suddenly they saw it dash down into
a pool of water close by them on the
beach and reappear, holding an enor-

old lobster, with huge claw white
with barnacles, but the eagle had 1t
clutched firmly around the back, and

the store, Faylng Off labor in Nicaragua Is
much like taking dollar from one pocket and
putting it into another That's all right, so
far as it goes, but when the laborer-generally
an Indian or a Jamaican-thinks he has too
much to do he quits. He live without
work. and works merely to please his foreman
The foreman who can get the good will of the
Indian is the valuable man. The superin
tendent of coffee plantation has been trying
to get 800 men to work for the last two years.
At one time he had 130-and he is a man the
natives like, too.
The manager of a big banana plantation Is
having the same trouble. month or two is
frequently spent getting half hundred men
together. Indians stay close to their villages
and the hope of the planter is the building
of these conglomerations of huts. Give the
workers a bamboo covered shed in which to
live, build them church Of the same ma
teriaI and secure for them a preacher, even
though their morals seem lax, and the natives
will probably spend their lives on the planta-
tion-working when they feel so inclined. Now
and then they want to wander away and get
all the bad whisky they buy, but they
return in time to again take up the machete.
Good treatment appears to be the only secret
if there be any secret of getting labor in
Nicaragua.

etched dreadfully. It Just seemed az

would amount to anything. But It kept
getting worse. One day saw piece
