4icNlcaBs, Indians and Poems are not of
the Caliber to compete successfully with
these tireless Orientals. The former are
too lazy to put forth the energy which Is
necessary to keep Pace with MunGolian

intendent Of Richard Gird's ranch in
tie nils south of Chino. San Bernar-
dino county. The prisoner is magnid-
cent specimen OF the California vultvre,
without doubt the largest ever taken
captive. From the crown of its fero-
cious looking. red-wattIcd head to its
strong. scally talOns it measures six
feet. Its plucky captOr is an inch or
two shorter in his cOwhidc boots. The
man has the advantage in weight. for
the bird weighs 100 pounds. Stiu, that
is fair fighting weight to carry
through the ralrtied upper air. In or

bald old man Of misery instincts. The
back and upper part of the wings are
gray and the tail and larger wing
feathers are a glossy black. The legs
and feet are of reddish hue. Alto
gether Mr. Gird's pet is a formidable
looking customer. Partly for this
reason, partly because of his red poll,
partly because of his light weight in
contrast to his extreme height and
strength and partly because he shows a
vicious inclination to deal knockout
blows to whoever approaches him, Mr.
Glrd proposes tomatch him against any
captive wild bird living If the match

Africa has, perhaps, more queer birds
than any othes country. The weaver
bird is one. 1t is possessed OF a long

structing a hanging ball of grass, which
is its home, and swings safely out of
reach OF marauding animals These
nests are usually in colonies and hang
on trees in marshes. The weaver birds
make cute pets aid if given cord or

Boys don't like to study and they
act up in school. Boys are brighter than
most girls. All our great poets are
boys and all our presidents were boys.
Boys work harder than girls and peo-
pie could not live very well without
men. They pillow, do chores, and work
all over the farm. The boys like to
go fishing and swimming. People used
to think that girls did not need to be
educated, and most of our great men
did not have much education. The
amused themselves in winter by build
ing forts and snow balling, and some
times they would have a battle be-
tween two schools, and the school that
won would build monument and
make the others help. Then, boys help
in the harvesting in the summer time,
and they hunt squirrels in summer.
In winter, they hunt minks and skunks
for their hide. | cannot think of any
more.
