died. She throws much light on the great
painting OF the "Old Oaken Bucket," which
the Boston Transcript mentioned as hav-
ing been exhibited ''some years ago"
Mrs. Wethered said: ''Ihe portrait
which you see there of my father was
painted by Jerome Thomas. The picture
was one of the first that the artist painted.
My father recognized in him the genius of
an artist and encouraged him to paint. He
painted the original "Old Oaken Bucket
picture, which is now, as | believe, in
England, but l cannot give you the name
of the owner. 1t was painted about 1898,
and was exhibited in Boston and other
leading cities The exhibitors realized
some $125, 900 from its exhibition. In Bos-
ton it created great public interest. Many
of those who saw it visited the old home
stead and brought home bottles OF water
from the we'll. The picture, | am sure,
went to England.
'Now, as to the original manuscript of
the old Oaken Bucket, which the CALL is
SO anxious to locate, believe it is also in
England. AS my recollection goes, my
brother, Frederick A. Woodwork, left all
my fathers manuscripts in the house OF
Charles Morris of Brooklyn, n. Y, in
1865. This Morris was no relative to
George P. Morris, who wrote the introduce

FREITAS DIVORCE SUIT.
A Malicious Cross Complaint Answered
by the@Original Plain

Mrs. Ada M. Freitas has filed an amended
complaint through her attorneys, Delmas
and Shortridge and ]. H. Long, to the
answer and cross-complaint of her hus-
band. NJ. I. Freitas, to her original COM
plant. The answer and cross-complaint
of her husband, she claims, was cruel and
unjust, and without any basis for the
charge besides his own malice, accused her
of unbecoming conduct and has thereby
caused her great humiliation. She says
the charges he made in his cross-complaint
are scandalous and entirely without foun-
dation, and charges that they are made
merely for the purpose of injuring her
reputation in the eyes OF the public and
with her friends.
The former charges of cruelty which she
brought against her husband are repeated
in the amended complaint, and she prays
for the same reEef-divorce and $500 a
month alimony and a distribution of the
community property.

HISTORY OF AFAMoUs PICTURE
Lydia Reeder Woodwork, tho Poets
Gifted Wife, Died In San
Francisco.

How dear to this heart the of childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deeptangled Wildwood
And every loved spot which my infancy knew!
The widespreading pond and the mill that by it,
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell;
The cot of my father, the dairy-house nigh it,
And cen the rude bucket that hung in the we'll
The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket,
The moss.coveIed bucket which hung in the well.
That moss-covered vessel hailed 4 treasure,
For often at noon, when returned from the field
found it the source of an exquisite pleasure,
The purest and sweetest that nature yield.
How ardent seized it. with hands that were glowing
And quick TO the white pebbled bottom it fell,
Then soon, with the emblem of truth overhowng,
And dripping with GOODNESS it rose from the we'll
The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket,
The moss-covered bucket, arose from the we'll
How sweet from the green messy brii,. receive it.
AS poised on the curb it inclined my lips!
Not full bIshng goblet could tempt me to leave it,
The brightest that beauty revelry sips.
And now, far removed from the loved habitation.
The tear of regret will intrusvely SWELL
AS fancy reverts to my fathers plantation,
And signs for the bucket that hangs in the we'll
The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket
The moss-covered bucket that hangs in the well!
