Samuel Woodwork was born in the
old town of Scituate, Mass, 80 miles
from Boston, in the year 1889, and

It is said that the old mill looks very

barefooted boy, played round it. "The

slaked the thirst of the man whose
lines have made it the most famous
we'll in all America. Hundreds of
strangers visit the old well every year
and drink from the water that still
bubbles up from it's inexhaustible
springs. Some carry away with them
little bottles of the water to keep as
souvenirs.-Morris Marlowe, in Well

PLEASING PRESENCE.
Woman's Mind and BODY Should
Work in Harmony to Develop
Personal Grace.

How often we meet well7meanine
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, 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 drop of dew reflects
the grandeur of the heavens" so won.
an is expected to reflect all that is
beautiful in personality.
It does not require the addition of q
costly gown to be attractive. True,
grace of motion and manner will adorn
the plainest attire. Ones influence for
all that is high and noble is far greater
when presented by an attractive pic
ture of personal grace.
Women occupy no small space in the
great affairs of the world to-day, and
the individual must meet the condi.
tions of her time in 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 correet,
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 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 loYed,=NtY Weekly

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
Poem Suggested by HOMEGROWN
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. 1.-THE. Battle
Hymn of the Republic" was the re-
suit of sudden inspiration of Mrs.
Aowe'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
his lasting fame was to restnpon the
simple lines. The other writings of
Woodwork fill several large volumes,
and he has been eulogized as 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 "The Old Oaken Bucket"
There was at one time foolish
story afloat that Woodwork wrote
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 lad walked home to his dinner, he
drank glass of water as soon as he
had sat down to the table. Putting
down the empty glass, he said 70 his
wife: '"That is refreshing, but how
much more refreshing would it be to
take good, long draught this warm
day from the old oaken bucket left
hanging in my fathers we'll at home!"
Mrs. Woodwork replied: "Why,
Samuel, wouldn't that be good SUBJ
ject for poem?"
Woodwork reflected for a moment,
and then said: $50 it would. Unjust

output of the United States has risen
only so per cent, and is now nearly

The aggregate tonnage of launches
on the Clyde during the month of May
constituted record which has only
been twice before exceeded in the
whole history of Clyde shipbuilding.
TWenty-three steamers were launched,
OF a total of $4,000 tons; three large
sailing ships, totaling 5,676 tons; two
steam yachts, of total of 465 tons,
and six sailing yachts Of an aggregate
OF 135 tons. The shipbuilding indus
try on the Clyde is remarkably pros
porous at the present time, and not
withstanding the above abnormal out
put of new vessels the berths are filed
up with fresh orders amounting to
about $4,000 tons.
A perpetual cloud of SCOT, gradually
settling down, is known to overhane
every large manufacturing city. TO
determine the amount of this wasteful
dirt deposit in Manchester, England,
Mr.. ". Irwin weighed the solid matter
obtained from a sample of snow that
had been lying on the ground ten da Us,
and has found an equivalent of 1o7
pounds per acre or three tons
per square mile. AS the sam
pie represented the condition over at
least 100 square miles, the chimneys of
Manchester are convicted of throwing
out not less than 300 tons of sootin ten
days. Analysis showed $50 per cent
OF carbon, 60 of heavy oil and grease,
and 45.5 of ash, from which it appears
that each days 30 tons of SCOT is given
adhesiveness by about two tons of oily
matter.

COOPERATION PAYS.
Some Reason Why Farmers Who Pro-
duce Milk Should Always Work
Together.

Cooperation among butter makers
should be the thought of the hour.
There is no doubt that when we have
learned the lessons of cooperation we
shall make as good butter as the
Danes make and it will have as high
reputation as has the butter pro-
duced by the farmers of that enter
prising nation. In every country
where the dairy interests have as
sumed large proportions cooperation
has become the keynote of the stu
alton. By cooperation we enormous
ly increase the interest in dairying.
The more we educate the more we
cooperate. IN fact, communities can
cooperate only as they become edu-
Gated along certain lines. A COM
munity of educated farmers can
build a creamery together and oper-
ate it, for they have a general un-
Outstanding of what should be done.
Where cooperative movements have
failed it has been due to- the dense
| ignorance of those that believed they
could manage the enterprise. Thus,
a community of educated farmers
will never build a creamery where
there are too few cows to make sue
cess possible. Yet the agents of the
dairy supply houses have gone into
badly informed communities and sold
them thousands of dollars worth of
practically useless dairy machinery.
Dairy education in communities
makes such exploits impossible. Co.
operative creameries should exist in
great many communities where no
creameries of any kind exist to-day.
There are also many communities
that should sustain cooperative
creameries for the purpose of in
creasing the business of the COM
munity if for nothing else. A private
creamery must make money, but it is
not necessary for cooperative
creamery to make money. If they
make no profit at all, merely paying
expenses they have yet justified their
existence since they have made it
| possible to utilize the waste material
and waste labor.-Farmers' Review.

WHAT INSECTS COST.
Damage Caused by Our Pfsmy Pop
uhation Amounts to 100000
900 q Year.

The amount of the destruction done
annually in this country by insects of
various sorts is enormous. The
chinchbug caused loss of $50, 0O0, 900
in 1871, upward of 100000 900 in 1874,
and in 1887, $6O,0oo,o0o. The Rocky
Mountain locust, or grasshopper, in
1874 destroyed 100000, 900 of the crops
of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa. and the indirect loss, says DR.. H.
C. McCook, in Harper's Magazine, was
probably as much more.
For many years the cotton cater
pillar caused an annual average loss
in the southern states of $4,000 900,
while in 1868 and 1873 the loss reached
Sao,oo0,ooo. The fy-weevil, our most
destructive enemy to stored grains,
particularly throughout the south, in
ficts an annual loss on the whole coun-
try of $40,0OO,OO0. The codling moth,
the chief ravager of the apple and pear
crops, destroys every year fruit val
ued at $30,000,0O0 to $4,000, 900. The
damage to live stock inflicted by the
ob-dot, or ox-warble, amounts to $780,
100000.
These are fair examples of the
enormous money losses produced in
one country by few of the many
pigmy captains of pernicious industry
whose hosts operate in the granaries,
fields, stock farms and the stockyards
OF our country. What is the grand
total? Mr.. B. D. Walsh, one of the
best entomologists of his day, in 1867
estimated the total yearly loss to the
United States from insects to be from
$3oo,ooo,ooo to $4oo,0oo0oo. In 1890,
c. V. Riley, long chief of the division
OF entomology, estimated the loss at
$3oo,oOo,O00. DR.. James Fletcher in
1891 footed up the total to be about
one-tenth of our agricultural prod
ucts-$33o, 000,00O! In 1899 E. Dwight
Sanderson, after careful consideration
OF the whole field, put the annual loss
at 5000 900 900.
