The orchard, the meadow, tho deep tangled wildowood, And ev'ry loved, spot which my Infancy know ; The wide-sjireading pond, and the mill that stood by it, The bridge and tho rock where tho cataract cat-aract foil; The cot of my father, tho dairyhouse nigh it. And e'en the rude bucket that hung in tho well. Chorus - The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket, The moss-covored bucket, that hung In tho well. Tho moss-covered bucket I hailed as a treasure, For often at noon, when returned from the field, I found It the source of an exquisite pleasure; The purest and sweetest that nature can yield. How ardent I seized ft, with hands that were glowing. And quick to the whlte-pobbiod bottom it fell, Then soon, with the emblem of truth oversowing-, And dripping wiili coolness. It rose from the well. The old on ken bucket, the Iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket, arose from the well. How street from the green, mossy brim to receive it, As, poised on the curb, il Incl incd to my Hps! Not a i ull-hlushing gohK:t could tempt me i o leave it, Tho' filled with the nectar that Jupiu-r sips. And now, far removed from the loved habitation, The tear of regret will intrusively . swell, As fancy reverts to my father's plan-tat plan-tat Ion, And sighs for the bucket that hung ln the well. i The old oaken bucket, the Iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket, which hangs ln the well. Dear Miss Brooks: This is the first time I have written, and hope I am welcome. Would you please answer a few questions for me? (1) What Is Mae Murray and Wm. S. Hart's address? (2) Tell me some proper ways to treat a girl. PESTERN from Utah. I welcome you. (1) Win. S. Hart's address is Wm. S. Hart Co., Bates and Ellis Sts.. Hollywood. Calif, and Mae Murray, Metro Studios, Hollywood, Calif. (2) The proper way to treat a l:i Is to treat her properly. That is, treat her as you would like to have another an-other young man treat your very own sister. Do not seek the society or friendship of a girl for whom you have not the greatest respect, and then show her the consideration and respect due ":er. A girl who does not appreciate uich treatment la not worthy of your attention. Show her every Htt'e attention atten-tion and courtesy which increases her pleasure, comfort or entertainment. When it is all summed up it means, be a gentleman at nil times and in all places. The friendship of a sweet, refined re-fined girl Is a wonderful thing, and such a girl has every right to expect only tho most courtoous and gentlemanly attention.
