DDS of seeking them, particularly by
distributing small boxes which can
only be opened at the banking office,
have been used successfully. The
Scientific American says that French
bankers have just taken several strides
in advance by introducing the automo-
bile savings bank, which tours the
country districts at stated intervals
and gathers in the savings of the
thrifty peasants.

shelves on the walls for the bankbooks.
and strong box is built into the body
of the car. The officials are from the
MeZieres treasury administration. and
the cashier has power to receive depos-
its of any amount. As there is no de-
sire on the part OF the authorities to
facilitate the withdrawal OF funds, the
peasant IS forced to come TO the central
bank when he needs money. The au-
tOmobile bank began its rounds some
weeks ago and has met with Il most ia
vorable reception.

pump for automobile use in which the
vertical motion OF the body of the car

pumps for supplying water to the boiler

The pistons of the pump are pivotally

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
Subject of WoOdworth's Famous
Poem Suggested by MosS-Grown
Well ON His Fathers Farm.

Many of the most popular songs
and poems have not been the result of
labored and thoughtful effort, but of
some sudden impulse. THE Battle
Hymn of the Republic" was the re-
suit of a sudden inspiration of Mrs.
Howe's. S. f. Smith had no idea, when
he penned the lines of America" that
he was writing the one poem that
would be remembered when all else
that he had written would be for
gotten.
Samuel Woodwork did not think
very much of THE Old Oaken Bucket"
when he wrote the poem of that title
in the summer of 1917, and it would
have grieved him had he known that
simple lines. The other writings of
Woodwork fill several large volumes,
and he has been eulogized as a poet by
such men as Webster, Irving, Chan
ming and Sir Walter Scott, but to-day
very few could name any one of his
poems except 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket"
There was at II time a foolish
Slol1 duOdl lHdG WORTH WTOU6
this beautiful poem in a saloon, but
nothing could be further from the
fact. He wrote the poem in his own
home in Duane street, New York. One
very warm day in midsummer, when
he had walked home to his dinner, he
drank a glass of water as Don as he
had sat down to the table. Putting
down the empty glass, he said to his
wife: THAT is refreshing, but how
much more refreshing would it be to
take a good, long draught this warm
day from the old oaken bucket | left
hanging in my fathers well at home!"
Mrs. Woodwork replied: "Why,
Samuel, wouldn't that be a good SUBJ
ject for a poem?"
Woodwork reflected for a moment,
and then said: $50 it would. must

PLEASING PRESENCE.
WOman's Mind and Body Should
Work in Harmony to Develop
Personal Grace.

How often we meet well-meaning
women in our daily travels here and
there, on the street, in the home, in
society, who, in one way or another,
present an awkward appearance. They
may have a sweet manner but an un-
calmly walk, a pretty face but an in
correct posture, a pleasing voice but
an ~ungraceful handshake.
In these days of advanced ideas on
all lines the world will not tolerate
imperfections in womanly grace, as it
once did. "As a drop of dew reflects
the grandeur of the heavens" so wom-
an is expected to reflect all that is
beautiful in personality.
1t does not require the addition of a
costly gown to be attractive. True,
grace of motion and manner will adorn
the plainest attire. Ones influence for
all hat is high and noble is far greater
when presented by an attractive pic
ture of personal grace.
Women occupy nc small space in the
great affairs of the world to-day, and
the individual must meet the condi-
tions of her time in a manner pleasing
to the spirit of the age in which she
lives. Mind and body should work in
harmony. By the enlightenment of
the one the other will become correct
ly poised and properly controlled.
Feed the mind with beautiful thoughts
and good literature, study the laws
of health and beauty, and note the re-
suits. The face being the reflection of
the soul, you will have a countenance
which expresses a nobleness of spirit
which, in spite of plain features, is at
tractive, certain to leave an impress
sion for good, and fair to look upon;
grace of mind with grace of body
making the perfect woman, who is sure
to be loved.-N. Y. Weekly.
The Tupelo journal., 1902-09-26

make use of the idea right away" Be-
fore the day was done, The Old Oaken
Bucket" was written, the original title
being simply The Bucket"
Samuel Woodwork was born in the
old town of Scituate, Mass, 80 miles
from Boston, in the year 1889, and
theAold well that suggested the ia
nous poem was on his fathers farm.
This well may be seen to-day just as
it was when the poet in his boyhood
days drew water from it in the moss
covered bucket" One may see also
"The wide-spreading pond, and the mill
that stood by it,
The bridge, and the rock where the cat
aract fell"
1t is said that the old mill looks very
much as it did when Woodworth, as a
barefooted boy, played round it. 1.-THE
cot of his fathers" is no longer stand
ing. 1t has given place to a some
what modern house, whose inhabitants
drink Waterfront the well that so often
slaked the thirst of the man whose
lines have made it the most famous
well in all America. Hundreds of
strangers visit the old well every wear
and drink from the water that still
bubbles up from its i~neXhaustible
springs. Some carry away with them
little bottles of the water to keep as
souvenirs.-Morris Marlowe, in Well
spring.

UNCLE HENRY ON LUCK.

Some people say there amt no luck in
this world; they claim
It's wisdom and ard work and pluck
that bring folks wealth and fame;
/ don't deny that there's a pile of truth
in what they say,
But still it makes me kind of smile to
hear EN- talk that way.
When Elder Johnson's oldest son, some
dozen years ago,
Got tired farmin' here and run away to
Join a show,
1t busted up, first thing he knew, and left
him STRANDED fiat,
Not knowin' what the deuce to do, ex-
cept pass round the hat
And then a doctor took him up, in some
Kentucky town,
And he's a famous surgeon now and
saltin' money down.
There wa'n't no luck about that-no! No
luck at all, you bet
But he'd be with the one-horse show,
ift hadn't busted, yet;
And last week old Dave Simpsons dog.
while sort of snoopin' round,
Barked up a hollow, rotten log, and
what d'you s'pose they found?
Ten thousand dollars worth of gold some
robber'd hid one day
OF course twas all Dawes wisdom made
his dog a on that way.
One time in church, when Dick Shaw's
May got up to sing a tune,
"A stranger that was there that day got
interested soon-
Just happened hat he'd stayed because
he'd missed his train. you know
But Mays not workin' like she was in
them days, long ago;
The stranger took 'er off somewhere and
trained 'er voice somehow,
And she's his wife and lives in style, and
sings in op'ry now.
No, there's no such a thing as luck to
help a person through;
It's wisdom and hard work and pluck
makes folks do what they do
I s'pose if I'd been born in some big
castle on a hill
They'd drove me out, for I'm so dumb,
and Ii be farmin' still.
S. E. kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald.

Reported Him Literally.

Fault was found with the way in
which the shorthand writer's report
ed the speeches in a legislative body.
They retaliated by giving the speech
of one of the members exactly as he
made it, with the following result:
"The reporters-ought not to-the
reporters ought not to be the ones
to judge of what is i1nportant-not
to say what should be left out-but-
the member can only Judge of what
is important. AS las my speeches
the reports-as what l say is
reported sometimes, no one-nobody
can understand from the reports
what it is-what I mean. SOFT
strikes met has struck me certain
matters-things that appear of inn
portance-are sometimes left out
omitted. The reporters-the papers
points are reported mean-to
make a brief statement-what the
paper thinks IF interests report
