The Pilot once had poet, the unrival-
ed Tom, who demanded the publication
of his illusions with such belligerent at
titude that he never met with refusal,
and it may also be said that faith was
never but once kept with him. Tom is
writing poetry out west now and while
other poets have wandered this way they
have not warbled through these columns.
But now from behind the bars comes
sweet poesy to nestle amid the prosaic
locals of The Pilot. "a rambling rake
of poverty" sailor, was stuck into iail
for over indulgence in the beer schooner
and for spilling little malapert blood
after the fashion of pugil4ts. He found
the Muses. behind the bars, courted them
and here's the issue:
THE JAIL AT MANITOwOC
| am a rambling sailor and l have roamed in
every cline
In merchant and in war ships I've spent nv
youthful prime,
Meath Asia's tropc sun I've watched the Hin
doc sport and play,
On the banks of the Gauges. where Nature
smiles so gay,
And in the Zulu jungles where the African
lions flock,
But past dangers were but trif1es compared TO
ManitowCc.
Twas on the 4th day of July, eighty-four, it was
the year,
To show my patriot feelings indulUea in tan
much beer,
Then big Bohemian a fight with me began.
" hen Knocked him to tie ground like true
- American,
The police came and took me into the justices
dock,
And tor ten days to Jail he sent me to the city
OF Mantowoc.
So they harnessed up a wagon and drove me to
the jail,
because had no money or friend to go nv bail,
1hough We served my country on n,any a for
eign shore,
A tritiing first offense they never can look DER
90 WIN lot OF lunatics behind strong bars and
I'm longing for my liberty, in the Jail at Mani
towoc.
But viii keep up my courage and Danish des-
pair,
For soon again I'll breathe Liberty's sweet air.
Ihen an the coming holidays, I'll greet them
And not be so patriotic with key of lager beer.
Neither will | to the ground some pugiist try
TO knock,
When leave The county jail in the city of Nam
itOwOc.
So good bye to the sheriff, John Bibinger is his
name,
hope that in the future he will gain lasting
fame,
For your kindness to these helpless one-Imean
the poor insane,
BE assured that up in heaven you are storing
heaps of gain,
Ana GOD Will some day pay you, where there
viii be no bar or lack
For the manly way you treat the men in the
jail at ManltOwOc. JAMES HANLEY.
