COIN HOME TO MARY.

Birds seem singin' all the way
Coin home to Mary;
Roses on winters day,
Coin home to Mary.
/ can hear my heart keep time
With the bells that sweetly chime;
Happiest man that lives when I'm
Coin home to Mary!
Far away her smile / see,
Coin home to Mary:
How il lights the way fer me,
Coin home TO Nary
There, in groves where nests the dove,
In cot with blooms above.
Still she lights the lamps o love
coin home to Mary!
Down the walk come patterin' feet,
Coin home to Mary;
Children's arms an kisses sweet,
Coin home to Mary.
Rob comes climbin to my knee,
Katie wants kiss from me;
Loves me all the world says she,
Home with love an Mary
Shine the lights for evermore,
Coin home to Mary!
Love still leads me the door,
Coin home to Mary.
For her sake my toll is sweet,
For her sake my hearth beat
Till it's dust beneath her feet
Coin home to Mary

JOIN KEGS TRIBULATIONS. as
Turns to His Old Protector in His
Hour of Peril.

= Something like a year ago JON kee
and his wife came from Oregon and
opened shirt factory ON l street, where
they soon worked UP a nice trade-so
nice, in fact, as to stir up the cupidity
OF the highbinders, who have an eye to
every Chinaman's affairs.
Then, too, JON KEGS wife was young,
and, as Oriental women go, very hand
some, and was and is worth about 3,OO0
American dollars. They had been set
tied in Sacramento but a short time
when the highbinders, or cutthroats, be-
gan operation and demanded of JON
5000, under penalty of death and the
loss of Mrs. JON. JON was staggered,
and applied to Police officer Jack Will
son to help him out of his difficulty.
Wilson probably knows the Chinese
better than any other man on the force.
and by vigorous operations deported
about a dozen of the ruffians, but
others came and JON was induced to
compromise for $50
A few months ago JON found it i'm
possible to do business where his hobo
brethren collected toll daily, and as a
consequence left the city, going to Wal
nut Grove, where he again embarked
in business. But his ducats and Mrs.
JON were not forgotten, and the high
binders were soon on his trail once
more. JON, in his hour of trouble,
turned to his old protector, as Is shown
by the following letter:
Walnut Grove, July /, 1896.
Mr.. j. Wilson-Dear Friend: / ar
rived in Walnut Grove with my wife
safety. But last night a chinese high
binder blackmail me. his name Shue
Man Gun. he want me give him $50,
or If l won't he will kill me and my wife.
1t happen kill or my wife happen any
trouble please protect me, because I
have no help here letter / shall close
with my best regard to your folks and
Obllge yours RESPECTFULLY JON KEE
