AFenimore cooper Letter.

An autograph collector of Philadel.
phia has in his possession the following
letter written by James Fenimore
Cooper to his publishers in 1881:
II hope you will be wrong in antici-
pating bad reception for The Bravo
l cannot tell you much of it's reception
in Europe, though Gosselin says it is
very decidedly successful in France.
America is, of all countries, one of the
least favorable to works of the mag.
nation. In Europe or, rather, in Eng
land, where there has existed neces-
sity of accounting for some success in
the very teeth of their prejudices and
wishes, it has been the fashion to say
that no writer ever enjoyed SO favora,
BILE an opportunity as because I am
an American and sailor. AS to the
sailor part Of the business, it is gross
ly absurd, for what advantage has an
American sailor over any other? They
know the falsehood of what they say
In this respect, for 1 can get $4,000 for
nautical tale that shall celebrate Eng
fish skill tomorrow. For myself, can
write two European stories easier than
can write one American. Why, Eu.
rope itself is romance, while all
America is a matter of fact, humdrum

German students ana Beer.

To speak Of the pleasures of the Ger.
man student and make no mention of
beer would be like the play of "Ham-
let" with the part of the melancholy
Dane left out. AS the student strolls
about the country or the city, in the
music halls and theaters, at his social
gatherings of all kinds, at dinner or at
supper, he steadily drinks his beer.
The code Of health drinking and the
etiquette Of the drinking bout are COM
plicated and most punctually observed.
All university functions include a
great drinking bout = jubilees of re-
nowned professors, club anniversaries,
ceremonies in honor of a retiring pro.
fessor. Any and every ceremony is in
complete without the formal kneipe
with toasts. He has attempted to throw
a poetical glamour around beer, to in.
vest it with the charm Of tradition and
to hallow it with old associations Of
college days.
In Europe the American prefers to
drink water, and this is great mys-
terry to the Germans, who cannot pos.
sibly understand how they can prefer
this to beer.-Detroit Free Press.

Guided Himself.

The father of Thomas Jefferson died
in 1867, and the sons situation was
touchingly described by him years aft
erward in a letter written to his eldest
grandson when he was sent from home
to school for the first time. 1t is given
in 'The True Thomas Jefferson" by
William e. Curtis. The letter was as
follows:
"When recollect that at fourteen
years of age the whole care and direc-
ton of myself was thrown on myself
entirely, without relative or friend
qualified to advise or guide me, and
recollect the various sorts Of bad COM
pany with which / associated from
time to time, am astonished that 1
did not turn off with some Of them and
become as worthless to society as they
were.
81 had the good fortune to become
acquainted very early with some char
acters of very high standing and to
feel the incessant wish that could be-
come as they We're"
Els father left instructions for his
education and especially enjoined up
on the widow not to permit him to
neglect "the exercise requisite for his
bodye's development" This strong
man knew the value of strength and
used to say that person of weak body
could not have an independent mind.

JOSH FOUND HIMSELF LICKED MAN.

JOSH FOUND HIMSELF A LICKED MAN.
Womanlike she felt pretty bitter over
1t, but at the same time she had to
give MI. Chisholm credit for lack of
any bitterness. He stated his case in
the mildest manner and even spoke
highly of her as neighbor. When
she returned home after the lawsuit,
she said to her hired man:
Josh, If that man Chisholm comes
on my land again want you to throw
him off,"
"Yes'm, I'll do it, replied the sturdy
Josh.
1t wasn't fortnight before CHS
holm came. He was on his way to the
house when Josh headed him off and
ordered him back. He refused to go,
and Josh laid hold of him to do the
throwing act, but found himself lick

Cut Flowers.

Many people who profess themselves
very fond of flowers seem not to love
them well enough to take proper care
of them. Especially is this true of cut
flowers, which unless properly cared
for last such a short time. During the
day give them the coolest place in the
room, the icebox if you have one.
Choose for all long stemmed flowers
deep vase, change the water every day;
at night take them from the ease and
plunge them in cool fresh water to the
very bloom. You will find them much
refreshed in the morning. whereas il
they stand all night in the same water
or in an insufficient quantity they will
be limp and discouraged by morning.
Those who complain they cant keep
flowers" are usually those who neglect
these simple precautions.

