Samuel Woodworth has been laid with
his fathers for over half a century. He
disdEinsNews York city on Dec. 8, 1912,
in the 5sth yearsOf his age. His life vas
devoted to literary pursuits and among
his poems are many that are beautiful in
thought and faultless in construction.
His work WAS well known in England,
ed to Wordsworth. His whole career was
interesting. He was eulogized by Cltn-
ton, Webster Charming, Everett. Hal
leck, Pinck ney, Irving, Paulding, Girls
void, Duyckinck, Story. sir Waiter Soott
and many other eminent scholars of his
time. OF kind and gentle nature; ne
was personally beloved by all VINO knew
him. Hia simplicity and amiablllty are
best typified in the pastoral poems that
gained him fame. Most of the poets I'M
mediate descendants are residents OF TINS
city. They caused the removal OF MS
| remains tosthe family vault IN Laufel
Hill in 1864, where they have since re-
manned.
Mrs. Mary j. Wetherel of 2109 Pacific
avenue is the poets daughter. Sellm d;
Woodwork, commander in the United
States navy, who was we'll known on
the Pacific coast, was son OF the poet:
Commander Woodworth died in 1871, but
at least two of his sons, Selim II. and
Frederick A. Woodworth, yet reside In
| San Francisco.
'Ihe Old Oaken Bucket WAS written
in the summer Of 1917, when aWoodworth
and his family sswere living in Duane
street, New York city. One very warm
day the poet went home to. dinner. tired
and thirsty. He drank glass OF water
and, as he replaced the tum bier upon the
table, he said: "That is very refresh.
! ing; but : how much more refreshing
would it be to take good, long draught
this warm day from the old oaken
bucket I left hangingsin myssfather's well
at homer'
| His wife at once said that his remark
contained suggestion for a pretty poem.
The poet accepted the idea and, under
the inspiration of :. the moment, he sat
down and poured out from the depths Of
his heart the lines that have immortal
lied his name. The poem became spopu-
lar Immediately upJnaits publication and
Woodworth found himself famous,
Jerome Thomas visitsd the old Wood
worth plantation at Scituate, Plymouth
county, Massachusetts, where the poet
was born on Jan. Is, 1885, and there por-
trayed Ola canvas the original oaken
bucket, just M it hung in the we'll. The
painting was completed in 1888. 1t was

Ansinteresting experiment in Southern
colonization is that of the Dunkard col
ony, which month ago left Washing ton
County, Md, for point in Alabama,
fifty five miles north of Mobile. The
leader is j. Mitchell Slower, who has
been the largest peach grower in the
Blue Mountain belt. The colony has a
definite object which is the raising of
peaches and plunas and other fruits. 1t
has established an experimer tal fruih
and vegetable farm, ana has acquired
$500 acres at Eruitdale.
One reason for the removal to Alabama
issste escape from the disease of the peach
tree known as "yellows' which has de-
stroyed SO many peach orchards in della
ware and Maryland. Toe leaders OF the
Fru1tdale colony hope by scientific
methods TO prevent the Introduction in
their orchards of the various diseases and
parasites which have played Esuch havoc
with plums, apricots, cherries, peach Is
and other fruits elsewhere. Mr.. Slower
will.experiment withEthe trees. while they
are In bloom, and ten days afterwards
will smudge the orchards of the expert

pine logs and stumps rich in tar and

A group of Congressman were discuss
ing Christmas presents and other gifts
yesterday, and one of them told about
the experience of a newly welded COUPLE
in his district. They have recently been
in Washington. AT the time of their
marriage they recsived a beautiful piece
of bric-a- brac from a friend of theirs re-
siding in distant city. The gift came
by express, and the package, when
opened proved that the delicate and
fragile ware had been broken in transit.
They deoided to say nothing to the
donor of this, but Acknowledged the'gift,
and when they were in New York City
on their wedding trip they visited the
importer, whose business address up
peared on the wrapper of the broken ar
tiole, with thu intention of duplicating
it. They were informed by the firm that
it would be impossible to duplicate this
article, as they had imported only one
such and that had come in n broken con-
dition. 1t had afterward been sold to
such and such a gentleman, lawyer, in
certain city. 1t twas Ethe friend who
had sent them the wedding gift.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Story of
Puriitana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., IL. D.,
who Tor thirty-two years was at the
head OF Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener-
ations has furnished moro distin-
guished medical men than any other
family In America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and themethod
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. R. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening OF abb
scess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
LlI UA1O Otu1 Ol AAAo
extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of ON original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering OF
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary Ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all OF which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory Of
Common Sense.
