System Among Birds
Warblers, kinglets, chickadees, nut-
hatches and creepers while working
through the branches in quest of tiny
Insect prey, keep up an insistent lisp-
ing so that they need apply their sharp
eyes only to the problem of catching
game. Their ears tell them just where
their nearest neighbor is located. In
this way much confusion is avoided.
A bird does not crowd upon his neigh-
bor; he picks fresh territory to hunt
and all the while he can keep in touch
with his fellows.

Only in the Willows
A characteristic distinguishing the
Willow family from practically - all
others is that both the pollen-bearing
and the seed-producing flowers are ar-
ranged in drooping tassels, says “Tree
Habits” from the American Nature
association. Numerous other trees
have their pollen-bearing flowers ar-
ranged in this fashion, but in no other
family are the seed-producing flowers
also grouped in this distinctive way.

Expert Advice on How
to Compose Love Poem
First of all, to compose a love poem,
it is necessary to know a few facts
about the girl. Don’t be alarmed—
nothing intimate or risque is neces-
sary. Color of eyes—hair—shape of
mouth and general appearance are
good facts to observe. The condition
of teeth is another good point. How-
ever, it is not considered good form
to pry open the mouth for a detailed
inspection. The feet are another good
point—If small—and the distance be-
tween the ankle and knee—only, how-
ever, if voluntarily exposed.
Next Is to think of all the words
that rhyme with “love.” Incidentally
don’t forget that “you” and “true” are
perfect rhyme*. If you want to do
the thing right It is better to borrow-^
or If you can’t borrow, to buy, a rhym-
ing dictionary which will give you
words rhyming with “thou,” “ever-
more,” “sweet,” “passion” and others.
Write the poem with due precau-
tions on the delicate questions of com-
plexion and possible changes of color
of hair. Pay some (but not too much)
attention to nether extremities, as
previously mentioned.
Revise the poem. Re-revise it. Copy
it.
Stand up and read It aloud, with
appropriate gestures, before your mir-
ror.
Blush.
Tear it twice, once lengthwise and
once across, and deposit the whole
in a safe place.—From the Jester.

THAT’S QUALITY.
Man-Made World
“If I believed in change I should
sketch a world where women would
live upon shelves, shelves without lad-
ders. One would take them down
when one wanted them ; ihey would be
delighted to be taken down, clapping
their little hands, cooing like babies,
md yet understand one’s deepest
thoughts. One would also take them
down in the morning to do the house-
work ; at other times one w’ould live
sternly and bravely with other men
as stern and brave, until one came to
seed again the women who would be
akin to those very expensive dolls who
say *Pa-pa’ and ‘Mam-ma’ when you
press a spring. When one got tired
>f their repertory one would sen<(
them to the shop to have a different
repertory put in.”—W. L. George in

Perfectly Safe
“I was afraid my sermon last Sun-
day would annoy some of my people,
but it didn’t,” said the clergyman.
“What was your subject?” asked his
friend.
“ ‘The Duplicity of the Average
Man,' and I spoke pretty plainly."
“You couldn’t tread on any corns
that way. Every man considers blm-
Mif above the average.”
Water Is Literally
Their Staff of Life
The most amazing race of human be-
ings Is undoubtedly the El Molo, a
tribe of "fishmen,” who inhabit the
desert wastes bordering Lake Rudolf,
in Kenya colony, Africa. This tribe
represents the only known specimens
of semiamphibious people and it is a
curious fact that any tribesman dies
if he is kept without water for about
three hours. As a rule they drink every
hour during the day, for even an hour
and a half without water causes crack-
ing and bleeding of the lips, the Bos-
ton Transcript says.
The El Moro tribesmen spend their
days swimming in the waters of Lake
Rudolf and fishing from frail rafts
constructed with palm branches. Fish
is almost their only diet and they have
no opportunity of varying their menu,
unless they are fortunate enough to
spear a hippopotamus. The water of
Lake Rudolf is undrinkable to anyone
but the El Moro, for it contains a
large quantity of soda and has an ob-
jectionable taste. The proportion of
soda in that lake increases yearly, and
it is believed to be this fact that has
caused the “fishermen” to become a
deformed race.

The Gift Appropriate
“Your daughter,” said Mrs. Oldcas-
tle, after being conducted through the
newly furnished wing of the magnifi-
cent palace occupied by the new-rich
Bullingtons, “has such a splendid vo-
cabulary.”
“Do you think so?” her hostess re-
plied. “Josiah wanted to get her one
of them escritoires, but I made up my
mind right at the start that a vocabu-
lary would look better in a room fur-
nished like hers, even if it didn’t' cost
quite so much.”

NACOGODOCHES TO GIVE
BIG HISTORICAL PAGEANT.
On the night of May 19 the city
of Nacogdoches will present a histor-
ical pageant in six episodes giving the
principal events in the history of the
city for the past three hundred years.
The first episode will portray the life
of the early Tejas Indians in quiet
village life, on the chase, and in war
The second episode will picture the
founding of the missions and of the
city of Nacogdoches, with scenes
showing periodic events of the years
between 1684 and 1779. Episode
three will sketch the laying out of
the Old San Antonio Road as the
gateway into Texas. The
episode will present the Fredonian
Rebellion and the Battle of Nacogdo-
ches. In the fifth episode the spec-
tators will witness a reproduction
of early social life in Nacogdoches.
The sixth and last episode will por-
tray modern Nacogdoches as a cen-
ter of education and culture.
The citizens of Nacogdoches, the
students of the high school, and the
students of the Stephen F. Austin
State Teachers College will unite
their efforts to make this pageant
one of great magnitude and dignity
and splendor. Some two thousand
people will Joe used in presenting
the various episodes.
The first episode is being direct-
ed by Prof. W. R. Davis of the Col-
lege; the second ,by Mrs. Bonnie
Grimes; the third by Robert Jordan;
the fourth by Miss Ethie Eagleton

merce, is looking after the details of
