Not far from Boston Is located the

Of Samuel Woodwork to the "Old Oak

concerning the famous old bucket

tied snatches of the familiar refrain,
how disconcerting 1t was to have the
charm broken by learning that the orig

The youngest daughter of Samuel
Woodwork, the author. who died in

old moss covered bucket that hung In

There Is no other water bucket In
the world so enshrined In homey. gen

In the front notch. The lever Is four
and one-half feet long. The ilustra

The lever ~ adjusted To the height OF

A short chain fastened to the sill Is
hooked to the staple or eye bolt In the
lever to hold it when desired.
Fig. 3 is about the same. but the at
tachment for holding the lever at any
point desired Is an improvement on the

with the exception Of the lever and the

Grants Graceful Act.

When General Grant was in Japan
the emperor invited him TO cross the
imperial footbrldge near the palace at
Tokyo, across which none but those Of
royal blood had ever passed General
Grant accepted the invitation and
walked beside the mikado until they
reached the center of the bridge. Then
he stopped, profoundly saluted the en-
peror and said: Your majesty. l have
come SO far to show you that | am not
insensible to the honor you would do
me, but cannot violate your tradi-
tons. Let us return the way we came
1t was a graceful act, gracefully done.
