which but serve to mark the cold selfish
ness of the world. that emphasizes itself
in the poverty stricken evening OF the in
ventor. And yet among such rubbish -
have been found, too late TO benetit the
starved genius of its conception, some OF
the greatest inventions that have blessed
mankind.
America enjoys the repute of producing
greater percentage of practical inventors
than any other nation, and the patent
laws of the United States are often cited
as Nations pride. 1t is questionable,
however. ii the system is perfect one.
Some proper protection should undoubt-
edly be given to the inventor, but whether
or not this class of genius is best con-
served and its reward best secured by
the existing system is question. II
would appear that present codes OF patent
law may, by skillful Interpretation, be
distorted into means whereb by great cap
ital may ally itself with legal shrewdness
to exact tribute from the masses tor the
use of almost every piece of mechanism
known to man. Colossal fortunes are
thus aggregated, enormous revenues are
reaped. but in the distribution OF the
golden harvest the poor inventor Is 100
frequently only cleaner.
The birth of an inventive idea is often
only the beginning of trouble. 10 clothe
the creation in presentable raiment re-
ouires large expenditure of money. Not
one in a hundred thousand inventions
finds its acceptance by the users In ex-
actlv the original form. 1t must be
adapted to the demands and requirements
of the times. Very rarely are found the
inventive faculty and business ability
domiciled in the same person. As rule
the natural inventor is the worst business
man possible. If it happens that the un-
businesslike inventor falls in with the
really honest business man who recog-
nizes the fact that the inventor is the
creator" of the fortune, without whose
genius the harvest were impossible, then
it is we'll; but experience records sadder
history. If the impecunious genius ap-
proaches the moneyed man for aid in the
development of his invention he is too
often met with the demand that for the
paltry sum required he shall convey to
the promoter the great bulk of the right
to enjoy the value of the discovery, and Sc
the fruit of his toll enriches all but its
producer.
If some arrangement could be made
whereby public aid might, under proper
regulations. be judiciousiy extended to
needy inventors in cases where the germ
of the invention promised to be practical,
the aid SO given to be repaid in making
the perfected machine available to public
use without the exaction of extravagant
royalties, the world would assuredly be-
come richer in many desirable things, in
vention would be STIMULATED and this
without unjust taxation. The opportu-
nifty for gigantic aggregation of wealth to
control the necessary machines of trade
and industry would not obtain, but both
the inventor and the public would share
the benefits.

Soon 1t got to Jerry Ryan,
Then 0'Brien,
Who at once told Pat McGlory
All the story,
With additions
And revisions
Till the tale
Grew in volume from tadpole to whale
Then the news
Flew around to Ned McHughes;
Then the Nolans
And the Dolans
And the Murphys
Took their turns
AT the story-so did Burns;
Then McGrane
Got the matter to his brain;
Soon the Fiynns
And McGlynns
And the cobber, McElroy,
Heard the yarn and howled with Joy:

When day had taken flight
And the night
Had gloomed the wintry street,
Bold O'Connor on his beat
Saw beneath the geam
OF the corner lamps stream
A countless, noseless throng,
Fitting specter-llke along,
In and out across the ray
And then fading quite away.

From his view.
Then each particular hair
OF O'Connor rose in air.
In his face
He jammed his whistle, but no note
From its throat
Broke the silence Of the place.
He tried TO yell
But spell
Buckled down upon his soul.
Black disaster seemed TO roll
Near and near.
He heard the banshee wall
On the bleak December gale,
And saw the hosts
OF pallid squad of ghosts
Appear and disappear
Callahan behind the bar
Saw his front door spring ajar,
And Dan
Floating in with Donovan.
Then came Ryan
And O'Brien,
Then McGory,
Who had caught the whispered story.
Then McHughes
Whose
Tongue had swelled the tale
From o tadpole to whale.
Then the Nolans
Ind the Doans.
The Murphys and then Burns,
Who In turns
Had filed the lad McGrane

And he Kel ys. Kennys. Carays,
All the Sal aghers and Gearvs,
And the hundreds of the others,
With their cousins and their brothers,
To man
Drined down on Callahan.
Through the gloom
Fed the old year 10 its doom,
Bearing human hopes and fears,
Hours of sadness, hours OF tears
Tears in bitter sorrow wep,
Hours of promises unSept;
Hours of aughter. hours of song,
Hours OF crying, hours of wrong,
Speeding on VITA flying feet,
BY the splendid palace door,
BY the hovel of the poor,
BY O'Connor on his beat.
