Pfants Drawn Into Their Mouths
The Odessa Herald contains the fol-
lowing In long article on the oyster.
How the oyster feeds may seem a
problem. As seen on the raw box,
which Is always now open, the oyster
Is shut as close as a clam but In itssnative
habitat it's shells are alwaysa little apart
and microscopic waving hairs set up
currents which carry the food plauts.to
its mouth where they are engulfed and
digested
The oyster feeds every hour, every
minute of the day, and turns material
otherwise unavailable into one of the
best human foods Scientific work by
the state and national surveys has
proved that nearly three quarters Of the
bay are covered by such mud, and are
fitted TO nourish oysters, though only a
small part is oyster bed. Why2 The
embryo sinks in the mud and is smoth
cred To thrive, IL needs merely some
stones or solid objects to serve as
resting place.
1T might seem that an increase Of
oysters would exhaust this supply Of
mud food, as the cattle Of our western
ranges exhaust the bunch grass; but the
supply is inexhaustible. This mud
swarms with the germs OF little plants
which swim through the water and are
taken by the oyster It is impossible to
exhaust the food supply of the oyster
and you do not have TO provide IL, like
the Kansas farmer, who has to grow
corn and turn II into pork.

Mrs. 1ierney, the baby's grandmother,
was away aud there was no one about but
George Tierney, an 1S-year-old brother OF
Mrs. Stocker.
About three O'Clock Stoker came along
ZabriskIe street, and seeing one OF the
Tierney nefghbors standing on the street,
said he meant to take his daughter some
time.
''Why, there she Is across the street,"
said the woman.
He crossed the street and said to the
baby: Come along and get some candv.'
Baby stopped playing and put up her
hand. which Stocker took to lead her
away.
George Tierney, seeing S5ocker's action.
ran over to him, but he said he was
going merely to buy some candy, and
Tierney was satisfied with his explana-
tion and did not try to take the
child. When, however, he saw
Stocker lift the child in his arms
and Walk rapidly past the candy store,

chase. He soon overlook Stocker and at

went almost all over the neighborhood
but could find no trace OF the child. and
did not know who had taken 1t until her
brother returned at five o'clock and told
of the affair.
Stocker lives on Spring street. West Ho-

his wife any communication wit b

Stocker says he was denied
the privilege OF seeing his child and was
never welcome when he called at his
