Be Deported Through Activity
of Uncle Who Swears
Out Warrant

"They pinchee me because no go back

China girl. l want stay Amelica and
marry Mellcan gal' cried 16-year-old Lee
Hing, as he was taken, weeping and pro-
testing, into the police station last night.
Lee was arrested on a bench warrant
issued by the superior court. He is said
to be a dependent child, and the warrant
was issued at the request of his rela-

Lee told a pitiful story to the officers.
Two years ago he ran away from his
home in Canton he said. and embarked
on board a vessel bound for this country.
At that time his marriage had already
been arranged for by relatives in the old
world. During his infancy his parents
had arranged for him to marry the
daughter of a neighboring family, and de-
spite the fact that little Lee Hing pro-
tested that he did not wish to wed he
was told there was nothing for him to dc
but obey the orders of his parents.
FIees from Wedding
Then he decided to come to America.
After boarding the ship he took the name
Lee Sirg, expecting that no one would
know him under that title. He also
shaved off his queue and adopted the
American method of dress.
employed in restaurant in San Fran
cisco. At night he devoted his time to
study, until he became well acquainted
with the English language.
After the earthquake and fire he came
to Los Angeles and since that time has
worked in this city. Recently he learned
that he was being watched by certain of
his countrymen, and later he was told
that a wealthy uncle whom he had never
seen had come to Los Angeles from Can
ton and was looking for him.
Lee made up his mind to go to Arizona.
Carefully he laid his plans, keeping his
intended secret, hoping that he would be
able to leave the city without being seen
by any spies employed by his uncle.
The boy completed arrangements to
leave today. Word of his intended move
ments reached the ears of his uncle, and
he caused the warrant for the boys ar
rest to be issued 1t was served last
night and today little Lee Hing will be
taken to court, where he will be COM
PEELED to tell why he should not be de-
ported to China.
The boy took his arrest very much to
heart and cried continually during his
stay at the Central station. In view of
his age it was at last decided to take
him to the detention home, where he
passed the night

PECULIAR CASE.

Last Sunday night Mrs. Osborne,
living on S. Evergreen, in the 6OO
block, was awakened about one O'Clock
by noise and con- motion In the bed
room occupied by her two dau5hters.
one IL years old and the other some
two years cider. She rushed into the
room as soon as she could and found
that some man had entered the room
and grabbed the younger girl around
the waist with one arm while he
grasped the throat of the older with
the other in an effort to keep her
quiet and was trying to get out Of the
window with the little girl. On the
approach # the mother the man
loosened his hold on the girls and es-
CAPPED out of the window. Mrs. Os-
borne did not see the man distinctly
enough togive any description of him.
{ The oldest girl says he was tall man
with a dark mustache. Who the man
was and what he wanted can only be
surmise.
Mrs. Osborne has been divorced
from her husband, drunken worth
less character, for several years. He
is not known to be In the country. II
has been suggested that he might
wanU to take the little girl away from
her mother, but at last accounts he
had no home and no place to take her,
and beiides he never seemed to have
any highly Developed affection for
his children.
1t was no one wanting TO abduct the
little girl in hope Of ransome as Mrs.
Osborne is not wealthy. The man,
whoever he was. EVIDENTLY wanted to
carry the girl away but for what rur.
pose we can only conjecture.
The mother and daughters are very
nervous oyer the matter and will not
stay 10 the house Of night since the
Occurance.
Until recently Mrs. Osborne has
mad a SOD living with her but he has
gone west and she and tue two little
girls are 10 the house alone. They
have near neighbors on each side and

THE BOY WHO IS FAITHFUL

THE BOY WHO IS FAITHFUL
1t is all right to be smart, but 1t Is
all wrong to be smart ia the wrong
way l have seen boys who think that
they are smart in ordering others
around and boasting Of what they are
to do. I'll had any work to be done
I'd never hire lad like that TO do H.
1t is true that some employers are
in need of smart boys and ever on the
outlook for them; but there are thou
sands of positions where boys OF only
ordinary ability ara wanted. Boys
that are too srAart are often not dc
sired, since they too, often want u
dictate and can not be dictated to-;
they try to run the business to suit
not their employers, but themselves
There Is greater demand for faith
ful boys than for smart boys. There
is nothing that one more appreciates
la one under him than faithfnlness, l
once heard gentleman say that he
asked friend why he paid his secre'
tary snch very large salary when ne
could secure one for much smaller
sum. He replied that he could secure
oae for less amount, but not one who
would do the work as did this one,
"When / am gone,' said the friend,
"eyerything goes on just as If | were
here" Now if this secretary had been
smart, rather than faithful, his en-
ployer might not have been able to
say of him whBt he did. He might
have been obliged to have SAID. Il
can't leave him. for when Pm gone he
tries to run matter; to suit himself
and To improve upon my methods, and
it is not a partner that want, but a
secretary"
Where one succeeds because of his
spartness, ten succeed uecanse Vi
their faithfulness.
And not at the boys falthfulness
alone does a would-be employer lock;
he desires a boy who is an all around
moral boy. He knows that it is no
use to hire one who smokes cigarettes
for these muddle the brain, cause
heart trouble and kill the smoker at
so early an age that he will be obliged
to soon secure another lad. Nor does
he care for boy who gam bles, for his
funds would be too handy for such
and the temptation to borrow them
too great. Nor does the employer de-
sire a boy who drinks intoxicaDts even
IN toe slightest degree, for he thinks
there will be possibility of his max
Ing mistake,
1t may be that the man who Is thu
critical INDUCES himself 10 all of these
vices, but he wants the boy he EN-
ploys to be free from them. He knows
more than any other to what they
will lead, and it is probable that a boy
who is inclined to them would obtain
position with good man rather
than from a man like this, for gooc
man would think that he might as
