Few Birds in Texas since Big Storm.


By those who live ia the rural dis
tricts, as we'll as observing townspeo-
pie, the scarcity of birds since the Sep
TENDER storm is frequently the subject
of remark. Before the storm the woods
around Brennan swarlned with birds of
20 kinds and the town was literally
alive with English sparrows. There
are now very few of the latter seen and
the chirp of bird in the swamp or
woodland is rarely heard. The gener-
ally accepted theory of their disappear
ance is that the smaller kinds were dis
lodged from their perches by that
awful gale and beaten to death in the
brush and against the ground and trees.
In support of this theory it may be
said that the morning after the storm
hundreds of sparrows were dead in the
court house plaza here, and at the base
of every brick wall scores could be seen.
There is no doubt that they were blown
against the wall with sufficient force to
kill Decentralization News.

Ha' Hin, Chinanlan
BY G.. r. PattulO, Jr.

TIA HIN lay on his back in his mar
row bunk and scraped upon a
wire strung violin droning lullaby
of the orient. With dreamy, almond
eyes gazing into space, he thought OF
Yateesha and smiled. In the hollow
wall within reach of his hand lay the
precious American gold that fou1
years of persistent toll had won him.
and he laughed with child's delight
as he tapped gently upon the boards
The disturbing noises of the street
reached him subdued and slumberous
and from all around the cultural
voices of his brother Orientals min
gled in sleepy monotone. AS in a haze,
he saw the lazy Yangtse-Kiang flow
murmuringly on to the Yellow sea,
its reed-clad banks swept gently by
a perfumed breeze that whispered OF
rest, and of love, and of languoroue
delight Swift birds of heavenly plu-
mage fioated by on noiseless wings,
and Yateesha's soft laughter rippled
silver-chiming as music of paradise,
With gentle undulating motion they
were sailing on, he and she, through
the realms of night, and the great
golden moon in the white radiance
of starry heaven sent wide beams OF
light over the bosom of the waters.
The poppies dropped their graceful
heads, and from a1ar shone fairy
lights. A continuous murmur of life
was borne upon the passion-breath-
ing air and they two watched alone
in the high arch of sky the intense
stars shoot like arrows of fire.
Ha Hin closed his eyes and saw be-
fore him long life of dreamful ease;
heard the deferential voices of many
slaves and the respectful salutations
of his countrymen as he responded to
their low salaams. And the queen of
it all was Yateesha. He placed his
head upon his arm and sighed tremu-
lously. He was going back to va
teesha and his happiness.
The big Mantchoorian lay opposite
and watched with sullen eyes the
bright dreams reflected upon Ha
Hin's countenance. He kicked vi
ciously at 70 TIE sunk in stupor beside
him, his brass-tipped opium pipe
hanging from loose lips that babbled
incoherently of the strange fantasies
of his sleep. The low ceilinged room
was heavy with the many cdors OF
a Chinaman's sleeping apartment, and
the forms of three sons of the sunny
east showed dimly from hunks about
the walls through blue vail OF
smoke. From the next room came

Whenever the American people find a
thing of merit, absolute genuine merit, they
appreciate it and never hesitate to make
liberal use of it. 1t is merit that counts for
the enormous sale of Cascarets- six
million boxes last year. 1t is the best bowel
and liver regulator in the world and sells
at prices that suit everybody-l0 25c and

waste. Cascarets are easy to take and are

not prove satisfactory. A SOC box is enough
for whole months treatment for the

Cascarets an immediate trial.
