was nothing to" be done but walk the
floor all night with the infant In his

equal to any task, was equal to the
emergency. He walked and he walked.

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

The two families deeded that Sing Doo

should become man and wife. Just be
cause they had been separated I years
made no difference. , ,
And now the one fond hope of Sing
and his parents has been realized Sing
is . a married man.

One of Judge Cameron's Christmas
gifts came back to him yesterday.
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-
