just Mt this moment, sphsn Mr. Jack

"Of course am not to blame. You
are not to blame either. The fault lies
with tho fcltle woman who wrote tho
letter." said Oswald. surprising his
friend referred 70 the letter written by
Miss Fanny. 'You have nothing TO do
with this outrageous letter which your
wife's sister has written to me. What
have done TO deserve it?" and he held
out tho cxasperating document In his
trembling hand.
"What have you dono 10 deserve it?"

OF course everything was explained
at once, much to the embarrassment
and also relief of all tho implicated

to her husband, and Miss Fanny, who
found 1t convenient TO put in an APP
pearance, blushingly confessed that
she had been prcmaturcly severe with
Mr.. Oswald. and became engaged on
the spot. Mr.. jackson promised never
again to allow himself 10 become the
victim OF the green-eyed monster.
while Mrs Jackson was equally pos

Love MAKES The HOME.


There's many gabled pile called home,
With furnishings rioh and rare,
Where love looks in with loving eyes
But has no portion there;
Where oil is chilled with stately frost
That makes hearts ache, ween,
IT'S called home but there Is no home
Where love is not supreme
There's many cot with four plain walls,
That would make a princely homo
As we'll as the palace OF marble white,
With pillar and gilded dome
But the golden talisman Is not there
And bitter the draught OF fate,
For eyes grow dim and souls grow hard
Where the wolf is joined with hate.
Where hearts arc tender and thrill with love
In castle or dug-out bare,
That spot is blest by Heavens decree,
For truly home Is there,
And the angels flying about that spot
Pause awhile with spreading wings,
To smile at the glimpse of Heaven here
That pure and true love brings.

Having placed the letter In an en-.

and took his departure, shaking his
head and very much bewildered.
In tho meantime, there was dis

and binding tears had told her sister
OF the insulting conducted Mr.. Oswald.
Miss Fanny, who had reason to suppose
that Oswald had been paying Ibis adj

OF proposing matrimony, was indignant
at tho entire male seq, and Mr.. Frank
Oswald In particular. The sister re-
solved never again TO speak TO him.
and Miss Fanny wrote him note that

that his continued acquaintance was
not desired, as she perceived that his

Mrs jackson, a young and beautiful

SEATTLE, Dec. 22.-Judge Han

which is of great Importance to

The court hO IS that the decision

right of Chinese merchant to be-
admitted to the country will not be
re-exanlined by the courts for the
mere purpose of determining
whether the action was based upon
good evidence, and that a Chinaman
who is in fact entitled to be in this
country and who has gained admit
tance canuot be sent out for reason
that the law requires judicial de-
termination to the contrary before a
warrant can be issued for the de-
portation of a Chinese person. That
is, it must be adjudl ed that he is not
one entitled by law to remain in the
country.
