THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET
How dear to this heart are the scenes
of my childhood.
When fond recollection presents them
to view.
The orchard, the meadow. the deep
tangled wildwood.
And ev'ry loved spot which my infancy
knew;
The wide-spreadinE pond, and the mill
that stood by 1t.
Tho bridge and the rock where the cat
aract fell;
Tho cot of my father. the dairyhouse
nigh 1t,
And cen the rude bucket that hung In
the we'll.
Tho old oaken bucket, tho bound
bucket.
The covered bucket that hung in
the well.
The moss-covsred bucket hailed as a
the field,
I found 1t the source OF an exquisite
pleasure,
The purest and sweetest that nature
can yield.
How ardent l seized it. with hands that
were glowing.
And quick to the white-pebbled bottom
1t fell.
Then soon. with the emblem OF truth
OVERLOOKING.
And dripping with GOODNESS. 1t rose from
the well.
The old oaken bucket. the iron-bound |
bucket,
The moss-covered bucket, arose from
tho well.
How sweet from the green. messy brim
to receive 1t,
As. poised on the curb. II inclined to
my lips.
Not a full-blushing goblet could tempt |
me to leave 1t.
Tho filled with the nectar that Jupiter
sips.

WARE ON 'JlNERS'
Ed, Howe Relates Story Of Com
 missioner Of Pensions

Eugene Ware of Kansas was an unusual man. He was not only noted lawyer, but Theodore Roose- welt appointed him commissioner of pensions. In spite of this practical training, he had fancies, and wrote several poems which have had world wide circulation. A young man once asked him about the advisability of joining a college fraternity, and MT Ware wrote a very good essay on timers" generally.
 He said: From Is to 60 a man is importuned all along the route to be- long to fraternities. There are great many more of them outside of the college than inside, and the pres sure to join them is equally strong. Most of them are positive detriments. None of them give the benefits prom ised, and a few are simply endura- ble All through life we have to make our choice on fraternities. Some of them we must join whether We want to or not, but ninety-nine of them in a hundred are good thing to keep out of. The difficulty about fraternities is that they permit too little ruggedness of character; per init too much reliance upon others and obliterate personal responsibility too greatly. They produce clannish- ness and littleness. They practically efface broad gaugeness of character
  l have Joined many of them, but l never joined one but what l left it mighty soon because I found out that 1t was not what l wanted, and did not do what thought it did.
 "A person who cannot succeed without joining a herd ought to or ganize his own herd. That is what many do. If you organize the frater- nifty and run 1t yourself that Is all right, but to pay an admission fee to get into a crowd of other peoples subordinates isn't business. In my younger days there was young man who got impressed with the idea that nobody ever amounted to anything unless he became a Mason. The idea took such @ hold of him that he be- came somewhat prominent Mason, and his whole life expended itself upon 1t. My advice to a young man is to learn to pitch in and fight his battles single handed. This advice doesn't cost much, but my observa- tion is the single handed fellows are the ones that get there. Sheep and goats run in droves, but lions and tigers do not."-Ed. Howe's Monthly

TRANSFERS HEADS
Professors Experiment A Success AS 10th Insects Live

Experiments in transferring heads from one living body to another may lead to the creation of two new sexes, according to pr. R. w. Wood of the Johns Hopkins university. pr. Wood, who returned the other day from three months abroad. described experiments at the annual meeting of the Royal Society in London.
 Perpetual preservation of the liv- ing brain of geniuses is possible, pr. Wood said, if the operation of head transference can be performed on human beings.
 At the meeting of the society Dr. Wood saw the head of a male beetle transferred to the body of female beetle. while the females head was transplanted on the body of the de- capitated male. Both beetles recoV- cred from the operation and showed a complete reversal of form, the head apparently determining the sex habits and characteristics.
 If this transmission of sex char acteristics by the exchange of heads could be applied to the human race, | pr. Wood said, the possibilities would be startling. The head of a noted scientist, about to die, could be grafted to the body of laborer or convict who was about to be exc cuted. In this way. the brain of the genius never would be lost to man. kind"
 Another interesting experiment was made with beetles. Dr. Wood said. The head of a water beetle was grafted to the body of a bone dry beetle. When placed in water for the first time. the beetle began to swim Justify and also made ex- periments in diving.-Baltimore Sun.
