The court seemed to agree with him
in this point, and the case was taken

continued indefinitely. This is, in eff

The suit brought by the city OF East

Hoesli, former police magistrate there,
who was accused of having retained
illegally fees which he had collected
while in office, seems to have about
fallen through on account of the con-
fused condition in which the court
found the ordinances of the little city.
Hoesli raised the contention that he
interpreted the law to mean that he
had the right to collect money as fines

Kerry Unvisited

Fair was the sky and calm the sea.
Aye, calmer than this bosom.
When first upon my vision broke
The skelligs. wild and grewsome.
As slow the rugged coast line rose
Above the sunlit ocean.
o! bitter the fight l waged
To still my hearts eommotion.
Scion of exiles. home again.
Each rock and tree and steeple
Encireled by my eager glass
Brought greetings from my people.
Ny kindly. shipmates little guessed
So gay L seemed and merry
What tears were bubbiing in my breast
For the holy hills of Kerry.
So all day long 1 kept the deck
And fed my soul with gazing
On cliffs and bays and over all
The hills their green crowns raising.
When through the dusk the ship sailed on
And found her English haven,
Al dawn, where the Bristol channel takes
The waters of the Avon,
To me the Saxon tyrants came,
But kindlier than the olden,
Ard loaded me with captive chains.
Though here those chains were golden,
And royal hospitality
Made every moment merry,
My heart was where my people lie
Among the hills of Kerry,
o. calm again were sea and sky.
The good ship homeward turning,
Bore with her one whose heart was sore
With unrequited yearning.
Again l watched the Kerry coast,
Behind our white wake falling;
ihe Sidhe were on those fading hills.
l know; l heard them calling.
Then rose the answering sea in wrath.
The sky grew gray above it,
The storm broke and the shuddering ship
Quaked in the clutches of it.
And like the ancient mariner,
Whose sin no seas could bury
knew what spirits shook our keel
The wild, wild Sidhe OF Kerryl
Laugh not to scorn this tale of mine
As some wild dreamer's notion;
l read rcproaeh in every thing
That tracked me DER the ocean.
The angry sea that snatehed at me.
The winds at night that jeered me,
The very gull that screamed o'erhead
And fed as though it feared me;
! was the plague upon the ship
That made her groan and shiver
Through toll of seven days and nights
To reach this peaceful river.
So now / swear: Ne more for me
The ocean-girdiing ferry;
No more for me. unless It be
To tread the hills of Kerry.

Dear Henry:
| have been very much Interested
in your friends (Mr. Nelson) arti-
cles in Worlds Work, and | have
wondered how l could make any of
his profit-sharing or other plans
work in this country.
Where the common labor is so ig-
norant. shiftless and improvident as
we find him, profit sharing seems en-
tirely out OF the question. While
this is country of cheap labor,
where there are multitudes of labor
ers, yet the labor problem under the
fundamental principles of the govern
ment and existing law is one that
has every employer thinking. We
are having very nearly the same
trouble that the south had in the
reconstruction days. when a mass of
illiterate, ignorant people. who al
ways had someone to look out for
them and direct them, were thrown
upon their own resources and given
the privilege of working for whom
they pleased, or not working at all.
just as they chose.
Under the Spanish regime a labor
er was free to go where he pleased
and to work for whom he pleased, so
long as he was out of debt. If he
owed his employer and ran away, an
application of the employer to the
constable brought him back, if found,
and probably gave him some kind OF
corporal punishment. The system
was very good under the conditions
existing here; but it was abused in
majority of cases.
In the first place, the great diff
Guilty in keeping the employe from
getting in debt too deeply. Usually
there is no limit to what he would
buy if credit were given him.
On the other hand, the employer
could make the wages so low and the
price of rice and other things so high
that the laborer, especially If he had
family, would have little or no
chance of ever getting out of debt
Not only would the laborer die in
debt. but the burden would be taken
up by his children, with the load aug
mented by the funeral expenses, the
masses, etc. 1t is not an unusual
thing for $50 or $50 to be spent in
masses for the deceased, and a child
working for 81 a month and charged
double price for clothes finds the road
a long one to freedom from debt
With centuries of this custom the
people have become Injured to this
sort Of thing and take it as a mat
ter of course. They do not look upon
it with the same horror that we do,
who have always enjoyed liberty. It
is their life Most of them know no
other
The natural improvidenCe of the
neople is like Moses hosts in the will
derness, where they got their food
from day today. Not one laborer in
ten ever has enough ahead to last
him the week out, and he draws up
