Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING 11STORIAN. ASTOMV OREGON. i it- ? if t AN INTERNATIONAL DIFFICULTY. Original. . Hans Becker aud Gretchen Stlefel were German peasants, aged respec tively sixteen and Bfteeu. Their fa thers' little farms adjoined, and they vent to school together. Hans was a tan, dark eyed young fellow, with a One frame, though not yet properly filled nt Gretcbeu looked out of a pair of sntld blue eyes, and a heavy colt of hair the hue of flax hung down her back to her knees. The two had played together as children and when they came Into their teens were still In separable. One day llant, after a consultation with his father, told Gretchen that he was going to America. An uncle had written from there that if Hans would come out he would give hltu a place in his brewing business and help hlui to make a fortune. The offer had been ac cepted. Hans would soon be seventeen years old, an age when every German man must serve bis term of military duty before leaving the fatherland, therefore it had been determined that he should go before bis next birthday. Hans and Gretchen were as ignorant of love as at the day they were born. When Hans told her that he was go ing to America she turned pale, made a few little breath catches, then tears began to well up in her blue eyes. Hans, too, felt a choking In bis throat. He folded her in his arms. For the first time it dawned upon them that they were lovers. The day before Hans was seventeen he sailed for America. His uncle, who had made money, gave him an oppor tunity. He told him that If be would remain at the business tor tea years without returning to Germany he might have a year's vacation, at the end of which be would receive a block f the stock of the brewing company that would make him rich and he should, if competent, be its manager. At the end of the time Hans had com plied with the conditions and proved himself well fitted for a manager's po Hans and Gretchen had correspond ed and pined for each other, and at the expiration of the ten years Hans went to Germany. He found Gretchen a , lovely woman, though still a peasant, and they were married. It was in the summer, and they spent their honey- moon in Switzerland. A couple of months before the expiration of Hans' vacation his wife presented him with a son. But alas the boy was born with a club foot When Hans and bis family were about to sail for America an officer served a paper on him distraining him from leaving Germany till be bad served his term In the army. Then Hans knew what he bad not known before or bad forgotten that if he re mained more than nine months in Ger many be again became a German cit tcea and liable to military duty. , Here was a misfortune. To remain m Germany for the purpose of hang ing around a barrack for several years would be equivalent to giving np a fortune In America. Hans knew that the law on this subject was Inexorable and was about to write bis uncle re linquishing his interests In the brew ing company when he discovered that the period spent in Switzerland had made him alien to Germany. He could stay in the fatherland for nine months . more before again becoming a German eitizen. This gave him a leeway of nearly two months. Ills wife was in poor health, and he deferred his de parture for the United States til! a few days before the expiration of the sec ond nine months' period, which would again make him a German citizen. On reaching New York he found that If the fatherland is jealous of her sons leaving her shores without having done military service the United States Is equally jealous of any one coming within her borders who Is not in all respects a desirable citizen. Little Helnricti Becker's club foot was an insurmountable obstacle to his being admitted to the national domain. In vain his father pleaded that he would not permit his boy to become a bur den on the American people. The law refusing cripples is as Inexorable as the law respecting army service In Uermany, tnouga uia roamm tor u u more humane. It aeemed that the only plan for the Becker family would be to go back to Germany. But if this plan were adopt ed the husband aud father would reach German shores shortly after the x plration of the nine months' period, which would make htm liable to mill' tary duty. Hans began to wish that the nations of the world would unite under one government, so that he might be a citixen of all. He was wanted in Germany, where he could not make a respectable living, that the emperor might be prepared to fight the powers; ho was kept out of the United States, where a fortune await ed him, because his sod happened to be born with a club foot. However, Hans Becker had become an American and did not complain of the exceptional injustice of just laws. It was suggested to him that he go to Mexico with his family, from whoso border he could easily enter tho United States. But he dlsdalucd to break the law. He determined to send his wife and boy tack to Germany, to have his boy's foot operated on by a surgeon and then bring mother and child back a fain. It happened that on the day tliev were to sail the head of the eml jrrtitVm bureau at Washington visited Ellis island, where emigrants are re ceived. The case was referred to him, and he decided that little Ilelnrlch Becker might become one of the 00, 000,000 people of the United States. ALICE G. CUMMING8.

A Maine farmer who has been mak ing money during the past eleven years from growing Ben Davis apples, recently disposed of a shipment of this fruit at $4.85 net profit per barrel. When all other apples are past their usefulness, old Ben Davis is good enough for tRe most of the people. Bad breath has probably broken off more matches than bad temper, and that'a a good many.
