about, or staring
at them when they came to Otsego Hall, was
TO make their pictures live long after their
names were to be buried in oblivion.
But Cooper left this natural state early.
At - he went to Yale college He had been

While in the navy he married Miss De
Lancoy, and, in Difference to her wishes, in
1911 resigned his commission and lived at his
wife's home in Westchester county, N. Y.
When Cooper was about 30 years old he
was one day reading an English novel to his
wife, and casually remarked that he believed
he could write better novel himself. His
wife encouraged him to try, and he wrote his
first story It was called "Precaution," and
was published anonymously in 1920. The
book was picture of English life, with
which the author was unfamiliar, but it was
well enough received to encourage him to
write another,
