Gregory Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York ng World) 66 heart, of mother's love and the childhood days that can never come again—do you know how it came to be written? Scituate, Mass., one hundred and thirty-three years ago, Jan. 13, 1785. Parly in life young Woodworth developed a strong leaning toward Office of the local paper. After serving his time in Scliuate he was made editor of a paper in Ho remained in New Haven for a couple of years, when he went to New York, where for a time he eked out a miserable existence by doing In the mean time the war clouds began to gather and we soon found ourselves in the midst of our second fight with'Great Britain, the “War “The Old Oake et” : aken Bucket HE OLD OAKEN BUCKET!” that immortal song of home and the Samuel Woodworth, the author of the imperishable song, was born tn Newspaperdom, and when about fourteen became an apprentice in the New Haven, Conn. such literary hack work as chanced to come his way of i$ Woodworth’s patriotism was rock-ribbed, and from the beginning to the end of the struggle he appears to have done excellent work as editor of @ weekiy journal called the War, a publication that lived till the signing of the Treaty of Ghent and the recognition of the rights for which | his country had fought. The animus of the paper that was so faithfully edited by Woodworth may be gathered from a verse of one of his pocms published therein for the encouragement of his countrymen and the edification of his country’s enenfles, Here is the verse, which {s all right as sentiment if not as poetry: “Better not invade, recollect the spirit Which our dads 4 yed and thelr sons Inherit. If you still advance, friendly caution slighting, You may by chance get all’ you want of fighting. Pickaxe, shovel, spade, crowbar, hoe and barrow; Better not invade, Yankees have the marrow.” Upon the return of peace Woodworth beoame editor of a magazine known as the Haleyou Luminary. did not shine very long, and Woodworth next appears as editor of the Parthenon. How long the Parthenon lasted we do not know, but ft is certain that its existence was brief as compared with that of the Parthenon of the Greeks. It seems that about everything that Woodworth tock hold of flashed in the pan, He was in that respect like John Howard Payne, the author of “Home, Sweet Home,” and, as was the case with Payne, his name would have gone down into eternal oblivion but for just one song that came to him in a moment of inspiration. That song, defying nationality and language, latitude and longitude, and all creeds political, religious and economic, was destined to capture the whole world and hold its heart to the end of time. It was in 1817 that Woodworth wrote “The Old Oaken Bucket,” and its composition came about in the following way: Meeting an old friend one day in a barroom and taking a drink with him, Woodworth praised the excellent character of the beverage, whereupon his friend, setting hls empty glass upon the counter and looking his companton squdtely in the eyes, said, “No, Sam, this stuff doesn’t compare for a moment with the clear, sparkling water we used to drink when boys from the old oaken bucket that hung in the well.” Not another word was sald. The two shook hands and parted. Going to hig room Woodworth seized pen and paper and began to write, and inside of forty minutes had composed the song which was never to die.