stall flew into bits as those mighty

The men scrambled wildly to places
of safety, each shouting orders to the
other. Little Pete, the satellite of jim,
had been stealing a nap in the corner
of the barn, and when the alarm came
no one thought of him until the raging
beast swept toward the spot where he
lay. A prolonged cry went up from
the negroes as, powerless to reach the
child, they saw him seized by the
shoulder and swung upward, and then,
from somewhere, came clear, low
whistle, sweet as thrush's note. The
horse paused, his fine ears alert, still

ID
Widow Jason was the relict of Farm
er Jason, and she carried on the farm
otter his death with even more wisdom
than he had shown himself possessed
of. She was still on the brighter side
OF forty, fair to look upon and was at
peace with all her neighbors until the
one to the east of her sold out and
stranger moved in.
He was a man of middle age named
Chisholm, and, being a widower, his
sister managed the house for him. If
the Widow Jason was one of those who
wondered what sort of man he was,
she was the first to find it out. Among
her live stock that year were dozen
hogs, and it was the fault of her hired
man that there were holes in the
fences through which they made their
way into the potato field of the new
neighbor. She had just finished her
breakfast one morning when Chisholm
was announced. He had the courtesy
to lift his hat and give his name, but
he also had the bluntncss to add:
Madam, your internal hogs have
rooted up half an acre of potatoes for
me, and IL you can't manage to keep
'em home I'll shoot every one of 'em!"
She looked at him and saw that he
was above the ordinary and felt that
had she been introduced in the conven-
tional way she would have been pleas
ed to make his acquaintance. But his
rude greeting angered her, and, being q
woman with mind of her own, she
at once replied:
Il can pay for all the potatoes on
your farm, and if you come here to
threaten me you'll find woman who
don't scarep'
We'll, you keep your hogs at home."
"And you keep yourself in the same
place"
That was the first tilt. The fences
were mended and the hogs were in de-
spair when high wind blew gate
open, and the drove spent the night in
the same potato field. Next morning
Chisholm drove ten of them home and
said to Widow Jason:
Madam, there are dead hogs belong
ing to you in my field Will you have
them removed or shall bury themy'
"You killed them, did you?" she ask
ed.
81 did. l told you 1 would, and
did"
'oThen I'll have the law on you"
go ahead"
She went to law, and there was a
suit, and she was ingloriously beaten.

Old Age.


Professor Jowett, the great master
Of Ballot college, had wise words to
speak on the crucial topic of growing
old. He wrote to friend:
'"The later years Of life appear to me,
from a certain point of view, to be the
best. They are less disturbed by care
and the world. We begin to under
stand that things really never did mat
ter SO much as we supposed, and we
are able to see them more in their true
proportion instead of being overwhelm-
ed by them. We are more resigned to
the will of God, neither afraid to de-
part nor overanxious to stay. We can
not see into another life, but we believe
with an inextinguishable hope that
there is something still reserved for
u.s.
1t is worth while to remember his
hints for old age, full as they are of
practical wisdom:
Beware of the coming on of age, for
it will not be defied.
A man cannot become young by over
eXerting himself.
A man of sixty should lead quiet,
open air life.
He should collect the young about
him.
He should set other men to work.
He ought at sixty to have acquired
authority, reticence and freedom from
personality.
He may truly think Of the last years
of life as being the best and every year
as better than the last if he knows how
to use it.

A Recoil Joke.

Not so many years ago there was a
veteran teacher in a boys high school
who often made his classes vince I'M
der the lash of his bitter sarcasm and
ready wit. One day little half starv-
ed yellow cur strayed into the school,
and the boys thought they saw chance
to express their feelings toward "Fus-
sy," who was busy in another room.
The frightened mongrel was picked up,
quickly fitted with pair Of large wire
spectacles and placed on the teachers
chair.
"Fussy" entered the room, walked to
his desk, calmly surveyed the work Of
his pupils and then, turning to them,
pleasantly said, "In my absence see
you have held business meeting and
elected one of your number chairman"

In the Ozark mountains there is
spring that could tell some startling
tales and explain away the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of more
than one human being.
Jack Warner thought that he had
made an important discovery, and the
next minute he found that he had made
two of them.
In the first place, he had discovered
"moonshine" distillery, which was
important, but not interesting to him.
In the next place, he was prisoner
in the hands Of the "moonshiners"
themselves, which was both Important
and interesting.
For two long hours in the stormiest
Of nights Jack had toiled YEARLY up a
narrow ravine in the widest of the
