positions of goycrncss, housekeeper and
Iaborcr on the farm, were regarded as

In this country no such distinction u
maintained. and the only question Is

on what terms and for whit length OF
time The law places contracts for
labor on the snmo footing ~ other con-
tracts; the employed must perform biz
part of the contract according 10 tho

ices, whether for d month, n year. or
nm indefinite time, Is subject to the
right Of tho employer 10 discharge tho
employe II sufficient cause exists for 80

cause will prevent recovery of tho
future salary, and In England the en-
ployo forfeiis the salary which he has
already earned. II Is not 80 In this
country. Here hc may recover tho
value Of his services already rendered.

conduct sufficient to justify discharge.
Some cases hold there must be on tho
part Of the servant either moral mis-
mi Acknowledgement or babituni neglect.
Whether servant was rightfnlly dis
charged depends upon the nature II his
