have waned indistinctly into a hazy
background, against which stands bold
ly the undisputed truth that the author
of 1.-The Spy and The Pilot" is justly
worthy Of all praise that has been or
may be accorded him.
The life of this varying popular and
unpopular author had it's beginning
September 10. 1888. at Burlington. n.
J. His parents were both of Quaker
extraction. Soon after the close of
the Revolutionary war the Cooper fam
lily established household within the
borders Of New York State near the
headwaters of the Susquehanna River.
They encouraged the pOpulating Of this
vicinity and subsequently laid ont the
site of Cooperstown. The Cooper fam
lily decided to make their permanent
home in the town founded by them
and in 1893 completed the erection of
spacious manor house. known as OF
sego Hall. which was for many years
the most commodious and stately pri-
vate residence in central New York.
To every reader that has been charm
ed with the spell of Cooper's Indian rO-
mances. the surroundings of his boy
hood days are significant. During those
years the foremost pioneers of emigra.

way westward through the Mohawk
Valley, the first available highway to
the west. Out of the forest that bor-
dered Otsego Lake Indians came for
barter, or possibly with hostile intent,
and from these no. doubt Cooper drew

an expensive funeral, with many of the
accessories usually accorded to those

throat disease.
According to one of the New York pa.

condition of the birds throat it was

even fatal results. This disease, called
psttacoss, from the Greek word for
parrot. was first studied about five
years ago in Paris during an epidemic
that developed in that city and was
for long time mystery to attend

Altogether about sixty human beings

1926 his popularity had attained it's
zenith with the publication Of "The
Last of the Mohicans." But with fame
came envy and uncharita bleness from
his contemporaries at home and
abroad. English reviewers claimed him
as native. fixing his birthplace in the
Isle of Man, and denounced him as a
renegade. Naturally of q head-strong
and combative disposition. he resented
the accusations and insinuations thrust

the portraits of the red men who live
in his pages. Such wild surroundings
could not but stimulate a naturally
active Imagination and the influence of
the wilderness. augmented afterwards
by the somewhat similar influence Of
the sea, pervaded his entire life.
From a private tutor he received his
earliest education and at the age of IS
entered the freshman class of Yale Col
lege. According to his own account,
he learned but little at college. His
love of out-of-doors freedom led him to
neglect his books and he roamed about
and explored the rugged hills north
ward of New Haven and the equally
picturesque shores of Long Island
Sound Gradually he became wilder
! and more persistent in his defiance of
academic restraints and was finally ex-
PEELED.
Upon leaving his studies the love of
activity and adventure laid hold on the
youth and he decided to take up the
| life of a seaman. In 1906 he made his
first voyage as sailor before the mast
on the ship Sterling, sailing from New
York with cargo of -four for foreign
markets After this he served for a
time as midshipman on the Vesuyius
and was later ordered to Oswego, n.
Y, with construction party to build
brig for service on Lake Ontario.
Then he was given charge Of the gun.

was subsequently ordered to the Wasp.
In 1911 he married daughter Of John
Peter Delaney. Of Westchester Coun-
ty, n. Y, and resigned his position in
the navy to settle into quiet, domes-
tic life. In Difference to his wife's
wishes he built his home in Westches-

Invasion of Northwest Canada.

Manitoba and the Canadian North
west are repeating with great rapidity
the history Of the winning of our West.
The problem Of absorbing the Galicians.
Russians and other refractory races is
specifically Canadian. but the remarkable
influx Of American settlers in these re-
gions must affect both Canada and our
selves. AS yet we have no accurate sta
tistics Of this agrarian invasion. Yet
some idea of its significance may he gain
ed from the following figures. In the
years 189S-19OO the total immigration
from America to Canada was, respective
ly, 9.119, 11.945 and 1880. During the
first five months of the present year the
Great Northern Railroad alone carried
$4,000 immigrants into Manitoba. While
some Of these were taken directly from
the incoming steamers, many were either
American-born or thoroughly American
lied. This cannot continue without pro-
ducing its effect upon the relations Of the
two countries. A constant social inter
change and common agricultural interests
in the Northwest will more and more re-
duce the boundary to its definition as an
lima ginary line."-New York Evening
