FEARED A DROUGHT.
But twas Only a Broken Bucket Chain
That Caused Water Famine.

1t 10 O well-known fact that Kettle Point
Ia one of the protest places along the
shore, and that the residents are all Of q
very obliging disposition, and
are at all times ready
to assist each other In times of need and
adversely, but In the minds of the
greater part of the inhabitants 1t was
evident that this state of
affairs had come to an abrupt
conclusion yesterday. As one of the
older residents, Is was his usual custom,
went to the well-which, by the way, is
owned by one man and supplies
water for all on the Point-he
found that the bucket had been
removed from its accustomed resting
place. 1t was not many minutes before
the news was known to each household
that there was 10 moro drinking water to
be had and this was the cause Of much sad
ness. The shower was hailed with delight
and all prayed that it would continue long
enough to warrant the bucket being again
hung In the we'll, and so It did, for as
sosn as the shower broke away, the owner
was seen at the well and busily
engaged. There were many willing hands
to assist, and soon the much beloved well
was once more In working order and the
supply found to be sufficient for the
present, and had always been, the
cause Of the trouble being q
broken bucket chain. The bucket had
been at the bottom OF the well during the
day. Mr.. Horton the owner will allow all
to draw water from the well as long as
there is any to be drawn.
