Increases Profanity.

,"The telephone" says William Lyon
Phelps In the New Republic, has sure
ly spread the habit of cursing. AS
Figaro says, TO get your telephone
connection is no longer an achieve
ment; it is a career Learning to play
the typewriter has also loosened the
tongue. A friend wrote me-he is a
professor in a woman's college-thar
In playing his machine he had discov-
cred in his nature depths of depravity
hitherto undreamed of. But golf has
done more for swearing than any 9th
er modern employment; it has made
taciturn gentlemen as efficient as team
sters. The disappointments of golf are
so immediate, so unexpected, so over
whelming. Nearly all men, and wom-
en-, too, must swear naturally In their
thoughts; else how explain such easily
acquired profciency?"

Australia Prepares for Soldiers.

Australia has, from the first, crap.
pied with the question of providing
for her soldiers after the war with
commendable energy and forethought.
For some mouHhs the Australian
patriation fund has been devoting 10.
self to the consideration and devel-
opment Of various plans whilst many
practical steps have been taken by
individuals and communities toward
the formation of definite settlement
schemes, says correspondent. The
state government of New South Wales
has set aside special areas for cultiva-
ton by returned soldiers. These eff
forts were supplemented by the gen.
erosity Of one landowner who gave a
tract of land amounting to thousands
of acres for that purpose. Australians
first need is population and the COM
monwealtb will have an opportunity.
after the war, not only to supply her
own need but also to do a great sew
Ice to the labor market BY affording
that room for adjustment" which 1t
will need. The federal government
has already promised $10,0OO,000 for
the work and has pledged itself to
raise an additional $50, 100000 in the
future.

"Does this car travel by Dale street
or by Church street," asked an anx-
ious passenger as he stepped aboard
at the corner Of Tunnel road, Liver
pool, during a darkness which could be
felt. II do not know" was the girl
conductors naive reply. When the
passenger expressed surprise coupled
with pain. as he had fear of missing

COOPERS AT HOME
Town on 0tsego Lake Bears
Family Name of Novelist.
Hero the Noted Writer Gained In
spiratlon to Execute Works That
Brought Him Fame.

With the arrival of solitary horse
man at the shores of Otsego lake In
New York begins the history of Coop
erstown. He was William Cooper, Of
a Buckinghamshire family that came
to America from England In ITO. and
he founded the town which bears his
name. Leaving his home In Pennsyl-
vania in 1875, at the age of thirty-one,
he investigated the region round about
Otsego lake with the intention of
founding there a home for himself
and village for others. In January,
1905, he took possession, In associa-
ton with Andrew Craig, of a large
tract of 29,350 acres, soon afterward
buying out his partners share and
becoming sole owner. Settlers began
to arrive, and in 1888, Cooper erected
street, where is now the entrance to
the beautiful and extensive Cooper
estate.
This William Cooper was the father
Of James Fenimore Cooper, who in his
transfer to his new home at the age
Of thirteen months was the impasslve
witness of an amusing family differ
ence. 1t seems that when William
Cooper had completed arrangements
for the transfer of his family from
Burlington, N. J., to Cooperstown, his
wife positively refused to 60. She
remembered the wilderness which she
had visited three years before and she
nrnf0rRnd hn tAt
and congenial friends of her old home
to the discomforts Of pioneer settle
ment. The conveyance was ready and
waiting, her husband urged her to give
In, but she sat firmly in chair in
the library of her Burlington home
and refused to bulge.
The circumstances of this family
disagreement are pleasantly narrated
by Rev. Ralph Birdsall, rector Of
Christ church. says the Boston Tran
script, In his delightful little volume
which he calls 'The Story Of Coopers-
town." II Mrs. Cooper was a strong
minded woman, Mr.. Cooper was no
less strong-minded man. HE seized
the chair" says Mr.. Birdsall, with
his wife in 1t, and putting her aboard
the wagon. chair and all, began the
long journey to Otsego. Thus Will
liam Cooper carried his point. while
his wife carried hers. for she travelled
the whole distance In the chair from
which she vowed she would not move.
The chair itself, sacred to the men,
DRY of two strong minds, is still in use
In the Cooper family"
This change of home doubtless
shaped, If It did not alter, the life Of
James Fenimore Cooper. All his first
impressions, he said long afterward,
were obtained in the Otsego region.
It Is to be doubted whether Fenimore
Cooper would have gained such wide
celebrity as a novelist II he had not
discovered the unique field Of romance
which the lake and hills Of Otsego
began to open to his vision. Had Feni-
more Cooper remained In Burlington
he might have written good novels.
but not "The Leather Stocking Tales"

A colonel of well-known Highland

had named "The Retreat"
His gardener, who was an old SOL

time by the colonel, was asked by the
latter what he thought of the place.
Zine But I dinna like that" said
the old soldier, pointing to the name
on the entrance.
"Why7" replied the colonel. "What's
the matter with it?"
"Weel, SIR" replied the veteran,
drawing himself up. I'VE ken ye never
heard that played on DOR bugles."
