Charles Lindgren, a sealer of freight

Ind., says:"l have greater faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills to-day than I had
in the fall of 1897, when I began taking
them and made a public statement of
the result. At that time I had suf
fered with lameness and soreness of
the back, which was so excruciating
that I could scarcely turn in bed, and
Doan's Kidney Pills completely cured
this trouble. I am al\va3"s ready to
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills person

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
Subject of Woudnorlli'a Famous
I'of m Soicgestett by Mo»-Uronn
Well on 111* Father's Farm.
Many of the most popular songs
and poems have not been the result of
labored and thoughtful effort, but of
some sudden impulse. "Tlie Battle
Hymn of the Republic" was the re
sult 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 VVoodworth did not think
very much of"The Old Oaken Bucket"
when he wrote the poem of that title
in the summer of 1817, and it would
have grieved him had he known that
his lasting fame was to rest upon the
simple lines. The other writings of
VVoodworth fill several large volumes,
and he has been eulogized as a poet by
such men as Webster, Irving, Chan
ning 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 a foolish
etory afloat that Woodworth 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
Tery warm day in midsummer, when
he had walked home to his dinner, he
drank a glass of water as soon as he
had sat down to the table. Putting
down the emptj' 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 I left
banging in my father's well at home!"
Mrs. Woodworth replied: "Why,
Samuel, wouldn't that be a good sub
ject for a poem?"
Woodworth reflected for a moment,
end then said: "So it would. 1 must

(It Hung by the Well in Massachusetts
Here Pictured.)
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 Woodworth was born in the
old town of Scituate, Mass., 30 miles
from Boston, in the year 1789, and
the old well that suggested the fa
mous poem was on his father's farm.
This well may be seen to-day just as
it was when the poet ift 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."
It is said that the old mill looks very
much as it did when VVoodworth, as a
barefooted boy, played round it."The
cot of his. fathers*" is no longer stand
ing. It has given place to a some
what modern house, whose inhabitants
drink water from 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 year
and drink from the water that still
bubbles up from its inexhaustible
springs. Some carry away with them
little bottles of the water to keep as
souvenirs.—Morris Marlowe, in Well
spring.
Ornament* for (he Neck.
Neck ornaments are particularly
pretty. The flat plaited white and
colored mousseline boas more resem
ble shoulder fichus, being invariably
bordered with mousseline roses or
velvet rose leaves applique at the
edge of the mousseline kilting. Ends
of black ribbon velvet or strands of
jet beads finish the fronts. Others
of tulle, forming ruches turning
down from the hair, are embellished
by long pompadour silk stole ends
trimmed with large steel buttons.
Effective et-ceteras are always an im
portant item on a Parisian toilet, and
some of the latest cravats and boas
are particularly attractive this sea
son. Spotted kilted white mousseline
trimmed with lace, pompadour rib
bon latticed on net, colored bebe rib

