He walked and he walked. And still the baby cried. - When Ham ilton left home yesterday morning it was still crying. But he had to go to work and was thankful for the relief that labor would bring under the cir cumstances. - ".

SING DOC AND MING HO MARRY ; AFTER COURTSHIP OP 36 YEARS Sing Doo is happy at last he has married the sweetheart of bis youth as the final decision of his parents and those of the glrL ' Sing Doe Is a Chinaman. . Until a few months ago he was employed at Turner Hall In Portland. He had charge of the lunch counter. . ' For moro than S9 years old Sing had made his home In this country. Then he went home to wed. Now comes the news of his marriage to the little al mond eyed girl he left when he wae nothing but a mere stripling of a boy. Sing was a -good boy. He lived with tils mother and father in. a little house- .boat moored in the Yang Tee Klang river. - But Sing was ambitious. He was possessed of a desire to wander and ; to see the great United States. ' His playmate was a daughter. of Ming ' Ho. Mine; also lived In a Houseboat not far away. The two children were almost constantly together. As a boy Sing Doo was In love. Miss Ho recip rocated. " " But the pesky little microbe of. won- rterlust kept pegging away at the brain of Sing. Then he decided to leave his love, home, friends, the land of his birth, ' and evcrvthlng. He had, heard great tales of the wonderful wealth to be found In the land of magic the United States. Sing; came to this country. Then to Portland. He was Industrious and he longed for the time when he would be joined by the little girl With whom he played on tlrn banka of the Tans; Tee Klnng his affinity. ' S- Before .Sing Doc could carry out his plana the exclusion laws were put Jnto effect It was a big blow to Sing. But he worked and saved and he looked for ward to his return to the land which Is loved by all Chinese and as only a Chinaman can love. 1 Sing's parents had looked after his intnroHta at his old .home. They were . . lit., via n4 hi a wl to KIWI Jljruua v "'P v " - The two families deeded that Sing Doo or foriiana ana miss nu w. wiu should become man and wife.

Christmas morning the Judge, actuated by the spirit of the merry Xuletide sea son, gave freedom to a few short-term prisoners who In days gone by had ap peared before him to answer for their slns. One of those who drew a winning ticket wag William J. Baker.; .who had been counting off the periods of a thirty-day sentence given him for using abusive language to his colored wife. It waa a hanev dav for William. When Baker went to the boarding' house conducted by his dusky spouse he was told to "go 'way back - and sit down." She had. she said, begun a suit for divorce and would, In the future, confine her domcstlo relations to mem bers of her own race and color. Friday night Baker went to the house ror the ostensiDie purpose oi getting ms clothes. The rreeting between husband and wife was of- so affectionate a na ture that the services of a policeman were required to separate them. Baker was taken to jail and charged with disorderly conduct. The event was celebrated bv Mrs. Baker after the man ner of her kind and two hours later she occupied the cell adjoining that, of her husband, she having been arrested for being drunk and disorderly. They will be tried on Monday, at which time Judge Cameron will have an opportunity to refer back t his generous act of Christ- mag uuy.
