instant, and Mrs Romanik was removed
from the steamer in tug and given into
the embrace of the poor little tailor and
husband waiting in desperation on the
New York wharf. v@
Romanik would take no more chances
with public institutions. He placed his
wife in the New York infirmary for
women and children and undertook to
pay $25 week until the child should be
born. 4
The case was set for hearing in the
federal court, but never came up for
trial. twenty-five dollars a weeksis a
heavy tax on an Attorney street tailor
shop, and Romanik was compelled to
give up in q few weeks. 1t would be
five or six weeks before the birth of the
baby. Mrs. Romanik became more and
more violent, and the Ellis island au-
thorities were once more notified.
Mrs. QuacKenbos had sailed for Hall
fax to take much-needed rest, and left
the case with her assistants pending her
return. The Ellis island authorities
contended that the woman was an cpl
leptic, and had been prior to her arrival
in this country. Her husband swore
her insanity was due to her condition.
To deport her now was not only danger
Gus but inhuman. But there was no one
to blame. Each department acted strict
ly according to its official duty as inter-
preted by the bare, cold letter of the law.
AS an insane alien, ordered deported,
the little mother-elect was once more
hurried from the inf1rmary and taken on
board the steamer. She longed for her
husband, but he had long since exhaust
ed the little tailor shop profits and was
penniless.
AS an accompanying alien the, sPeo-
pies law firm endeavored to have him
deported also at the expense of the gov
eminent, but-failed. Finally ticket
was procured for him from the United
Hebrew charities, and $25 was added by

lorn pair might not land in Europe pen

migration laws are of the utmost neces'
sity. Were this not the case the country
would soon become the refuge OF En-
ropes paupers and beggars.
The federal statutes that provide for
the admittance of foreigners are sup

TWAS the result of the laws failure to

q newborn American citizen.
It is against the law to deport an
American citizen. The law does not
specify any age limit in citizenship. 1t
simply says that child born on Ameri-
can soil of alien parents is an American
citizen.
= The baby in question was not born on
terra firma, but it was born within the
three-mile harbor limit placed by law
as the boundary between American soil
and the high seas He is therefore an
American citizen, fully entitled to all
the rights and privileges Thereof, and his
deportation has raised most curious
and involved question in immigration
litigation.
The baby's parents are Lolita and Her
man Romanik, both Russian Jews, both
Is years of age, and both immigrants,
or, as the law calls them, aliens.
Comes to Make His Fortune.
Over three years ago Romanik came
to this country from Russia. He was
young, healthy, capable, and was adj
mitted through Ellis island without the
slightest trouble. 1t was a good start
to his fortune in the new land. He was a
tailor by trade, and with the industry
and pertinacity of his race he estab-
lished himself in short order in small
shop on Attorney street.
The shop thrived, so did Romanik's
lovemaking. Back in his Russian home
lived Lolita, the sweetheart of his boy
hood, and the girls of the East side Ghet-
to had no claim for the busy little tailor,
as he worked steadily month in, month
out, and dreamed of the day when he
should bring Lolita home as bride.
Fourteen months ago the dream was
realized. Romanik would not let the
girl make the trip alone. Between Rus

Romanik made the long trip back home
and returned to America with his bride.

Oysters Excel as a Food.

Recent experiments show the great digestibility of the oyster When the oyster was crushed and placed in cold was dissolved. When the oyster was placed uncrushnd in the same medium one-fourth of its solid matter was dis solved. It is believed that if the oyster be chewed more than half of it is dis solved in the mouth. Cold water ap' pears to be the best thing to drink with oysters.
 What are the solids of the oyster? They are the proteids corresponding to the lean of meat Of tue white of an egg, fat, starchy matters and gly- cogen. This last means the substance which the liver manufactures for fu- ture use. It is very like sugar, and when wanted for use is changed into sugar. It is the substance which makes the oyster sweet in the mouth.
 But there are other valuable con stituents of the oyster-what are called the glycero-phosphoric con- pounds. Medical men prescribe these for improving the nervous system, so that a diet of oysters is unquestion- ably good for the nerves. They also contain common salt, a little copper and several phosphates. And taking the whole contents of the oyster shell, one finds almost everything necessary for the food of the body.-Chicago Chronicle.
