HOW GREAT MEN MAKE LOVE AS REVEALED BY THEIR . LOVE LETTERS
JAMES KENMORE COOPER
 AND MRS. COOPER
By JOSEPH KAYE
Y Wheeler Syndicate. Inc. )

TT IS hard to find correspondence A between husband and wife so lov- Ing as the letters that passed between James Fenimore Cooper and his wife. He is the author of The Deerslayer" and is one of Americas most beloved novelists. There are few of the great European writers and artists gener- ally who have not each played Romeo to a variety of Juliets, single and mar ried The romance of Mir and Mrs. Cooper Is an example, typical of the lives of notable Americans in the fine arts
 The following passage from a note written by Coopers daughter when her father died, shows a tender picture of her parents:
 For many years, before separating for even short business absence of dear fathers. they always said to- gether the prayer in the marriage sery- Ice They knelt together. fathers arm about mother; when he grew feeble she knelt and he leaned his head on her shoulder"
 All of Cooper's letters to his Sue are headed by every type of endearing salutation one could think of from My precious Sue" to Dearest Be loved" This letter was written by Cooper in 1s45 and is one of the series which he sent her regularly every two or three days when they were sep erated AT that lime.
 Runaway:
 You have missed me at Syracuse but you cannot ina zine how much you have been missed here For day or two I was about 10 call out Matte every half hour and your daughters were mistaken for you at every turn.
 "It rained here, dearest. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At first we moaned about ynur de- cisinn but when we found out how long the storm continued we were glad you went. Today has been charming. little cool but no rain and bright sun. Your cook has made a cream cheese which looks well and as most of what she does. tastes well, I live In hopes of success. A day or two will decide. This day has been as quiet az last years July Fourth was the reverse-a great many boats on the lake. but that is all, with the exception of crackers and some of the most internal bell ringing last night-even Napoleon could not have stood 1t"

THOUGHTS POLITICAL

Every man was once a presidential possibility-to his mother
 It is important that a dark horse shall not have shady past.
 There Is many slip between the delegates and the candidates
 Many a candidate of great promise turns out to be poor performer.
 Sometimes politician says he Is libeled when he is merely labeled.
 Honesty is the best policy, but some of the men in the office seem to think 1t isn't the best politics.
 It isn't always the logical candidate that wins; frequently it's the geolog- ical candidate-the fellow with the rocks. ks."-Boston Transcript.

WITH A POINT

Councils do not lessen evils, but often increase them.
 You can achieve victory better by deliberation than by wrath.
 That which is possessed in com mon is commonly neglected.
 The courses of banquet should give pleasure to the guests rather than the cooks.

SAYS THE CYNIC

It isn't. the first cost of marriage. but the upkeep that counts.
 One thing the incubator chicken can never do Is talk back to its mother.

WISE MEMS WORDS

Don't send your cat away for being a thief.
 An honest countenance Is the best passport.
 Do not put In more yarn than you can weave.
 If you stir up the mire you must bear the smell.
 There is no place like home. even if.it is a cellar
 He that lies down with dogs will get up with fleas.
 An agreeable companion on the road is as good as a coach.
 He that would gather honey must bear the stings of bees.
 When you are in vicious company you are among your enemies.
 Do not look upon the vessel, but upon that which it contains.
 He that has but one hog makes him fat; he that has but one son makes him a fool.
 Knayery may seem to succeed for a time, but honesty always wins In the long run.
 Employ your time well and, since you are not sure of a minute. do not throw away an hour.
 In society compliments are loans which the lenders expect to be re- paid with heavy interest.

ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN

Fully nine-tenths of the women in China cannot write their own names
 Single girls in New Guinea let their hair hang about their shoulders in all its glory, but immediately after marriage must have it bobbed
