They were camped near a river, and in the river the boy found their battered bucket still kept afloat by the ice. That was the only trace he ever discovered of the old Frenchman...
...Dallas meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Bishop James Cannon Jr. confounded his critics and won his church's forgiveness by confessing and emotionally repenting his stock gambling with a Manhattan "bucket shop" since exterminated by the law (TIME, June 16 et ante).

She wanted him to marry her, thought she could maneuver him into it, almost got him to agree, made a scene when...
...bowed grey head, his haggard face. Feelings in the audience were mixed. There were those who resented the Bishop's political apostasy in the last presidential campaign (he a Democrat campaigned for Hoover, to defeat Smith, the Wet). There were those who despised him for "gambling" through a bucket shop, those who revered him for his skillful, devious, successful fight for Prohibition laws, those who admired him no matter what...