in front of neckbands and embroid

are among the most popular acces

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1902.
DUCHESS OF ARGYLL.
Prince** l.ontae, Kln« F.dnard'a Fa
vorite Sinter. Ileeply Intereated
In Philanthropy.
King Edward's favorite sister, Lou
ise, duchess of Argyll, has come to the
front lately with her characteristic in
terest in philanthropy. The Interna
tional congress for the welfare and
protection of children, held in London
in July, and in which delegates from
the United States have taken so prom
inent a part, enlisted the cordial sup
port of Princess Louise, and, through
her, of the king. When the princess
wrote to the committee, who were ar
ranging the congress, that she would
be its patron, she delighted its pro
moters by expressing also her royal
brother's willingness to allow his
■■
LOUISE. DUCHESS OF ARGYLL.
name to be used with hers, as sponsor
for the gathering. Its prestige has
therefore been great.
Princess Louise acts with her broth
er frequently. The two are close
friends, and the king is said to like
particularly this sister's unostenta
tious life and bearing. So fond of be
ing a private person is Princess Louise
that for 15 years she had not given
her photograph to be published.
Princess Louise is perfectly at home
with people who are devoting them
selves to helping little children, which
is all the more notable from the fact
that she has none of her own. Hos
pitals for youngsters are her hobby.
It must be admitted, however, that
she is a lady of many hobbies, for she
is an artist, both sculptor and illus
trator, an omnivorous reader, fre
quently a traveler incognito, a curio
collector, a bargain hunter, is deft
with her needle and can cook. Queen
Victoria's journal contains numerous
references to the versatility of her
daughter Louise and the English cer
tainly recognize in her the handsomest
as well as the cleverest of"the late
queen's girls."
Princess Louise learned with pleas
ure of the progress made in the oral
system for teaching deaf children in
America, as compared with the sign
method. She considers the oral meth
od a remarkable development and
hopes for its further adoption in Eng
land. Miss Garrett, of Philadelphia,
has been in attendance on the congress
with several of the deaf children from
her oral school, giving practical dem
onstrations of the oral system.
PLEASING PRESENCE.
Woman'* 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
gainly 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 djti. "As a drop of dew reflects
the grandeur of the heavens," so wom
an is expected to renect all that is
beautiful in personality.
It does not require the addition of a
costly gown to be attractive. True,
grace of motion and manner will adorn
the plainest attire. One's 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 t.paee 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 eorrect-
I 3' poised and properly controlled.
Feed the mind with beautiful thoughts
and good literature, study the laws
of health and beauty, and note the re
sults. 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 impres
sion for good, and fair to look upon;
gj-aee of mind with grace of body
making the perfect woman, who is sure
to be loved.—N. Y. Weekly.
I.atettt Thing; In Jewelry,
The latest idea of the jeweler is the
betrothal basket. The basket is a
small, graceful affair with a tall, curv
ing handle of woven gold wire. The
whole is not more than an inch and a
half high. As for the flowers in the
basket a tiny stone serves for a bud.
The flowers have four and five petals
with stones of the regulation cutting.
Rubies make theprett iest flowers, while
emeralds are used to the best advan
tage for foliage. The baskets are used
as betrothal gifts in Italy. The jew
eler is at tempting to introduce tliecus
to.m in this country. The baskets are
attached to neck chains.
WHAT INSECTS COST.
Dimate ( nnird bj Oar Plumy Pop
ulation Amount* to f:tOO,lKIO,-
000 a Vrar,
The amount of the destruction done
annually in this country by insects of
various sorts 1 is enormous. The
chinchbiifr caused a loss of $30,000,000
in 1871, upward of $100,000,000 in 1874,
and in 1887, $00,000,000. The Rocky
Mountain locust, or grasshopper, in
1874 destroyed $100,000,000 of the crops
of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
lowa, and the indirect loss, says Dr. 11.
C. McCook, in Harper's Magazine, wai
probably as much more.
For many years the cotton cater
pillar caused an annual average loss
in the southern states of $15,000,000,
while in 1868 and 1873 the loss reached
$30,000,000. The fly-weevil, our most
destructive enemy to stored grains,
particularly throughout the south, in
flicts an annual loss on the whole coun
try of $10,000,000. The codling moth,
the chief ravager of the apple and pear
crops, destroys every year fruit val
ued at $30,000,000 to $40,000,000. The
damage to live stock inflicted by the
ob-dot, or ox-warble, amounts to $36,-
000.000.
These are fair examples of the
enormous money losses produced in
one country by a 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. ll.* 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
$300,000,000 to $400,000,000. In 1890,
C. V. Riley, long chief of division
of entomology, estimated the loss at
$300,000,000. Dr. James Fletcher in
1891 footed up the total to be about
one-tenth of our agricultural prod
ucts— $330,000,000! In 1899 E. Uwight
Sanderson, after careful consideration
of (he whole field, put the annual loss
at $309,000,000.

Do not change the feed suddenly.
Clean and thoroughly air stable be
fore milking.
Never mix fresh warm milk with
that which has been cooled.
Do not allow dogs, cats or loafers
to be around at milking time.
AIJ persons who milk the cows should
have the finger nails cut closely.
Do not move cows faster than a com
fortablCwalk while on the way to place
of milking or feeding.
If cover is left off the can a piece of
cloth or mosquito netting should be
used to keep out insects.
Observe and enforce the uttermost
cleanliness about the cattle, their at
tendants, the stable, the dairy and all
utensils.—G. 11. Sannnis, in Epitomist.
Hint for American Farme-rx.
The sugar beet growers of Ger
many, realizing that they must get
out of their crop all that is possible
and that this only can be clone by
making use of the bi-pro<lucts of the
crop, have, through the National As
sociation of licet Culturists and
SugAr Manufacturers, offered a prize
of $2,380 for the best process for
drying beet, leaves and the trimmings
of the beet, taken off before it. is

that the profits in their business, as
in all others, are largely made from
the waste or bi-products.

PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
PRAISES PE'RU-NA.
First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga., and Its Pastor and Elder.
THE day was when men of promi
nence hesitated to give their testi
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to
day of most proprietary medicines.
But Peruna has become so justly fam
ous, its merits are known to so many
people of high and lpw stations, that
no one hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby
terian church of Grecnsboro,Ga., writes;
" Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
" My little boy seven years of ape had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other reme
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady I consider it well nigh a specific.
