Dr. Jesse Cope Green Says He
Hasn't Had Time to Accom
plish Many Things
NO SECRET IN LONG LIFE
Hotv to Live to 102
Told by Centenarian
Eat little.
Shun dissipation.
Keep busy.
Think lepa of self.
Don't worry.
Tn n quaint old house on Ciay street,
West Theater, there lives the biihlest
man in Vennsylvtinia. One hundred
and two years haven't been enough for
Dr. Jesse Cope Green to accomplish half
the things he wants to do nnd there
aren't hours enough in the day for him
to do all the things he sees to be done
about his well-ordered household.
Doctor CJroen will be 102 years old
December IN. Happy, healthy and
busy, he looks back over more than
a century of achievement nnd forward
to future accomplishments as confi
dently nts most men of fifty or sixty. ,
"There is no sorrel of long life," he
tells his friends. "They must just keen
busy and not think too much of self. I
Of course, T have boon careful of my
hnnlth. T never eat much. I have never
tasted intoxicants nor used tobacco." I
Few men of middle cge have ledsuch j
useful lives ns Doctor (ireen. llis ex
periences as one of 1'rniisylviinln'xlirst
school teachers lifter a state educational ,
system was established are huppy mem- j
orlcs. His more than sixty joars of i
practice us u leading dentist of AVest
Chester and vicinity are past. His in-
terest and influence in polities have i
waned. His wife and three of his four
children are dead. Hut the house he
erected nearly sixty years ago is still i
home for hiin and his only son, 'William (
It. Green. New iuterests have come as ,
old ones passed, for ills slogan lias j
always been "keep the mind and body i
active." I
lias Two Workshops
Two long workshops that open from
his study aro the scene of most of his
activity these days. Stacked to the
celling as they are with worn drawers
and shelves bearing tools of every de
scription, lie knows every nook and
crnnny. He climbs up und down the
ladders, .manipulates the lathe and tbe
saws ns bo turns out book shelves for
his beloved books or fushions watch '
chains nnd trinkets from gold and other
metals. Thero ure evidenres of his
handicraft throughout the house, and
he is especially proud of two splendid
microscopes mudo in his laboratories.
For nearly eighty years ho has boon
n weather observer for the United
States Government, and twice a day he
still makes his neat entries in the I
"weather books.
A keen student all Ids life, ho is in
tensely interested in books and bas
many rare volumes. lli.s best loved are
his almanacs. He lias a set of six from
the libraries of Charles 11 and George
.II, begiunlng with the year 10411. One j
of these almanics is dedicated to the.
Friends, nnd Doctor Green, himself n
Friend, is particularly fond of this. A ,
portion of the title page reads :
"A yea and nay ulmanar for the
people called by the world Quakers, con
taining many needful and necessary ob- '
servations from the first day of the first
month tilt the last dny of (lie twelfth
month. Being the third after the Hl
sextile or the Leaping Year."
There ure also eighteen almanacs of
l'phemerides for tbe years 1504 to 1 fill I,
printed in "Venice and in Latin. He
lias many of the later American til -munacs,
as well as English ones.
Lilies His Almanacs
'I like my almanacs," he said as lie
lingered Hie fruyed puges of one. "I
remember Lincoln proved a most im
portant question once by referrring to
his almanac. I have gained much
knowledge from them.
"Perhaps thee would be interested in
Mime of my other collections," he
added, and he pointed. to hundreds of
canes, some in cases, some stacked in
corners of the library. "They come
from nil parts of the world," he ex
plained. "They were brought by my
friends, most of them, for 1 have never
traveled much. 1 haven't had time. T
have never been west of Chicago or fur
ther from home than Quebec."
Then he showed u collection of auto
graphs, including the autographs of
every President of the United Htates.
There were letters 'from many of them
n'nd some of the handwriting of William
J'enu and Henjamiu Franklin.
Met Many Old Scholars
"I met many of the statesmen and
scholars of what thee calls the olden
days. Hut theo must not say much
about me. Only what would be helpful
to others. 'es, 1 liked politics, and I
voted this year. Sly first voto was
cast in 18.'t8 and in 1840 I voted for
President Harrison. 1 walked many
miles to attend big gatherings, where
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and great
generals or stutesmen were speakers.
1 shook hands with Lincoln at nn enter,
taininent given for him hi Washington
in 18(H. I met Mrs. Lincoln then, too.
President Lincoln wns a good, solid,
summon seuse'man a big num."
Doctor Greeu walks about the city
each day to "keep his knees active."
From early morning till evening he
busies himself about his house, Thero
isn't a corner of it he doesn't love untl
know by heart. There arc pictures,
furniture, grandfather clocks and trin
kets hunticd down through long genera
tions that he treasures greatly. Hut
h doesn't live in the past. Each day
is lilted with its simple duties and
pleasures, and cuoli tomorrow is happily
looked forward to.
