their labor Reinhardt complained that
the agency had imposed upon the men in
taking their money under such represe nta-
ton.
Mr. Hummell was interview and stated
that he had understood the reason that
the men had been discharged had been on
account of the inability of Parneich to
fulfill the contract with any profit. The
men were paid al the rate of 50 cents day
by Mr.. Post and the contractor had agreed
to pay them the balance. So far as his
agency was concerned, Mr.. Hummell said
that he would try to secure new places for
ployment on account Of the cessation of
the work at Cucamonga and would not
charge them any fee additional to what
they had paid originally to secure the
places in Posts vineyard. Four or five
of the men have already been given new

REGRETS THAT he WAS A POET
John Hay Is Sorry He Wrote "Pike
Country Ballads'

John Hay, the ambassador to Great Brit
ain, who will shortly become secretary of
state, has always been better known as
poet than as diplomat Yet he secretly
| wishes he had never penned Jim Bludsoe"
or Little Breeches'-poems that have CIV
en- him place among American literary
men. He bushes yet when he is introduced
as the author of Little Brooches"
He would rather be known as the private
secretary to Abraham Lincoln during the
dark days of the late civil war. Surround
ed as he was by spies in Washington and by
cabals in his own cabinet, the martyred
president used to say that there were two
men he could absolutely trust-"every drop
of blood In their veins Is mine" he used to
say-John Hay and John G. Nicolay, his
two youthful private secretaries.
Mr.. Hay is rich. He made such a pretty
penny with his poems and with the life
of Abraham Lincoln which he wrote with
Mr. Nicolay. and he has found himself
millionaire by the death Of his father-n-
law, Amasa Stone. Mr.. Stone was great
friend of Lincoln, in a quiet way and it
was at the White House that Mr. Hay met
the young woman who afterward became
his wife.
Mr.. Hay cut quite a figure at Windsor
last year by appearing in knee breaches
and silk stockings. This was when he
| officially represented the United States as
ambassador.
! Mr. Hays home In Washington-the one
he will return to-has always been bibli-
| ophile's delight. Editions de luxe in every
room are its GROWING glory. The library
| is believed to be the handsomest in Wash
ington. 1t is in his superb mansion. which
is just opposite the White House. IT is
lined with old oak and set with electric
disks that give It the soft glow Of fairy
| land. There Mr.. Hay wrote the work on
which his chief claim to literary fame rests
the Life of Abraham IAncoln."
John Hay has always worked methodi-
cally. He rises at s. enters his library at 9,
and works there steadily TIL noon. The
afternoons go for diplomatic matters: the
evenings for society.

further that the wife sat In the kitchen
with the boarder and held long social chats

court why she did not acquiesce in the
