The Limitations of Morgan.

Swing your fleet into battle line,
Steam them to Sandy Hook,
Flying the flag of a YaMk combine
Despite of Gaze or cook,
But tremble, Pierp., in your Utmost hold.
For the brightest of floating gems
Remains unbought by yyur Haunted gold
The fleet of the sparkling Thames.
See where they ride, E-:tannia's pride,
BY the pier of the Ancient Swan,
Or each unto each in tl!';I quarters tied
For Wrapping to gaze 4rHn.
Oh, never was pace SO .2.jft as theirs
On the Hudson ever seen;
Never a funnel Of Bro4.:iyn wears
Their sweet, aesthetic Green,
Tween bridges they Sill shall snort and
dart,
Quaint, rheumaticy, C!G.
Ever the joy Of the empires heart.
Not to be ST.: T!:h SCld.
So, hey for :,::. gorgeous, plush saloon
And the s:..1.:,. zen their chimneys dip!
Hey for the l.LIle and loud bassOon,
And hey for the moonlight trip.
A pRan SOUNDS by the azure stream,
From Lime'us to Richmond Hill;
The great free fleet is the only theme
Of Thomas or Dick or Bill.
SO, buy your best from the world ahoat
Or Japhet's or Shem's or Hams,
But Londons barred; the citizens boat
Shall never be Uncle Sans.

KlPLING VERSES IN BASKET
Lady B~urne-Jones Fishes Them Out
end Imm~OrtaIises "Rag, Done
and Hank OF HAIR"

Copyright, 1909. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Feb. 22.-(New York World
Cablegram-special Telegram.)-It was
Lady Burne-Jones, the mother OF Sir
Philip Bume-Jones, the artist, who will
soon arrive in New York, who rescued
Kipling's poem "Recessionsl" from oblivion.
Kipling is her nephew. He had thrown
the verses into a wastebasket, whence she
fshed them out. and she finally, though not
without much difficulty, persuaded hin to
send them to the Times for publication.
Sir Philip Burne-Jones lives at Rotting-
dean with his mother, close to the Kiplings,
and the family is a singularly united one,
DESPITE the fact that Sir Philip does not
see eye-to-eye politically with his ultra
lmperialistic cousin.
Klpllng's verses, written for Sir Philips
striking picture, THE Vampire" Sir
Philip informed your correspondent, were
the result Of much labor and persistent
pursuit OF an idea that had long proved
quite elusive. Writing to him during that
time, Kipling says in a letter, now for
the first time published:
I've been sitting UP with my disorderly
muse o'nights trying to get the four lines
which should go with the picture. l could
do 1t In fifty, or, better still, in a hundred
lines, but this Is not Wnat we want. But
i don't despair, and anyhow, I'll do my
best to send you a few assorted samples
before hanging time, that you may see
how bad they are"
When It was finished and Sir, or, as he
was then, Mr.. Philip Burne-Jones, ex-
pressed his obligations for It, Kipling wrote
a delightful letter, presenting him with the
copyright.
The. verses for The Vampire" he
wrote, which we will call tho vampoetry,
are your property; they are yours from
now on, henceforward and hereafter. They
won't be handled in any way, directly or
Indirectly, by me, so II anyone wants to
dramatize them, ETC., let them set them to
music. paint them sky-blue. translate them
into Erse, Celtic or HittitS. use them for
= hair-dye advertisement or a Church of
England hymn. you must deal with that
man."
In concluding his ~cousinly note, the poet
throws out An idea for the artist in the
passage: "But have you ever thought of
the woman's view Of the gllded bully, who
has played the devil with her? Might
make a companion piccy." Unfortunately,
that companion PIGGY has remained UNI
painted so far.

were for long time OF disputed own
ership.
BY judicial decisions and by legisla
tive action in 1890 most OF these lands
were added to the Government and
Crown domains, a few, however. being
confirmed to private owners.
Early Land Policy Of the Government.
Immediately after the division OF
lS4S. OF which results have Just been
given. the Government proceeded to
sell much of its land at private sale
and at the low rates Of from IL cents
TO 81 per acre. The lands thus sold
were selected and surveyed at the op,
ton of the purchaser. and many thou,
sand acres OF the cream" of Govern.
ment lands were thus disposed Of.
This method, though perhaps a ne,
cessity of the time had serious disad
yantages. not the least OF which was
the leaving of numerous scattered
remnants of Government land, being
the unstable and undesirable portions
at that time.
Under this system of private sale
probably 100000 acres were disposed
Of. these sales being largely to ma
tiyes.
The first act requiring sales to be
made at public auction was enacted
in September, 1876, applying to sales
of lands or leases over $500 in value
By an act OF the provisional govern
ment in 1898. all such sales and leases
OF whatever value, were required Il
be made at public auction after THIRTY
days public notice.
Homestead Laws, 1884 to 1895,
The first homestead act to facilitate
requirement of small holdings was en-
acted in 1884. and amended In minO
particulars in 1883. 1890 and 1892.
This act and amendments, which re
NAMED in force until passage of tn
land act of 1895, gave opportunity 70

lowing ten years for payment of pm

ties are based what is best described
as "feudal system" existed. under
which the King had certain recognlz.
ed rights in all the lands of his people.
The high chiefs in their turn, and
inferior chiefs following them, had
their special rights in the lands Of
their own subordinates. and so on
down to the lowest class of tenants.
These rights, however, pertained
principally to rent share OF produc.
ton, or ordinary labor, rather than to
military service.
II is only necessary to note that un-
der this system the districts OF the isl.
ands, the lands, and subdivisions were
wen understood and defined, although
such subdivision was unique and bas.
ed on no mathematical system. being

miles long; another, starting at the
shore with small width, run as a mar.

another have its main portion on one
side of an island, and a disconnected
portion on the other side: run from
the sea and terminate at the mountain
top or run over the mountain top to
the sea on the other side.
Every irregularity of form was rep
resented in these old divisions. result
