4 RUINED HUMES IN IRELAND Cmaha Vii.tor Skstehei a Teens rceitio LeiolaVon. of Co H.ARTLESS GREED OF ALIEN LANDLORDS Evletloas Brromlgg Fewer People car Till to U4-Uaa f Brighter Dan for Kaaerata Far across tha deep broad Atlantlo there la a little land of aunshlne and cloud, of everlasting green bills, romantlo vales 'and Ivy-covered ruins. The brush of tha artlat has attempted to give us the wonderful colorings of those Irish hills with the cloud ehadows and the sunbeams playing upon them; or the weird picture of those ruined abbeys and round towers standing out In the moonlight like acme etrsnga warning spectres. The wonderful beauty of Ire land's lonely lakes. Its rugged mountains and storm-tossed coasts has found a place on the canvaa of many a painter. But I saw a picture In Ireland lately that no artist has yet put down In colore. It was a pathetic picture of homeless sor row an old Irish mother wandering around tha ruins of her evicted and deserted home. Such sights were not uncommon In Ire land a few years ago, and even yet are not unfrequent. The green hills and lovely valleys of Erin are studded with tha ruins and wreckage of eviction days. Around these aad acenea of former home and famlry evicted and aged men and women have been 'found wandering until death took them to a better home. Attachments of florae. No place la so dear to every mother's heart as home. No word can atlr up the tendarest emotions of the child's heart as that one word, nor send the tear-drops mora quickly to the eye than that one word home. It recalls the noblest and weotest memories of a lifetime. It la tha refreshing well-spring of endless longings w. jn deep seas separate us from' home, or worse sllll when home ' has faded Into a dim picture of the past. It Is the grandest word we can cling to. The sight of a homeless follow creature or of a deserted heme is sufficient to enkindle within u the most active and generous of sympa thies. With auch thoughts let ma present a pict ure of a frail white-haired old woman gas Ing upon the scenes of happier days. How shall I describe this picture? Will human words tell of her broken heart or pen picture the memories of a once happy home which constantly float before her? Such grief la beyond human narration. I can only tell of her white ha Ira, wrinkled cheeks and tear-dlmmed eyes as she pointed out to me what was once her home. Picture of Rained Homes. The ruins were situated in one of the wildest and most beautiful valleys In Ire land, surrounded by soft green fields and heuther-covered hills. In this bright green spot stood the skeleton walls of a once peaceful home. The winter's rain now poured through the open roof, while the winds moaned through the aashless win dows; and the walls, blackened with amoke, were tottering for their final fall. The door, broken and battered, lay ajnr, but from within no sound of human voice responded; only the moaning; wind and the steady drop of damp moisture fell upon our ears. The chimney, as If In. mockery, held Its moUth to the skies, but no rings of smoke ascended upwards, telling of warmth and comfort within. In tha garden, over grown with long, gaunt weeds, an empty kennel told where a faithful pet kept watch, but now strangers puened through tht open gta and no warning bark broke the stillness of tba place. Desolation reigned supreme In this deserted farm, where once the sounds ef childish laughter a and the little ones lisped their first prayer. Often within Its walla tha merry hearted song and dance of tba farmer's boy was heard, but now all Is silent and deserted aa tha grave. What awful calam ity caused suoh ruin In tha midst of peace and happiness T Was It famine or tha rav ages of soma draad disease which bad ruth lessly dispersed a whole family? Had firs blackened tha walla or storm battered tha doors of thla oottag aad left only a pile of rulnsf It was netthar tragedy nor fam ine nor disease, but tha hand of merciless maa. In tba person of an Irish landlord. It is a true picture of wrong and Injustice. Tt Is an old story la that beautiful land of sunshine and poetry, "of deserted homes, of broken hearts and homeless poor." Dtes af Batter Pays. But tha dawn of brighter daya has eoma for Ireland. Evictions are fewer and tha people gradually becoming tha owners of tha land. Tat It Is sad to think that no new measure can bring back ths remnants of an evicted people, scattered over the wide globe, nor rebuild tha blackened ruins of ones happy homes that meet the eye throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. Neither can new land laws i call the spirits of the brave men and women who famished, hungered and died In tha ditches, while they gated upon their home steads biasing upwards to tha skies. This sad picture recalls the pathetic words of ths poet Campbell In his famous poem, "Ths Exile of Erin": "Bad Is my fata," said the broken-hearted at ranger; "The wild deer and wolf to some covert pin fle; But I hnve no refuge from famine and danrer: A home and a country remain not for me; Never again in those green sunny bowers Where my forefathers lived, shall I spend the iwMt hours. Or cover my harp with the wild woven nowera. Though Ireland's sons and daughters may not return to reap the blessings of better times, nevertheless they look back with hungering desire to the old land across the I western ocean and say. In the words of a fellow-exile: "Many obstacles may Be thrown In our way In foreign lands, and wa may have forgotten many things In our struggle for existence, but some things w never forget, among them the landof our birth and the home of our ever-faithful Irish mother. We may wander on the banks of unknown rivers, hang our harps on the willow trees and forget the songs of our native land, but there still burns In the heart of the Gael a love for home and country that time or distance can never extinguish."

