ABILENE PEOPLE FROM BLUFF
WATCH GULF STORM RAGE

Abilene, Tex. Sept.-Rattlesnakes
and water moecasins added to the
horror and materially increased the
death list in the Corpus Christi
storm, in the opinion of W. T. Red
dell Of Abilene, who with his wife,
stood on the bluff and watched the
great storm wreak it's fury upon the
town.
Reddell said hundreds of snakes
were visible in the water and along
the shore line. washed out from the
hills of the Neuces river. Many per
sons are known to have been bitten
He related the story of one man who
attempted to climb upon large piece
Of wreckage. Several persons al
ready were on the wreekage, writh-
ing in agony and screaming in pain.
They had been bitten by snakes.
Others who spent a long time in the
water or upon wreckage told tales
Of having fought snakes for hours.
The Abilene man said the storm
was understandable From their van
tage point on the bluff Mr.. and Mrs.
Reddell saw the whole thing, but
like thousands Of others we're power
less TO render aid to the struggling
people in the water. Reddell said
he saw 200 bodies and estimated the
death list will reach at least 700.
The Abilene couple reached Cor
pus Christi a few hours after the
beginning Of the storm.

= KINDERGARTEN HELPS =
= FOR PARENTS '
(By Jess Sweitzer Sheaffer.)
Pet. Nv Children Have Had.

The child on the farm has many
opportunities TO own pets and to live
close TO Nature which child in the
city lacks. Nevertheless, there are a
number of gentle and very interest
ing pets which a child in the longest
ed city districts may have.
Ny children have taken a great
deal Of pleasure in caring for their
different pets-of which they have
had quite a variety. The first was a
canary Birds are always a joy, es-
pecially the canary, which is quite at
home in a cage, and is costent with
a vessel Of pure water and fresh seed
each day. His CHEEKY song gives
pleasure TO the grown-ups as well as
20 the children
Then. too, goldfish are never
ending source Of wonder and interest
to children The fact that their en-
vironment is so different from our
own, and that they live constantly
under water will start the child to
thinking and asking innumerable
questions. The fish need very little
care and two or three Of them flash
ing about in a glass bowl are an at
tractive addition to any room. A
small piece Of especially prepared fish
food broken and dropped into the
bowl every other day and fresh wat
err once or twice a week. are all that
is necessary for their comfort. Little
shells or pebbles which the children
may have gathered along the beach
in summer can be put into the bowl,
although they are not essential. A
few water plants are also desirable,
and help to purify the water. Our
goldfish have thrived for more than
two years with very little care.
Our family Of guinea pigs were
more unusual, and were the cleanest
little animals one could find. Jack
and Jill were the original couple, but
the children were delighted, upon 60
ing out TO feed them one morning. TO
find three little baby guineas snug

the tiniest. furriest. little babies with

Their snug bed Of hay was frequent

es, lettuce. clover and plantain and
also relished cake made of corn

My children enjoy kittens and Ban

Even the rotten stump stood straight and healthy on the green hillside. The grass was befowered with open bles- soms. incense sweet as myrrh pervasi cd upland and forest. birds snng en the mountain top and all gave thanks to the great God"
 Ii is naught buf an old-foik tale, hut il has truth hidden at it's heart. for a strange. subtle force. q spirit of gen iai good will. z newborn Kindness, seem to animate child and man alike when the world pays it's tribute to the 'heaven-sent yonngiing" as the poet. Drunmond. calls the infant Christ.
 When the three wise rnen rode from the east Into the west on their sad die-bows were three c-nsk~fs filled with gold and frankincense and myrrh, te be laid at the feet of The manager cradied babe of Bethlehem.
