Ghs Was Rather Mixed Up as toIer Mari
tal Responsibilities.
The arrival of the China steamer
Gaelic recently brought Il handsome
Chinese girl apparently not much over
10 years old. She had no papers and
was released on the usual writ of habeas
corpus along with IL score of others.
The writ WAS returned few days
sgO and with it the fair Po Sing. She
claimed to be married, and said that
her husband lived in San Francisco.
Between herself and an assistant at
torney for the prosecution the follow
ing conversation ensued through an
interpreter:
'HOw old may you be?" commenced
the attorney.
Nineteen years. was the prompt
reply.
"Yes SIR"
where were you married?"
s.In China, five years."
"Have you ever seen your husband?"
"NO, sir; he has always been in San
Francisco"
Well, well' And is it u custom in
China to marrya man without seeing
him?n
ayes, sir.n
"YOu have never seen your husband,
then?"
emo, sir.'n
"WOuld it be too much to ask you to
tell the court how many children you
have?''
''Two.'
The answer fairly paralyzed the
court, and the almOnd-eyed damsel was
ordered to return to her children

all made their best speed in the direc-

AS they broke through the bushes,
the water WAS just creeping above BAL

The PROSTATE natives lcaped to their
feet, called to their companions who
had just arrived with Lord Nnthby,
and together starred to break away
across the jungle.
"Stop!" cried Nathby, in the native
tongue, instantly bringing his fowling-

They obcyed. and by vigorous united

Brisk rubbing soon brought him to
consciousness again, but he was too
weak to walk. The natives impro-