The Juvenile authorities scoured the city several hours for trace of tha missing child. Shs was finally lo cated at the home of Mrs. Harvey's uncle on South Twenty-ninth street. The three men who accomplished the feat of taking the child from the very right of Its mother and her attorney are Taylor Harvey of Leavenworth, Its father; Robert Davis, a street car man, uncle of Mrs. Harvey, and Chester Hasen, Davis' brother-In-Uw. After the exciting Incident Davis went to the court house with Superintendent Ellison of the Humane society and made a very frank statement of his part In It. He said Harvey took a train out of the city Im mediately with the- child and was on his way back to his home in Leavenworth. where he will place the child with his mother and sister. Thla proved to be un true. Traanle All Along the Line. Harvey and his wife, Imx B. Harvey, did not get along together and decided to separate. Last September Mrs. Harvey came to Omaha with the child and made her home with her uncle, Robert Davis. Irately her uncle has been upbraiding- her because he said she had been running around to Saturday night dances, and she mnde counter accusations of misconduct against him. She finally left his house and took the child away, saying she was going to place it with a friend. Davis got busy Thursday and found the child had been placed In the Creche. He decided It would be better off with Mr. Harvey's peo pie and wired Mr. Harvey to come and get the little girl. With Hasen they went to the Creche Saturday morning and Harvey went Inside to talk with his wife. Davis says they had decided to get the child by force. If necessary, and as Mrs. Harvey would not give It up, Harvey grabbed It and handed It out to Davis through the window Palmer tried to stop them, but one of the men landed a heavy blow on his Hp und thev ran for the Farnam car. Palmer scurried to the court house and broke Into a session of the juvenile court. Ellison to the Front. Superintendent Ellison of the Humane society was sent with him to Investigate. Mrs. Harvey was hysterical, but she man aged to tell thorn the men got on a Farnam car going west with the child. Mr. Ellison went to Davis' home on South Twenty- ninth stroct, but did not find the little one. Davis was there, however, and he con sented to accompany Mr. Ellison to the court house, where ne told his story. He maintained Harvey went at once to the Burlington depot and took a train out of town. Palmer - said he would file a complaint with the county authorities, charging Davis with assault and some other things. Mrs. Harvey expects to file a suit tor divorce as soon as sho has established a, resldencs In Omaha. She charges her husband with drunkenness. Harvey says he will start a suit for divorce as soon as he gets back to Leavenworth. Coart Pots Child In Orphanage. Judge Button listened to the story of the kidnaping and of the troubles of the pur enta Saturday afternoon and then com mitted the child to St. James orphanage until he can make a further Investigation into the records of the parents. Mr. Harvey admitted she struck her husband with a needle during their last quarrel be fore they parted, but she says he also knocked her down. Ho admitted he cwmo home drunk one night and that this was the cause of the trouble. 'It Is out of the question," said Judge Sutton, "to give this child to a man who comes home drunk and strikes his wife. I will have to take It away from both of you for the present and decide what to do later." During the hearing the child ran from her father to her mother and prattled away unconscious of the turmoil she was caus ing. Judgs Sutton said he would try to determine within the next few days whether Harvey's mother Is a proper per son to have the child or not.
