.rHE OLD OAkES ErCKET.- =

Samuel Woodwork, the author Of
1.-THE Old Oaken Bucket" died at
New York in 1912, aged 81. He
was printer. and served his appren-
ticeship at Boston, in the Office of
Mayor Russell, the publisher of the
Sentinel The.popular and beautiful
ballad, for which he is best known, is
said to have IFS origin under the fol-
lowing circumstances -
He was employed in an Office on
the Corner of Chestnut and Chambers
Streets, in New York. One day, with
knot of brother typos, he dropped
in at an establishment kept by Mall
lory, on Franklin Street, for the pur-
pose Of taking some brandy and wa
ter, which Mallory was famous for
keeping. The liquor was excellent,
and Woodworth seemed inspired by
1t for after taking draught, he set
his glass upon the table, and smack
ing his lips, declared that Mallory's
eau de cie was superior to any thing
he had ever tasted. mo-" said a
comrade, 'syou are quite mistaken ;
there was one thing which In both
our estimations, far surpassed this, in
the way of drinking" "What was
that ?'' asked Woodwork, obviously.
tFThe draught Of pure, fresh spring
water that we used to drink from the
old oaken bucket that hung in the
we'll, after our return from the labor;
Of the field, on sultry day in sum
mer." The tear-drop glistened for {
moment in Woodworth's eye
ssTrue, true % he replied, and soor
afterquitted theplace. Hereturned Il
the Office, grasped the pen, and il
half an hour ssThe Old Oaken Buck
et," one of the most delightful COM
positions in our language, was ready
in manuscript, to be embalmed il

CAS- You suproRT GEAR I

There is not Republican saloon
keeper, there is not Republican beer
maker, there is not Republican cor
ruptionist, there is not Republican
bribe taker,or Republican bribe giver,
there is not Republican, rascally, cor
rupt and bribe taking editor, there is
not a Republican ring jobbing contract
or, there is not drunken Republican
politician in the State Of Iowa but who
favors the re election Of John II. Gear
to be Governor Of Iowa. Can Tenn
perance Republicans and Prohibition
Republicans support the popular candi-
date Of such menl Can they labor for
Gears re- -election7
We do not claim, and would not
claim, that all men who support Gear
are bad men, for that would be false,
but we do claim that every bad and
corrupt man in the Republican party
is warm supporter Of Gear, and they
support him because they know Gear
to be their friend. We place these
facts before the Iowa Temperance and
Prohibition Republicans and ask them
to give them candid consideration, and
now plead for the sake Of Iowa's honor,
for the sake Of the protection Of Iowa's
homes, for the sake Of all that is hon,
est, pure and true, to come to wise
ana conscientious decision, and give an
emphatic answer next October at tbs
ballot box,

New Hampshire voters are, it
seems, proverbially independent in
their action. A good story is told,
never before in print, of an old FASH
ioned New Hampshire Democrat who
once went down to work for the rich
John J. Williams, of Roxbury, Mass.
When voting day came round, Mr..
Williams asked his hired man how he
was going to vote. He replied for
the opposition candidate. MIR. Will
liams said: aIf you do so vote I will
not have you to work for me day
longer. The hired man then said |:
off you don't vote for my candidate I
will not work for you a day longer. y
They confronted each other at the
polls, watched each other, and saw
that theyi voted Opposite tickets.
The hired man went home, packed
up, and demanded an immediate set
Element. Mr.. Williams laughed and
said: 81 did not mean what said j;
I can't get along without you you
won't go ~ Hired man said I
did mean what / said, will never
work for man who don't vote the
Democratic ticket. And he went
home to New Hampshire. This is a
true account Of how an old-fashioned
New Hampshire Democrat attempts
ed to bulldoze his employer

Any one who has seen the rivalry Of
the contestants in spelling school will
appreciate this incident from Edward
Eggleston's "reminiscences Of his school
days, published in Se,f5acr's Kagasine.
He says;
1t was in the game old Bethel school
house, about the same time that the
master, one Benefited, called out the
spelling class Of which my mother, then
little girl, was usually at the head.
The word given out was "onion." /
suppose the scholars at the head Of the
class had not recognized the word by
it's spelling in studying their lessons.
They all missed it widely, spelling it in
the most ingenionsly incorrect fashions.
Near the foot of the class stood a boy
who had never been able to climb up
toward tho head. But of the few words
he did know how to spell, one was
"onion." When the word was missed
at the head lie became greatly excited,
twisting himself into the most ludi-

nearer to him. At length the one just
above The eager boy missed, and the
master said s.next," whereupon he ex-
ultingly swung lis hands above his
head and came out with "O-n, un, ION,
yum, ing-un-I'm head, by gosh!'' and
he marched to the head, while the mas
ter gave him a blow across the head for
swearing.

An INDIAN AGENT AND AGENCY wETH.
or INDIANS.

Mr.. G. Cram, who went from this
place some time since withtwo teams
carrying 1900 pounds of govern
ment freight TO Camp Harney, re-
turned here on Thursday. He was
accompanied by Mr.. B. l.. Jenes.
They went by the Canyon City road
across the Blue Mountains, striking
the Canyon City and Winnemueca
road and returned by the way of the
Malheur agency. There were no In
dians at the agency, at Harney, or
anywhere on the road, only the rum
ored presence Of a few bucks and two
squaws, who are reported to have
wintered at Castle mountain and to
be seen there occasionally. Castle
mountain is about four miles north
west of the agencys Rinehart is at
the agency, where he has with him
blacksmith and two other men, who
are engaged in hauling hay, but no
sign of single Indian anywhere
near. Rinehart's mission among the
Piutes near the town of Winnemucca,
where he offered the old Chief Win
nemucca $500 and Chief Nachez $50
to come to the agency, and offered So
each for every Indian they would
bring with them, was entirely fruit
less. Neither of the chiefs would
listen to his magnificent offers, and
not a single redskin could be tempt
ed to return to the reservation.

Don't go TO the theatre, concert or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call,
And good long letter write
Write TO the sad old folks at home,
Who sit when the day Is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think Of the absent one.
Don't selfshly scribble, "Excuse my haste,
I've scarcely time 70 wriie,v
Lest their brooding thoughts gowandering
back
To many a by-gone night
When they lost their needed sleep and
rest,
And every breath was . prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
Te their lender love and care.
Don't lot them feel that you've no mors
need
or their love or counsel wise;
For the heart grove strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes
II might be well 70 let them believe
You never forget Them, quite;
That lyou deem It pleasure, when far
away,
Long letters home 10 write.
Don't think that the young and giddy
friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thought for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do net put of,
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they looked and
longed
Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing TO hear fron the absent one
