Cooper puts into the mouth of one
of his chief characters, a naval Of
fcer, these words, touching the life
nd motives Of John Paul Jones:
His devotion to America proceeded
from a desire for distinction, his rul-
ing passion. His love for liberty may
be the more questionable. for if he
commenced his deeds in the cause of
these free states, they terminated in
the services of despot.
He is now dead, but had he lived

his profession, his cool, deliberate and

West Pembroke, Me, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation By
the following experience;
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass on In a month she
would have the spells again. AT these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites Of
her eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used In all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally. when she is
rot feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy, happy
future for them.

MOTIVES OF JOHN PAUL JONES

the blows that he struck for liberty
would prefer to take as the essence of
truth the words which Cooper puts
into the mouth of the admiral. In the
story, THE Pilot" John Paul Jones
stands on English soil and has met
Alice Dunscombe. She upbraids him
for being disloyal to his king. THE
Pilot" answers:
"A man with soul not to be limit
ed by the arbitrary boundaries of
tyrants and hirelings, but one who
has the right as well as the inclina-
ton to grapple with oppression, in
whose name soeyer it is exercised or
in whatever hollow and specious shape
1t POUNDS its claim to abuse our race"
It is evident that Cooper's Judgment
repudiated the words of his hero, for
the passages quoted first almost un-
questionably express the judgment of
the American novelist on the motives
and character of the first great Ameri-
can admiral.
One of the latest and possibly the
best of the biographers of John Paul
Jones says that his life was written
in three nguages-English French
and Russian-and that though this life
was for more than 100 years the
theme of many busy pens, the half
of it has not yet been told"
"The half of it has not yet been
told" because the half of it is not
known. The papers of John Paul
Jones were scattered to the four
winds. Some of them have been
found, and from them disconnected
account of his life and of the motives
which actuated him has been con
structed When more material has
been collected and a fuller study can
be made light may be let in upon
the character of this man who carried
the first American flag to victory on
the high seas.
There is one authenticated story
concerning John Paul Jones which
would go to show that his love for
America had an earlier birth than the
date Of the opening Of the American
revolution which gave the sailor his
opportunity to serve his ambition.
Jones was living on a plantation in
Virginia. Some British naval officers
were visiting the port near his home.
One of them, Capt. Parke, when the |
subject of a possible revolt of the
colonies was broached, said in Jones
presence: America can be easily |
overcome If the courage OF the colo
nial men is on par with the virtue o.
the colonial women"
John Paul Jones promptly knocked
Capt Parke down and the officer was |
carried 10 his ship and never pressed
for the opportunity to fight in a duel.

Difference Of Opinion as to Whether
the Splendid Exploits Of Americas
First Naval Hero Were Due to Love
of Adventure or to His Devotion to
His Adopted Country.

If the bringing back of the remains
of hero to the land for which he
fought were a proper occasion for a
popular demonstration of noisy en-
thusiasm it is probable that the re-
mains of John Paul Jones would be
received in America with the acclaim
of admiration rather than the acclaim
Of love.
Some day it may be known defin-
itely whether merica's first admiral
fought for the infant republic from
motives Of pure patriotism or from
the spur of ambition. He fought with
nothing less than desperate courage
for the cause which he had espoused,
but there are those things in John
Paul Jones life which make it seem
that he may have fought because OF
sheer love for fighting and because
the immediate need of the struggling
colonies gave opportunity for the ac-
quiring of that need of individual
glory which some men claim the soul
of John Paul Jones craved.
