Police, Fireman and Small Boy Thus
Employed.

While the little pest, the English
sparrow, is as numerous in Americus
as elsewhere he has not been officially
declared nuisance, as in Macon,
where by royal edict murder and mas
sacre has been declared against the
birds. Some portions of the city are
SO infested with them that citizens
cannot sleep at night for the noise
created, and police, fremen and the
ON nipresent small boy are now lined
up against this English Invader. A
night or two ago che of the fire en-
gines was hauled near O roosting place,
q stream of water was turned on and
the birds within range were knocked
to the ground, where they we're stamp
ed lifeIess before they could recover
from the sudden bath and the force of
the water. Boys joined IN the work of
death and hundreds of the birds were
carted away.

description Of her experience under

came to my bedside at 6 in the morning
and swathed me tightly, like mummy,
first in dry blankets, then heaped the
feather bed and bedclothes atop of me,
leaving only my face uncovered. then
went away for an hour, committing me
to what Paulet calls my distract ideas
and the sense of suffocation, all the
blood in my body seeming to get press

WHEN THE BUD
UNFOLDED
By SARA LINDSAY
COLEMAN
Copyright. 1908. by T. c. Mcclure

The doctor pushed back his break
fast with some irritation. Mrs. Byers'
voice sounded as If ii had been sharp
ened on the grindstone.
Its not that l want you to marry;
it's that you've not had an opportunity
hurts me. All the girls goin' like hot
cakes and you've hardly speakin' ac-
quaintance with man. If you don't
believe had thirty men to COURT
please don't count" said James
teary voice.
THE belle, and now the laughin'

ried; said they were pityin' you at

about bein' beauless and likely TO stay
so, since I've been a good mother TO
you''-sob-" try"-sob-"to stir your
self to get one"
Half ashamed, the doctor got up and
looked from the window. Mrs. Byers
had gone ON the back steps with her
NiDONN vi iANl hAlNNHs JallN iNsANh hNA
delicate face on her palms.
Although the whole sweep of his life
was away from women, the doctor felt
sorry for Jane-poor Jane-white,
shrinking. infolded as lily bud.
When her head went down and she
began TO sob he slipped away. In his
early days there had been little girl.
When she died that door of his life was
softly closed.
In the quiet of his workroom he
tried TO absorb himself in the latest
scientific discovery, but in vain. James
pathetic face peered out of every page.
At last he frowned heavily into the
hall.
Jane, coming on flying feet, stopped
short at sight of the frown. Then she
summoned her courage and with it an
April shower of words
"Would you. since you're so ol-since
you are going away tomorrow-oh, /
don't know how | dare! I'll never take
advantage. She's putting nothing
against thirty, and It's awfully uncom-
Portable. I'll cross my heart to say
NO Will yOu-will YOU

big specialist, who was outwardly very
